The restaurant is beautiful, the ambiance is charming & the staff is professional.
The three entrées that we ordered were excellent. The oysters were so fresh & very well cleaned, the crab salad was delicious & an excellent twist on the fried calamaris, delicious (4 people shared the 3 entrées).
For the main meal, we ordered the lobster roll & the croque monsieur. I found the losbter roll bread a bit dry but the next day, the leftover was better, because the bread had sucked up the moisture from the lobster filling. As for the croque monsieur, it was delicious but a bit heavy, & super filling.
Overall we had a wonderful time, & we will return to try more dishes.

Bonjour, depuis leurs ouverture nous allons à ce restaurant. Je peux comprendre que le cost food a vraiment augmenté. Mais il y a des limites. Exemple l'entrée de calmars avant c'était une belle assiette de calmars & juste des calmars aujourd'hui c'est salade de choux aux calmars. Plus grand calmars dans l'assiette les calmars sont moux au lieu d'être croustillant un bon calmars brut sans sauce c'est plus possible. Hamburger la boulette est rendu mince comme c'est pas possible beaucoup salade & tomates pour confler l'apparence. Onglet boeuf vraiment miniature peut 6oz l'assiette de pâte presque vide. C'est temps des huîtres le prix est astronomique à 5 minutes du restaurant vous un restaurant fruits les huîtres sont à 1$ ouverte & préparer vous à l'année. Malheureusement c'était la dernière fois à ce restaurant.
Merci

We came here on a Friday night, so it was quite busy. Our server was very friendly, but the service was quite slow. It was very busy so I will give them that, but it was over an hour for us to get our main dishes. I would likely return on a weekday to experience it when it is less busy. The food was good, the drinks were excellent. Overall, we had a good time.

❌Ne pas prendre la bisque de homard: on dirait la sauce brune de chez St-Hubert.

✅Le crabe, la salade, les huitres, mioum!
