Somehow, I've forgotten about The Thistle since I've been back in town and it was time to rectify…read morethat with a revisit to this rebranded mainstay of New Glasgow's food and bar scene. I'm not sure when The Thistle rebranded as a "gastropub", but not too much seems to have changed with their menu or interior. Their food offerings certainly aren't the chef-driven, creative stylings of a true gastropub. That all said, I still appreciate that these guys are open seven days a week, and are actually open beyond 7-8:00pm, unlike many other places in town. I ordered the Farmhouse burger, a now-longtime fixture of The Thistle's menu, which harkens back to the Man vs Food days of food eating challenges and mash-ups of over-the-top (and belt) menus. Comprised of a 6oz patty, two chicken fingers, bacon and cheese, it's all your day's recommended calories in one meal - so efficient! My wife went with one of her go-to choices, the pulled pork sandwich. It wasn't too too busy for a weekend evening, with a wet spring day keeping some people home, so we got our food in good time. Gastropub moniker or no, pub burgers can be a bit hit or miss, depending on how much the cooks actually give a damn about their job, but my Farmhouse turned out quite well. The patty had a nice char and wasn't dry and overcooked, while the chicken fingers and bacon added some savoury crunch. I'd generally not a fan of BBQ sauces on burgers, as the cloying sweetness really isn't necessary, but the chipotle BBQ sauce had a good flavour. The cheese was good and melty, and the bun toasted - checking some more boxes in Burger 101. The fries were *incredibly* plentiful. Like Five Guys amounts of fries! They could cut back a good 20% and no one in their right mind should complain. They were on the oily side, however. I'm not sure if this is from the fryer not being up to temp after doing some orders, or just not having a proper double fry, but this was a missed opportunity for my mound of hand-cut spuds. My wife's pulled pork sandwich was a solid execution of what's now a very common sight on bar menus. Coleslaw and lettuce brought a little texture, while a large Caesar salad was shared between us (I shared fries too, I promise!). The Thistle may be trying to pull the wool over people's eyes with this rebranding, but this dependable bar is a town fixture for a reason. This meal was more hit than miss, and for that, I'll give them a star upgrade nearly 10 years (!!!) after I first reviewed them here.

Seafood chowder isn't the sexiest food to photograph, but the chowder at Harbour House was a…read morepleasant surprise when a power outage last year forced a change of plans for mine and my wife's lunch. The chowder had tender chunks of lobster, haddock and scallops, and the creamy broth was in the Goldilocks zone of not too thick and not too thin. A lovely roll that was crisp on the outside and had a light crumb was made for dipping! My wife's chicken and brie roll with a tomato and feta soup was a light but flavourful lunch, and a solid deal at just $15. Bonus points to HH for having GF options for all of their buns and pizzas too! On a return visit after we had moved back to the county, I leaned into the pub side of the menu, and tried the house burger, which comes topped with the usual suspects, plus cheese and bacon. It was a good burger - a thick, pub-style patty, melty cheese, crisp bacon, and the bun held up well. Solid fundamentals, if no real standout elements. The fries were of the crispy-coated variety, which I'm a fan of. Oddly, the ends of each fry were much more browned than the rest, which reminded me of fries that you bake at home. Not a strike against them, it just seemed odd. My wife's shepherd's pie was a hearty plate. The spacious casserole dish was packed with meat and potatoes, and given a non-traditional slathering of melted cheese for good measure. I did my husband due diligence and finished off what my wife didn't have room for. Harbour House is doing some above average grub, especially when you know the right dishes to get.

(I'm not one of those purists that think a lobster roll should be just lobster meat on a roll; that's boring.) An adequate amount of lobster, mostly large chunks not shreds, but too much mayonnaise. Pretty expensive though at $32 including fries and coleslaw but I've seen worse. Not exactly traditional with lobster roll but I'm on a poutine kick so I upgraded the fries to poutine for an additional $4. I've had better and I've also had worse. The fries, with skins, seemed freshly made in house, the gravy ok, but a bit skimpy on the cheese curds and the pieces were too small. The coleslaw was very good, but why was the portion so skimpy? The wife's chicken sandwich (buttermilk fried chicken thigh, toasted brioche, honey hot drizzle, dill pickle slaw, mayo) was outstanding. I was thrilled to see that an excellent local cider, Rebel Rose from Island Folk in Sydney, was available, so of course I had one of those. Menu is pretty small but in addition to the sandwiches, "pub fare", and a few seafood items there are a small number of entrees (served after 4:00 PM), and some interesting appetizers and desserts. They host occasional music events (Celtic, folk, etc.) so this should be a pleasant place to spend an evening.

The chips and fries are contaminated and I wasn't offered a replacement so I just skipped them. The burger was tasty, but tiny for the price.

I was super grateful they took us late at night (20 mins before closing) and it had nice ambiance either way live music. My bf loved his meal. Unfortunately, it's just not a good option for me.

Each and every one of the 17 cast members performs splendidly. Their voices are so rich and resonant. The harmonies are perfect. Not one person was less than perfect! If you haven't read the books, the story is simple and true to the stories, and it will catch you up with who is who. The actors are perfect for each of their roles. I was particularly enamored of Diana, Gilbert, and Anne. They are mesmerizing. Marilla & Mrs. Lynde are also amazing. They have rich, mature voices & are so true to their roles as kindred spirits. The set is simple, with two major, chameleon rotating pieces. When Gilbert swims, you won't get wet, by the way. The center circle serves as a screen for several images. Costumes are beautifully made. I wish that I could have taken pictures during the show, to savor each moment in the future. But I was completely immersed in songs and stories. My memories have my photographs for future reference. If you love Anne Shirley, Gilbert, & friends and family, find a way to travel to Prince Edward Island to see this exquisite show!
