    The food was really good. The service Was even better, the food came in under 5 minutes and the sever was incredibly kind. I would recommend this place for sure 5 stars.

    Yvonne's famous hot turkey sandwich
    Paula M.

    Very cute restaurant. Staff was very friendly and a lot of items to choose from on the menu. We ordered the seafood platter and the hot turkey sandwich. I usually do not like to order turkey sandwiches at restaurants as they can be a little dry, but this one here is amazing! Very generous portion of turkey and it was not dry at all! I enjoyed every bite. Apparently the owner is a turkey farmer so they are well known for their turkey! The seafood platter was a great value as it comes with big portions (except for the lobster). But if you can only try one thing here, I definitely would recommend the turkey sandwich!

    Mussels

    Nicely decorated restaurant, staff was very friendly. Ordered mussels appetizer- over half of them were empty. For $13 I feel like that should not be happening

    fish and vegetables on a table

    Great food, great service, great atmosphere! We visited here once before when we came to the island and we knew we would return. We had steamed mussels as an appetizer with fish and chips and pan fried haddock as our main dishes, plus fresh dinner rolls. Reasonable prices.

    Strawberry Milkshake at Chez Yvonne's

    We weren't expecting this place to be very good based on the reviews we read. We were wrong! This place was great. First of all, our waitress was excellent. Service was fast, very friendly, and the food was pretty good. I ordered the strawberry milkshake as my drink. Sooo good. It tasted like it was made with fresh strawberries and it had the perfect amount of thickness. I ordered the chicken fingers with onion rings as my side dish. The chicken was great and the onion rings were so delicious as well! My mom had the clam chowder which she said was very tasty. The only downside was that the steamed vegetables that came with my meal were a bit over cooked, they were lacking flavour and could use some seasoning. Other than that, this is a great place to eat!

    Island Favorites - Lobster roll (greenhorn)

    We arrived in town today and started looking for a restaurant. This was a great find. As others…read morehave said, it is a family owned business. Our server Brooklyn was wonderful. The food was delicious esp the chowder, lobster rolls, coleslaw, potato salad - wait- that's everything we ate. All wonderful! We are looking forward to returning!

    Chose the place based on average reviews. I was not overly impressed. The service seemed to care…read moremore about their convenience than serving the customer. Our group ended up having to sit separately because the waitress was concerned about not being able to walk around a larger table, which seemed unfounded and a concern that was waitress centered rather than customer centered. When asked about closing a window because cold air was affecting some in our party, same waitress said it was not possible because the kitchen needed the air... Well... five minutes later, the customers that took the table near the window simply closed the window to avoid the cold wind... Two for two! Not a great beginning. Ordered seafood chowder and fish and chips. What would you expect? Yes... seafood chowder is served first and once customers are done with it ... you bring the fish and chips. Logical, right? Not here. They brought everything together, which meant the fish and chips got cold while we had the chowder. Third strike... Anything else? Let me say this, the fried fish, in my opinion, was not great. First, you could taste "stale" oil (old oil). This alone turned me off. Second, there was little fish and a lot of breading, I'd say 70% breading 30% fish. So, if you combine oil taste with very thick breading you get what I got. To eat the fish I had to take the breading apart. On a positive note, the seafood chowder was excellent. As Luc B. review pointed out, it is a very basic family and kid friendly setting.

The place was kind of depressing it was empty and staff were on their phones the whole time. Multiple people came in and left because of the ridiculous prices.

Our family has to navigate life with a severe nut allergy, so we were impressed when the staff took the time to discuss with us exactly which menu items were made in-house and safe. It's a mom and pop operation, they talked about how hard it was to find consistency and quality from the suppliers during -and after- the pandemic. We were able to find several food options for my son, and for him we ordered fried fish with a side of poutine. He was in heaven. Well, we all were, actually, because the seafood was delish. We even returned later for soft serve ice cream because they guaranteed it was nut-free. My kid has only had ice cream from a commercial restaurant maybe 2 or 3 times in his life, so it was a very rare and welcome treat. We definitely recommend Captain Scott's - both for their food and also for their family's friendliness and service. We love this place. Thank you!

    This restaurant offers seating both indoors and outdoors. Interior is warmly decorated and lightly…read morefollows the lobster theme - very cute. We came here as part of a tour. It cost extra (~$60 IIRC) for a lobster lunch. We were each served a lobster and in the centre of the restaurant, they had trays of side dishes (self-serve). I don't remember all the side dishes but there were salads, soup, mussels. One con was that these didn't seem to get refilled as much as they should've throughout our lunch here (though we were told it would be constantly refilled). If you are part of a tour, my tip would be to fill your plate on the first round with whatever you think you'll eat. I usually take small portions and just get more after, but there was no more in this case. :') For the most part, the service was great. Our food was served almost immediately after being seated. The servers were very friendly. Food wasn't bad. I found my lobster to be just a teensy bit overcooked but the food is rarely ever perfect when you're part of a tour, because they have to prepare so much all at once.

    This is a great casual spot to grab a lobster dinner near Cavendish/New Glasgow…read more We were there in August when it was great to sit outside and enjoy a seafood meal in the summer weather. We stopped in for lunch and we were early but the owner was very accommodating. We just couldn't resist having the lobster dinner. Came with mussels and a salad to start. The lobster came with corn on the cob and garlic bread. Right off the highway and lots of parking.
