★★★★★ 5.0 Newington Resident · Dec 2025

By far the BEST fish and chips around. Super crispy, not dripping with oil, and piping hot! Again… phenomenal fish and chips. The rib appetizer and chili and clam chowder were excellent too!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Bryan Neurath · Jul 2023

Decided to stop in right when they opened for a quick set of appetizers and a snack with a friend. Service and atmosphere were excellent, food was mediocre. Drink was good, but they had no drink menu when asked which is unusual. Calamari sauce was very bland for the name "firecracker". Asian tuna nachos were the opposite and too heavy on the wasabi. Oysters came with 1 fork and no spoon for the mignonette which also tasted off. Based on reviews from friends I was pretty disappointed especially for the price point, but I will probably try again for dinner service once the kitchen is more settled. Would not reorder anything I had.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Zelia C. de Mello · Mar 2026

This is a great place with very good food and good price . Service is excellent , food is good quality and very tasty and the price is right . The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because they don’t have gluten free options . No gluten free pasta and very limited choice if you are gluten intolerant .

While it is a little off the beating path, it is a fine establishment that has been in the area for several years. Their prices are reasonable. Their menu is varied and quite good. Always a consideration when looking for a last-minute place to go during the week for dinner.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Suzy Miller · Feb 2026

Insane prices...17.00 glass of wine...18.00 green salad, 10.00 more to add 3 small chicken slices, 12.00 " bowl " of soup with about a cup in that bowl...waitress did not bring bread or crackers till asked., she also did not ask what size we wanted our dishes..just brought out full sized before we could catch that...unbelievable , never to be repeated experience..
