First time here but might give it another try. This was previously the Trattoria where the pizza…read morewas pretty good. Same oven but renos have been done. We opted to sit outside where there is a very large but weird set up of multiple mismatched gazebos along the side and another patio out back where staff smokes in the open right next to propane tanks. Quite a shocker to see and pretty gross while you're eating to being with. The patio was full of dry leaves and didn't look like anyone was interested in sweeping them up. That part aside, the service was good but we were the only ones there during a busy summer touristy day (4 PM) so that would be the bare minimum we'd expect. Server made a mistake but apologized so it wasn't a big deal. The pizzas need work. The taste is really good but the crust was either too thin or just not cooked long enough. Besides the raised sides, both pizzas were completely soggy; we had to roll them into tight little taquitos to eat them. There was no other way, not even with cutlery. It's really too bad because the ingredients are good quality and these could be really nice pizzas with the flavour. If we had to choose again, we'd probably just go to Lightfoot & Wolfville for the same price but a fail-proof pizza. Payment machine doesn't work outside so be prepared to go up to the counter to pay. We'll give this place one more shot because it has potential but the lack of patrons at such a busy time makes us wonder if this is just how it is.

Decided to take a tour of the brewery late June '24 and thoroughly enjoyed it. You can purchase…read moretickets online, as there is an eight person limit per tour. Situated on Main Street, it's a very nice bar with a cosy street patio, a shop within and a bar at the back. I've had a number of their ciders before, notably at my favourite pub in Chester, which set me on my exploration of Nova Scotia's excellent ciders. Our guide was great fun and the head brewer, who was busy down below, was very interesting. As well as mainstream, mostly conventional ciders, he loves to experiment with different hops and fruit infusions to produce some wildly different varieties and flavours. Not all will be to all tastes, ranging from pungent and sweet, to subtle and somewhat sour, rich to bone dry, clear to cloudy, but what I can say for certain is that everyone will find something they like. The varieties are mostly single batch, so what you get depends on when you visit. While I mostly like my cider simple and dry, the vast array of flavours is well worth a deep dive. Top spot!

While on a jaunt through the Valley and the Acadian Shore for our tenth (!!!) anniversary, my wife…read moreand I had dinner at Juniper on our first night in Wolfville. It was a lovely and warm, late spring evening, but we ate inside since we were on the later side, and there's still a big difference between dining al fresco in June versus July or August. The interior was subtlely decorated with a light sage green paint that paired well with some mirrors and frames that give an art deco vibe, with just a dash of country decor to keep things from getting too pretentious. The menu is compact, but how enticing nearly everything sounded was encouraging! We ended up getting one of the daily specials - roasted king oyster mushrooms - as one of our starters, as well as baked potato beingets, and the spring risotto and Hopgood's Hot Chicken Sandwich for our mains. The toothsome mushrooms had a great, savoury taste, while the snap peas popped with their signature crunch and bright, vegetal flavour. Wisps of rasped cheese added salty goodness, and some edible flavours brightened the dish up further. I had ordered the baked potato beignets to flesh out my meal since the chicken sandwich is a la carte, but you don't really need a reason to get these other than the fact that they are absolutely incredible! The beignets themselves were fantastic; having never been to New Orleans, I don't have a good point of reference but they were wonderfully crispy on the outside and soft and doughy on the inside, so it's hard to see where they might gone wrong. The baked potato-style toppings amped it up further, with sour cream, smoked cheddar, bacon and chives. I could swear that there was some serious garlic flavour in there was well, but maybe the smoky cheese was throwing my taste buds off. My Hopgood Hot Chicken Sandwich (TM) was a top-notch, fried chicken sandwich. The big piece of thigh had a thick, ultra crispy breading, and pleasant layer of heat from a dousing of hot sauce. Some coleslaw brought a little bite and the creamy "comeback sauce" evened out the heat of the chicken. The toasted, sesame seed-dotted bun held up admirably well to the delicious hot mess within. My wife's spring risotto wowed as soon as we saw the verdant green dish, with asparagus and wild leeks lending their signature, springtime flavours, with further bright bursts from the preserved lemon and pear shoots. Service was relaxed and friendly thought our meal. It's especially satisfying when a destination meal lives up to the hype, and Juniper was firing on all cylinders for our meal with spot-on flavours, execution, ambiance and service.

The menu changes to what is fresh and it was a bit late in the season so it was a bit limited. We started with the beef tartare which was different from what we expected as it had an Asian twist but it was delicious. Also had the oysters with the chefs own fresh hot sauce, also tasty. My wife had the crispy skin salmon which was supposed to come with leaks and peppers but she doesn't like peppers so the chef graciously whipped up a fantastic cauliflower with hazelnut brown butter which was fantastic. I had the pork Milanese with prosciutto basil green beans which was exceptional. If you have room for it don't miss the chocolate eclair for desert, it is heavenly.

Very disappointing since it's here, their website and FB. I settled on the nachos. The hot peppers are fresh from a pickle bottle, served on the side wet and the salsa was some form of soup concoction. That tasted ok, but far too wet to use on nachos. During most of my meal, there was a cleaner going crazy upstairs vacuuming. It detracted what little ambiance the place has.

Of the three stalls in the women's washroom, two stalls had nasty unflushed floaters in the toilets. While some people choose to be pigs, I immediately let staff know so that it could be cleaned up. The staff apologized and headed in to address the situation. Really unfortunate that some people could be so disgusting and not even figure out how to flush a toilet! With that out of the way, the portions were huge, the food was great and the service friendly. This is a great place with lots of seating options both private and not. Parking right out front is easy and often available.

The ambiance is very comfortable, you can seat yourself at any open space you'd like. Their food is good, their burgers are really good, I quite enjoy their fried chicken sandwich. Their fish and chips are also really good, with big pieces of fish and crispy fries. The nachos are really good, made the mistake of ordering the "regular" size and it was too big for just 2 of us, but it was for sure tasty with fresh ingredients. We also like their deep fried pepperoni with the mustard dipping sauce it comes with. Another part I really enjoy with this place is their homebrewed beers. I personally really enjoy the blueberry beer they have (I believe during the summertime) and the raven ale. You can get a growler of their beers to take home and enjoy and it is very affordable, I believe $15 for a growler of the raven ale. Parking is street parking, but if the streets are full, which it rarely is, there is the town parking lot not too far from this place. Oh, and I should add, this place also has a pretty decent arcade/games room upstairs and a banquet hall to be rent or host events like a comedy show. Service is great, the servers are very pleasant and the food comes out quick and hot.
