"Perfect service, very respectful staff. They managed to find us a table even though we were traveller's we passed by the restaurant without reservation. The food was big portion of sea food and we couldn't even finish it. The wine was good. The whole atmosphere was very nice and calming."

"Had the sharing 'Pirate Platter' of 2 whole lobsters, shrimp (2 types), mussels, scallops, crabs legs. Excellent.. More than enough for two of us. Accompanied by a lovely Pinot Grigio ($35)from a vineyard literally 5 minutes drive from the restaurant. Pouding chômeur (welfare pudding :) white cake with real maple syrup sauce.. Price of platter was high but worth it for our first trip to the Gaspé peninsula."

"Amazing seafood dishes. The lobsters are very good and juicy. I got the boiled one. Next time I will try the grilled one. They have a nice variety of shrimps and I recommend the local crispy shrimps. The seafood chowder is out of this world, better than the New England chowders. The rice on the other hand is good but not amazing. Note: the pace at will show you how to crack the lobster"
