Food (7.5 out of 10)
mentioned by 87% of the guests
When it comes to the grub, diners are generally quite pleased! With a solid score of 7.5 and a customer satisfaction rate of 76%, the food here is definitely a highlight. Many rave about the delicious Buffalo wings, flavorful pizza, and perfectly crafted cocktails.
Based on 133 positive comments, it seems there's plenty to enjoy on the menu. However, not every dish hits the mark for everyone. Some feedback, from 30 observations, points to issues with the burger being overcooked or the steak not meeting expectations.
A few also found the sauce watery or certain drinks to be sub-par. While these are noted, the overall sentiment remains largely positive.

Often praised
- foodThe nearby oceanfront park is perfect for riding bikes and walking around. Considering the delicious food, it offered value for money. I particularly enjoyed the fish tacos and clam chowder.
- drinksWhile the waiter was kind, her lack of attentiveness, such as not asking about steak cooking preference and requiring me to flag her down, was a significant issue. The drinks were decent, but they couldn't salvage the overall experience. This is an overpriced restaurant that I will never return to.
- burgerThe burger, fries, and chicken wings were delicious!
- wingsespecially the wings, sweet and spicy
- fish tacosfish tacos...so very, very good
- friesThe burger, fries, and chicken wings were delicious!
- pizzaThe food was on point especially the wings, sweet and spicy.
- calamarithe calamari was good. Nice and crunchy
- clam chowdercups of clam chowder, which tasted pretty good
- dessertI only had dessert and it was delicious!!
Frequently criticized
- steakThe first attempt resulted in both dishes being overcooked to medium-well/well. On the second try, the burger was acceptable, but the steak was now blue/rare. After sending it back again, it returned rare, not the requested medium-rare.
- foodfood was the biggest disappointment
- burgerovercooked to medium well/well for both the burger
- drinksThe drinks are also sub-par
- Bus Light12 oz Bus Lite was $12
- French dipthe french dip had no season on the meat
- Guinness pourthey pour their Guinness in a single pour
- NY steak fritesHe requested medium and it was cooked more than he wanted
- breadAnywho, the mussels and frites were so flavorful! My only grip is that it needs to be served with bread, to soak up all that dijon sauce.
- cauliflowercauliflower was overly crunchy and not cooked all the way
Overall, the food here is a solid bet for a good meal, especially if you stick to popular items like their wings or pizza. While a few dishes might miss the mark, the general consensus is that youll find something delicious to enjoy. Its definitely worth a try for a satisfying dining experience.

Good Bar, Great Happy Hour, But Guinness Pour
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, thanks to its good bar and good location. The happy hour deals were particularly great. However, there was a minor issue with how they pour their Guinness, which is done in a single pour.
