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.

We received a $25 voucher when we checked in to the lovely hotel. Gorgeous views and a nice outdoor balcony. Very tall ceilings made it very comfortable. Friendly service and good with allergies. It got quite busy with many tables arriving about 10 minutes after we did which meant that service got slower toward the end of our meal, but not unreasonably so. Kid's menu was extensive. My kid was really happy about the fudgesicle dessert option. Nice that she could have a side of raw carrots instead of fries she did not want - although we ended up eating the carrots. We also had: Fresh baguette with butter Fresh pasta special which was lobster tagliatelle in a butter-wine sauce with tons of fresh herbs and lobster distributed throughout. Delicious! Brined chicken was also yummy with a special shoutout for the mashed potatoes. Wild Blueberry cobbler (ordered without the ice cream), made in house and served warm. Unfortunately they put the ice cream on it, but they realized and offered to make another fresh, which I declined because it took 10 minutes to make. It had a nice lemony hint to it. Coffee was good, nicely served with plenty of milk and cream for choice. Overall, quality local ingredients shone through the meal.

All 4 meals were mediocre at best and for the price point you expect more. I had Surf and Turf the steak was bland and Luke warm as were the potatoes and veg. The lobster was hot so I'm guessing there was a timing issue in the kitchen. I would not recommend this restaurant the only problem is that the resort is so isolated you have few choices. Better to go to the coop down the street buy a few steaks and BBQ them yourself you'll save $200 and have a great meal. On another note the service staff were very good, if we weren't already starving with no where else to go we would have sent 3 of 4 meals back.

From your seat at the bar, the view out the window stretches across St. Peter's Bay. Julio's passion for oysters is contagious. What starts as a casual tasting quickly becomes a crash course in oyster appreciation you didn't know you needed. We had a flight of oysters from different parts of the island, each with its own personality--some sharp and briny, others sweet and creamy. Julio explained how the water temperature, time of harvest and even the currents in each bay create these differences. It's the kind of knowledge that changes how you taste everything that follows. Lemon, horseradish, and hot sauce are available though (gently) discouraged --and for good reason. Once you've tried a fresh oyster, you understand that nothing else is necessary. The oysters themselves were outstanding--harvested and served within hours, as fresh as anything you'll find in PEI. But what makes Julio's stand out isn't just the freshness; it's the education that comes with it. You leave not only having eaten incredible oysters, but also knowing why they tasted the way they did. Friendly, informative, and genuinely passionate--Julio's Oyster Express is more than a great meal. It's one of those rare experiences that leaves you with both a satisfied stomach and a better understanding of what's on your plate.
