This is the hottest new place in town. It certainly is a great spot to view the ‘beautiful people.’ I had
heard so many raves about the place. It is on the corner of Rushton Rd and St Clair. The patio was filled
and the inside was booming. Everybody was ‘well heeled’ and believe me they need to be. I have mixed
feelings about this place. Would I ever return? Not likely.
I found the prices to be excessive. Perhaps if the food had of been better I would not have minded the
process. All the people around us were indulging in first and second courses and seemed to be jovial and
happy.
I love dining with this dinner companion. She is such a good sport and will try anything. We love people
watching and both enjoy a fine glass of wine and gourmet dining. We usually share a salad to begin.

The only salad listed was Market Slaw ($7.00) or Grilled Lobster Salad. ($24.00) Neither appealed

to us. The Halibut Croquettes with harissa aioli were probably a good option but too filling for an
appetizer.($9.00)
The menu features large and medium items. The medium items are meant as an appetizer or a side.

Nothing appealed. Clam Linguine is served with chilies and basil.($22.00) Grilled Octopus comes with
fingerling potatoes, roast pepper and salsa Genovese.($17.00)
The large items are obviously the entrée courses. They are costly and many do not come with any

side dishes. All the sides are extra and can add sufficiently to a bill. We did share a side of Grilled

Asparagus. ($6.00) Each piece was delicious. There were not that many pieces on the dish. We noticed the Lobster Mashed potatoes at the next table ($20.00) This was just a side dish.

My friend ordered the BC Red Spring Salmon with sweet corn succotash and fresh fig.($32.00) The
portion of the fish was generous. The salsa was sufficient but there wasn’t anything else on the plate.
The worst part was the salmon was overcooked and slightly rubbery. I would have sent it back. In my
opinion it was unacceptable.

I ordered the PEI Halibut.($34.00) It came with roasted mushrooms, brussels sprouts and hazelnut
sauce. The fish was a generous portion. It was flavorful and perfectly cooked. One half of one brussel
sprout was a bad joke. It tasted delicious but there wasn’t enough to saver. The mushrooms were
outstanding. The hazelnut sauce was exquisite but merely a teaspoon of it on the plate.

A 2 lb PEI Halibut is listed for $70.00. That is more than enough for 2 people to share. A 2.5 lb Dry

Aged bone-In Rib Steak with tiger blue cheese is offered at $75.00

If those sizes and prices do not excite you there is an XX Large section on the menu. A Clam Bake for 6
is $300.00
I guess some people are impressed with the large portions and the excessive prices. I would prefer a
dinner size portion with some vegetables on the plate. Good for them for offering Ocean Wise seafood.
I found it all to be excessive and ‘over the top’ I have no need to return.
The two of us went for an ice cream and enjoyed that more than the dinner. We chatted with people in
line and felt we were more at home.
