I threw out the food and gave a 20% tip because I thought food was going to be like a restaurant. This was a frozen burger and frozen fish sandwich heated in a microwave. The burger was so hard it couldn’t be cut into. The fish was covered with some hot sauce that made it inedible. We couldn’t eat anything and threw it all away.

It is GORGEOUS here, what a fabulous spot. Just ok basic mediocre food though, too bad. It’s fine but for this amazing location it should be simple really great quality food, it isn’t. And a little overpriced considering but truly prime spot to sit outside and enjoy the harbor.
