Delicious fish and chips with a light batter and love the touch of bringing the tartar sauce bottle for those that want what they want! Nice covered patio touch.

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this before - I have been a patron for over 20 years. But lately I come regularly for work lunches and business meetings as well as the scattered weekend brunch with family and friends. This place is a gem with one of the best kitchens in the city. And the prices are very reasonable. …
