All 4 of us were disappointed: no creativity & poor execution. The clam chowder was watery & bland & contained more shrimp than clams. The fish was overcooked & therefore, dry. The Homard Thermidor was overly salty & contained no cheese that we could taste, mostly just breading. The lemon pie was the only saving grace as it was nice & tart, very difficult to find in this city. Service was friendly but they must be suffering from a shortage of staff as we had to hail the waiter a couple of times to order a few extras even though the restaurant was not operating at full capacity. It is a beautiful place.View more

A great spot for quality food. We got their burger, lobster poutine, a whole lobster, & the seared scallops. Everything tasted top notch. The best tasting thing we had was the lobster poutine. The scallops were also delicious but I would have to say the portion size was definitely on the smaller side.View more

Oysters on half-shells from New Brunswick. Not as tasty as the ones I had from SEI (St Edward Island). I would rate them 7 compared to 10 from SEI.View more

Went for diner with a group of friends. The food is slightly overpriced for what it is. I understand the markup on seafood & because its in Montreal's most touristy neighbourhood; however 30$ for a burger & 20$ for a green salad seems excessive. So stick to the seafood! It's called Lobster bar for a reason. The scallops were the highlight from what we tried, the grilled lobster was tasty but a bit dry. The risotto was great, well seasoned & comforting in cold weather. My friend having the ravioli was a bit disappointed with the portion size, so if you go for that pair it with a larger starter or dessert. Service was quick & our waiter was kind & polite. The atmosphere was a bit crowded & lighting a bit too neon bright for my liking. Conversations resonated a lot. Overall amongst the better part of Old Port restaurants but don't expect to be blown away.View more

Si vous allez dans le vieux Montréal vous pouvez sans hésiter réserver une bonne table à La Pincette le homard & le crabe des neiges y sont rois ! Mais il y a d'autres plats à la carte. Avec les conseils précieux d'Eloise, notre serveuse nous avons eu des conseils précieux sur les cocktails comme sur les plats autour du homard & sur une mousse chocolat à partager pour finiView more

Food is good (a little expensive, but expected for the area); so is the ambient, location & wine list. Just hope you don’t need to rely on the italian host for anything, as he turned our night into a nightmare, leaving a sour aftertaste of the experience. Having reservations, he prioritized walk-ins ahead of us, left us waiting for 2h & shared incorrect information with the waitresses, as if there was something personal against us, celebrating a baptism. Very unfortunate!View more
