I have tried quite a few of their menu options this year and have been underwhelmed by them all. This used to be a nice place to sit and enjoy lunch but the prices have soared and the menu items are not tasty. They have not recovered from the pandemic; I will keep my fingers crossed. Thankfully the snack bar has reopened and there are a few promising choices on the menu.

The chef was too creative, and added new ingredients to traditional dishes, and the experiments didn’t always work. For instance, the sauce on raw oysters, or the sauce for grilled cabbage was “strange” and not very tasty. Even the Fish and Chips were not as good as before.

                                                                        Is this helpful?

We noticed how much the other server interacted with her customers and we felt less appreciated. The food was really good. The fish from the fish and chips was the best I ever had.

It is very expensive for what you get. They use to have more sandwich options, like a chicken sandwich that was very good and reasonably priced for lunch. We probably will not be returning. It is too bad because it was a place that we enjoyed meeting friends for lunch.
