“ Tried out this place for weekend lunch and got their garlic fries, crab chowder, and fish and chips. Food was generally good and freshly made. I especially liked that their garlic fries had strong flavor but did not feel heavy eating them. Food came out quickly and there was just enough seating in the area to grab a table. There is a clear wall surrounding the tables to allow for a view while you eat. ”
“ This is the perfect place to stop for a quick drink before a boat tour. Right by the dock, by the public restrooms, and pretty quick service. ”
“ The clam chowder was yummers. Tough bread, but I suppose that is how it is. Slightly undersalted, but yummers nonetheless. Service was a little slow, but it was a busy Sunday evening. Understandable. Ambiance had room for improvement. Since the place was crowded and the tables are arranged closely, it got a little humid. Price of being popular. Would like to try out the place at a less busier time. ”
“ Great spot for a quick bite! Service was attentive and fast, so was the food. Staff is constantly checking on tables and cleaning. Food was quite tasty, got the clam chowder bread bowl plus fish and chips. ”
“ Nice place to grab a drink! We were walking around the city and were in the mood for some drinks. We checked this place out and sat at the bar. Service was really fast and everyone was really nice. We only ordered drinks but the menu had some great options. ”
“ For a place within the wharf, it is not too bad of a place to visit! The place may look a little bit sketch, but the food is pretty good! Although finding seating can be a little rough, it is not usually as packed as other places around the wharf. There is not a lot of cover from the sun depending on the time of day and there are a lot of birds around, so be prepared to fight some adventurous pidgins. However, I don't mind too much as someone who has eaten street food in the Philippines. Besides, they got some sick street performers nearby so you get to hear that too. As for the food, it definitely carries my rating! It is a solid 4/5 all around and even sometimes a 5/5 based on the price. The portion size is definitely filling, the calamari and fish n chips heal the inner child within me, the crab appealed to my inner Filipino with the immense amount of garlic and butter (obviously an exaggeration it's pretty good), and one of my favorite clam chowder spots. ”
