First time in and great First impression timely staff and food was very good, however not a fan of the shoestring fries should have got the sweet potato fries instead I will definitely be back????

Avoid this place. Stopped here for lunch, a) found something that resembled a small oyster floating in my pint of beer b) numerous brown slimy pieces of lettuce in my salad. Mentioned it to the busboy as he collected my plate, then the waiter mentions it and states he went to the kitchen but didn't notice any problem in the batch.. okay buddy so now you're calling me a liar even after the beer glass issue??? I wont mention the shrimp and peach wrap special that turned out to be a peach wrap, with small battered deep fried shrimp you could barely see or taste because the peach wedges were sliced to big. But hey, this guy was given a 10% discount woohoo..

My husband and I haven’t been to Port Colborne and this place has the best reviews. The menu sounded fantastic! Unfortunately it didn’t live up to it. They were slammed and we didn’t even mind waiting 30 minutes for an appetizer and 1 hour for lunch at 2:30 on a Sunday. All in all, the food was horrible! To start we had the lobster portobello “to share.” It was 1 portobello, it was all grey. No seasoning or flavor and the lobster tasted like it was a day old or so. For mains, we both had the lobster roll and sweet potato fries. The roll was not toasted and didn’t even have butter on it. It was the rolls you normally get to start a meal. The lobster tasted like it was days old. Again no seasoning. It was small and chewy. The fries were fried ok but again no seasoning at all. This was probably the worst food I’ve had while in Canada. It was hard to take down. The service was ok. I understand they were slammed. I wish we would have tried another place. We will not be coming back.
