Food was excellent. Ambiance was very pleasant. Service very mediocre. Several different servers for our table. Perhaps miscommunication meant we had no plates to eat our food off of. We had to ask for plates while our food just sat in front of us…. Appetizers should have been served to us at the same time…not separately. With exception of the mediocre service this review would have been excellent.

A great spot on the Midland harbor. First time eating in the dining room and not the patio. Casual dining, with a good menu of apps. The burgers seem very appealing, with interesting toppings. It was only lunch, so I had the a quesadilla. It was very large and tasty. A bit over toasted, and missing salsa, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Very pleasant server. Prices have increased as everywhere! Overall a great go-to spot for our area.

Had halibut and chips Halibut was mushy and chips looked and tasted like re-cooked Coleslaw was grey and never ate because looked old It was our anniversary so they brought us a brownie with candles on to share The brownie was delicious We didn't complain because quite frankly I'm tired of complaining Just won't go again

We had booked for the patio but of course we hit the only day this summer that it was too cool to eat out. No problems! They sorted us with an inside table by the window so we could see the water. Everything was really nice. We were a 6 o’clock seating so the food came a little too fast. Next time if I arrived at 6 I would order a bit later. Not a problem at the 6:30or 7 pm seating so I suspect the kitchen was just trying to get the momentum going. But it was delicious and the servers were very attentive !

Made a reservation because we wanted to listen to some music , have drinks and eat dinner later. Arrived, did not get seated had to wait for people with no reservation that were seated first? Told there was no music that day? We sat for 15 minutes and got no service at all? Asked several waitresses to send someone over. No one came so we finally left. DO BETTER!
