This may seem confusing, but it's basically the same restaurant as "Dinkles" listed here as well just a different atmosphere. They're side by side. Pick your side! TIP: Ask to sit in their "secret garden patio" ...hidden it is. So beautiful.

Seasonal restaurant. Fun open atmosphere on the pier–the food is just okay–decent pub/bar and grill type food. It is a nice walk, and a REALLY good spot for a refreshment ;) just sitting there at a table is a great experience. TIP: don't go there on a windy day! You're on the open water.

The Corby Park Rose Garden. An absolute gorgeous peaceful little park in the midst of our neighbourhood, only a couple blocks away! A must-see hidden gem. Relax to the sound of a beautiful stone fountain in the midst of the floral lined walkways and beds. This is a great park to either walk through, sit and relax, or to sit and enjoy a morning coffee and read a book. To see it at it's best in full bloomed action, it's best to visit from June-Fall each year. Though still super peaceful when out of bloom!
