I had the salmon my mother had haddock. My wife had the mac & cheese. The food was great as usual and of course, a dessert which is always the best part of going to the galley hatch. It was busy, but service was pretty quick. The waitress was awesome. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

It was a hopping Friday night and she was kicking butt, and pleasant as could be. We had a 6pm Friday night reservation and had asked to sit near the live music. Even with the bustle we were seated promptly at 6, and we're super close to the musicians (MC Gill with Elijah Blue- so great!), and the ambiance was fantastic. After 2 wines, a beer, chowder, and two dinners, we fully expected the meal to be more than the $90 bill. We had never been here before, but we will be back!
