You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I loved the chowder and stuffed haddock. I like to sit upstairs because of the view. It's very clean great Staff. Prices are kind of expensive but that's to be expected with seafood.

After having 3 drinks we were asked to leave!!We visited as a family, mum dad, daughter and future son in law, told the server we were there for the evening, ordered some drinks and some food, the nachos were average at best, the tenders dry and over cooked. We then asked for another drink and were astonished that we were only allowed 3 alcoholic drinks each as it was a family restaurant!!We were a family that had walked 15 minutes in the rain to celebrate Fatherâs Day with a few drinks and a bite to eat.The manager, Kylie,was extremely rude and asked us to leave, at 9.30pmOverall, an awful experience at a restraunt with poor staff and average food. I suspect that the only reason it stays in business is because it is the only bar/ restaurant in the area.We have been visiting from the UK and thought this would be a nice last night of our holiday. How wrong we were!!Hello and thank you for reaching out. As with all of our guests, your safety is top priority for us. We apologize that you felt this was unjustified but our staff is only looking to do the right thing. We would be happy to discuss further if you could email us at [email protected]. Thank you.

Stepping into this dinner is like a trip down memory lane. We went there for lunch and our favorites turned out to be their warm meatloaf sandwich, burgers and BLT. The service we received was excellent.

We are so very happy that you enjoyed your Delmonico steak with all the fixings. We do have an amazing selection of "Hope"made desserts that everyone should sample!

We had a wonderful lunch today - tasty food and excellent service. For appetizers we had the O Pops (which are my favorite) and my companions raved about the Crispy Duck Lollipops. Once again I had the grilled steak tips and they did not disappoint. The price is very reasonable at lunch time for the quality and quantity of food. I think the mark of a good restaurant is consistency and not having been to O's in quite awhile, I was thrilled that the food and service were as good as I remembered. Thanks to Kim for excellent service once again!

The Local Eatery features a year-round menu using as much local food as Chef Kevin Hallifan can find. Even through the winter produce will be preserved from summer surplus or greenhouse grown by special arrangement with local farmers.

A lovely culinary experience showing the talents of an ambitious highly trained chef. The location alone is worth a visit. The restaurant is in a photogenic and beautifully restored vintage train station. Service was impeccable. We had a delicious wild mushroom soup. My wife had scallops on a bed of pumpkin risotto and I had a Caesar salad with grilled swordfish. Textures were great, the swordfish was cooked the right amount. Personally I would have liked a little more salt in the mushroom soup and on the fish, and maybe a little less dressing on the salad. The croutons were whole slices of French bread, which made them a little difficult to eat. But I am picking at fine points in a fine restaurant. I heartily recommend a visit.

All 3 of us had the fish and chips - we all agreed it was the best! Breading was so thin and crisp. Haddock was fresh and flaky. The fries (chips) were thick cut slices (circles) instead of shoestrings. So good. They asked if you wanted bread (we did) and it came out as a mini round loaf - crusty outside, soft inside. Server was very friendly and quick with drink refills. We left our card there and when I called back to check, they offered to mail it to us (we weren't from the area).WE love to hear this! Thank you. Hope to see you again next time you are in town!

Excellent food! Great choices for vegans, vegetarians, or other. My favorite meals were the vegetarian ones (mixed vegetable bowl was the best!) , but all options were very well prepared (shrimp, steak roulade, salads, flat breads.) Variety of alcoholic beverages that were unique and very enjoyable. This would get 5 stars but for the length of time to serve the food. It comes out family style to share, but for a large group such as ours, the time to prepare the choices was lengthy. That's because it is all freshly made, but it did make it difficult with a toddler, despite the very accommodating staff. Will definitely go back!
