| - From the outside, La Commerce looks like a really beautiful and trendy looking spot in the old port. I've finally made a visit on an impromptu date night with my boyfriend. I went after work so I was already super hungry and excited to try their menu.
Good : The location and decor. It's very hip, definitely a place to be scene or have a 5 a 7. I also had a dozen oysters, which were really good! If you go between 5-7pm, it's $1 oyster special! They make a really good sauce, which goes perfectly with it.
Bad : The Scallop ceviche (with coconut milk and pink peppercorn) is probably the most bland thing I've ever had. I thought it would be a bit more creative, but nah, all you can taste is scallop with coconut milk. Very disappointing. We also had the tartar du moment as a main and it turns out the tartar du moment was the dull salmon. Much too creamy, lack seasoning, minimal flavor, among the most boring tartars I've ever had. For someone who came in hungry, you'd think I'd say everything was friggin delicious, but not right here.
Bottom Line : The food is just nothing special (I guess 'okay' by Pub standards, except the oysters were good), the atmosphere is nice. Overall, you can definitely spend your money elsewhere for better quality food.
