   This is one of my favorite seafood restaurant in Toronto. The food is amazing! We ordered a variety of appetizers from the warm mushroom confit salad, hamachi tuna tartar, mussels Provence, steak frite, seabream and their oyester platter. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner, you won’t be disappointed! Also, the staff is really excellent. The service was top-notch. Very attentive and just overall really good service. They also have one of the best patios in Toronto!

   The service from the greeter who explained the lay of the land (where the washrooms were) before sitting us down, gave us a nice booth without asking for it, to the waiter who shared his life experiences, to bar savant/manager with his guide on the bar spirits menu being offered - the staff was beyond next level friendly and they treated my wife an I like we were friends/regulars, they made us feel special. They were simply genuine and that's unique today in the big smoke. Oh of course, the food was awesome - very tasteful, well presented and more than generous portions.

   Very attentive and friendly staff. There was clearly a standard of service and we were acknowledged by every single staff member that walked by. That attention to detail is rarely seen.

   Great service! She was so attentive , really kind and cognizant of when if was a good time to stop by . The wine is very pricy, even for Toronto standards. But I liked it. I had the Three Kings Sauvignon Blanc. My big criticism was the shrimp cocktail. My cousin and I both just wanted a little snack so we both got one… it just was not good. The shrimp were chewy and almost frozen and the weird Clamato glaze thing… it was a big miss for me. Maybe put it on the side , with a choice of lemon, or cocktail sauce or hot sauce , I really didn’t like it. But I love the spot, I go often , the oysters are great .

   Service and atmosphere were excellent. Loved the selection of Irish whiskey. Very friendly team that took great care of us - 🙏🏻 thank you. We had the lobster, steak and Oysters. Found the lobster to be a bit bland. Steak was cooked perfectly, but again was a bit bland as were the mashed potato’s. Oysters were excellent and we really liked the sauces. We will be back but likely pass on steak and lobster and go with the jerk sandwich! 🥪

   I thought the food was a bit disappointing especially for the price. Two of us had mussels which weren't great, my fish had too much pepper which hid the the taste of the delicious fish. My family was very happy with the oysters though. The service and wine were excellent and it had a lovely atmosphere.

   Easter brunch was $35 per person; it was fairly priced and a good value. The buffet was set up near the oyster/seafood bar section of the restaurant. There were 3 salads, a fruit platter, a yogurt granola station, some baked goods (pastries), pancakes with toppings like skor pieces, sauteed spinach with garlic, scrambled or poached eggs, bacon, two types of sausages, soy glazed salmon, and mussels. There was also a flavoured water station. Coffee, juice, wine/beer, cocktails or mocktails were extra. The service was pretty good near the end of our meal. At the beginning it was slow and hard to get a waiter to refill coffee or clear plates. The noise level was moderate (you could still have a good conversation) but you could also hear all the chatter and kitchen/buffet noises. The ambience was decent but I wish there was more seating for a group of 5 (we were given a booth with a chair at the end). Overall my group had a good meal and was satisfied with our choice.

   Even though reservations are accepted 15 minutes before the buffet closes, I had to practically beg to get pastries and food. I do not recommend the all-you-can-eat brunch. My family and I had to pay even though we didn’t enjoy the food, as the staff began rearranging tables before we finished eating. And the staff was not very kind.
