Anytime I have passed this place I have never really seen anyone inside dining, perhaps there is a key time to go there? or well to have gone there

According to the lawsuit, the strata felt the restaurant would "harm the image" of the building and would decrease property values.

The strata was also allegedly concerned about increased litter and odours associated with a fish-and-chips restaurant.

L&H alleges in the suit that Moby Dick proposed numerous sign changes and renovations, but that the strata council turned down anything resembling the restaurant's original logo, insisting on something "'minimalist' both in colour and design."
