The restaurant, located on Bay Street, makes the most of being in the center of the action downtown by appealing to all crowds with big tables for families, an attractive bar and TVs for watching sports, and a large outdoor seating area with a view that can’t be beat. The menu also has something yummy for everyone with everything from healthy salads to fried pork loin sandwiches.

Kim and I both had similar cravings — she had the fish tacos while I ordered the grilled shrimp taco special.
