I enjoyed their fish a lot (had the salmon and the cod) but they were slightly overdone. Not enough to make me not enjoy it though. But for fish connoisseurs, you'll notice. They give you the choice of soup/salad, main meal, dessert, and plenty of drink options. The servers are quick and so friendly. I loved eating here. In the morning they serve breakfast buffet style. They offer cereals, quiche, muffins, hard boiled eggs, homemade bread, juice, coffee, yoghurt, and plenty of fruits. Sadly no bacon. Breakfast is offered from 8-10am.

We chose this restaurant based on the location of our hotel, keep in mind there aren't many options around. I think this was also the reason this restaurant was busy! The grilled scallop burger was the best dish of the night! The seafood platter was mediocre, nothing special. It had calamari, fries, shrimp, oysters, and haddock... maybe more? I can't recall. The clam chowder was not it. It wasn't creamy like the clam chowder I'm used to and was the worst dish of the night. The biscuit was okay, not buttery enough in my opinion. The lobster roll was mediocre. It was my first time trying lobster rolls and my expectations were way higher as many people love them! I'm not sure if it's because there wasn't enough sauce or the sauce just wasn't that tasty. We also subbed the fries for a caesar salad and were charged the price of an extra caesar salad ($9) rather than just an added substitute price. The milkshakes were great! The vanilla milkshake tasted like french vanilla ice cream and the strawberry milkshake was also really good. A bit small for the price. Overall, wouldn't visit again. The view is great though!

Nous avions réservé à ce restaurant en espérant une belle soirée pour notre famille de cinq…read morepersonnes -- un souper spécial pendant nos vacances, à près de 360$. Lors de la réservation, nous avions bien précisé que nous souhaitions une table avec vue sur la baie. Or, en arrivant, on nous a offert deux choix : une table à l'extérieur (en pleine saison des mouches à chevreuil) ou une salle sans vue, à l'arrière. Nous avons demandé poliment s'il était possible d'être assis dans la section vitrée, qui semblait pourtant partiellement vide. On nous a répondu que cette section ne pouvait accueillir de groupes de 5, alors qu'à l'œil, des tables de 4 étaient juste à côté de tables de 2 -- facilement combinables. Le serveur a ensuite changé plusieurs fois de justification : il fallait que ce soit précisé dans la réservation (ça l'était), puis que l'autre salle était " réservée ", et finalement qu'il n'y aurait " pas assez d'espace pour les serveurs " (un argument difficile à croire, ayant moi-même été en restauration). Bref, malgré notre réservation anticipée, nous avons été placés à l'écart, sans vue. Le service n'a malheureusement pas rattrapé l'expérience : nos plats ont mis une heure à arriver, alors que les enfants -- pourtant calmes et affamés -- attendaient. Le serveur n'a jamais proposé de pain ou d'amuse-bouche en attendant. Une fois les assiettes à peine terminées (et même pas toutes), il a commencé à les ramasser avec empressement, en demandant s'il pouvait déjà emballer les frites du garçon qui n'avait pas fini. Aucune file d'attente à la porte, rien qui justifiait cette précipitation. Puis, clou de la soirée : alors que nous comptions prendre un dessert, finir notre vin et peut-être un digestif, le serveur nous a lancé : " J'imagine que vous êtes pleins et que vous allez prendre une crème glacée dans le village? "... Ce genre de commentaire, après un repas aussi coûteux, laisse un goût amer. Mon conjoint l'a interpellé, et il s'est immédiatement excusé, mais le mal était fait. La nourriture était correcte, sans plus. À ce prix-là, on s'attendait à une expérience culinaire soignée : les huîtres (26$ pour 6) sont arrivées sans cuillère pour la mignonnette, sans sauces ni explication. En résumé : ce restaurant semble réservé à une certaine clientèle. Si vous y allez avec des enfants ou des ados, oubliez la belle vue (sauf si vous mangez sur une table à pique-nique). Nous étions venus pour une soirée conviviale avec une bonne table; nous sommes repartis déçus, mal accueillis et un peu humiliés. Dommage.

We were greeted by incredibly friendly staff, ordered drinks that arrived promptly to catch the last glimpse of the sunset on their beautiful balcony. All the courses of dinner were excellent - clearly fresh, local ingredients prepared beautifully. Each dish was complex yet straightforward and unpretentious - something you'd expect and are familiar with, but made with care and great ingredients. We loved that the chef wasn't trying too hard just for the sake of complexity, as we have experienced at many other tasting menus. We enjoyed our time from start to finish! When you go, just arrive early before the reservation time to enjoy a drink on the deck before the sun sets!
