They Starts us off with a multi-grain bread with the cutest butter on the side. The bread is cold, but it's tasty none the less.

Clam Chowder. $5 for a cup and $8 for a bowl.
This is their all time favorite. I must say it is one of the best. It is very creamy and flavorful. It is just the right thickest.

Lobster Bisque.
I usually don't order this soup, because I feet like the lobster is being wasted in liquid form. However, I must say this is the best that I have every had. Rich and definitely stays in you mouth. The highlight is they put in little croutons to give that extra texture. It is a bit on the salty side, but very very yummy salty.

Ceder Roasted Salmon Topped with Maple Sauce. $19
I eat salmon all the time, but this one is very oily and fresh. I cannot think of a better way to describe it. The sugary maple sauce is a great combination, it brings out all the settle freshness in the fish.
You might think you can cook salmon at home, but salmon this fresh, I bet you would not find it in a lot of places.Seared Scallops. $25
A disappointment! I have seen reveals and they all says this is one is the best and biggest jumbo scallops they have very had. Well, not in my case, five tiny scallops just lies there right in front of us. Although seared nicely and not at all over cooked, the price is just too steep to sallow. The sauce is just regular which make the dish that much planner.
PEI Mussels $14
It is very fresh once again. Usually one third of the dish is bad or empty shells, but this really gives you everything. The wine is over powering against the mussels. The garlic flavor left over soup seem such a wast without rice or bread though. Wish I have not eaten the bread at the beginning of the meal.

Overall, it is a fascinating experience. You enter the small restaurant through their small fish market. The fresh smell of fish just brings you into the atmosphere of the night. This give an illusion that your meal will be sever right, and it does deliver. Except the scallops, I would definitely come back and try the Seafood Broth (forgot what it is call) with a lobster tail.

A note to remember, they also have a take out menu. It is a bit cheaper than dine in. It includes their all time famous Fish & Chips and Clam Chowder serve.
