    Slightly disappointed with service- had to ask 2/3 times for a few things- even though been told they were coming, food ok, maybe my choice- but the soft crab burger fell apart, king prawns were delicious but messy and no finger bowl offered. Fish pie ok. Nice experience overall, probably will try again.

    Wonderful experience with our whole family. Service was slow to start but picked up after about 15 minutes. Food and drinks were top notch. The fish pie was amazing!

    Pre-theatre lunch here. Wonderful selections and terrific service. Started with seafood bisque. Really nice flavor but no cream and a little thin. Shrimp and soft shell crab burger for my main. It was nicely prepared but I didn’t really feel like the burger setup so ate it without the bun. Prepared so nicely. Two tables near us ordered the grilled scallop appetizer. It smelled so good and is definitely worth another visit to sample. Attentive, polite service which covered for a kitchen that seemed a little slow.
