Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Melanie Thompson
The dining room service was very slow, it took 15 minutes order drinks another 10, at least, to receive said drinks then once we ordered it took another 45 minutes to get our food. The dining room was not busy, the bar side seemed like it was busier. I'd go back, the wings and fries were fantastic but service was lacking!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Allan Hansford
I’ve been twice once for breakfast and once for dinner, the breakfast was amazing, and very well priced for the amount of food you get. Dinner was also very good. Service was good with friendly staff as well. Overall I recommend giving this restaurant a try if you’re in Olcott.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Beverly McArthur
Fantastic food! Great prices! Tried this place years ago but now under new management, remodeled & new menu. There is a sous chef in the kitchen that cranked out 5 star restaurant dishes. We are seafood lovers & tried ahi tuna cooked to perfection & their clams & mussels in garlic, butter, & wine sauce over lingiuni! No leftovers... Their soup choices & salads were also impressive. Glad we went for a fathers day dinner. Great choice and will definitely return to try other items on their menu!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Dan Crone
Wing night (Thursday) is a must. Wings are good and inexpensive. I stopped by again for a bite and ordered the stuffed hot pepper appetizer. It was great! I recommend eating here and the beverages are cold 🥶.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Adrianne Parmenter
Love a good looking salad and this one did not disappoint
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jill Keys
We had a wonderful dinner and the waitresses were wonderful with suggesting foods to try. We had an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms , main course of coconut shrimp with their New England clam chowder AND still made room for the cheesecake! Our kids also, for the first time, ate everything that was on their plate!!
This is a great, family friendly restaurant.
