    I can't believe I'm about to give this place a three star. The food was tasty - I wolfed down my lobster salad and oysters which were raw & baked. I devoured them. It was phenomenal but the price didn't match. $18 for my salad, ouch! I will however justify that with the fact that there was lobster in my salad so screw my $18. What really broke me was my boyfriends clam chowder. It was lovely but the serving was too small for $16. Also, there were 3 perfectly placed mussels for presentation atop the bowl which looked pretty, but one was closed. What restaurant (that obviously strives for presentation and good eats) serves a closed/bad mussel as a main piece of presentation? The chefs clearly picked out three mussels from another pot and put them on top of the soup. Wtf man?! To end this on a positive note, the atmosphere was vibin' and the artists on stage across the street were killin' it!

    While visiting the East Coast, my friend recommended a few places she had liked and we ended up at Fishbones for dinner one night. As a party of 5, we made a reservation and were seated right away when we got there on the busy Canada Day night. We all ordered some drinks to start off and I had ordered one of their local beers - the Blueberry Ale. The cocktails and beers were all fantastic and thoroughly enjoyed by our group. For apps - two of my friends ordered oysters to share and I ordered a chowder. The chowder very rich and filling for the small size (I shared this with a friend). For the main, I opt for the sesame crusted tuna with potato salad as my side (sesame crusted, seared medium rare, hoisin ginger glaze, veggies, choice of side). I had to say that I was disappointed with this as the hoisin sauce was overpowering and overall made the entire dish salty. I feel like they tried to add an asian flare to it but it ended up just tasting like the sauce. Overall, I thought that the food was decent but slightly on the expensive side for the amount of food you actually get in each dish.

    Good location on Victoria Row with street seating facing street musician performers and rooftop patio can't make up for the small portions and subpar quality for food. The sesame crusted tuna was quite tasteless and barely enough to feed a small child. Grilled salmon was similarly minuscule but slightly better prepared. The 8oz striploin is respectably 8oz, but otherwise not interesting. The beef vindaloo is decently sized and is perhaps the best dish on the menu to fill you up with carbs, but taste wise is not particularly noteworthy. I would recommend this place for drinks and the atmosphere, but skip the food.

    We got the enormous seafood platter with sides! It was pricey at $80 but it was had so many delicious options with plenty to share.

    Quiet restaurant on a Sunday, off the pedestrian walkway. Waitress missed telling us the specials (which was seared tuna), so we ordered the lobster clubhouse sandwich with fries, and the scallop burger with fries. The scallop burger, while a great idea, was a disaster on a bun. 4 individually battered and deep fried scallops on a bun with a generic tarter sauce on the bun... Even cutting this in half - the only safe way to eat this is a knife and fork. Who wants to eat a burger like that?! The lobster clubhouse was safer on the mess scale, but not that great on the taste scale. Overall the location was good, but the food and service left a person full, but not satisfied.

    Super fun place for lunch on the roof when the weather is good. The roof is a few flights up with a more limited menu but really tastes great. Would probably be a great place for a late drink with the singles crowd. The service was a bit slow and in attentive. Warrants 5 stars if the service was better. Place seems to cater to the cruise crowd but still has a local feel.

    This is closed now. It has been replaced by a higher end Italian restaurant. Lovely bar area.

    We grabbed lunch on the day we arrived in PEI. The portions were HUGE, the price was reasonable and the service was friendly.

    Was very underwhelmed with the fish and chips here. Also the sangria was not worth it.

    Awful. Lobster shells in the lobster roll. Even still, not good. Don't recommend. Go to brakish instead for similar stuff

    We heard the best lobster rolls in PEI were at Richard's, so we ventured about 30 minutes from our…read morehotel to check it out--and it was absolutely worth the relaxing drive. When we arrived, the line was already 20 people deep. We joined in, and to our surprise, it moved pretty quickly. We ordered four lobster rolls and grabbed a seat outside in the blustery wind. In the back of my mind I was thinking, this better be worth it. Then our buzzer went off. When I picked up our lunch and saw the sheer amount of lobster they give you, my first thought was: hell yes, this is worth it. Even sitting outside in the wind and drizzle couldn't take away from what was about to be one of the best meals I've ever had. I've never seen a sandwich packed with this much lobster before. Most restaurants give you a few chunks mixed with filler, but not at Richard's. These rolls were overflowing with big, juicy pieces and just the right amount of mayo. The bun was buttered and toasted to perfection. Honestly, this was probably one of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. If you're anywhere near PEI, do yourself a favor and go to Richard's--you won't regret it.

I got the lobster roll and it was delicious. Great amount of lobster spilling over a roll and a side of chips also. Would definitely recommend. Plenty of outdoor seating, or even go to the nearby beach by the bridge to enjoy your meal! Although FYI, if you buy any beer, you have to stay on the patio attached to the store.

    While in Charlottetown, we managed to eat our way around town. Seems to be a theme for us when we…read moretravel, discover the people and destination through their food. 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.

    While in PEI we had to get a lobster roll and we had not bookmarked Dave's, but saw it and thought…read moreit would be a good place to go. The choice of rolls here and most places are to have them cold or warm, and we found we like the cold ones better. The roll comes with a side and we both picked coleslaw. I got a local beer which was a blueberry ale that was pretty refreshing. The food was not as cheap as some places and the two letters MP (market price), typically mean I will be paying more, in this case the roll and side was over $30. There was a generous amount of lobster on the roll and it was fresh but I felt it needed either more mayonnaise or some acid to bring out the flavors. The roll was toasted though and buttery but still lacking a bit. Overall a good lunch for someone who doesn't get fresh lobster rolls often.
