Amazing experience! The food was delicious, fresh, & full of flavor. The service was friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. Definitely a place I'd recommend & can't wait to come back !
My friend & I shared their holiday bucket & it was delicious! Definitely enough food for 2 & like no leftovers. Got their signature sauce (medium) which was also tasty! Not really spicy but still nicely flavorful.
The food was absolutely delicious! It's really fun to wear a loster bib, put on gloves & eat with your hands. Don't worry about making a mess. Just enjoy the flavorful food.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The dishes were incredibly delicious & full of flavor. Our server, Majdouline, was exceptional; she was friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was perfect. I'll definitely be coming back & highly recommend this place to everyone
Really confused at first because I walked in at the counter with two workers just talking to each other & no greeting or acknowledge if my presence. This happened for a good minute until the one girl who was taking care of all the tables came & finally greeted me. Normally I would've left but it was raining & I wanted fried seafood. Then as the service went on I saw they were kind of trading turns working... it was interesting. It got so busy at one point that they all had to work at work... wild huh haha. Anyway, the food, the food was pretty good. It looked beautiful (check the pics) it was honestly like the most healthy tasting fried seafood I've ever had. The shrimps & chips were so crunchy (deliciously so) & they just had a not so salty nor greasy look, feel, & taste about them. I got the large portion & couldn't finish it all so took it to go. Also had sauces on the side like Heinz ketchup hot sauce, & two other dipping sauces. None were very salty nor flavorful to me strangely. Though I'm s fan of intense flavors & excellent service, I would overall recommend a visit to this place. It's like a healthy fried seafood or book spot. & prices aren't ridiculous. The meal cost me CAD$24 - CAD$34 after tax & tips & could've fed 2.
Absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The staff was incredibly attentive & knowledgeable, guiding us through a menu filled with fresh & exquisite seafood options. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor & beautifully presented. The oysters were the freshest we've ever had, & the lobster was cooked to perfection. To top it off, the dessert was divine. This restaurant is a must-visit for any seafood lover. We can't wait to return!

Had a dinner here for a friend's birthday, & I will start with the positive. The food was very tasty, everything I tried, even items I never ordered but received instead of what I did, had great flavors, & were cooked very well. The negatives, the service was just terrible, I am hoping it is just due to the lack of understanding the menu & that maybe this is a newer location, but it was bad. Had to ask multiple times for drinks, had to ask multiple times about plates not arriving, some of our dishes never even showed up. I would give this spot a second chance for sure based solely on the food being delicious & that I love the concept of it. But if service is the same, I think Franchise Management needs to step in.
