We arrived a beautiful Sunday morning at 9:30am. There wasn’t anyone else in the restaurant and therefore this should have been a sign. The waitress was nice but not a smile to be had. We both ordered the eggs Benedict with salmon and goat cheese. This is always my dish that I order when I go somewhere new first for the first time. Let’s start with the positive.

They always have a burger, a pizza, mussels, poutine and a pasta dish, sometimes they'll have a fish or steak. Appetizers also available. They have a cute backyard patio. We had the fried calamari, which was excellent. I had a tuna tartare and my sweetheart had the mussels in a tomato/basil sauce. Both came with thin fries and homemade mayo. Both were good. They have a few basic beers on tap and a small wine list. When we feel like eating out but don't want anything too fancy this is our...
