Derek Stapleton

Just had our Christmas Party there and the service was amazing and the food was to die for. I had the roast beef dinner and it came with the creamiest potatoes i have ever had and the roast beef was melt in your mouth good. Cant wait to go back again :)

Great friendly service; waiter was on point! Food and wine was delicious. Ambiance was lovely... busy ... but quiet enough to chat comfortably. Really enjoyed the experience...

Harry Lam

Great food, amazing staff and incredible service. Will definitely be going back!

Ashley Fowler

Seafood pasta and seafood chowder is off the charts good. Claudette was our server and she's hilarious and straight to the point. Great service. Best food in Sydney right now!!

Kirsten LeBlanc

Debbie Hillier

Good pulled pork grilled cheese

Nicole Serroul

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Get the wonton nachos - they were insanely good. I would go just for those.

B Williams

This is becoming a favourite of mine. I've been there so often that some of the staff already know what I'm going to order! Food is delicious, and the service is spectacular.

Guillaume Lane

First visit and it will not be our last. Everything was perfect.

Jonathan MacDonald

Excellent staff and the food is always delicious ! The pasta dish was cooked perfectly and the steak was the best I've had in a long time !

Excellent service and excellent food. Every time

Jecca Currie

Nice place to visit for a relaxing evening, food was really good and our waiter was great.

Rick W

The waiters were very nice but the food was not very good.

Andrew Hamilton

Service was great - that's where the good news ends. We should have known better for a Friday evening dinner stop when we walked in to see paper placemats, diner-style tables and chairs, etc. This was like an overpriced local version of Swiss chalet. If you like poorly seasoned, poorly presented, poorly constructed meals, that's okay- but I don't agree with gastro pub prices on such awful food. Instant mashed potatoes, gravy from a mix, etc, just led to an overall over priced and discusting meals. We ate only a little bit - just not worth the Friday evening date night. But again, want to stress the service was A1 - which, hilariously, A1 probably would have made the steak edible..

Kenny Mahar

Great food great service and all Nova Scotia safety measures in place.

Darryl MacLeod

The food the atmosphere and the staff are all amazing

Josh Cheater

Best Turkey dinner. But its limited to the holiday's

Adam Travis

I'd give here a 2.5 I think. Tried here for lunch on a sunny Monday in late December. The place was maybe half full or so. Bright with lots of natural lighting, mid-sized restaurant, simple decor. Standard service. I tried the Nachos (13.99 plus 3.50 for chicken. "house made chips covered with red & green peppers, red onion, mixed cheeses, salsa & sour cream"). I found there was not much toppings at all besides the cheese, maybe a spoonful of diced pepper & onion that I had to dig around for. I didn't bother mention because I was hungry and ate them anyway. My friend had the 2 pc Boardwalk Beer Battered Fish & Chips (10.99) and found it very average, nothing wrong with it, nothing memorable. I'd come back here if someone wanted to, and would try something else, but didn't find it was anything special. Perhaps it's best enjoyed on the patio in the summer with some drinks.

CHAOS DERKINDEREN

Having only been here once, this review is strictly brought down by the food that was ordered during my visit. Service however, was fantastic. Very polite, efficient, and we never had an empty glass of water. The location itself is beautiful, well lit with great views of the boardwalk and harbour. It must be said the interior decor does let it down slightly by not providing an environment that befits the prime real estate. There is a decent wine & beer selection (the Merlot on offer is quite nice) and the food menu seems to have many (albeit very "standard") choices for everyone. If you know what a good steak tastes like however, I do recommend staying clear of the "House Special" 10oz AAA Strip. The steak itself, while cooked as ordered (med-rare), was incredibly bland and lacked any real flavour. The vegetables were a depressing duo of overcooked and wilted broccoli & haphazard chunks of carrot. The supposedly "garlic" mashed potatoes were also bland and underwhelming, both in taste and presentation, although the portion size was HUGE (almost half the plate). I had expected much more, given the other reviews and the prime location. I will go back again to try other menu items, and this could certainly influence a change (hopefully for the better) in the rating. The main reason I am going back however is due to the great service. Summary: Add flavour to the menu and hire a designer. Keep the great front-of-house staff.

Kenny Dolomont

I went here for lunch. The food was excellent and the service was great. Prices very reasonable. I would recommend this restaurant.

Charlotte McLellan

Bill Bishop

Great food/service

Cecilia J. LeBlanc

Very positive experience. Great service. Variety of gluten free options. Tasty food and not long waiting time. Highly recommended. Very clean washrooms.

Alan Nathanson

Tasty food, excellent service and friendly atmosphere.

Helen Morrison

Great location and awesome service. Food came up short, for me. Tuna tacos had as much lettuce as my salad and the fish was over-cooked and grey. Sticking to fries + sandwich would have been a better option.

Allison Mackie

Service was impeccable. We had a group of 15 meals were amazing.

Liliia Liliia

The fish tacos we outstanding, the guy they had playing live music was amazing. I'd pay to see him again.

Gerard Godin

Had the tuna toco's and the portobello burger. Fantastic food, fast, great service.

Debbie Connors

Great location for medium to large bowel movements. Toilets did not clog and staff was great. Recommend !

Craig MacLeod

Best food and service in Sydney

Dawn Mackinnon

Nice view. All windows so there's lots of sunshine coming in. Our food was ok. Not anything special but our server Tammy was fantastic! Just use your pen and pad like you wanted to ????

Jay P

Scallop Carbonara. 'Nuff said. That was truly awesome. Brought the leftovers to my hotel room for later.

Ling Ryan

It's always great food, friendly service and we love the atmosphere. My boyfriend and I go alone or we bring our daughter. Its family friendly or a great place for date night. I recommend it to everyone who asks "where should I eat tonight" ????

Zach Delvecchio

The food is soo good! The prices are pretty good as well! You don't need to worry about your wallet being broken! The servers are super kind

Janet Batstone

Amazing whiskey BBQ sauce wings and spinach dip.

First time there,definitely not the last. Celebrated my son's birthday with a family supper. Excellent service, food was great too from steaks,to fish tacos and sandwiches. Prices were average and comparable.

Beth Jessome

You have to eat here. Food was amazing. Food is always consistently the same great food. Very clean, many menu items to choose from. Service couldn't get any better and price was very reasonable. Have to try the white sangria.

Rilla Barrett

Great selection of beer on tap from a few local breweries! If you like dark beers, give the Nine Locks Porter a try. Service was friendly and excellent. Chicken wings were really good. Great proportion of fresh salad with the striploin steak (steak was a little overcooked, but the salad made up for it) Would return for sure!

Michelle MacLellan

Good food... good prices... very good service

Brian Budden

Fantastic service, great choice of beer, delicious food. What more could you ask for?

Matt Trynchuk

Did not have the greatest experience at this place, we placed orders, and 5 mins later I had the menu slammed back down in front of me and was told what I ordered wasn’t available, so I re ordered. 5 mins after that I was told nvm the original order was actually being prepared. My dates wineglass randomly just broke, wine everywhere, we were told sorry, cheap wine glasses. Our food came my chicken was dry and old, the dish just wasn’t good (I’m not picky). Then after paying the bill, which I thought was a little much, I noticed that I had been charged for both my food orders, and it seemed like a big inconvenience to get my money back, because they were counting tills.

Mark

seafood chowder was excellent

Bernard Young

Excellent snacks and wonderful staff!

chrissy hall

Garlic mashed steak was perfect!

Jim Dunphy

Great food and the lunch specials are well worth your time and money.
