    The service was top-notch, very friendly and efficient server. The food was excellent; my friend had the Wed night steak special, which is an awesome deal, and said it was so tender. I had the pan fried haddock which was delicious and when my server heard I wanted seafood chowder as well, she offered to make it my side for a small extra fee. It also came with yummy roasted vegetables
