This is my new favorite lunch restaurant! While it helped to have perfect weather on a private…read morepatio, the food was impeccable! DH told me later he was unsure about a seafood place in a strip mall (it's next to a branch of RBC), but this means there's lots of free and safe parking. Midweek lunch meant no reservation was necessary, even during high tourist season. Just inside the door is a list of the locations of the hundred or so purveyors of their oysters: It's impressive! We opted for small plates and a few side dishes. Everything was so well prepared! My oysters were plump, briny, and attractively plated on ice with lemon slices. A small bucket of jarred sauces rounded out the setting: Hot Jamaican, spicy mustard, Wostershire, and mignonette. On the platter was freshly grated horseradish, which had a five second delay before the heat kicked in! My husband had the lobster roll, which was crammed full of large pieces of lobster! It was the best we've ever had! We'll be back soon! Husb

Lovely little restaurant with a cozy, comfortable atmosphere. Our server was super friendly and…read moreattentive, although the kitchen was a bit slow considering how few people were in the restaurant. We started with the scallops and pork belly appetizer, which was excellent. The scallop had a textbook-perfect sear, and the pork belly was beautifully cooked, with the fat rendered down so well that it didn't eat fatty or greasy. The whipped feta dip was also delicious, but unfortunately, the accompanying toast was slightly overdone, giving it a bitter aftertaste. They brought us a second serving of bread, which was so much better. I kept thinking to myself that I should have said something about the first batch because it really made a world of difference. For our entrées, the squid ink pasta was good, and the seafood tasted wonderfully fresh, although I would have preferred a brighter, fresher-tasting tomato sauce. The pan-seared pickerel was cooked perfectly, with beautifully crispy skin. Unfortunately, the accompaniments sounded much better on paper than they tasted on the plate. There were cheddar grits, a gumbo reduction, and andouille sausage, but honestly, you could have served me cauliflower mash instead of the grits, and I probably wouldn't have known the difference. I couldn't pick up any distinct flavors from the gumbo reduction or the andouille sausage. The only thing that really stood out was the charred corn. I'm not sure whether there were too many components competing with each other or simply not enough seasoning to bring out their individual flavors, but everything seemed to get lost. My biggest disappointment, however, was the drinks. We ordered the Fall Pear Collins and the Caesar, and while both tasted great, I expected a little more alcohol for what they were charging. I actually ended up ordering an additional shot of vodka to add to my Caesar because I could barely detect the alcohol in it, let alone feel a buzz. Overall, it was a pretty good meal with some genuinely excellent cooking, particularly the scallops, pork belly, and perfectly seared fish. A few tweaks to the seasoning, better attention to the details, and more generously poured cocktails would have made the experience that much better. There's definitely potential here, and despite a few misses, we still enjoyed our evening.

What an absolute gem! We chose their new location to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were…read moreblown away. The modern, chic decor sets a wonderful ambiance, and the service was immediate and welcoming. The food was spectacular from start to finish. We started with fresh, warm bread, followed by a flavorful seafood gumbo loaded with meat, and a generous portion of two lightly breaded crab cakes. For our mains, the 10oz ribeye and 8oz tenderloin were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection--compliments to the chef! They came with a lovely side of baby potatoes and vegetables. We capped off a perfect meal with a warm pecan tart and ice cream. I highly recommend coming here. We noticed they have a pizza oven and plan to add pizza to the menu soon; we already can't wait for our next visit to try it out! Ps parking wise, the restaurant is just off a residential neighborhood and parking is free. No need to pay for any parking, just remember to read signs.

There are specials that change weekly. The interior is decorated with New Orleans memorabilia, medium lit, cozy (not large), with jazz music in the background. Service was attentive and friendly. They operated for 30 years at their old location. This location soft-opened on 2026-02-12. We came on 2026-02-25 for dinner. There were still some furnishings to complete (there were unforeseen delays). They kept the same menu offerings but it will be expanded within a month. We ordered the following: 1. Citra Terre D'Abruzzo Pinot Grigio - Italy (glass $14.95). 2. Coke. 3. Crab Cakes ($19.95). 4. New Orleans Shrimp Cocktail ($19.95). 5. Jambalaya Aranchini (weekly special). 6. Blackened Lamb Chops (weekly special). 7. New Orleans Fisherman's Plate ($39.95). 8. Pecan Pie warmed with Ice Cream ($14.95). 9. Bananas Foster ($14.95). 10. Beignet ($14.95). Every dish had an excellent presentation. We spent a lot of time taking photos and videos. What did you expect from me?! We loved all the dishes! The portions were large! There are more staff than in the previous location, allowing the service to be excellent. They tend to have many loyal and returning customers. Every table starts with freshly baked bread and butter. The bread was so fresh! The three appetizers tasted good. They each had a little kick due to creole cuisine. I loved the shrimp the most. The Blackened Lamb Chops was perfectly cooked. Each of the four pieces were very tender, accompanied by a delicious sauce. The dish had some very nicely cooked seasonal vegetables: roasted potatoes, a red pepper, string beans, a broccoli, and a carrot. This dish will be put into their regular menu in the near future. The New Orleans Fisherman's Plate is great if you want a little sampling of their seafood: Blackened Fish, Cajun Calamari, and Coconut Beer Shrimp. It also comes with rice and seasonal vegetables. The fish was so good! We brought some home for my mom and she really loved it. The Coconut Beer Shrimp was on top of a Orange Marmalade Sauce, which is really liked. The three desserts looked really good and tasted good. I loved the pecan pie the most. They can split dishes in half in the kitchen and serve them on two dishes for two people to share. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients and spices to create authentic Creole and Cajun tastes. Everything is made in-house except for bread and butter. In the near future, their bread will be made in-house too. Currently, there is only indoor dining but they are looking into the possibility of sidewalk outdoor dining. Mike Djurdjevic runs the front of the house while his wife, Mira Djurdjevic, operates the kitchen. Their son, Marko, also helps in the front of the house. There is a large pizza oven at the back of the restaurant. They will be introducing creole pizza in the near future. There is a separate large room for events, parties, etc. This room will be ready in the near future. They also do catering. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible, and one female washroom. Thrre is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-037

I started with a nice Pino Grigio to go with our garlic bread and the relish tray with pickle spears, black olives and seasoned cold rice. As my main course I decided to go for the special, chain pickerel (a pike like fish). It was pan seared, nicely seasoned and very good. It came with carrots, asparagus and wonderful roasted potatoes. A very good cappuccino (that passed the spoon test) was a good finish of this wonderful meal. It is not an inexpensive restaurant, but is really worth a visit.

The dim sum was just okay, but the highlight of the show was definitely the lobster! It was steamed just right--tender, juicy, and full of flavour. The vermicelli noodles underneath were delicious too. I actually thought they were just there for decoration at first, but no, they're definitely edible! The lobster was cleaned so nicely that I didn't even need to use the special pliers to crack the shell further. Service was friendly, and there's also a 5% discount for paying in cash, which is always a nice bonus. Overall, come for the lobster, don't forget to enjoy those delicious garlic-butter-soaked vermicelli noodles underneath!
