    Seafood Fettuccine & Lobster Sauce Poutine. Horrible.... Pasta was soupy, oily and lacked seafood... Poutine was cold and tasted dreadful
    Amanda R.

    While travelling through Yarmouth, we stayed at the Red Cap Motel & Restaurant. If I could give it a zero star rating, I would. This was quite actually one of the worst places I have ever patronized. Everything from the owner/managers displeasing attitude towards us when we checked in (like she couldn't even be bothered), dirty rooms without amenities available that were posted, to the waitress that couldn't/wouldn't take the time to answer a couple questions about the menu in the dining room. Once we placed our order, we had to remind her to bring us our beverages, and flag her down for condiments. She never came over on her own to check on us, it was as though we were an inconvenience to them all. The service was horrid. My husband got the Lobster Sauce Poutine ($12.95) and I went with the Seafood Fettuccine ($16.99). Both were very disgusting (I will post some pictures). The lobster sauce was inedible. It was cold, so cold that it didn't even melt the grated mozzarella cheese that it was topped with, and it tasted bland with fake lobster flavoring. Even the texture was off. This whole dish was wasted, and when the waitress took it away, seeing that it was not consumed, she said nothing, didn't even ask if it was good/okay/something wrong/etc. The fettuccine arrived looking okay... until it was pierced by the fork. Now the description reads: Haddock, scallops and lobster sautéed in a white wine cream sauce tossed in fettuccine pasta topped with cheese, broiled and served with garlic bread.... topped with cheese, broiled and served with garlic bread is really the only thing they got right. It was a soupy, oily mess of over cooked pasta. Although it smelled like there was fish in it, I was only able to locate what I believe to be a partial scallop and a stringy bit of a lobster leg (not claw, but small leg). For $16.99, this was yet again, a huge let down. Maybe they were having an off night (highly doubtful), but my advice: if you like food cooked properly, do not bother to venture into this establishment. We were left to look for a convenience store to buy some snacks.

    Across the street from this is the Ocean wish I took a Picture and I wish the lady that brought us here to get out the rain you are blessed

    According to a local we talked to Marv's has the best fish&chips around. Whether that's true I…read morecan't say, but I can say it was just ok. We arrived around 5:00 on a Saturday evening to an empty parking lot and dining room, and no other diners arrived during the hour we were there. I had the fried fish and clams special and the wife had the fish&chips. Both served with french fries and coleslaw. The fish and clams were fresh, though I wasn't impressed with the batter. The fries were of the generic, frozen variety, dry and uninteresting. The coleslaw was a ludicrously small thimble-sized portion but was ok, with a slightly tangy, mustardy dressing. They serve beer and wine here only, no cocktails. But beer and wine lovers alike would be disappointed. We both wanted red. The waitress didn't know what kind it was and offered to check. We saved her the trouble and said whatever they have would be fine. It turned out there wasn't enough for two portions so she split what was left into two glasses. The wife decided to have a white instead so we combined the two reds into a glass for me and the white turned out to be a pinot grigio, her new favorite. My red, not so good. The bottle had clearly been opened too long. I guess not many wine drinkers here. For beer, only big-name brands, both Canadian and, surprisingly at this time in Canada, American. No small craft brands whatsoever. The ambience was typical diner, no complaints there. The best part was dessert, which we hadn't even planned to get. At the end of the meal two were brought over, without asking and at no charge. Since they were going to be closed for the next 3 days I guess they didn't want to waste them. A peanut butter cheesecake and a chocolate cream pie, the latter which was enormous, almost two portions. Both surprisingly delicious. We only tried the pie while there, taking the cheesecake home, and thanked her and complimented her on the quality. They were both made in house by the chef. The cheesecake, which I enjoyed over the next two days, was so good I've resolved to try this more often, not being something I normally order. So, an enjoyable experience overall but I'd probably research other options if I find myself back in Yarmouth.

    My husband and I had dinner here with some family. Service was courteous but I can't say that my…read moremain was all that great. The dessert that I shared with my husband was good though. I had the Chicken Souvlaki ($18.99). It came with white rice, pita bread, salad, and tzatziki. The chicken was so dry and tough. It tasted like it was reheated multiple times over. I was so disappointed. At least it was lean breast meat and not fatty nor gristley. Dipping it in the tzatziki did help. The tzatziki was creamy and quite good. The rice, like the chicken, was also dry, and it had clumpy bits. It was also just plain white rice. I was expecting a pilaf. The salad was great though. It was a real spring mix of greens, cucumbers, tomatoes and feta cheese. Vegetables were fresh. The only thing is I asked for the dressing on the side and the salad came already dressed. It had a bit too much dressing for my liking, but wasn't too excessive. I noticed that my husband's uncle, the host of our dinner, also ordered the Chicken Souvlaki, and his plate had the salad dressing on the side (he did not request the dressing on the side). I think the server gave him my plate, and gave me his plate. He had already started eating, and the dressing on my salad wasn't excessive, plus I didn't want to have to wait for them to remake the salad, so I didn't say anything and just ate the plate that was given to me. My husband's uncle said that he was disappointed with the Chicken Souvlaki that day as the meat was dry and they "usually do better." He's a regular, so I guess they were having a bad night in the kitchen. My husband had one of the daily specials, which was a shrimp carbonara. He said it was very good. There were some in our party who had the fish and chips and they thought it was excellent. Although one person had the Cajun Haddock, which was another daily special, and thought it was tough and overcooked, but she loved the mashed potatoes. So it looks like your mileage may vary depending on what you order. My husband and I shared the Reese's Peanut Butter cake and it was rich, decadent and delicious. Others who had the homemade cheesecake with blueberry sauce loved it and one person even said it was one of the best cheesecakes he's ever had. We were a large group of 13 and our server did a great job (with the exception of swapping the "dressing on the side" Chicken Souvlaki and the "pre-dressed salad" Chicken Souvlaki). He was super friendly and welcoming. He handled our group on his own, so I can forgive the mistake. The restaurant has a bowling alley in it, as well as slot machines. They also had dart boards. It's the kind of bar/pub I would expect in a small town. There is free parking in their lot, but you can also park down by the Tourist Bureau for free, which is what we did. It's a short walk from there. There are not too many dining options in Liverpool, NS, and my husband's uncle picked this place because they could accommodate our large group and would be able to serve us all rather quickly. I wasn't thrilled with my main course, but it seems like the kitchen is usually better, or so I've been told. I might have caught them on a bad night, or they aren't used to large groups. So I guess your mileage may vary.
