Great place with truly good food. They make everything from scratch, their sauces, side dishes and desserts. Nice location at Mackenzie Beach Resort. Go for a stroll, watch the sunset and have some great food with friendly people. Almost all their interesting décor has a story as well.

Great place for a picnic, with a nice swim beach, portable washrooms. Something different than the ocean and tides. Watch the crows, they will go thru your belongings, help themselves to your food and snacks.
