Read moreWe were a table of 6 diners. Honestly, none of us understood what the hype was about. The shrimp poutine has some great potential. That sauce truly is great. The shrimp and cheese curds were barely warm and the fries were frozen fries. To be fair, it seems the majority of restaurants in the Gaspesie region serves frozen fries. I think it has to do with the hype that goes with this place that made it disappointing. The lobster club was just meh. Three pieces of bread, lobster, lettuce and tomatoes. No condiments so fortunately lobster is not dry. Again served with frozen fries. The poke bowl was good. The rib platter was good but again, there wasn't anything wow that set them apart from any other place.
Our waitress forgot to put one of our orders in the register so one at our table didn't get his plate. As we had trouble getting the waitress' attention (she had too much on her plate), we spoke to the first employee who came close enough to hear. It turned out to be the owner. He quickly rectified the problem. In a few short minutes our missing meal was on the table and our friend was not charged for his meal. But make no mistake, this owner has an unpleasant attitude. The words he chose and the tone he said them in were unmistakable for bad attitude. His replies to other reviewers are a testimony to that.
Did we eat well? Sure. Would I stand in line for an hour to get a table again? Probably not....
Read moreThe service here was quite good, better than some of the places we visited on our trip to Gaspe. Overall, the food was enjoyable. The ingredients were local and fresh, which was a huge bonus for us. Prices seem to be pretty consistent with other prices in the area, which is to say a bit pricier than other, less touristy parts of the province.
Shrimp poutine seems to be a local thing, as we noticed it on a few menus. We decided to try it, as when else would we get the opportunity to try a shrimp poutine. It was... Different. The shrimp was definitely fresh and tasty on their own, but the poutine itself felt light, and it kind of took away from the heart of a classic, heavy poutine.
I ordered the Smoked Salmon and Sun-dried Tomato Linguini. It was quite good, and the amount of salmon was perfect. I would have, however, preferred the cuts of salmon not to be so thick or as big. Thinner and smaller cuts, with the same proportions might have made each bite a tad more satisfying, as sometimes it felt like I had a big chunk of salmon with my pasta, where as other times it was just pasta with no salmon. Overall though, the pasta was still quite delicious, and the salmon flavour was really imparted into the dish itself.
If you're in Gaspe and looking for a place to eat, we would definitely...
