We rolled into Sussex around 7PM, checked into our motel (not this one) down the street, and decided to find a local restaurant that was not a chain restaurant. We stumbled upon All Seasons Inn & Restaurant, why not, eh?
Set in a large log building, the spacious dining room with table seating has a country atmosphere with shiny log walls & wood beams, and a stone fireplace. There's also a large banquet/conference room accommodating up to 200 people. The menu offers typical Canadian cuisine including starters, poutine, sandwiches, wraps, soups, chowders, salads, steaks, chops, poultry, stir-fry, seafood, pasta, comfort dishes, and desserts. The prices here are fair, most dinner entrees priced $13-$20 with HST. A Tiny Tummies menu is offered and kids 10 & under eat for a "penny a pound" so be sure to get weighed in, regular price $4.50.
My buddy had the Seafood Stir-Fry ($11.50), which was grilled scallops & shrimp and sauteed vegetables over rice pilaf. The dish itself came out hot and had a sweet taste, vegetables slightly undercooked. I had the Lasagna ($11.50) which was layered noodles with beef, hearty tomato sauce and topped with melted cheese served with mainly Caesar salad (taking up much of the plate) and toasted garlic bread. The lasagna was decent with no ricotta filling in this dish and the Caesar salad was fresh and good. For dessert, I had the homemade Apple Pie ala Mode ($4.75) which was served warm with vanilla ice cream, the best part of the meal.
The service was okay, laid back, and the waitress left us alone for most of the time. BTW, it must be customary in Canada to be asked if we wished to have split checks, since we've been asked this question at several restaurants in New Brunswick. We decided each time to have all of the food and drink on the same check. The meal check is settled up at the counter near the exit. Overall, the meal was satisfying after a long day of touring.
