The place is nice. Food was good but inconsistent. The plates are very small... For a restaurant that brands itself on its lobsters, the lobster tails we got were very small and rubbery. I've had much better and fresher. Also both my friend and I ordered a lobster and clam "cassolette"... I had 1 single clam in my entire plate... My friend had 7! Considering how little there was in the plate it does make a difference! The waiter was on but borderline rude at times. Overall the experience was ok. We obviously pay a premium because of the location and I am willing to pay more but the experience has to be at that level!

Excellents cocktails Service un peu rapide, prendre un peu plus de temps entre les services Bons plats Peut être penser à proposer du pain et mettre sel et poivre sur les tables

Un repas somme toute décevant. La guédille de homard servi était peu généreuse, goûtant trop l’oignon et le céleri au point où le gout du homard était recherché. La salade servi avec l’assiette n’était pas fraîche et les frites servies tiède. Franchement, ça ne valait pas les 35$ déboursé par assiette. Nous avons demandé du pain pour accompagner notre entrée de salade d’endives et et il était sec et le beurre gelé. Bref…

L'ambiance et la nourriture était au rendez-vous. Le personnel s'est fait discret tout en étant présent pour nous tout au long du repas. La chaudrée de parlourde était sublime. Pas une chaudrée en canne comme dans le Maine. Une vrai de vrai! Au final, ce fut une très belle expérience !
