Terrible experience for Easter Sunday lunch only 2 other people in the restaurant at 1pm but it still took 45 minutes to get our food a salad and fish and chips. The salad was pretty average but the fish was completely inedible it was dripping with oil so much so it soaked into the chips and salad it came with and tasted disgusting. We do not recommend this restaurant!

We had a table for 2 on the window. The outlook is amazing and while the floor under our table hadn't been vacuumed the table was clean and the setting was nice. The staff were pleasant and attentive. The lunch menu was limited, my salmon was cooked well, my partner said his steak sandwich was ordinary. We followed up with a chocolate brownie which was very dry and for $18 was expensive. I don't feel this restaurant has taken full advantage of their location.
