I ordered the Fish and Onion rings (halibut). Portion of fish was of a decent size and it was not lost in a thick layer of batter. Overall, great comfort food. My partner had the chicken fingers ( not a fan of fish...lol) and the portion was so big that he took half of the plate to go. Nice customer service.

Sea Salt Seafood Cafe - Half Pound Crab Bucket

I wouldn't say I've had Cajun boiled seafood at many places prior, but I think I know where the bar…read moreis. Captain's Boil, the formulaic chain would be the floor and the one I really enjoyed, Lobster Boil Seafood House, in North York would be the ceiling. What I'm about to say about Sea Salt would definitely leave their management a bit "salty". Unequivocally, Sea Salt sits in the deep basement of the pecking order. Sea Salt's standing was easily determined after my first spoonful of the seafood broil. The sauce was their downfall as they went overboard with the of garlic and not to mention they burnt the garlic. As the Cajun sauce is the soul of a seafood boil, their sauce literally ruined the entire dish and experience. The combo we ordered came with fried calamari and shrimp and fries. The fried calamari and shrimp lacked a bit of "salt", which is rather ironic considering the restaurant's name and neither of the sauce complimented (sweet chilli and ranch) the calamari well. The fries were what you expected it to be. But a little bit too much sauce. The one thing that I liked was you could choose to have the Turkish Salaam Cola as part of your combo drink choice. I didn't think it was all that different from regular cola, but it was nice to try. Service is quite slow here and not super attentive. We had to flag them down various times to get things that should have been provided. We weren't given enough plates to start and we had to request for bibs and disposable gloves. These are pretty standard things at other boil places. In general, the appetizers were better than the seafood boil. The portion of the combo was pretty good so we packed some of it to go. But to put things into perspective, the following day I reheated the food for lunch, and my two kids didn't even touch it (with one of them who had experienced Lobster Boil Seafood house). That tells you something!

I've had this place saved for the longest time and was waiting until I'm in the area to dine here…read more Finally made it and I'm so glad I tried it. First off, women-owned café? You go girls I love it. Came here for dinner and had a hard time choosing what to order as there are so many good options on the menu. Really wanted the calamari & shrimp appetizer but opted in for the shrimp bucket and the fish and chips. I also got a coconut mango drink which was super refreshing and delicious. I thought the fish tacos had a kick of spice added but they were still good. The fries were crispy, which I loved but the highlight for me has to be the shrimp. I loveeeeed the sea salt sauce. Though I usually don't like corn, I loved this one and enjoyed the meal. Would come back here for more for sure!

The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable, and when we moved to our table our server was also great. Cocktails were fabulous and the ambiance of the place is very nice. My wife ordered this vegetarian squash dish and she loved it. I ordered the steak and the cook was perfect but I found the sauce overpowering. It's personal preference, I like my steak with just salt and pepper without sauce. My fault for not reading the menu correctly. The sides of purée and veggies were great. Overall KB hits it out of the ballpark and is so much better than the chain upscale eateries.

Every dish I had was very good. For this meal I ordered something different, the shrimp stuffed catfish. Never had catfish so this dish was calling me. The sauce was very tasty and had a nice kick of heat to finish. Catfish was good and the shrimp stuffing was more like a meat ball texture and not really whole shrimp like I thought. Service was very good. Our waitress was chatty and was joking around with us which was fun. Ambiance is more on the rustic side almost had a saloon feel, partly because of the old building but it was quaint. There was plenty of free parking in the rear which was convenient. All in KB is a good option if you are looking for an above average restaurant in the east end.

Came here for a birthday celebration in the evening. It was busy, I recommend getting reservations…read moreas it seemed like a popular spot among the locals on a Saturday. Service was still very attentive during this time. Our appetizers included: complimentary bread, escargot and shrimp, cajun calamari, and a large ceasar salad Our drinks: coffee martini, cosmopolitan, and lychee martini Our mains: trout and scallops, pickerel and shrimp, and seafood di mare The appetizers were great, and the large salad was enough to feed 3 people (could have fed a 4th as we had leftovers). The star in this bunch was really the escargot and shrimp. It came with a buttery sauce that was good with the complimentary bread. The oysters were also fresh and came with salsa and horse radish topping to choose from. The calamari, while good, was overshadowed by the others. It was meant to have a cajun taste, but I did not get that flavouring coming through, but it was still a good app regardless. For the drinks, the lychee martini seemed to be a favourite given the amount of alcohol while the cosmo seemed light on it. So if you're looking for a martini with a fruity kick, I'd recommend going to the lychee martini. The coffee one tasted more like coffee, but it may have been masking the amount of alcohol based on its strong flavor. For the mains, all three were excellent. The seafood di mare is very decadent and heavy. After eating so many appetizers, I barely had any bites, but it did make for some great leftovers.

Don't let the atmosphere fool you when we first walked into this restaurant it was very small but…read morethe menu is far from what you'd expect. The food was phenomenal. We started out with the Cajun calamari, and it was cooked to the dipping sauce was great. My boyfriend had the chicken Parmesan and linguine and the sweet tomato sauce was delicious. The chicken was perfection. I ordered the lobster a rosé sauce and it was garnished with jumbo shrimp. It was up there with some of the higher end places I've been I would definitely come back here in a heartbeat. I would say this is one of the best hidden gems I've ever found 10 out of 10.

