About

This spot is a real mixed bag. Many diners rave about the fresh seafood and the owner Colin's quirky, characterful hospitality. However, a significant number of guests feel the decor is dated and the owner's attitude can be aggressive or rude. The rooms are basic and some report cleanliness issues. It is a love-it-or-hate-it experience where the food quality often clashes with the service style.
