4 of us went last week. The service was great. The mains were a disaster. 2 of us had seafood risotto- the rice was so overcooked it was like congee. The seafood was overdone as well. Our guest had rack of lamb- also not medium rare as requested. It was a Wed so maybe the chef was not in. But at over $600 for dinner one would expect fairly simple dishes could be done properly. So disappointing.

They were amazing. The shellfish was fresh, bright, scallops wrapped in smoked salmon, plated with a beet puree and carrots. The plating was gorgeous. The fish stew was very rich with cream and sherry and full of big chunks of seafood. After the scallop dish it was nearly impossible to beat.

I ordered a cocktail and a couple small plates of seafood. They were amazing. The shellfish was fresh, bright, scallops wrapped in smoked salmon, plated with a beet puree and carrots. The plating was gorgeous. The fish stew was very rich with cream and sherry and full of big chunks of seafood. After the scallop dish it was nearly impossible to beat.

I would suggest reservations. Very nice ambiance. Very attentive waiter. Food was very, very good. Tad expensive, but worth it.

Beautiful historic building. Great history. Romantic inviting. The food is exemplerary as is the impeccable service. Amazing selection of oysters with freshly grated horseradish and traditional minuette. The charcuterie tray has great variety and is artfully presented. Lovely cocktail 🍸 selection. Halibut and risotto....winner winner and the seafood and risotto is equally good. The French fries with the works is delicious but steeply priced at 32.00... Folks...they are French fries with gravy peas cranberry sauce some cheese curd and stuffing... How does that justify 32.00? Don't get me wrong now...this is a wonderful restaurant but reviews should be honest. We tried 3 desserts...all were marvelous.. The favourite was the peanut butter 🥧. The other thing I need to mention is that this is property is not handicapped friendly and it will be difficult for anyone with mobility issues....bathrooms are not easily accessible and most certainly cannot accommodate a wheelchair....even someone using a walker would have issues....so....to sum up. Great atmosphetic historic restaurant with accommodating professional staff - terrific food, cocktails, oysters and ambiance. Entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays.
