Nice tall fence to hide view of neighboring houses. Table and chairs were not very comfortable. A little more attention to landscaping and maybe some market lights would really improve the ambiance. Fun specialty drink menu. We had the blue jay and the pecking order. They were both good and well balanced. Ordered the filet tips with mushrooms and spinach as well as the chicken, sausage and cherry peppers. Broth in the chicken dish was too good to leave in the bowl so had to order a side of focaccia to soak it up. It would have been nice to include the bread with the dish. Not a huge portion, but enough and nothing left on the plate. Bowls looked big but not very deep so not as much as it seems in photos. Filet tips were also quite good with mushrooms and spinach Alfredo. Some of that went home in a box. Ended up spending $100 for 2 drinks and 2 dinners - no appetizers, salads or desserts. Staff was friendly and attentive. We will go back.

The restaurants ambiance could be described as French bar meets American comfort. The only reason this wasn't a 100% for us is because the wait time was more than an hour for a group of 4, each ordering an entree.

Our nar neighbor told us to get the chicken strips. They were so juicy that even the next morning the microwave didnt ruin them. Crispy, crunchy, savory. Never thought id crave a chicken tender but hey, what I know?! Nothing was regular bar food. The menu might seem like just another pub with frozen food to keep you drinking beer, but the owner wont serve anything he doesnt love. Everyone we talked to at the bar were locals and we're both a little sad some tourists found it but also they were too proud that this was their place and told us all their favorite menu items. Truly enjoyed our time and taste buds here.

My uncles and aunts who live nearby had never heard of it but we decided to give it a shot. Upon arriving, the small parking lot area was full. Uh oh. Inside, the place was pretty small, say approximately 10 tables(???) Every table was filled except one. The waitress asked if we had a reservation and we said no. She looked frazzled. We asked about sitting outside and she said we could BUT we probably wouldn't get good service. (It appeared there were only 2 waitresses doing it all.) So we waited the 15 min or so to get a table inside... Unfortunately the biggest negative was HOW LOUD IT WAS SITTING INSIDE. I'm using caps because we HAD TO YELL TO TALK TO ONE ANOTHER. It was so loud, it was EXTREMELY uncomfortable. I remember wincing when a table would laugh because it was SO DANG PIERCING LOUD. Nonetheless, the food was good. I got the buffalo chicken wrap and tots. Others in my party got a chicken Philly, French dip, a salad and a beef tip special. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The server was good. Friendly, attentive despite having to MANY tables. Atmosphere: pretty small footprint/dining area. Taxidermy on the walls, numerous TVs. VERY LOUD. All in all, good food, good service but WAY too loud for us.

The recommendations were perfect. The food was phenomenal. We started with oysters both raw and grilled and we couldn't decide which was better because both were excellent which was recommended by the waitress. We had the chicken risotto and the 1/2 chicken with mashed potatoes and spinach. The chicken was so juicy and one of the best chicken we have ever had. The risotto was so flavorful. We tried a local wine, Dr Frank semi dry Riesling which was outstanding. Dessert was just as good as dinner with homemade blackberry pie and chocolate cream pie. The ambiance was perfect for our anniversary and I included candlelight decor at our table. We definitely recommend coming here and we will be back next time in town.

Add in the ambience of a dockside restaurant on Little Sodus Bay on Lake Ontario and it's a memorable experience. My GF and I had the chicken rice bowls last week which were also very good, but these burgers are epic. You won't be disappointed.
