Clean interior with intimate lighting, attractive seating, and a nicely stocked long bar. Lots of TVs. Very nice. We were greeted by the lone server/bartender who brought us menus and told us all the specials of the day. I decided on the burger special - 8oz prime rib burger with cheese, bacon, and fries for only $10.00! The burger arrived open-faced, dressed with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. It looked good. It tasted really good! The burger patty was big and juicy, topped with two strips of bacon. It tasted pretty good! The fries were really good, with every one being nice and crispy. Great fries! For a completely random, unplanned visit, this was a very pleasant experience. The food was delicious, the ambiance was very nice, and the service was outstanding! Kudos to our server, Shirly(?). 4.5/5.0

The fish and chips are quite small when ordered with just one piece instead of two, so plan accordingly if you're quite hungry.

Previous visits have…read morealways been good, but this time I ordered the Seafood Special, that came with a lobster tail, shrimps, scallops, mussels and calamari. The waitress said that if I didn't like calamari, they would substitute with some additional shrimp. When the dish arrived, I didn't get additional shrimp, what they did was add some extra mussels. In fact, the meal was almost all mussels. There was a lobster tail, but in the whole meal there was only one scallop and three shrimp, all of which were significantly overcooked and rubbery. The waitress was pleasant and attentive, but it took a long time for the food to arrive, which I would think be unusual for a Thursday afternoon around 4:00 o'clock. I will certainly think twice before eating there again, and if I do, seafood will not be on the menu for me.

This is on top of my list of favourite spots to dine at in the downtown core of Port Hope. I have gone for both brunch and dinner here. Service has been excellent on the first visit. My friend ordered a seafood linguini and I ordered a stuffed Yorkshire - (a stuffed Yorkshire with slices of roast beef smothered with gravy, with mashed potatoes and vegetables on the side). It was excellent. Portions are enormous - everything can honestly be shared. The second visit was during dinner. After a few minutes of debating what to order, I decided to go for the supreme chicken Marsala. The chicken breast was stuffed with spinach, goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes - with a creamy Marsala mushroom wine sauce smothered all over. I enjoyed the dish, but was a little thrown off with the tomatoes, and found the mashed potatoes to be too salty this time. I was the only customer dining in that night, and the bartender was pleasant, although she was talking on the phone while working. I understand it wasn't busy, and it could be with management, but regardless, it is unprofessional to make calls while customers are present. The third and fourth visit - service and food were excellent. This is definitely a great spot to go to with a big group of friends (or by yourself). The lobster lover dish is amazing, especially paired with calamari for appetizers. Tuesdays an excellent day to visit Nookie's - their 8oz steak is their special for the day. It does not disappoint!
