The salad was not very tasty, too much fatty bacon and too much honey which made it a bit fad, fat and sweet. The mussels very great and lived up their description without being extraordinary. Nice fries again nothing special. Would come back if I could remember it. Chances are I won't.

The fish soup was also quite good, although a bit on the salty side. My daughter and I shared the duck breast. It was good, but I have had better. The piece de resistance and the reason I give this restaurant 5 out of 5 is the tar tar. It is by far, the best tar tar I have had. It was an original concoction with walnut oil and thai basil instead of the traditional ketchup/tomato based sauces. It was fantastic and so much taste. It was a nice change to all the seafood and well worth the trip. The staff were also very friendly and especially kind to kids. Although housing only a few tables, there were about 6 young kids in the restaurant and the wait staff found it all entertaining.

They have seats just very busy. Then half way taking our orders, she left and did something and back in about 10 minutes to finish taking the order. So far, you may noticed I didn't enjoy my experience at all. Yet, I've to admit their food is pretty good. At least the fish soup. Fish soup - Has an interesting flavor to it. Not the fish but some sort of seafood flavor... May be they made the soup with shell fish soup base. It's definitely delicious and I don't even like fish.

We actually wanted to go back our last night here, but didn't, it was that good. One of the popular menu items in the area is oysters. You can't find any more fresh than this! My husband and I were with another couple, and ordered oysters, mussels, fish soup and white fish (merlu). It was the prix fixe menu where you get three courses for one price. It was a bargain for what we got. Food was delicious! Everything was cooked perfectly and flavorful. The wine was as good as the dinner. In fact, when we got back to the US we looked for the same wine we had here and couldn't find it. My husband and I highly recommend this restaurant!
