In reading all the national press about PEI's recent political debacles, one of the funniest public…read morecomments I came across was: "It's 11 o'clock in Toronto, 1953 in PEI". In many ways, this is true (certainly over at the Legislative Assembly, where Boss Tweed seems to have been reincarnated multiple times in the guise of an uneducated gang of greedy island fops). So every new food initiative which opens on PEI, whether it be a restaurant, a chip stand, or a food truck, is a small but very welcome miracle. Food restores the soul, and reminds us that there is hope. Recent rumbles of concern over in Summerside about there possibly being too many food trucks (uh, I believe they have three or four now... not exactly the Charge of the Light Brigade) is typically foolish small town politics and parochialism- it's just so darn silly you have to laugh or you will cry. So it is a very fortunate thing that Chef Norman, originally from Nicaragua, raised in Costa Rica, has brought his delicious concoctions and his warm and welcoming personality to the streets of this small island city. Menu items include a drop-dead delicious poutine with Norman's own home made gravy, beautifully seasoned pulled pork sandwiches, poboy sandwiches, fresh fish tacos, fried oyster tacos, a real caesar salad; and there's always something new which Chef Norman is more than willing to describe to you in minute detail (like the way he uses a local garlic guy's very own home made "black garlic"' liquified into a fabulous sauce. Mmmm. Mmmm. Gooooood!! This guy is a gem, and his cooking positively shimmers with inventiveness. Go. Eat. Live.

There's hardly anything to choose from, and it's very over priced for what you get. The poutine is only one size and is actually mozza fries with hardly any cheese or gravy, and you hardly get any fries. My friends got regular sandwiches (turkey sandwiches, BLT) and liver and onions, even though that's not what they wanted, there was just hardly anything else to choose from! I wanted soup but they didn't have it on the menu, it was on a small chalk board that you can't see while you're sitting, I seen it while I was going to the bathroom, so after I ordered I was very disappointed to see they actually did have soup. The only thing I liked about this place was the prices of drinks and how kind our waiter was. If you're looking for a meal, maybe try Frank & Gino's.

No potato filler, real lobster, and delicious, creamy soup. Literally has a tasty seafood morsel in every bite. Hubbies had a decent Chef's Salad and I also had a yummy grilled cheese sandwich on homemade bread. Side Buns were homemade as well but a bit crumbly. Everything was tasty but the stR of the show was definitely the Chowder, can't say enough good things about it! Reasonable price, solid portions. Not fancy but definitely worth a visit.

We stopped in just before closing and the owners were very kind to take our last minute order.

We also enjoyed the company of Terry, the owner, as we waited for our food. I highly recommend this spot for great food and friendly service!

I ordered then morning eggs - the eggs were poached so perfectly, the game was delicious - the potatoes were old, stale and cold. She offered to get me new ones but I couldn't be bothered to wait, I like eating my food together. I didn't ask for one or cause a scene but I like be lying if I said I didn't expect some sort of small discount on my meal - as I ultimately paid over $20 for two poached eggs, two peices of ham, toast and a small bowl of fruit. The next day we went back for pastries, I had the apple almond croissant. It was not fresh, it was hard and I'm going to guess it was made the day before - I wasted $6 on something not edible. Which made me wish even more I had been given a discount the day before. The restaurant itself is lovely - great ambiance, comfortable seating and staff are friendly.

Our main course was crispy cod tails on lemon risotto topped with a terrific sauce of caramelized corn. The sauce was spicy and made the dish. For desert we had a lovely blueberry concoction with the unappealing name of "blueberry grunt"! This wasn't foodie food but super fresh ingredients prepared simply and beautifully. After dinner we moved into the main dining room for a terrific musician playing mostly NS folk music. All in all it was a great evening. Great food, great music, friendly people.

We were keeping a close eye on time. At 6:48 we asked about the order and we were told it had only been 20 mins. Not true! At 7:10- still no sign of food - so at 7:13 we decided to get it all to go. We left a 10% tip despite slow service. The other table of four had been served, had eaten, and left by 7:05. I ordered fish and chips. Batter bit thick so uncooked inner dough in few places but fish was delicious. The chips??? I'm just going to post a picture showing total - quantity minus one chip - couldn't eat them! Cole slaw delicious. If you go before a show give them two hours! I honestly think the order was held up. Maybe lots of orders ahead?? but that other table had plenty of time!
