    If you smile nicely with your request they will sub prawns for fish in the fish and chips. Premium worth it. But the regular fish and chips are really good too.

    Keep it simple. Go seafood. Don't play with other dishes JUST DO SEAFOOD. Weekend brunch is with it just for the Crab legs. #WeBrunchHard

    Shrimp over cooked, steak chewy, fish an chips rubbery. Best part of the meal was the bread!

    Очень рыбное место - на стенах рыбы, в меню одни рыбы... Гребешки не понравились, зато чаудер был отличный.
