J'ai mangé à cet endroit à quelques reprises & j'ai toujours apprécié mon expérience. La sélection de bières est excellente & la nourriture est tout aussi bonne.
Mon seul bémol concerne le service. Lors de certaines visites, nous avons eu un serveur exceptionnel : sympathique, attentionné & professionnel. À d'autres occasions, nous avons eu l'impression que notre serveur n'avait tout simplement pas envie d'être là, ce qui a un peu nui à l'expérience.
Malgré cette petite inconsistance au niveau du service, je recommande tout de même cet endroit. La qualité de la nourriture & l'ambiance en valent la peine.
The rice was undercooked very hard the lobster was super tasteless but the salmon was PERFECT the taste was was majestic & flavourful it was crispy to perfection,the smell of the restaurant smelled like DEAD FISH,the shrip was RAW & it barely had any seasoning

Pas de flafla mais les plats de fruits de mer sont au rdv. Nous avons pris l'entrée d'omble chevalier fumé en partage & coquille & pâtes aux fruits de mer pour la suite. L'entrée était savoureuse mais nous avons trouvé qu'elle manquait de quantité. La coquille était délicieuse & finalement, linguines étaient bon mais on trouvait que la sauce blanche manquait de saveurs.
Ils ont une belle offre d'alcool & & des bières sans alcool itou.
Revenir dans le coin, on y retournerait.
We had dinner at this little gem in downtown Gaspé, & I couldn't be happier with the experience.
The service was exceptional-quick, friendly, professional, & genuinely warm. We were fortunate enough to be looked after by the owner, Sarah, who made us feel truly pampered & welcome.
The food was outstanding. We started with the smoked trout appetizer, which was both creative & beautifully presented. It was absolutely delicious.
For our mains, we ordered the halibut & the shrimp poutine. I cannot say enough about the halibut-it was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, & beautifully plated. I hadn't had poutine in a very long time, & I'm so glad I chose it. It was expertly prepared, with a delicate white sauce that complemented the crispy fries & sweet shrimp perfectly.
We enjoyed a perfectly chilled Pinot Grigio with our meal & finished with an excellent espresso & cappuccino.
What impressed us most was the staff. Everyone moved efficiently & gracefully, welcoming guests, delivering dishes, & patiently explaining the menu-all with genuine smiles & kindness.
We left thoroughly impressed & grateful for such a wonderful dining experience. We wish Sarah & the entire team continued success & all the very best. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
