| - As the rating describes, it was just OK (I would probably give it 2.5 stars if I could). I didn't think it was that special. If anything, it was a little overrated. The only items that were worth it (in my opinion) were the lobster bisque and the oysters. I went with my boyfriend on a Tuesday.
The food:
We ordered an assortment of oysters, the lobster bisque and grilled calamari to start. The oysters were very fresh, presentation is good, and there's an assortment of sauces. The lobster bisque was nice and creamy with chunks of lobster in it. As for the calamari, it was meh. I've had better in many other places for around the same price ($13).
Moving onto the main course, we had the catch of the day (Arctic Char) and the salmon. Again, it was meh. I liked the fact that the skin of the fish was crispy, the presentation was good and it was pretty fresh. Other than that, I've had better elsewhere (in terms of freshness, presentation and taste). I didn't think it was anything special.
Onto the service:
When we arrived, it was a Tuesday, wasn't too busy so we were seated immediately. We were also served rather quickly so that was good. I was actually impressed. Our drinks and appetizers came quickly and our entrees came soon after we finished our appetizers.
However, when my boyfriend decided that he wanted to order more oysters after our entrees arrived. It seemed as though after they dropped off the entrees we actually had to flag down out waitress to place another order (and by that time, a lot of the other tables had left so she shouldn't have been as busy as she was when we first arrived). When he finally placed our order for oysters, it took much longer than it did the first time.
When we finally finished our food, we once again had to flag down the waitress so we can get our bill. It took a little while to locate her and then for her to bring the bill. Finally, when she brought the bill, it was just dropped off and we assumed she'd come back in a few minutes to check on us/bring a machine or see if we needed changed. But in fact, we had to wait like 10 minutes. From the time we were ready for our bill to the time we actually left the place, it took almost 30 minutes.
Finally onto the ambiance:
The restaurant itself looked better than I expected. However, it was very loud, especially given the fact that it wasn't even that busy. There were maybe 7 tables each with 2-4 customers. Perhaps it was the fact that the room was small and partially because of the people that were there that night but I was hoping that the place would be a little quieter.
The verdict:
So my verdict is this, I would return for the oysters and maybe try other appetizers but probably not the entrees since I can get something better elsewhere for the same price.
