| - Getting closer when it comes to finding great seafood in Toronto.
After months of waiting and drooling over pictures from friends I finally get the chance to try this place out. I was however very skeptical b/c so far it has been very disappointing trying to find a seafood joint in Toronto, I went in with no expectations at all.
You walk in and see a glass case with lobster, crab, oyster and shrimp on a bed of ice. The other thing is the loud music, was really not a fan of that b/c I could barely hear my friend that was just sitting across from me. I would not recommend going on a first date here you will be yelling at the girl the whole time b/c the music is just that loud.
They have a good selection of hot and cold items and a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. A lot of people were ordering the lobster Caesar, not gonna lie it looked really good, but it's too bad I dislike Caesars. Was disappointed a bit b/c none of the jerk items were on the menu, the pictures my friends showed me looked amazing. However, I decided to get the lobster poutine, lobster roll and the seafood steam pot.
The lobster roll lived up to the hype, menu states "our famous lobster roll." That combination of the perfectly toasted bread and the cold chunks of lobster was very refreshing. The chips that came with the roll however was greasy.
The first bite of the poutine was very good, there was a hint of seasoning on the lobster that reminded me of fresh seafood from Virginia Beach, however it was only that one piece. Every piece of lobster after that was very bland the gravy, cheese curds and fries were good but not good enough to save the dish.
The seafood steam pot contained 1 pound of crab legs, 1/2 pound of mussels, sausage and clams,12 shrimps, corn and potatoes and 4 lobster tails all for $99. Was it worth it? Partially, I understand seafood is expensive so the price did not bother me, what bothered me was I got teased. The crab legs were so flavourful and had that hint of seasoning. But when I got to the lobster it was bland luckily there was butter to add the flavour. The sausage had a good kick of spice and the seafood sauce help add to the flavour of the shrimp which were pretty big but the clams and mussels were tiny.
Even though I got teased it gives me hope that this place does have the potential to be that seafood spot in Toronto.
Items to definitely get
- lobster Caesar (even though I didn't order it everyone else did and it looked good)
- lobster roll
- seafood steam pot (good for 2 people)
