Reviews
"The seafood chowder and the salad are great. It’s a shame they didn’t have the steamed mussels today instead we have to order the baked one which is really garlic flavored. Next time we have to try the steamed ones."
"We weren’t let down by the mussels, which are renowned for this restaurant. Service was prompt and effective."
"Food was terrible, they forgot what I ordered and still tried to argue. Quality and size of food is similar to frozen food. As soon as I arrived the bar tender told me at least 4 times that there would be an hour wait on food, despite looking like a slow day! Pretty sure he just wanted to avoid dealing with another order. After that food arrived in 30min. Where no cutlery was provided and the bar tender seemed doing nothing to assist with pointing me in the right direction. I'd recommend elsewhere for food"
"Overall not a bad experience. Mussels were good, steak was a bit on the tough side. Edible just a little chewy. Atmosphere was lively, busy, service was excellent."
"Place has lots of character and great beer selection . $15 fish n chip special was good value, and was mostly great but fish slightly underdone. Apart from that meal was great, and mixed mussel platter was interesting but good!"
