Two of us had the Captain's Fish & Chips, which was fair, not great, not horrible. It's four fish fillets served with cole slaw and fries.

Had the salmon. It was cold and hard. Salmon is supposed to be flaky, not over cooked. Obviously the server was not told that we were sat. Took forever for someone to come over to us. The girl was nice though and did apologize. Nothing special... more

Yeah, it's a chain, blah, blah, blah. But you know what? The food was good and we'd definitely go back. Sometimes, it's fun to be a tourist. more

The service was great, the food was great and the atmosphere was great. A good way to unwind for a bit while out shopping and enjoying the town! Love the "Run Forrest Run" and "Stop Forrest Stop" signs to get the attention of your waiter/waitress! more
