Disclaimer: I have never actually eaten at Maids (I'm not from PEI but moved here a few years ago…read moreso this is shameful to the locals...) BUT my BF did bring me home this amazing MEGA cinnamon roll. This review is strictly on the cinnamon roll, 5/5!! Massive and with the crisp type of pastry dough (not bready or yeasted). Sweet and delightful and I'm told you can order it with or without frosting. Can't wait to try the full breakfast!!

The chai latte was really good (made from scratch chai tea leaves vs pre-made mix), and served in a lovely large ceramic mug that gave me the "stay awhile" vibe. Hubby had a black coffee and a REALLY yummy breakfast sandwich (the toasted bread really made the sandwich), and the ingredients inside were fresh and flavorful. Nice mix of locals working inside and folks stopping by for a quick bite. Loved the interior. Really nice worker greeted us as soon as we came in and explained the seating/service options. We'd go back!

We sat outside, enjoying the summer air and watching the downtown hum along. The food here leans simple but thoughtful. The Island Hot Cake was fluffy and satisfying, and the Fry Up breakfast (with bacon) hit all the right notes--especially the potatoes. Maybe it's just PEI magic, but even as a side, they stand out. Our lattes and matcha latte were smooth and well-crafted, and the pacing felt unhurried in the best way. Service was friendly without being overbearing, and it's the kind of place where you can linger with your coffee without feeling rushed. If you're in Charlottetown and want a reliably good breakfast with a quality cup of coffee, Receiver is worth the stop--especially if you can grab a patio seat.

It was a bright and sunny August afternoon and we had finished perusing the butterfly garden up the…read morehill. We strolled down through the beautiful gardens to the restaurant perched on the riverbanks. The restaurant does not optimize for volume or turnover and we had a 45 minute wait. We enjoyed the adjoining shop and their selection of jams and spread. The wait was worth it! The room is a bright large room overlooking the river. Handmade quilts hang from the ceiling. We started with nachos, that had the right blend of cheese and toppings. Unfortunately there were no side plates brought, causing us to eat like animals from a common trough. A slight mishap with a spilled glass of water interrupted our otherwise pleasant appetizer. The server's attention was less than prompt causing us to get extra napkins from directly behind the counter. Still, we soldiered on and prepared for the main feast. The seafood chowder was one of the better ones all trip. Fresh and flavourful pieces in a cream broth, served with a fresh side biscuit. The real opportunity is to highlight the delicious jams and spreads from the shop which would add some much needed flavour to the biscuits. Other meals included kids pasta, kids jam sandwich, a club sandwich, fish cakes and a Caesar salad. All were promptly devoured. A great location with fresh food and pleasant service. Worth the wait!

Second night ordered a Cosmopolitan and a vodka tonic, mussels and house salad and lobster roll and beet salad. Lobster roll tasted like tuna salad...on a hamburger bun. Sent it back. Ordered the cheese toasty...came hot on top and the center (onions) were very cold. The beet salad was good. Used some of the bread to dip in partner's mussels juice. Left the sandwich. Was offered to order again, but declined. Strangest thing... the Cosmopolitan (had two) were a dollar more the second night. The waitress and manager were both very nice and accomodating. Would return and order mussels and beet salad.

I saw the 4.7 rating on Google and went in with pretty high expectations. Based on our experience…read moretonight, I was somewhere between 2 and 3 stars, but I'm rounding up to 3 because I'd rather leave constructive feedback than just trash a place. We kept it pretty simple: two burritos and an order of nachos. A few positives first. I really appreciated the cold carafe of water being dropped at the table right away without having to ask. I also loved the two hot sauces served in the short bottles. Being able to add as much heat as I wanted definitely helped the meal. The al pastor on the nachos had good flavor too--I could really taste the pineapple, although I think the meat would have benefited from a much harder caramelization. Unfortunately, the biggest issue was execution. The nachos were very sloppily assembled. The toppings weren't dispersed throughout the chips, so probably 40-50% of the chips were basically bare. There was very little brightness or freshness to the dish--hardly any pico de gallo, no salsa available, and things like pickled jalapeños or even a little chopped cilantro would have made a huge difference for pennies. Instead, it was mostly refried beans, meat, some partially distributed cheese, and a small squirt of sour cream. I ordered a side of guacamole for $6.50 and received what looked like maybe 3-4 tablespoons. That's pretty difficult to justify. The burritos were the biggest disappointment. They were served cut completely in half, which seems unnecessary for a dry, handheld burrito. It leaves you eating two open ends instead of being able to pick up a properly wrapped burrito and eat it normally. More importantly, they were incredibly dry. Looking inside, everything seemed piled into the center--rice, lettuce and protein--with very little pico or anything else to bring moisture, acidity or freshness. There isn't salsa available to compensate, either. I ordered a side of pico for another $5.50 and received maybe 1/4 cup. Even after adding that, I found myself using a ridiculous amount of hot sauce and salt just trying to wake everything up and add some moisture. The food also wasn't particularly hot temperature-wise. Service was okay but pretty middle-of-the-road. Our server got us started, but after that we barely saw him. They also don't offer a non-alcoholic beer, which was disappointing. Maybe we caught them on an unusually busy night or toward the end of a long shift, because the 4.7 rating suggests plenty of people have had much better experiences. But based strictly on what we were served, the food needs much tighter execution--better distribution of ingredients, more freshness and moisture, hotter food, and considerably better value on the add-ons. There were a couple of good flavors in there, particularly the al pastor, but overall this was a frustrating meal and not one I could rate higher than 3 stars.

Perfect! Charlottetown is lucky to have this spot! Authentic tasty Mexican right down town! Cute…read morelittle spot that compliments the bright flavours. Guac was super fresh, quesabirra broth was superb, and enchiladas were tangy and bright. Service could be at tad faster in regards to checking in on the table but I think they will iron out the kinks as they settle in. Despite that, food is out fast and hot! Parking is street parking, paid during day but free after 5pm and on weekends, can be tricky downtown but often will get lucky and get a close spot. Otherwise worth a little stroll to get there if you park further away. Accessibility: not currently wheelchair or mobile device accessible as there is porch stairs to get in. Tables would be okay to get a wheelchair under once inside though. Didn't use the bathroom so unsure how that would be. Great veggie options, not sure about vegan. Good servings and definitely don't miss the tres leche cake!

We sat by the front windows, and when I walked through the intimate dining room it looked inviting as well. There isn't a lot of seating, and Pedro does all the cooking, so reservations are a must, as they fill up fast and stayed busy the entire time we were there. Pedro came over introduced himself and asked how were our meals. Everything was delicious. My husband was a wonderful chef, and the seafood linguine was bathed in a sauce that replicated my hubby's! He died 8 years ago, so this was a pleasant surprise that brought back some sweet memories. Definitely a yes!
