Just outside the port area you'll find a small farmers market with local artisans and good…read morebusinesses. I would say this market leaves heavier on the arts and crafts side than food during our particular Sunday visit. I don't know if there tends to be more food on other days? We saw a few prepared food options and one farmer with produce. I was joking to see a more produce and food maker heavy market. They offer such a great glimpse into the local scene and culture. This market has a mustard maker, knitter, dried flower products and some sweet girls playing violin at the entrance. You can't beat the location adjacent to the food hall, port, and floating restaurants along the boardwalk.

It was a bright and sunny August afternoon and we had finished perusing the butterfly garden up the…read morehill. We strolled down through the beautiful gardens to the restaurant perched on the riverbanks. The restaurant does not optimize for volume or turnover and we had a 45 minute wait. We enjoyed the adjoining shop and their selection of jams and spread. The wait was worth it! The room is a bright large room overlooking the river. Handmade quilts hang from the ceiling. We started with nachos, that had the right blend of cheese and toppings. Unfortunately there were no side plates brought, causing us to eat like animals from a common trough. A slight mishap with a spilled glass of water interrupted our otherwise pleasant appetizer. The server's attention was less than prompt causing us to get extra napkins from directly behind the counter. Still, we soldiered on and prepared for the main feast. The seafood chowder was one of the better ones all trip. Fresh and flavourful pieces in a cream broth, served with a fresh side biscuit. The real opportunity is to highlight the delicious jams and spreads from the shop which would add some much needed flavour to the biscuits. Other meals included kids pasta, kids jam sandwich, a club sandwich, fish cakes and a Caesar salad. All were promptly devoured. A great location with fresh food and pleasant service. Worth the wait!

We loved this restaurant so much that we came back more than once during our visit! The staff and…read morerestaurant manager were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The lakeside setting is absolutely picturesque, and the interior is just as beautifully decorated. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and consistently delicious. I also have a dairy allergy, which the kitchen accommodated flawlessly without sacrificing an ounce of flavor. Such a wonderful experience all around. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Expanding the inside and the deck as well as adding an extended roof to cover the ordering area as well as some additional deck seating. While there was a price increase, nothing was outrageously high compared to the area. The ice cream is always fresh and have maintained the decent sized portions. My personal favorite is the hot caramel apple sundae in a waffle bowl. I substitute salted caramel hard ice cream for the vanilla soft serve.

Great service and delicious ice cream. The service is spot on…read moreSome weeks we go there 5 night. Just a great treat

Pros? Lots more flavours to choose from!! Among the four of us, we shared three cups of double scoops. Since you pay only $1 more for an extra scoop, it's very much worth it to share (instead of ordering another single scoop)! We decided to experiment and try new flavours. My sister got the Cookie Moonster again, as she really enjoyed it the last time. She also got the Moo York Cheesecake, but I felt that this flavour wasn't as good. There wasn't a prominent cheesecake flavour, and the taste really just blended with the cookie moonster. My parents shared the Cowconut (my mom's favourite; I found it a bit too overwhelming) and the Maple Walnut (it had quite a strong maple taste, but there were impressive chunks of walnut pieces in the ice cream). I opted for the vanilla - plain and simple, but the best! I also got the PEI Blueberry. We had sampled both the Apple Crisp and the Blueberry... I preferred the Apple Crisp more, but my dad found the caramel bits to be too sweet, so we got the Blueberry. Between the strawberry and blueberry, however, I do prefer the strawberry, so I'm glad I listened to the server the last time at Milky Way!
