Use to be a go to spot when we visited Havre de Grace. Like to sit in the outside deck. The inside seating has glass wall for good view during the winter. My favorite was the burgers, fries and a house salad. I also ordered the Onion Soup or Cream of Crab Soup. Both were equal or better than any that I've had.

The past few trips were disappointing. Earlier this spring, I traveled alone from Baltimore to shop in town then eat, but the deck was reserved for a private event (don't recall if seating at the bar was reserved as well or whether it was offered as a option. Staff seemed preoccupied and inattentive, probably due to the event. Food was OK.

The last time my wife accompanied me, and we were looking forward to shopping and a meal. We went to the deck and were told to see the hostess inside. Once inside, we decided to stay indoors. Because the deck smelled like garbage or manure (possibly from active landscaping along the city waterfront, not related to the restaurant). The hostess gave us a choice of seats, and we picked a table a few feet away from her station. After a full 15 minutes I shrugged, and she asked if anyone had waited on us; she summoned the waitress from the deck, who asked if we sat without assistance. She took our drinks order. I heard the table behind us ask for more dinner rolls. When she returned, I asked for rolls. The waitress explained rolls aren't included unto after 4:00 they had rolls.

The menu had been reduced since my last visit. They remived the house salad, but offered a large Ceasar and a Wedge Salad priced as a meal. I ordered a burger with mayonnaise, but I got the wrong burger that came with bourbon sauce, which was another menu item, that was fine, but I asked for ketchup for the fries and didn't get it until the burger was almost finished.

I understand that the declining economy and covid has hurt the industry. They had a good thing for the past 12 years. I considered them to be 5 star for a Pub-style restaurant, but something changed. Even minor things like switching from plates to aluminum baking pans.

I haven't written them off yet, but I'll first try somewhere else next time I'm in town.
