| - I have lived in the Meadowvale area for 6 years and using the GO station for almost two years - but had no clue such a place existed so close to me.
While looking for good seafood in Mississauga came across this restaurant that is right next to the GO station and close to my home - and read the reviews. Decided to give it a shot despite the rather interesting location for a fish and seafood place. Went there on a Friday night with my gf.
Was very pleased with the experience! Place was packed so having a reservation was a good idea. The place did empty out though around 9PM so reservation needed only if you go before that time.
Service was excellent - fastest service I had in a while, very polite. Started with the deep fried calamari and then we went with our mains - I went with the pecan crusted Northern Ontario rainbow trout, and my gf went with the Icelandic Actic Char filet.
The calamari was disappointing. $9 for a tiny little plate. Could tell that the calamari was made in larger portions and simply kept warm before serving. Kinda soggy, not crispy at all. The spicy mayo was nice though.
Despite the calamari disappointment, the fish was excellent. Both fishes really well made, not overcooked so the flavour was still there. Nice sauces to go with them, not too overpowering so could still taste the fish (this is big for me, as sometimes restaurants use so much sauce that you cannot feel the original fish taste). Solid side of sweet potato fries and veggies. Truly filled me up. Did not even get a chance to have dessert as the main was so good.
The place is far from perfect. It has a dining room that is rather average looking but cozy and tables far apart to have private conversations. There is a lounge next door with drinks and TVs but did not go in there. The drinks list is OK with some decent wines and cocktails.
I give it a 5 start but I wish I could do 4 and a half because it has some small problems. The experience was excellent hence pushed it to 5.
Positives: some of the best fish I had in while. Very fast courteous service and very prompt. Despite being in a packed place the food arrived relatively fast so didn't feel like I had to wait for hours. Nice vibe, nice crowd.
Negatives: calamari was soggy and made a while back. Portion was tiny for $9. The prices are not too friendly, as most fish is $20 give or take and the pasta/seafood starts at $17. Throw some wine with this and a dinner for two can push towards $100 with taxes, tip and everything. These are more downtown prices rather than your local Mississauga establishment.
Despite the negatives, I still give this place 5 stars because at the end of the day had a wonderful time.
