I've been here before when it was Rodney's and I recently came here for an early supper with some colleagues but found that I wasn't as impressed with the food this time around.
The place always seems to have a friendly, unpretentious vibe and the service was great. The wait staff were very friendly, always checking to make sure we were happy with the food, to see if we were good for drinks, explaining our dishes and all the different accoutrements.
We ordered a bit of everything so I'll keep the food portion of this review short and to the point:
1. Lobster Roll (Hand pulled warm lobster, lobster bisque,tatsoi green)
- Small, but chunky lobster meat seemed to have gotten muddied by the lobster bisque which I found to be rather bland and you couldn't really taste the lobster. 2/5
2. Lobster Poutine (Claw and tail meat, lobster bechamel, Yukon gold frites, Bromont white cheddar cheese curd).
- The little lobster meat was cut very small and there was a scare amount, the bechamel had no depth of flavor (couldn't even tell it was made from lobster stock), the cheese curds were unproportionally added to the amount fries, and the fries themselves were rather oily. 2/5.
3. Calamari (Grilled calamari, montanini olives, tomato and
garlic cont, rapini)
- cooked and seasoned really well, and very tender. 4/5
4. Black Bass Ceviche
- fish was very fresh but lacked brightness, and acidity. 3/5
5. Oysters Rockefeller
- I think I'm going to skip eating baked oysters from now on. Maybe it's just me but I find that baking them changes the texture and flavor in a bad way. 3/5
6. Half shell Oysters (Low tide local, acadian gold, green cable, glacier bay, pemiquid, kumomoto, wellfleet)
- The oysters were fantastic, fresh, served at a good temperature, and highlighted nicely by the condiments. 5/5
Overall, food wasn't spectacular for the price and I don't think I would order any of their hot food if I were to revisit.
