Pros:
"Great place to dine on the water! From what I saw, there isn’t a bad table in the place."

"Unfortunately the food wasn't mind blowing so I felt it was a rather average pub experience."
"We were made to stand for 15 minutes by the toilets without consideration for covid safety."
"If you arrive by car, plan ahead or expect to walk a few streets as the road is narrow and offers no dedicated parking."
"The view is significantly better than the food."
"The ambience was unappealing, with bright lighting and outdated decor."
"The place was quite noisy, lot of people speaking loud, inconsiderate."
