| - More of a 3.5, not yet a 4. Had dinner with my relative on a Friday evening. Made reservations and requested to be near the window, which they accomodated. My relative was surprised about the nice table she got, not knowing I had already requested it. lol.
We ordered the following:
FOOD
- Seafood Tower (regular market price, about $60-65) which consists of the top layer (crab legs, mussels, tuna) and bottom layer (oysters, I believe half fanny bay and half malpeques). I have to say, I was not won over by the Seafood Tower. If I had to order again, I would likely just do oysters only. They were very fresh and would definitely recommend. I was okay with the crab and tuna but the mussels tasted a bit rubbery to me. Did not enjoy them too much.
- Pearly chowder (small plate $8.00) with double smoked bacon, potatoes,and clams was good and filling. I liked that it was creamy and smooth.
DRINK
- The mojito was not to my liking, which was surprising but I think the ratio of mint and rum was just off. Not sure, but it just tasted off to me. For the price, I was disappointed. I think its a bit cheaper than the shirmp cocktail ($16) but I probably should have ordered that instead.
SERVICE
- Good, cleared table off promptly and refilled water. Did not take long to come back and get any additional orders in.
Overall, would I come back? I think so but I dont know if I would do any big outtings or celebrations here as I just had an okay-good experience but not a great one. Also, place is quite small so its challenging if you are thinking of booking big groups. They might be able to accomodate if you book ahead to either put tables together near front of resto or get one of the long tables with high chairs in the middle of the resto.
Also note, bathrooms are down a steep flight of stairs in case mobility is an issue. Not on same floor.
