| - I would really really like to give this place more than 2 stars.
The location is great and I'd love for this to be our go-to restaurant before a show - avoiding overpriced and terrible ribs served a few steps away from there. Perfect spot for after work drinks with groups or a quick eat before a hockey game - I wouldn't say it's a date-night restaurant.
Although my evening started off with a great note, perfect greeting and awesome recos for beer choices by our waiter, the rest was quite a bummer. I ordered the mussels from their vast and appealing menu, thinking this would be a sure bet.
But the mussels were not cooked enough. Some were still fishy, too soft, and many had not had time to open. I also believe that the loads of garlic and onions that were thrown in there were raw. Raw garlic and onions, really? Basically, the entire thing just wasn't cooked!
Moreover, service quickly became overwhelmed and disorganized, and we just lost our server...
I will say I appreciated that they did not charge me for the mussels I did not eat, and the rest of the dishes looked delish - burgers, salads, poutines... So I will probably be giving this place a second chance, but I definitely won't be ordering mussels !!
