Great meal overlooking the harbour with the sun setting.. highly recommend. Two of us had burgers, one roast beef sandwich and one halibut tacos. Great quality and fast service we all really enjoyed it!

I USED TO FAVOUR HALIBUT AND CHIPS - REAL PIECE OF FISH IN A BEER BATTER, DELICIOUS. HOWEVER MAY 30 I ORDERED SAME - BUT WHAT WAS TOUTED AS HALIBUT WAS ACTUALLY 2 PIECES OF FROZEN POLLACK SOLD EVERYWHERE,
TO CHARGE THOSE AMOUNTS FOR STUFF IN MY FRIDGE IS OUTRAGEOUS,
I SHALL ATTEND SOON TO SEE IF ANY REAL HALIBUT IS BEING SERVED - IN BATTER,

This place is way overpriced by a considerable amount I will not be going back and the service was very mediocre And the waitress was trying to justify their prices. Since the management is decided to overprice things I fear it will affect the staff's tips. I won't be going back it's too bad because the location is prime lousy management and service stay away from this place

The staff was great, food was good... but with poor menu changes, higher prices and ridiculous beer prices we likely won't be back. Saddening as we used to the pub a lot.

Over the years I have frequented this place .....and as we know with Coved all prices have risen but here at this pub they have sky rocketed!!....don't get me wrong I don't mind paying for a good meal but for it to cost an arm and a leg is outrageous ...$29.95 for Fish and Chips that the fish looked like two pieces out of a box from the Captain Higher brand at Super Store!
