What to Order
Oysters
Freshly shucked oysters, often served with a great mignonette and hot sauce, are a consistent highlight and a perfect start to your meal.
"The icebox was so thoughtfully assembled, and the oysters were so fresh they tasted like they were still planning their escape."
Fergus Worcestershire
Ice Box (Small/Mixed Shellfish)
A curated selection of fresh seafood, typically including oysters, mussels, shrimp, and crudo, presented beautifully and perfect for sharing.
"The small ice box selection was a testament to the kitchen’s commitment to quality. The oysters and shrimp were impeccably fresh, the mussels were perfectly infused with wine and butter, and the crudo sat on a superb, flavourful tomato base."

Octopus
This dish features tender octopus with impressive accompaniments and a complex, signature sauce that many find to be the highlight.
"The octopus had impressive accompaniments; the big juicy mussels almost stole the spotlight."
Terence Wong
Tuna Tartare
Elegantly plated tuna tartare, often served with crème fraîche and finger lime pearls, offering a delightful texture and sour counterpoint.
"Starting with the oyster platter, scallop aguachile, and tuna tartare is an excellent choice."
Herman Isci
Snow Crab Pasta (Tagliatelle or Fettuccine with Scallops)
House-made pasta, perfectly al dente, generously topped with snow crab meat or scallops, making for a rich and satisfying main course.
"My main event, the crab pasta, was a monumental achievement. I'm pretty sure there was an entire crab in there, shell-free and just begging to be eaten."
Fergus Worcestershire
Ontario Pear Cake
A moist and fluffy pear cake, often served with a delicious caramel sauce, providing a perfectly balanced sweet ending to your meal.
"The Ontario Pear Cake was fluffy and moist, featuring a delicious caramel sauce with a pleasant, slight burnt note."

Runner Beans
Charred to perfection, these runner beans come with a sophisticated base sauce that elevates them beyond a simple side dish.
"The runner beans were an absolute revelation—charred to perfection with a base sauce that clearly went to culinary finishing school."
