What to Order
Grilled Humboldt Squid
Tender grilled squid served with a vibrant, flavorful salad that balances sour and spicy notes.
"The grilled squid was probably our favourite dish of the night. The squid was tender and the accompanying salad was a little sour and a little spicy and everything together was a very flavourful bite."
Brandon Louie
Grilled Scallops
Delicate, perfectly cooked scallops that are a consistent highlight for many diners.
"The ahi tuna tataki and the snapper ceviche was incredible, only to be outdone by the late call on our part, grilled scallops. Ho my Lanta, it was unreal"

Mussels
Large, juicy mussels served in a rich, well-seasoned broth, perfect for soaking up with bread.
"The mussels: the star of the show and the reason we came back a second time. They're huge, juicy, well seasoned, and the bread in the bowl reminds me off a French Onion soup, but with seafood."
Maria
Fries
Thick-cut, perfectly cooked fries that are a surprisingly popular and well-loved side dish.
"Everything we ordered was great — standouts were absolutely the fries (best we have ever had), brussels, and the branzino!"
Natalia Reszka
Brussels Sprouts
A flavorful and well-prepared vegetable side that consistently receives high praise.
"The seafood pasta and brussel sprouts are amazing."
Alexandra S Johnson
Charred Mackerel
A salty and flavorful mackerel dish, often served with an orange ponzu sauce.
"The mackerel, done in a classic Japanese style, was very good, and the fries and the salad were solid, but other dishes were meh."
