| - First things first - best calamari ever. If you go out for a meal and don't order the calamari, you are seriously missing out on some scrumptious fried delicacies!
Snug is quite romantic - it sits right on Lakeshore and has a nice view of the harbour, lighthouse and the lovely stretch; beautiful during summers and quite lovely on a nice winter night as well. The restaurant itself is quite spacious, but the dim lighting during dinner makes the ambience intimate and rather cozy. This is really the perfect spot for a romantic dinner in Mississauga. They used to have live music on certain days - I am unsure if they still do that.
I was here on a group date, so we were able to try quite a few numbers off the menu. I am excited to share my opinions:
Starters:
Calamari - BEST EVER. Try it to buy what I am saying here.
Bruschetta - Ooey gooey cheesy nom nom. So good that I am left slightly speechless.
Vegetable Spring Rolls - Skippable. Infact, I recommend skipping this one.
Fish & Seafood:
Seafood Bouillabaisse - If you cannot pronounce this, don't try it to experiment. Chances are you'll be disappointed. I didn't order it, but two of my friends did, and well, it didn't look appetizing. They reviewed it pretty bland.
Fish & Chips - Huge platter. Order 1 fish if you're not sharing. I wouldn't recommend the order because this is a tad worse than fish n chips at cheaper places. The crust wasn't crispy and the haddock was too flaky. Shame that I couldn't quite use my fork or knife on it because it kept breaking; in the end, I had to use my hand, at a fine dining restaurant. Imagine my horror. This is a big skip. I really recommend skipping.
Pasta:
One of my friends ordered a custom pasta and she says it was delicious. Look quite delish too.
Verdict? I am totally coming back for appetizers and drinks with friends. Or an intimate evening with my boyfriend. I am primarily coming back for the calamari. This place is on the pricier side and dining here for sub-par dinner might not make sense. If I ever do, that plate of calamari is going to be my din-din.
