Inside Scoop
- The views of the inner harbor are a major draw, especially from outdoor seating.
- Service can be inconsistent, with some experiences being excellent and others very slow or inattentive.
- The quality of the food, particularly fries and certain dishes, has been noted as declining by some long-time patrons.
- They offer a selection of their own brewed beers, including a highly-rated Pilsner available for off-sale.
- Consider visiting for breakfast, as they open at 9:00 a.m. and offer specialty coffee and baked goods (though quality varies).
