    Best oysters in town, and these Port Hardy ones were firm, flavourful and good sized. The fried smelt were unique and excellent, something different to enjoy. Only downside was the roasted zaatar squash. It came out as a sloppy salad with a lot of mushy feta (I think), overly big chunks of arugula (I think) and only a few small bits of squash. The squash had no roasted texture or flavour. After a great start I didnt want to make a fuss, but it did not come up to the menu description or a pleasant surprise. Still my favourite Vic hangout, just hope they fix the squash.
