The food was delicious! The oysters were fresh, all available varieties were from PEI. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food and great service. It's a big space with plenty of seating. They also have space for private events, offer a kids menu and have a patio. Would definitely recommend and return.

A cute local find that offers a fantastic variety of seafood that was cooked wonderfully. There was 4 of us dining in, ready and eager to fill our empty hungry stomachs. We started off with two dozen oysters of assorted varieties and their lobster and seafood chowder. I have to say, if you gave us a pot of this soup with a full size baguette, we still would have walked out of there happy. Our main dishes consisted of the mix grill, fish tacos, lobster ravioli and the spicy tomato steamed mussels. The table got very quiet, very quickly...it was delicious! The only item on one plate that was less than desirable was a small piece of fish that didn't quite appeal to anyone's pallette. Not sure what kind it was but it was definitely NOT the salmon because the salmon was great. Let's talk service. Sadly this is where the restaurant fell short. By the time we received our meals, we were the only ones in the restaurant. Granted it was a Sunday evening but given the circumstances, we could not quite understand why we had to flag down the waiter every time we needed something. He was friendly and polite. He was accurate and impressive with his ordering skills but just wasn't attentive. The restaurant itself was simple and comfortable. Well lit, linen tablecloths and very clean... EXCEPT the woman's restroom. The floor was wet with discolored liquid due to a leak in the ceiling. Not sure how recent this was but definitely something that needs addressing. Thankfully I went after my meal and not before or during. Overall, the food will definitely bring us back and hopefully the minor issues are improved.

I came here with my parents for dinner; we got raspberry point oysters, seafood linguini, lobster fettuccine, and seafood mix grill. The food was high quality and came in generous portions. Staff were friendly and prompt, and the lower rooftop patio was very clean and enjoyable to spend time in. This my new favourite seafood restaurant in the area!

This place is amazing but the food needs to improve. The PEI mussel was to dry and tiny. The seafood mix grill everything was way over cooked.

Great resturant, fresh oysters and big food portions. They can give you a sample of soup or drink for you to try before ordering which was great.Amazing food and very tasty. Quiet during the day and becomes lively in the evening as the restaurant turns i to night club during weekend. Would definitely go back there.
