"Stopped for lunch in between morning and afternoon activities. This turned out to be a great spot, service was quick and efficient and the food was excellent...prices are what I expected for a tourist area. Highly recommend stopping in for breakfast or lunch if your in town! Oh and the fries are delicious!"
Nick Didelot
"The breakfast here was great and our server was prompt. Prices ran around 10 - 12 dollars a plate. The restaurant is somewhat small and can get crowded with cruise passengers, but it wasn't as bad as the breweries in town."

"Had a great lunch here in Aug 2021! Loved the 1/4 lb grilled halibut sandwich with onion rings and the service was friendly and quick. Definitely recommended."
