Honestly not impressed. The food is very pricy for what it is. We ordered the soup of the day which was so bland we asked salt and pepper to add to it. We also ordered bread with the soup and it came hot still in its plastic packaging. We also had the matane shrimp 'beignets' and these were ok. Was hoping for more shrimps but you really just get 1 or 2 in a big fried dough ball. As for the main course, we ordered the coquille which was good and the salmon tartarre which was excellent. On top of that the service was disastrous. She forgot to bring us an ice bucket for our wine, would not remove dirty plates from our table and then struggle to find room to place the food that was coming as well as forgot to fill our water.

The goods: I stopped in for breakfast and ordered two eggs with sausage. Overall, it was a good breakfast that included coffee. The portion size is OK. I wouldn’t say it’s small but it’s not overly generous. For me, it was fine. The eggs were really good, the home fries were not greasy and the sausage was tasty.
Service: The girl who seated us was surly. If you’re going to work with the public, and in particular, in the restaurant/ tourism industry, you might want to put a smile on your face. She left us with the impression that we were bothering her. That said, our waitress was very friendly.
Price point: A bit steep for what you get but it’s to...
