Honestly for the price the seafood plate wasn't really worth it. The seafood place was good. The best were the pétoncles we ordered more of those because they were amaaaazing. The cookie & ice cream dessert were also super good.

Food was delicious. Ordered the burger salmon tartare & the 40oz steak. It was seared on the outside just the way I like it. A couple unusual things however: the steak came pre cut & it was very chewy unlike any quality primerib I've ever had. I asked if there was a mixup with the cut but they assured me there wasn't.

Service started amazing by a young man who was very knowledgeable & provided great recommendations,then our server disappeared & all of a sudden we had various people looking after us.

Terribly overpriced food. I paid 750$ for 4 persons. I ordered for myself 3 sashimi appetizers & grilled octopus. Everything was covered in way too much sauce, making it difficult to actually taste the food.

The sashimi came in thin slices covered with an excessive amount of mayonnaise-based sauce, completely overpowering the fish. The grilled octopus was soaked in a very sweet red sauce that overwhelmed its natural flavour.

For the price, I expected much better quality & preparation. Very disappointing.

Honestly out of all the times that I have been there, I was really disappointed with yesterday's service. We were a table of 4 & my gf & I got 2 appetizers to share. We still had food on our plates when the busser of the table picked up my plate & cutlery without even asking if I was done. I let it slide honestly but then It set me off when they went to pick up my gf's plate & cutlery when she literally had the fork in her hand while she was still eating. The busser realized & sort of stood over her to hurry up & finish. Honestly this ruined our experience because we were given 2 hrs to eat & we were out of there way before. I think it would be nice to ask the clients if were done eating & not just pick up our plates. It was a Thursday night & it was not busy.

Asked the waitress to change my meal 5 mins after ordering my food & she told me she was to busy to change it i will have to deal with whatever i ordered. Waited 30 minutes on our table after we made reservations earlier in the day. & about 1 hr & 45 minutes for our food to arrive. We also waited 1 hour for our drinks & i ordered a ginger ale. Waitress had terrible service & food recommendation. The restaurant atmosphere was great just terrible waitress
