| - My boyfriend and I were wandering around Port Credit looking for a place to have a late lunch/early dinner. He had been to Snug Harbour before and enjoyed it so we decided to stop by and enjoy the view.
Let me start by saying that my boyfriend is not much of a foodie nor is he really picky. I'm not picky but I like good food and I'm willing to pay for it.
Snug Harbour is in a lovely spot right in Port Credit on the water. They have plenty of tables outside so you can watch the boats go by. It is a fairly casual spot but there were a few people there in the evening that were dressed to go out. I do believe they offer live music some nights at this place.
Now on to the food. The menu was your typical seafood and casual fare. Lots of calamari, shrimp, mussels, various fish dishes and stuff for the non seafood lovers like steak , burgers and pizza.
We started with an order of Buffalo Shrimp which were not bad but as usual didn't really taste like shrimp. They were dusted with a spiced flour mixture then fried and served with a lemon mayo. For our mains I had the Keoni Island salmon which was a fresh Salmon fillet marinated in soy sauce, port wine, brown sugar and crushed garlic. Coated with toasted sesame seeds and then char-grilled. It was served with some rather boring roast potatoes and the obligatory carrots. The fish wasn't bad but the accompaniments were pitiful. My boyfriend ordered the Lobster Macaroni which had Cuban Lobster Tail with macaroni, aged old cheddar, white wine and roasted tomatoes. This wasn't bad and the portion size was good. I'm not sure it was worth $23.50 but it wasn't bad.
When it came time for dessert the server brought over a plate that had a piece of every dessert they offered. I thought at one point my boyfriend was going to tackle the poor girl and take off with the plate but he controlled himself. They had a pretty good selection that included key lime cheesecake, marble cheesecake, apple cinnamon cheesecake, brownies, chocolate fudge cake, chocolate mouse cake and pecan pie. I opted for the apple cinnamon cheesecake and my better half settled on pecan pie. Both were okay. I ended up giving most of mine to my boyfriend.
When all was said and done the bill was over a $100. That included a glass of wine and a beer. A little overpriced in my books but at the end of the day you're paying for the view.
