Extremely disappointing experience. We waited over an hour just to receive our mains, which is unacceptable. Oysters were sold out at 6:45, I understand it was the day after Valentine's Day, but sold out during early dinner time is unacceptable.
The food was even worse. The scallop risotto had fried garlic on top that tasted very bitter & clearly burnt, completely overpowering the dish. It honestly tasted bad enough that it shouldn't have been served. There's not even one apology from restaurant. The mussels were overcooked & rubbery, & the fries were soggy & limp. Everything looked & tasted like leftovers that had been reheated.
Long wait, poor quality food, & no attention to detail. Definitely not worth the time or money. Would not return.

Superbe accueil & service impeccable. Mention pour la serveuse qui était très souriante & sympathique.
La poutine au homard était très bonne ainsi que que le demi homard accompagné de bons légumes.
Pour ma part, la tarte au citron déconstruite était parfaite comme dessert.
Une belle expérience, merci !
