Fantastic Place!! Think: Hot, steamy, crusty giant pancake!…read more 1. Don't let the word "pannekoek" distract you - when I ordered I asked for gluten free and the cook (CHEF) said he made gluten free pancakes (Pannekoek is a fancy word for more pancake than crepe) that were really good - and he was RIGHT! I had already had breakfast and I saw one of these - ordered it and took it with me. It was MAGNIFICIENT. I had it plain with powdered sugar and it was one of the best things I have ever eaten. I tore chunks of the steaming sweet dough and ate it in bite-size chunks as we drove with windows down with chilly wind wafting through. Oh, my friends got regular (not gluten free) waffles that they said were terrrific! 2. Don't let their web site photos influence you - the food is a thousand times better than the photos look! 3. Here is the reason we stopped. Our B&B gave us coupons for breakfast and we could use the coupon here or at The Clucking Hen. We wanted to check the places out so we stopped at the Dancing Moose and it was closed at the time. We peeked through the window and the cook (CHEF) saw us, unlocked the door, came out and said they were not open yet but "Do you need the ladies room? You are welcome to use it." Now, WHO is that nice these days? We didn't but we promised to come back so we did. We were the winners in that decision! 4. If you like, try this place. We had a great time and the food was wonderful! We went back and we will go back every time we go to Cabot Trail which will be frequent as we have visitors who come and want to see the Cabot Trail!

The Seafood Basket with (fried) Haddock, Clams, Scallops and Coconut Shrimp with crispy fries was also a hit. Fancy dishes for the coleslaw, tartare sauce, ketchup and cocktail sauce - nope. Did I care - nope ! This unassuming restaurant attached to a garden shop was crowded the entire time we were there. It was around 2:30 in the afternoon on a Tuesday when we arrived and almost every table was taken the entire time. We were all full and couldn't eat dessert so we bought 3 different ones to take with us to have later. (This is later - the Bucket of Mud, the Coconut Cream Pie and the Chocolate Cake were all good to very good) If nearby, give it a try.

Service was efficient, friendly and no fuss. Atmosphere was like a busy coffee shop, with the same amount of noise you would expect.

Nous avions réservé à ce restaurant en espérant une belle soirée pour notre famille de cinq…read morepersonnes -- un souper spécial pendant nos vacances, à près de 360$. Lors de la réservation, nous avions bien précisé que nous souhaitions une table avec vue sur la baie. Or, en arrivant, on nous a offert deux choix : une table à l'extérieur (en pleine saison des mouches à chevreuil) ou une salle sans vue, à l'arrière. Nous avons demandé poliment s'il était possible d'être assis dans la section vitrée, qui semblait pourtant partiellement vide. On nous a répondu que cette section ne pouvait accueillir de groupes de 5, alors qu'à l'œil, des tables de 4 étaient juste à côté de tables de 2 -- facilement combinables. Le serveur a ensuite changé plusieurs fois de justification : il fallait que ce soit précisé dans la réservation (ça l'était), puis que l'autre salle était " réservée ", et finalement qu'il n'y aurait " pas assez d'espace pour les serveurs " (un argument difficile à croire, ayant moi-même été en restauration). Bref, malgré notre réservation anticipée, nous avons été placés à l'écart, sans vue. Le service n'a malheureusement pas rattrapé l'expérience : nos plats ont mis une heure à arriver, alors que les enfants -- pourtant calmes et affamés -- attendaient. Le serveur n'a jamais proposé de pain ou d'amuse-bouche en attendant. Une fois les assiettes à peine terminées (et même pas toutes), il a commencé à les ramasser avec empressement, en demandant s'il pouvait déjà emballer les frites du garçon qui n'avait pas fini. Aucune file d'attente à la porte, rien qui justifiait cette précipitation. Puis, clou de la soirée : alors que nous comptions prendre un dessert, finir notre vin et peut-être un digestif, le serveur nous a lancé : " J'imagine que vous êtes pleins et que vous allez prendre une crème glacée dans le village? "... Ce genre de commentaire, après un repas aussi coûteux, laisse un goût amer. Mon conjoint l'a interpellé, et il s'est immédiatement excusé, mais le mal était fait. La nourriture était correcte, sans plus. À ce prix-là, on s'attendait à une expérience culinaire soignée : les huîtres (26$ pour 6) sont arrivées sans cuillère pour la mignonnette, sans sauces ni explication. En résumé : ce restaurant semble réservé à une certaine clientèle. Si vous y allez avec des enfants ou des ados, oubliez la belle vue (sauf si vous mangez sur une table à pique-nique). Nous étions venus pour une soirée conviviale avec une bonne table; nous sommes repartis déçus, mal accueillis et un peu humiliés. Dommage.

The iced coffee was very good, however it staggers the imagination that they do not have brewed iced tea? What do the the people with diabetes drink. Having said that, I would think they must lose may potential sales dollars to the increasingly growing population segment which has diabetes? As for the service, at times it was exceptional and at times poor. One employee I must single out for recognition is employee Adam Buckles. Adam is an excellent multi-tasker and was always very professional and polite. Kudos to Adam. When I return next year I will surely return to Robins...Maybe by next summer they will have unsweetened iced tea?

We kept it simple and got the Nova Scotia staples of: - Lobster Roll: Generous chunks of lobster, soft and chewy roll, a bit heavy handed on the mayo and light on the coleslaw. The surprise star of the dish though was the side potato salad (super creamy). - Seafood Chowder with additional lobster: Pretty generous with the fillings (lots of potato, though a good amount of seafood too; the additional lobster added depth). That said, the soup was too thin and not as tasty as I'd like it. Good space, service was friendly. Too bad they ran out of the coconut cream pie which apparently is really good. Must be those locals who finished it!
