The Arnold Palmer was basically a raspberry lemonade with barely a hint of tea. We had appetizers - she was able to sub scallops for the shrimp(due to our allergies). We had the seafood medley and 2 mini tourtierres. The seafood was good, the smoked salmon was dyed a purple color. The scallops were good, cooked a tad bit too long, but still tasty. The beef tarts were dry and the pastry tough. While our server was enjoyable and pleasant, the appetizers were not the best, and for the price, we won't be back.

Dave's Lobster was a highlight. Mr. Bee ordered the Half & Half Lobster Roll. One half of the sandwich was "The Local", which was 1/4 lb. of tender and sweet chilled lobster tossed in seasoned mayonnaise, with crisp celery and fresh chives. The other half of the lobster roll was filled with 1/4 lb. of warm lobster tossed with lemon garlic butter and fresh chives. Both were scrumptious. The flavor of the lobster was sweet. It was really nice to have a chilled half of sandwich and a warm half of sandwich. They both were different, but we couldn't decide on a favorite. I decided no lobster for lunch so I chose a grilled cheese. It was served on the same bread as the lobster roll, but the middle was filled with ooey gooey cheese and then smashed like a panini, it too was different and really good. But that doesn't mean I didn't sneak a bite or two of the lobster roll. The eatery is down on the water in a cute bungalow building. The interior is roomy and so bright and cheerful and spotlessly clean. They offer a few outdoor patio tables, and it was such a beautiful and warm day we ate outside and it was lovely. The service was excellent and the young woman working the counter was so helpful in explaining the different lobster rolls they offer to help us choose and her recommendation was spot on. This was truly the best lobster roll we had on the trip.

Hot dogs are also microwaved then tossed in the panini press to give the appearance of being grilled. Water is $3, same price as all other non-alcoholic drinks. Fries were perfect, no notes. Lobster is placed on top of the bun to look like there's a lot but once you put it inside the bun, it's quite a mediocre amount. The fish sandwich is served in a hot dog bun (same bun as lobster roll) which is fine but was unexpected. Also, no kids menu. Ambiance - 4.5 Love the location and shaded picnic tables down on the floating dock. Such a fun vibe! Service - 3 Owner had an interesting vibe, but she owned it with total confidence so all the power to her. She wasn't very warm or friendly but danced quite eccentrically while taking orders, an intriguing juxtaposition. Overall rating: 3.5/5 -- Probably won't be back but it's worth a try!

Best Lobstah in Charlottetown, PEI…read more During our 11‑night cruise from Boston through Maine and Canada, my spouse and I made it our mission to find the best lobster ("lobstah") along the route. After an underwhelming chick lobster in Boston, our hopes were high for Charlottetown, PEI. Right at the port, in front of our ship, we spotted Lobster on the Wharf--a place a friend had recommended from their 2025 cruise. They had just opened at 11 a.m., and there was already a line out the door. We were seated in the main dining room with a beautiful view of the harbour and our ship. Our server, Dave, was clearly busy managing both indoor and outdoor tables, but he greeted us warmly and appreciated that we already knew what we wanted. I ordered the Lobster Claw Caesar, and we started with the Mussels on the Wharf. They were outstanding--steamed in white wine, onions, garlic, and fresh thyme butter. Easily some of the best mussels I've had. For our main course, we each ordered a 2 lb lobster. Mine came with rice pilaf and coleslaw; my spouse chose coleslaw and potato salad. The lobsters arrived steaming hot and perfectly cooked--tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Truly the best lobstah I've tasted. Dave checked on us throughout the meal, and only later did we learn he was also the manager. It was great to see leadership so hands‑on and engaged. If you're visiting Charlottetown, do yourself a favor and book a reservation at Lobster on the Wharf. We walked in right at opening, but by the time we left, the place was packed. A fantastic experience from start to finish.

Then another waiter stepped in but forgot about us. We had to ask multiple times for things like drink refills or missing utensils. Just really poor.
