The service was outstanding, as was the ambiance, and most importantly the food. We got the crab cakes, lobster roll, oysters, and seafood stew. All of which were excellent! I wish I could go bad again and again to try the whole menu. Highly recommend everyone stop in!

It was nearly full on a Sunday afternoon, so service moved a little slowly, but the staff stayed friendly and attentive. Appetizers: - PEI Mussels - Mermaid Chowder Mains: - Shrimp Roll - Lobster Grilled Cheese Dessert: - New York-Style Cheesecake The seafood was fresh and generously portioned. My shrimp roll was light, tangy, and surprisingly plentiful, and the chowder had a hearty amount of clams--comforting without being overly heavy. The lobster grilled cheese was rich and indulgent in the best way. We finished with a classic cheesecake that rounded out the meal nicely. Overall, a satisfying experience and a lovely little spot for seafood in Oakville. Would happily return to explore more of the menu.

The attention to detail in the space alone already tells you you're in for something special. The menu is stacked with premium cuts, and you can tell they take their steak seriously. From wet-aged to 45-day dry-aged options, everything is curated for real steak lovers. The sides? Not an afterthought. Think truffle hand-cut fries, roasted garlic mash, and mac n' cheese done right. Service was top tier -- knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the experience. You're not just eating here... you're being taken care of. And if you don't feel like deciding, the "I Don't Give a F%*K" chef's menu is such a vibe -- just sit back and let them do their thing Overall: incredible atmosphere, high-quality food, and a true steakhouse experience that delivers.

You can tell they put real care into what they serve. Great food, great service, great atmosphere -- can't ask for more. Wish there was one of these in Florida!

And it's great that they provide summer jobs for students, as mist of their staff are younger generations. It's a nice place to sit down, relax and enjoy a bite or some drinks and also the view. They also have tables inside and you're not obligated to sit on the patio. Their menu includes small bites, seafood options, salads and bowls, sandwiches, pizza and desserts. We ordered "Baja Fish Tacos", "Cheeseburgers Loaded Fries", and "Shrimp Gyoza" and of course cocktails. The food was fresh and delicious. The service can be slow from time to time.

Service was incredibly slow (drinks, putting in an order, etc.)…read more This joint needs to contact their HVAC company. The indoor dining is a polar vortex and intolerable for an entire meal. My limbs, hands, nose, etc. were ice cold 30min into our dining experience. I could have used a heated blanket or snow suit to dine this place. We brought it up to staff and they basically brushed it off and said they were hot so "too bad." Ordered oysters and they came out completely submerged underwater. No joke, my oysters were floating in a pool. I think they let them sit in the kitchen for a while before they came out. Considered asking for a fresh order (and they offered) but was worried they would just replate them. Asked for them to be removed from the bill. Not in any hurry to come back... like anytime in the next 8-10yrs. If there was a manger around (never saw one - bunch of kids working), maybe it would be better? Who is the adult in charge at this place? Don't waste your time or money. I hope I don't have the double dragon tonight when I get home.

Came here to celebrate Mother's Day…read more This smart dressy dress code restaurant was very cozy and intimate. It was a wonderful atmosphere with soft instrumental music and the ability to hear the conversation of people at your table. To start, there was toasted bread with feta cheese and dill pickles. The starter salad was a huge supper entree size plate. The choice wax garden or Cesar. You could get the French Onion soup instead. Had the main Filet Peppercorn sauce. Asked for medium rare and it was amazing but it had a little much gravy for my liking. The baked potato side was a nice side (not too big) which came with butter and sour cream versus having french fries. Veggies were a few string beans, a slice of a big carrot and a piece of red sweet pepper. The plating of such fine expensive entrees was not very sophisticated. Thought it would be plated much nicer than it did. The server was very friendly and helpful. Chefs were accommodating to special requests and the food was excellent. A nice, special occasions/ celebration restaurant. It is better than a chain restaurant.

Hannah who…read morecoordinated the event was super helpful right from day one till the evening of the event and also made it a point to come and make sure with me that the team was well looked after. She helped me put together a bespoke dinner menu with enough vegetarian options (some team members were vegetarians). We had assorted Canapes that included Chicken Skewers, Smoked Salmon Crostinis, Caprese and Spring Rolls. All were very tasty and popular. The red and white wine selections- Cab Sav and the Chablis were pretty good. For the mains the team had a selection of Prime Rib, Vegan Cassoulet, Cornish Hen or Pasta Primavera to choose from. I personally had the Prime Rib which was done medium rare and cooked to perfection in its jus. Marbling was ok, however not perfect (my portion had a bit extra fat hanging at the edges) and sauce was good. I heard the hen and the cassoulet were tasty too. We finished the evening off with Lava Cake and Creme Brulee, with the lava cake getting more thumbs ups. The service and the bar were attentive, courteous and fast and people got their special cocktails and drinks at the bar as and when needed. All in all, everyone was pleased with the evening.

Booked it for a birthday dinner and it was quite honestly, a really disappointing experience…read more We arrived for our reservation for 6 and we were sat by the hostess who was kind of rude and didn't have her mask on most of the time. After being sat, we waited 30 minutes before anyone came and greeted us and asked if we wanted drinks. I made eye contact with the waiter SEVERAL times but he would look at me and look away. It was really not busy and tables were empty. The table next to us were sat and ordered drinks AND food. We finally had a server come and ask if we wanted drinks, and we all ordered. The drinks took maybe another 15 minutes. The time limit we were given was 1 hour and 20 mins by the way. After we got our drinks, we got our orders in. Most of the time when i looked back, our waitress would be on her phone. I believe she was the manager (tall young Asian lady) she didn't have her mask on unless she was literally BY our table and put it up. Whenever i would ask her a question about the menu, she just looked simply annoyed and i did NOT feel welcomed. The food came in a reasonable time. It was tasty but honestly nothing special. The meat in the burger was really really tough though. The fries tasted like McDonald fries with a hint of Parmesan. We wanted to order desserts but the waitress would literally come and picked up our food and left while we literally were mid sentence. We were appalled. We got the desserts and talked for a while. The only reason i gave them two stars is because the food is quite good and we were allowed to stay for a while. The bill came to be handwritten? It was expensive for what we ordered and the service we received. Would not come back.

Had the crab poutine and while massive it tasted old and fishy. Ordered the French onion burger and while also big, the meat tasted expired. I was sincerely worried that I would get sick later (so far it's the day after and I'm fine). The optional ceasar salad upgrade was delicious though. Server was great and super friendly. Place is classic pub and felt grimy. Won't be back because the food is awful.
