| - Came here on a Thursday night, it was pretty empty when we first came in at 6, but around 7:30 when we left, more than half the restaurant was filled. The seating is very spacious and the atmosphere was modern.
Near the back there was an oyster bar, a mountain of oysters on ice with labels indicating which oysters they were.
We tried 5 different oysters. I went to the oyster bar to look at the oysters, and one of the ladies there was very knowledgeable to explain which oyster is popular and to find ones that fitted my taste.
Got the malpeque, French kiss, raspberry point, fanny Bay and kusshi. I enjoyed the west coast ones much more as they were creamier and had more flavour. The PEI oysters were light on flavour.
I also got a live sea scallop which was very good! It was still moving when it was brought to our table. It was so fresh with a squeeze of lemon.
We also got a Diana's seafood paella. It was quite a large portion with many clams, mussels when first seeing the dish. There were 3 pieces of tiger shrimp, 2 crawfish, assorted fish within the mix, and Chirizo. The rice was blended with all the sauce and seafood, and every bite was very tasty. The mussels and clams were really fresh, and did not have any sand.
The complementary bread was really good with olive oil and balsamic vinegar as a dip! We had to order seconds!
I asked the waiter and oysters come in daily, and they have different assortments everyday.
The oysters can be pretty pricey since they are sold per piece and not by the dozen or half dozen.
Can't wait to come back!
