Went for lunch and really enjoyed the vibe — relaxed atmosphere and super friendly staff. Most of the food was great: brisket taco, hot chips, and pan-seared salmon were all spot on. The Peruvian Chicken Supreme was good, but the corn was a bit burnt and gave the dish a slightly burnt taste. Coffee was decent, but not strong — maybe just the beans. Overall, would recommend!

On a cold winter's morning, we saw the open fire burning brightly, and we're so glad we walked in. The breakfasts are beautifully presented, delicious and well priced. The staff friendly. The decor welcoming and relaxing. Loved it!

Great place with a great atmosphere. Staff friendly and hot chips were great with really nice seasoned salt. I love the big open fireplace. Great place to come and chill or catch up with friends. Id fef recommend coming here.

We stopped in for brunch on the way to DFO and really enjoyed our meal. I had the eggs Benedict with mortadella and a latte - both were excellent. A small touch like bringing water to the table would make it even better. Ordering via the QR code is handy, though it does take away a bit of the personal service. It’s a great spot for people-watching with a lovely view of the river.

The Boatbuilders Yard Great place to catch up with friends and enjoy a nice time. The view is beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxed, and everything was very clean. The service was excellent — the staff were super friendly and made us feel really welcome. The food was okay, and there was a 10% surcharge because it was the weekend, but overall, it was a good experience thanks to the great service.
