Compliments to the chef:Kiwi lamb shank was melt in the mouth.Tiger shrimp was crispy outside and tender&juicy inside, which was matching nicely with the refreshing pineapple sauce.Scallops are well done wrapped in crispy bacon, and the presentation was great.Also we had excellent service, which is rare these days. She went extra mile to make sure we are happy with the food and drinks.Definitely going back next time we are in Oshawa.

This place deserves nothing but 5 stars. This was our first time at Shrimp Cocktail but will certainly not be our last.We had a fantastic and pleasant host - George who helped us throughout the night.The food was stellar, including the clam chowder appetizer, and risotto main.Beyond the food, the personal touch of the head chef Andrew coming by to check in on us and have a genuine conversation for a few minutes made the experience that much better. Will certainly be coming back here!

We love dining here. Food quality and service has always been great. Steaks are consistently excellent as are other dishes. Chef Andrew, Chantal, and the rest of the staff make us feel like family each time we are here.

Simply a wonderful culinary experience. Everything from the flavors, textures, beautiful plating and the conversations with the chefs was perfect.The chefs sincerely care about the experience that they are providing and they check in personally to ensure everything is as amazing as it should be, which it was!I had the 5oz wild caught black Cod (4.8/5) which was so tender and flavorful, the accompanying vegetables were plentiful (not just a tiny taste like some nice restaurants) and cooked perfectly crisp which was great with the succulent fish. The miso broth was an explosion of flavor that was unforgettable and added a amazing pop to the plate. The shape and cuts on the mushrooms were a super fun touch, making them look like small fish; the attention to detail is no joke.I can't comment on the other plates pictured as I did not try them. Not pictured were oysters from 2 areas of canada which were amazing as well as jumbo prawns which were the best I've ever had, basically a mini lobster!

I was very disappointed in my experience. I brought my mentor all the way from Brampton to be let down. Over the years I heard that this place was top tier dining in Oshawa. Not at all. First the service was abysmal. Our waitress was better suited for a coffee diner. She was not very pleasant, actually rude. Not prompt or thorough. She sat all of the patrons in one tight area around the front bar as opposed to spreading us out for privacy. My view was the front door and the cooking area. I was not impressed by that. The cooks were wearing baseball caps with various sports teams emblazoned. Not professional in my opinion. They had miserable demeanors as did the rest of the staff in the building. The food was extremely over priced for the quality. I don't understand why I've heard such glowing reviews. Their beet salad was just a bunch of pickled beets and some assortment cold raspberry puree. I thought it was downright unpalatable. The brie was actually delicious and the highlight of the experience. My 10oz steak was well portioned and cooked to order, but was unfavorful and covered in a bacon Jus that masked it. My potato side was a half dozen mini potatoes and a heep of mushrooms. I've had better steaks at many many other places. All in all I would not patronage this establishment again. It was empty except for maybe 10 diners. I can't see this restaurant turning much of a profit. I don't even understand how it's still in operation. Over priced and low quality.

We had such an amazing experience tonight!! The 5 of us had Chantal as our waitress and she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She was always present without being over bearing and made our dining experience so much more enjoyable.The food was top notch!! Oysters were tasty, octopus was fantastic, crab Rangoon, Brie, drinks, scallops, lamb, ALL to die for.The only sad part about our experience is that we didn’t have enough room for the entire menu!!100% recommend going to this restaurant for top tier seafood and service.We will be back!

My best friend found this amazing restaurant in the 3weeks we had to plan our wedding. From the moment we walked in the door, both Chef Andrew and Wanda were amazing. We had tried another restaurant and were disappointed, which we shared during a dinner to check it out. Wanda spent time chatting with us, and told us “once you try the food, you’ll be booking your wedding dinner”. Boy was she right! Aside from feeling like home the food and care that goes into the food is spectacular. We booked for our wedding dinner a few short weeks later. Wow, what a night. Chef Andrew and crew made the most spectacular food for us. My parents (70+ years old) said it was “one of the best wedding meals” they’d ever had. Aside from the food, the experience was like none other. ALL staff repeatedly (but respectfully) checked on us and seemed to genuinely care our wedding dinner was perfect…and that it was. We had two huge seafood platers (one cold one hot), both absolutely amazing! And the modifications for gluten free were also absolutely amazing. We truly can not thank Wanda, Chef Andrew and crew enough. I had not a worry we were in the best hands. Thanks for making our special day—that much more special. Jen & Steve Amaral
