exchange bar & grill

Great view from the rear deck over the riverside and off to the harbor in the distance. Lots of boat activity and on a clear, warm day, a pleasant outdoor experience.Tables on the deck are labeled so a party of 2 should not attempt to sit at a round table for 4 or 6 for instance. Well, at 3pm, the deck and bar are not really standing-room-only, the dinner rush is still a couple of hours away.....but our prickly waitress insisted we (a party of 2) needed to sit next to a (rowdy) party of 8 or 10 because that particular table was seating for a party of 2, while the quieter table where we had wanted to sit was for a party of 4 or more. "We are sticklers about this", she said. So we begrudgingly sat next to the loudly singing table (8 of them, I think) hosting a groups of partiers. I don't care really. I guess....until the next party of 2 were allowed to sit where we had originally wanted to do even though there were tables for 2 available.SO MUCH for being STICKlers... You know what? Have a policy - or don't have a policyThe onion rings were great; nicely fried with a thick batter, to a nice, even brown.The chicken wrap I had was fine, if just generic and unremarkable; my companion had fish and chips which were an ample serving and apparently tasty but unremarkable. We definitely enjoyed the view; we did not enjoy the rowdy party next to us (although this place does emphasize its bar atmosphere despite the signs on the awnings out front hyping the food fare), we did not enjoy the loudspeaker music blaring in competition with the partiers. We thought the food that we had was just pedestrian.Still, to eat and drink agreeably enough with a neat panorama, stop by; don't expect any culinary delights and don't sit at a table that can seat too many more people than the number in your party...or the waitress/barmaid may bite you for doing so.

Shrimp & broccoli pizza didn't disappoint. Had impending train & waitress made sure got out in time & beer was such a deal didn't want to leave their outdoor deck.
