Happy we had a reservation & appreciated the host getting us a table outside with a nice view. Our server was incredibly busy working her area of tables & we thought she did a great job to service everyone. However, there was not time to really visit about the menu, ask for any extra napkins, etc as she never stopped moving. Overall the food was good. My wife really enjoyed her octopus, but the accompanying food on the plate was only luke warm. The seafood roll was okay.

Wonderful restaurant, staff always so accommodating & food is DELICIOUS-I take my mother every year & everytime it's a delight! She was chilly when we went & they took the time to bring her a warm polar blanket!! Who does that??? They do ♥? The view of the St Lawrence, their winding splash pool like bar area are unique & amazing!! A MUST if you're in town!!
