  • BOTTOM LINE: A solid seafood oriented restaurant with some creative dishes (the wild salmon tartare is a MUST order!), but I couldn't help but feel a bit underwhelmed both in portion and flavour with some of their other servings. I'll come back in a few months to see how it is, but I'm not in any particular rush. Cost: -Appetizers $4-9, and mains $8-14. Atmosphere/Decor: -As another reviewer put it, it's like a dimly lit fisherman's shack canvassed with massive harbour photos and accompanied with a variety of seating arrangements from small tables for two, to a booth for four, to a bench for six. -The aesthetics works well, but is cheapened by the bland tiled floor and really garish walk-in mat/rug. -Your favourite indie rock bands playing in the background at, perhaps, just a touch too loudly. Ordered: -The menu rotates frequently according to what's in season, so it's worth coming back from time to time to see what's new. 1. Wild salmon tartare with nori, pollen and tobiko - Easily the highlight of the night, and not hard to understand why they keep this on the menu and rotate everything else! Fresh salmon with a hint of licorice flavour that you wrapped in seaweed sheets yourself. The provided pollen was akin to a *very* strong horseradish / wasabi. 2. Wax bean and grilled calamari salad - Pretty underwhelming with very few greens and even less calamari (which tasted fresh, but much too salty). 3. Trout with baby heirloom carrots and chard veloute - Granted I don't have trout all the time, but it just tasted rather bland, and the texture was a bit soft. Also, the sauce didn't seem to add or enhance the flavour of the trout. 4. Scallops and duck chorizo with huitlacoche, red wine, and nibs - I love scallops, so no surprise I found this dish delicious! The scallops were fresh and meaty, and the duck chorizo paired well. My issue, again, came down to quantity: four scallops and a spoonful of chorizo for $13?! I'm certainly happy to pay for quality, but there seemed to a be a disconnect here. Service: -I found our staff very friendly and approachable. -Perhaps by design, OR the fact that since we were sharing each dish they accommodated by bringing only one out at a time, OR we were hungrier than expected, but the wait seemed quite lengthy between dishes.
