| - I live 10 minutes away from this restaurant, yet have only discovered it recently. Mississauga has a a fairly small list of unique restaurants or places that are really enjoyable (I, of course, am excluding franchises and chain-restos, i.e The Keg, Ruth's Chris, Moxie's, Baton Rouge, etc. as these you can find anywhere.), but I find Lake Shore Mississauga has some fun ones I'm looking forward to trying.
Snug Harbour was a recommendation from Ryann O. as I had been going on an Oyster binge that week, and was craving them daily. I didn't know of any oyster bars in Mississauga. He recommended this one.
The oysters that day were SO good and definitely satisfied my craving. They only had one kind though. I forgot the name. Started with an "M....". Regardless, they were yummy, medium bodied. Alongside, they offered lemon (as many as requested) and home-made seafood sauce. Meh. Not too happy with the sauce. It was clumpy.
Luckily for us, entres that week were half-priced being that it was Winterlicious season! I got the lobster tail dinner, my friend got salmon, and another got lobster mac-and-cheese.
The lobster tail was decent. Steamed, offered with butter, nothing too special. I enjoyed the side veggies though. LOVE the sauteed zucchini's. My friend's salmon was delish too. It was cooked in some sort of soy sauce glaze. Very tender and flavourful. The rice was good. Nothing special about the way it's cooked, but I have low standards when it comes to rice in seafood/non-Asian establishments anyway. The lobster mac was yummy as well. Huge portion. Definite doggy-bag.
Another time I had the garlic-butter shrimp and scallop. PASS! This dish was horrible. Lacked flavour, shrimps and scallops were overcooked. Bf had steak sammie. This was okay. Steak was a little dry.
For a sauga resto, this place isn't half bad. Id come again for the oysters and the mac, but that's probably it. If they upgraded their sides, I think I'd give it a 4.
It was the wintertime so I couldnt see too much of the lake or dock outside. From what I did see, it looked small and nothing to boast
about. lol. But the summertime is probably different.