We were a little taken back by that reaction and told the waitress that it was an odd remark and we were trying to make light of the situation. Chef came out parading around like a peacock and tried to pick a fight. We were a table of 12, just coming from a funeral and a hot headed chef wanted to fight. I'm still shocked to my core that we were treated this way. We finished our meal and left. So obscene. Makes sense that we were the only patrons there on a Friday evening. Don't go.

Which my group was! There were some vegetarian options as well. We had a variety of starters-the scallops, seafood chowder (this was big and perfect to share among 3 people), oysters, and jumbo shrimp cocktail. For mains, we had the cod fish, seafood linguine, and octopus. For dessert, we had the almond cake and lava cake. From the starters, we recommend the scallops. They were a great size and perfectly cooked and paired with a crisp fruit and bacon. All 3 mains were great and quite filling. As fir dessert, if you're a chocolate lover, don't pass on the lava cake it wad divine. As for service, it was excellent. Food came out at a reasonable time, and the server himself was really personable and friendly. This place is definitely a redo!

A BBQ treasure nestled between the edges of Ajax and Whitby offers must have succulent eats…read more I've been here several times by now and tried pretty much everything on the menu and nothing is disappointing, everything is delicious. On the most recent trip I really enjoyed the country fried steak. While it is heavy, it is perfectly fried and topped with a savoury and creamy white gravy. The fries on the side were cooked absolutely perfectly. The coleslaw was tangy and balanced. The Mac n Cheese was so creamy, with a hint of spice and topped with breadcrumbs to create a mix of flavours. This is already on top of the many other tasty dishes such as the pork shoulder and smoked chicken wings which I highly recommend. Butchie's is a BBQ staple for Durham region. I've been here several times and I'll be back many times over, especially during the summer for their beautiful backyard style patio!

I don't know why I was expecting more of bbq type food, but you're in for things like chicken…read morewings, hush puppies, pulled pork, country fried steak, and sandwiches. No ribs or brisket, so I'm not sure if they really ever have that sort of bbq food available. The hush puppies were nice. I liked the crunchy/ crispy exterior and the soft, cake like interior. It was a savoury item I've never had before and definitely can understand why it's popular. I also like the sauces they served with these. Smoked chicken wings were amazing. Chicken had a nice salty, herby rub it was tossed in. It was like all dressed or bbq chip seasoning on top of the chicken which was a bit addicting. Our chicken was a bit over cooked and slightly dry, but it was still great. My partner had the country fried steak. I was going to warn him it probably wasn't his cup of tea but he never tried so there you have it. It was a fried thin steak with some gravy sauce over top. I don't know if that's how it's suppose to taste to be honest so I don't want to really judge it. I personally wouldn't order it. Nevermind if it's how it should taste, I just didn't love the soggy feel to it. The steak was super dry and over cooked. I loved the drink options. They carry a sparking tea made locally and I know they've tried to partner with local artisan drinks. They make milkshake the real way with real kawartha dairy ice cream, which is amazing. I love that they have real Kawartha Dairy ice cream too. The service is 10/10. People are incredibly friendly! The food took a while to come out the kitchen so definitely not an option for rushed dinners, but atleast it's fresh. Personally, I want to support them, but I think it's not my kind of food. I hope they continue to be in business though and spread their good spirits and fun. I'll definitely swing by for ice cream once in a while.

Great Red Lobster location…read more Great service, new menu, lots of daily combos, lunch deals and Happy Hour deals We enjoyed our service by Krystal today and we've been here before. Hostess was cute and professional Some seats can get chilly as you could be right under a vent. Washrooms were clean The biscuits were airy, buttery and garlicky The Thursday special Dinner for Two was so filling and delicious. I just wished it could stay warm a bit longer on my plate The brussel sprouts were great The escargots were cheesy and garlicky but I've had better The accompanying bread pieces were toasted and crispy but looked kind of sad The chocolate cake was a generous portion and delicious Not a whole lot of non-alcoholic mocktail selection but they do have 2 dealcoholized beers. The utensils were quite worn out (ie. Can be seen on my knife handle), could be replaced Overall, I'd definitely return another time

Updated review July 2025…read more We visited Red Lobster in Oshawa. We were delighted to see the Crabfest menu which is on until I believe September. We were greeted by the same friendly server Dee. She has excellent customer service skills and knowledge on the menu. She made suggestions on the menu such as Crabby stuffed mushrooms, margarita flights, and steak and shrimp daily special $25. We ended up ordering the Mariner seafood boil with garlic and herb sauce and the steak and shrimp special. For appetizer we tried the crabby stuffed mushrooms. All the food was scrumptious and we were given bibs and gloves to keep us from making a mess with the seafood boil. The Mariners boil is good for 2 people. Next time we will just order this and one appetizer. The restaurant is clean and staff are friendly. Recommend making a reservation if you don't want to wait.
