| - I could just give three stars at most. Didn't feel like it live up to the hype of all the good reviews on yelp. Our family on a trip to Toronto. I searched and found this seafood restaurant and saw the pictures of all the amazing dishes. Walked in on Tue night which they have the "seafood circus" special and Yes, every table was getting at least one. We ordered one as well. Very disappointed! It didn't look like those pictures I saw on yelp. They served on two tiers. Top: 4 cocktail shrimp.m, 2 snow crab legs, and a few cured fish filet (i think it tasted like smoked tuna), and a whole bunch of teeny tiny mussels on two teeny ting shells, all cramped and piled up together!! How ridiculous!! There was no way to tell if the mussels even fresh which usually it sticks on its shells for serving!! It is smoked flavor! In my opinion, seafood should always served fresh. If you add flavor and processed, it's not fresh!! The bottom tier got 12 small oysters which is yes, small again! And not a single bit of fresh water taste!!! The fresh shredded horseradish doesn't have horseradish taste!! It means it was sitting there for a long time before serving!!! BIG disappointment!! The other two dishes we ordered were equally unimpressed!! Snd also did not look like anything that the other posted on yelp! What happened?? I realized those pix was about a year ago but it is making me think if it is the reason the restaurant cutting cost or have they changed to new chefs or new management, etc? The server we had, not the best. In fact I found her rude at times. Not much smile. Not attentive. When asked to get water and a new set of cutlery, with no face expression so I wasn't sure if she heard, and asked again politely, but she was kind of impatient and said "I will! Just wait a minute!" I am not being picky. I just felt she doesn't enjoy much dealing with customers, may be? Anyway, I tried this rated 4.5 seafood restaurant and don't think i will recommend to anyone. I have much better seafood in Boston, Seattle, CA and Vancouver. No luck in Toronto.
