We sat by the front windows, and when I walked through the intimate dining room it looked inviting as well. There isn't a lot of seating, and Pedro does all the cooking, so reservations are a must, as they fill up fast and stayed busy the entire time we were there. Pedro came over introduced himself and asked how were our meals. Everything was delicious. My husband was a wonderful chef, and the seafood linguine was bathed in a sauce that replicated my hubby's! He died 8 years ago, so this was a pleasant surprise that brought back some sweet memories. Definitely a yes!

This place is a true PEI institution. It started back in 1958 as a fundraiser by the New Glasgow…read moreJunior Farmers, serving lobster and pies in a canteen hauled onto the site for $210. Today, it's grown into a huge dining hall with a polished system--but the sense of tradition is still very much alive. The setup is simple but memorable: everything is all-you-can-eat except the main course. You'll get bowls of seafood chowder, steamed mussels, salads, rolls, and dessert included with your meal. The lobster is the star, of course--I had the 1.5 lb, and it was perfectly cooked, sweet, and tender. The sides are plentiful and satisfying, but they exist to set the stage for that big plate of lobster. Expect a line before the doors open--it's part of the experience. Service is efficient and friendly, clearly well-practiced at managing the volume. This isn't fine dining, and it doesn't pretend to be. It's about tradition, community, and sharing in a piece of PEI history. Bottom line: if you're on the island, a lobster supper here is non-negotiable. It's as much a cultural event as it is a meal.

We chose a 3 lb lobster, which was perfect between sweetness and meatiness for us. Restaurant has children menu for 12 & under, which offers smaller menu such as 1/2 of 1 lb lobster for 24$ and other non seafood regular kids menus. Start by paying for ticket with choice of meal when you enter. Price includes two servings of rolls, bucket of mussels, seafood chowder, dessert and non-alcoholic drinks (just no seconds of mains). Big dining room area so there was no wait to get a table, and good for big groups and family friendly as well.

They had tables set and ready for us when we arrived. Most of the seniors came for their famous lobster roll sandwiches but a few of us had dietary restrictions and they were able to accommodate us and served us with a smile. (Restrictions included gluten free and shell fish allergies) The people with seafood sensitivities were served chicken salad sandwiches which were delicious. Both the lobster roll and chicken salad came with potato salad, a strawberry dessert and a drink. Serving sizes were plentiful and exceptional taste. Attached to the restaurant is a souvenir shop that had a good selection of local products. Prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend you give them a visit. You'll be glad you found this gem.

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!

And salt your water!
