  Great hidden gem tucked away in the far corner of an old run-down plaza. The interior of the restaurant isn't much to look at either, with dated tables and chairs and staff and inadequate lighting, but it's the food that counts!
  
  They specialize in fish and chips, so that's what we got and it was excellent. Light, crispy batter around juicy, tender halibut fish without being soaked in oil. This is what fish & chips should taste like. I got the halibut & greek salad, so I was missing the 'chips', but the greek salad was also very good. It is a bit pricey though, where the Halibut & Greek Salad costing $18.45.
  
  The steak was juicy and good, though I would still go with the fish and chips. Next time, I plan on trying the burger as well.
  
  Service was very nice and friendly.

  I read all the glowing reviews of their fish and chips and decided to try it.
  Disappointed to say the least.
  First fish and chips came with frozen fries. Egh.
  So I ordered home fries. Egh. They were dry, flavourless and burnt.
  Dissatisfied to say the least.
  On to the fish. I ordered halibut. Fish was a big portion. BUT the batter was absolutely awful. Thick, hard and flavourless again.
  Had a bottled water and the halibut.
  Bill came to over $20.
  Whatever.
  Btw they should renovate the place or at least clean once a year. Egh.

  Decided to try something different for breakfast.  The restaurant time warps you back to the time with good service, good food in conjunction with traditional diner style decor.   We had the breakfast-Eggs Benedict with home style potato.  The eggs were not over or undercooked-just right and the homestyle potato did not come with optional oil and grease-perfect!  
  
  Next time I will try the fish and chips which is their claim to fame-maybe I will go for lunch :)

  Intimate fish and chips joint.  Old old style decor and changed ownership about 4 years ago but everything is the same including the staff.  Coleslaw is finely cut and has a pickled taste to it which I like a lot.  The fries are thick cut and the fish is great.  All the tartar sauce comes in packets so it's kinda old school.  
  
  The rhubarb pie and bread pudding desserts are all homemade and tastes great!
  
  My go-to fish and chips place when in my hood.

  I really like their fish. They use a little too much batter but overall the service and atmosphere is pretty nice!
