This place has a great history, I've been here a few times over the years but last time I have to say I wasn't overly impressed. Had the soft shelled crab and although it was soft it was also very salty - more salt flavour than crab flavour. Others had calamari, theirs was very generously sized but very greasy, to be honest not really much of a taste difference from what you'd find at a pub. Their fish dishes were a little better and less greasy but pricey for what they were. Chips are cool but not really chips - more like little potatoes than chips. All up for the nearly $100 I spent for my family I could have gotten a great meal with dessert somewhere else but instead ended up with greasyness here. Seating is squeezy too but that's not unusual or new.
This place is ok! It's the sort of place you'd take your grandma - it's safe, good food, fresh etc. However, a seafood restaurant has the potential to be fun, interesting and new ideas for food. There is so much you can do with seafood and this place just sticks to the basics. It's pretty expensive too!!
