We had difficulty finding reservations for the upcoming Father's Day weekend. Called & they said they could squeeze us in at the oyster bar at 19:00. We walked over nearly a half hour early & were seated in their pleasant sidewalk outdoor area. Our waiter, Thomas was nice, efficient & accurate with his recommendations. My wife had fried calamari, not overcooked, light, crunchy crust, just the right amount for one person. I tried each of the 4 types of oysters offered that evening, simply with lemon & jalapeno sauce which I didn't use. My wife ordered a grilled lobster, well prepared & simple. I ordered sea bass with a reduction sauce, mushrooms, clams & asparagus. Fish was moist, not overcooked with crispy skin. Skipped dessert. Sorry, I ate the oysters before the photo.

Excellent repas & excellent service! Le poisson du moment, le Bar servit avec des asperges & petites palourdes était absolument délicieux! En dessert, le gâteau au fromage l'était tout autant.

Nous étions installés au bar à huîtres où nous avons eu l'immense bonheur de se faire servir le double plateau de fruit de mer "le joséphine" par Jason le propriétaire. C'est absolument extraordinaire. Ça inclus : - 3 sortes d'huîtres - Crevettes argentines - Grosse pince de homard (sans carapace!) - Palourdes - gravlax de saumon - tartare - tataki de thon rouge Comme repas principal, pappardelle aux canard confit & raviolis aux homard. Expérience gastronomique plus que parfaite. Je le recommande fortement ! p.s. Leur shooter signature : Vodka caviar 🤷🏻‍♂️🙂
