| - I would give it 3.5 stars but Yelp doesn't allow for half a star.
We went for a weekend lunch with another couple. The lunch specials didn't look too appealing to me so we went with the regular menu.
Apps: I had the Manhattan clam chowder (tomato based broth with veggies) while hubby had the regular Diana's clam chowder (cream based). They were $8 each. We were quite disappointed with the chowders; the Manhattan chowder tasted much like an over priced vegetable soup, not too clammy at all. The cream chowder was lukewarm and mostly potatoes, and not clammy either. We deninitely felt ripped off with the chowders.
We also had some fresh Oysters to share.
Oysters were really fresh and there were quite a selection to choose from. They are sold as each (range from $1.8 to $4 each), no discount for bulk so the bill does add up fast if you wanna eat a lot of Oysters.
The server said on Mon and Thu, they have an oyster discount where you can get a dozen for $15 or $20 depends on the oysters.
Entrees:
1) Lobster and shrimp tagliatelle ($28): delicious rich sauce and generous amount of lobster chunks (mostly claw meats though) and shrimps. Will get this again if I come back here. This was the best choice of entree IMO.
2) Pan seared scallop risotto ($32): only came with 3 scallops, would expect more seafood at that price. Risotto was on the salty side and I didn't like the green peas embedded in it, the peas didn't go with the seafood at all. I would not recommend this at all; pick a different entree.
3) Catch of the day: pan seared BC snapper with potatoes and veggies ($25). Fish was freshly delicious.
4) Wild Halibut fish & chips with home cut fries, coleslaw, and tarta sauce ($25). It was okay, nothing to rave about. They were very stingy with the tarta sauce for a $25 entree.
Overall, I think this restaurant is over hyped. Food quality is good, however, I can't justify the price. Unsure if we will return
