On a voulu aller a ce restaurant pour la fête de ma mère, on a pris la peine de choisir un restaurant & de le réserver a 21h30. Lorsqu'on est arriver a 21h30, ils nous ont dit qu'il n'y avait pas de table libre pour l'instant & que cava seulement prendre 15 minutes pour une table. On est aller attendre ses 15 minutes dehors mais ça la virer qu'on a attendu 30 minutes il était déjà 22h05 quand on est retourné voir si il a des tables pourtant il savaient qu'on attendait dehors, il ont préféré passer d'autres personne avant nous dans notre face!! Ensuite arriver assise a la table on a directement commander nos boissons, peu après on a commander nos entrées de même que le plat principal pour avoir tout en même temps. On a du attendre 1h & plus pour avoir notre nourriture. En conclusion, mauvais restaurant que j'ai été a vie si vous voulez une bonne expérience de service, de nourriture je vius déconseille totalement le Seasalt. Ma soeur & moi avons trouver plusieursi bout de coquille de hommard dans notre tartare de Saumon. Plus jamais on va revenir, ca la été le pire anniversaire au restaurant a vie!!!
Comment on peut trouver une carcasse de Homard dans un tartare de SAUMON??
Ils nous ont rien donner comme boisson & rabais en rapport avecc le temps d'attente, le temps pour le service & simplement être reconnaissant… envers son client
Il avait des personne plus prioriser que nous..
Étant moi même Chef cuisinière & ayant une famille travaillant dans la restauration on sais ce qu'est un bon service, de la qualité & ce dont un client a besoin…
Une expérience a ne pas refaire

Great restaurant, eaten here often. For some reason, right now, Google says they're only open on Sunday. Their website says they're closed for winter amd see you in the spring. & when you call, it's answered by an AI assistant that says they're currently open at 11am. If you ask to speak to a real person, it says'ok ill transfer you' & then the line cuts.

Loved the service & the vibes. This is an ideal summer spot for anyone wandering Old Port & looking for a bite to eat. Good, fresh seafood is hard to come by in Montreal, but this place delivered.

Most amazing fish & chips & incredible shrimp tacos. Awesome waitress!

BUT SO MANY TINY MICE DARTING AROUND ON THE PATIO UNDER TABLES. We pointed them out to staff & were told it is happening to all of the restaurants there together …& that they are not allowed to trap or kill them without a fee. Ugh.

We came across this restaurant in September 2025 on our first night in Old Montreal. We ate outside on a beautiful evening close to closing time. The food was very good, the drinks were good, the service was very slow. The server was kind & polite, we just didn't see much of her once we received our food. We loved the food & view, so we would definitely go back.
