it's a small & cozy restaurant, with oyster bar on one side.. & as we could see, only 4 servers working there.. so it took a bit long before someone came take our order..
since soup was quite a "must" for me, we decided to try their soup of the day, Oysters Chowder.. there were lots of ingredients inside.. oysters, clams, bacon, potatoes, etc.. not very creamy, good for starter!!
then, our "main course" -- OYSTERS!! we first ordered Kumamoto & Littleneck clams.. half dozen each.. it's my 1st time having raw clam.. which tasted great!! very fresh!!
we also had the chef's special.. Patrick's Oysterlicious Plates (18 for $29).. it should be Featuring Beausoleil oysters from N.B., Fanny Bay of B.C., & Sea scallops.. however, they don't have any scallops on that day; so we have 9 of each kind of oysters instead.. LG & i both think the Fanny Bay of B.C. tasted better..
they have different dinner menu every day featuring different appetizers & main courses.. & that night, we just ordered one main course to share.. it's the Seared New Zealand snapper fillet on a dungeness crab cake, organic asparation, purple sunrise carrots, french beans & a lobster reduction.. it was surprisingly good, quite juicy..
we also left some room for desserts.. couldn't remember the names exactly but one was chocolate mousse & one was some kind of Lemon tart..
the food was good, oysters & clams were very fresh.. Z&A went there a while ago saying that there weren't many choices re cooked food.. & yes, there were less than 10 main courses to choose from.. but i guess we were lucky that we picked something good -- both our soup & the snapper were not bad..
just one thing that bothered us a bit -- it took ~30 mins for one "plate" to arrive.. making us sooooo sleepy at the end of the dinner.. u really need to be very patient if u want to eat there..
