Le service était ok, sans plus. C'était assez occupé mais pas pour justifier certains délais/oublis
Le gravlax n'était pas du saumon de la plus grande qualité
La pieuvre, un peu trop cuite. Tout ça est un peu décevant pour un resto spécialisé en fruits de mer!

Un beau resto mais pas une excellente expérience pour ce que ce c'est.

Une assommante, abrutissante & irritante musique anglophone pendant toute la durée d'un repas au restaurant, en plein rue, Saint-Denis, c'est insupportable. Jamais plus !

J'ai choisi comme plat principal les moules marinières. Le plat de moules était tout à fait correct mais en revanche les frites laissaient à désirer (trop graisseuses).

Le dessert aux bleuets était excellent.

Les plats sont délicieux & clairement préparés avec soin.

Les huitres aussi.
Seul point qui pourrait évoluer: la carte des vins/alcool mériterait plus de sélection (surtout pour les rouges au verre).

Je recommande les tagliatelles au homard ! UN DÉLICE !
