| - We had a lovely table for a large group of 9. We all sat comfortably, while being able to all speak to each other. The noise level was on the higher side, so we felt comfortable in being loud. Though I wouldn't say this restaurant is suitable for an intimate dinner. That being said, we were seated in the first room of the restaurant, and I can't comment on how the inner room's environment is.
We ordered 2 dozens of the mixed oyster platter, which had 3 types of oysters. I'm not an avid oyster eater, so I can't recall the names of those types. As my second time eating oysters in my life, I really enjoyed them.
Additionally we each ordered individual dishes. I'll do a run down of the other dishes we ordered as a group:
- Mussels. A few of us ordered the mussels dish because it was the most inexpensive main dish at $19. A good portion, tasted good. The broth was on the salty side, but had good flavour.
- Grilled calamari salad. I'm not a fan. The calamari was very rubbery and barely grilled. The salad didn't taste good at all.
- Crab chowder soup. We were all surprised when the soup came in a red colour. We were expecting it to look white. It was decent, again on the salty side, but that just might be my preference. For the portion and taste, it wasn't worth the $10.
- Fries. These came as a side for 4 dishes that were ordered, but they brought them to us in 2 big plates for us all to share, without us even requesting it. The odd thing about the fries (and rather gross I'd have to add) is that the dipping "sauce" they served with them was nothing but ... butter.
- Baked oyster in bechamel sauce. This is what I personally ordered, and it came off of the Small Dish menu. 5 oysters for $14. They were absolutely heaven. I would definitely want to eat more of these baked oysters.
- Sticky toffee pudding. A whopping order of 5 of these were served to our table as we were recommended to try out the best toffee pudding in town. It was more of a cake than a pudding. Warm, moist, soaking in sweet sauces, it was definitely well-recommended. I almost never order dessert when I eat out because usually they are too sweet for my liking. I approve of this one.
