"I went here probably 2 times before, food was great. The 3rd time, I ordered the pancakes, they were pretty much cold. My meal was the last one out to the table. Was thinking they would be hot. But other then that time. The Cafe is great. Location is wonderful"

"We liked the location and waterside setting immensely, and the menu was full of interesting choices. Service was good and my meal (fish and chips) excellent. However my wife's chicken shaslicks weren't properly cooked, one in particular having raw chicken on the inside. She should have complained but didn't want any trouble. She later came down with a salmonella type infection and had to be treated by her doctor. However she is fine now although wary of chicken products. It's a shame because everything else was just fine including the coffees. Maybe check your chicken shaslick inside before eating? Cheers!"
