| - im always on the look out, for the latest and greatest seafood establishment, going to halifax was one of the greatest trips of my life. i heard about this business through a contractor at work, who actually helped do the plumbing for this restaurant, so patiently i waited and waited and waited till it was open. upon it opening i told my significant other about the place and planned a "date" to go in. before even stepping into the restaurant, i wanted to see what was on the menu, i was a bit taken back by the prices not being "open and available" on the website. seeing where this is in the "downtown" core i was a little worried that the pricing was going to be above and beyond.
enter date night
very, very easy to restaurant to get to via transit and minimal walking from the "subway u bend" very clean(brand new, goes without saying, but has to be said) very open, and very bright. there is a few stools, where people can eat and watch passerby's on queen st, with other tabled seating and booth seating towards the back of the restaurant, we went up to order, we were greeted by very VERY friendly staff, which was not only warm and welcoming, but not very common for this area of Toronto. after seeing the menu online, i knew what i wanted and placed my order. the bill was a tad bit on the steep side *up-front* we were told that due to the size of the order, and how everything works, it would be about a ten minute wait to cook the food, as they cook the food made to order.
the waiting went by pretty quick as we were entertained by a t.v. at our booth, not that there is a TV at every booth, we picked the booth with the t.v.
the food got to the table and the smells that hit your nose was not over-bearing but a gentle seafood scent, which is nice if your turned off by the harder fish scents.
the seafood was great, very fresh and complimented well with sauces and seasonings i was completely happy with everything that was seafood related. my S/O had an issue with the batter overpowering the actual fish and fish flavors. the only dessert menu option was very very good, pretty happy with choosing that, would like to see more dessert options in the future.
a couple of weird points, the fries are unseasoned, and thin like McDonald's fries, throw some salt of it, any sauce that they give you, that is free, is literally less then a shot worth of sauce, and lastly, the "white sauce" on the don-air poutine doesn't compliment the meat or the poutine, i would recommend the poutine without it...if it is an option.
i cant stress this enough, the staff is super friendly and warm, the seafood is great and balanced, and everything is super clean.
as others have said, i would come back: for the seafood only
