Great tuna and fish and chips!

Stopped in here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The outside/inside of the restaurant is a little run down but the food was delicious. I ordered the tuna sandwich and the pesto combo was delicious. My mom had the fish and chips and said they were the best she has had in some time. My kids split the black bean burger (no goats cheese) and ate every bite. I highly recommend this spot.

Significantly Above Expectations!

At first when we came in for our first time here and we heard the kitchen was short-staffed we were concerned. The restaurant cook and our server, Stephanie, went beyond all expectations! My wife and I both had the house fish and chips. The fish was perfectly fresh, properly breaded with a crispy coating, and great tasting l. The accompanying shoestring fries and Cole slaw both rose above the ordinary. The cabbage slaw was augmented with fresh greens and a tasty "oriental" themed dressing. My wife had the basic fries, I opted for the garlic seasoned fries with Parmesan. (No extra charge!) Both were excellent. The restaurant features the locally- brewed Arch Rock beers. We had the smooth and flavorful porter.

Not for medium sized Parties

We stopped here as our second choice because Spinners didn’t open till 4:30 pm. Walked in the place with my family of 6, 2 of which were 8 year old twin girls. There was plenty of space available. The head hostess said said they couldn’t accommodate 6 and our only option would be that 4 of us had to sit at one table and 2 at the bar table. Ya like that’s what we want to do for a family lunch/dinner on vacation. I asked her if she couldn’t squeeze in 2 more chairs at the long table and she only said they could do 5. We then began to check our options for other restaurants, and was eventually asked to wait outside until we made a decision. With that request our decision was instantly made. We went to Port Hole Cafe down the road where the staff was more than accommodating, the food was awesome, and the view, a water ocean view, was spectacular. I wouldn’t say that the hostess was directly rude, but instead very much not willing to be accommodating. I guess things do happen for a reason, because I think we had a much better experience at the Port Hole Cafe than we ever would had at this place.
