For appetizers I shared the calamari with my brother and they were perfect. Not greasy at all and very tender. The clam chowder which was very flavourful and not too heavy. The same can be said about the seafood bisque. For the main, I had the cod. Very good. My only complaint was it was oily but that was due to the nature of the sauce. Everything on the plate tasted very good. My father had the sea bass and my mother the blackened cod. Both adored their meals and polished their plates.Wait staff was very kind and polite and offered recommendations and help at every turn. They came often with water and to check up on us.Atmosphere is great in this restaurant. The lighting is good, the place settings are nice, the decor is appropriate and tasteful. Tables are well spaced out and it is not too busy. One major plus is the chairs are very comfortable. More so than other restaurants I’ve been to.Overall this was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this place for any sort of celebration or for a date nightDietary restrictions: I have but allergies and the waiter assured me they do not use nuts at all in the kitchen

Wife's fish was salty and mine had no taste.Appetizers were ok.Service:My wife went next door to buy dessert since the waiter never came back for the dessert order....lolThey had their heads down most of the time so they could not see people raising their hands.This restaurant is serving Italian food with few portuguese food on the menu.I miss the authentic portuguese food serverd in clay dishes.To the owner:Please change it back to the way it was. You are slowly losing customers.The person who made a decision to change the menu to Italian should be fired and resturant back to its glorious days of serving authentic portuguese food in authentic portuguese dishes.

My husband and I came to Etoile de l’Ocean tonight and as usual, were so happy that we drove 45 minutes to come for supper. We both loved how our fish was prepared and the vegetables were divine. We always order the same appetizers and are never disappointed. We can hardly wait to come back. This is our 5 star restaurant!!

We showed up without a reservation. They said there is a private party going on so it is loud. If that is ok we are happy to serve you. Food was great, even the chef asked us how everything was as we were leaving. Great everything ?
We were treated like second-class clientele. We had made a reservation and arrived on time. There were tables by the window that suited our 4-person party and they sat us further away. Then they forgot about my husband's meal all together. Tables that were seated well after us were served in a timely manner. There was no apology for forgetting my husband's entrée and no apology for it taking so long to get out meals. It may be considered the best restaurant in Brest but I wasn't impressed.

We went there to celebrate Mother’s Day. We were 17 people in all ,yes we arrived a little bit later but after ordering it took roughly almost 2 and a half hours to receive our food plates .. There was one waiter for a whole floor the guy looked and acted super stressed out.. The owner never acknowledged anyone not even a Hello..I ordered fish cakes they looked like pieces of charcoal disgusting all burnt .. My paella was dry and looked pitiful I gave half of it to my son .. the waiter was so worried that my bottom plate was missing like I had stolen the plate lol..I grew up in the Plateau went to this restaurant many of times the food was Amazing the People who ran it were Great .. Maybe it was COVID but this place is not the same .. Our Family spent a lot of money this day . we had an amazing time cause we were all together not for the food or the service..Unless this restaurant changes to what it was before , I will never step foot again in it .. disgusting Service my galão had a small hair in it and it was not hotWe didn’t make a fuss paid the bill but certainly did not deserve a good rating or comment…
