Oysters, Mussels, Bread, Lobster Soup, Scallops, Lobster, Salads and dessert. Also Prosecco from Giusti, Chardonnay from our friends at Cave Spring, and Steamwhistle…
Continue reading ...In a sure sign of spring, Callinectes sapidus (or “beautiful savoury swimmer”) will be on our menu for the next couple of months. Our blue crabs come from Maryland, which is pretty much their northernmost habitat. Colder water than down in Florida, which means more fats, which means the tastiest of the blue crabs we…

Spot Prawns have a delicate sweet flavour and a firm texture, and turn a very pretty red when cooked. We’ll often steam them with beer and mustard seeds, or fry the heads but leave the bodies as sashimi….

Winemakers from PRA in the Veneto and Bastianich in Friuli come together with Chef Rodrigo de Romana to offer 5 courses with pairings. Salmon, scallops, fish and…

Alone? All those happy couples will remind you of how lonely you are. With someone? How do you meet their expectations of…
Continue reading ...We are excited to see the first ocean smelts of 2015 (From Misty Harbour, NS) through our doors. Prepared “Marty’s Style,” we dredge them in panko (with a pinch of curry) and fry them up. Served with a nice malt vinegar aioli, they are a tasty mouthful. Eat ’em whole, except the tail.
