What to Order
Crab Cakes
These savory cakes are a highly recommended appetizer, praised for their taste and quality, though some note the portion size is small for the price.
"Strongly suggest the crab cakes by the way"
Shannon
Fish and Chips
A standout dish featuring a generous portion of lightly battered, perfectly cooked fish with thin, crisp fries and a light, creamy coleslaw.
"We both ordered the fish and chips and it was easily one of the best, if not the very best, fish and chips we both ever had! The fries were in the French bistro style, thin, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside and perfectly cooked. The fish was a generous portion and lightly battered, nice and meaty, and again perfectly cooked; nothing was mushy at all."

Pasta of the Day
Often a special, the pasta dish is frequently highlighted for its unique combinations and delicious flavors, such as mushroom stuffed ravioli with crispy prosciutto.
"3 of us had the pasta special...omg...mushroom stuff ravioli in a brown butter sauce with sun dried tomatoes, roasted nut medley adorned with crispy prosciutto. Taste buds didn't know what was happening, but it was amazing."
