Will never attempt to visit this place again based on the attitude and lack of customer service. Either answer your phone or change your hours from closing at 9pm to 8pm. Will advise others at our resort to avoid this place since we ended up having to drive to Kensington and end up eating a pizza and sub. Thanks for nothing.

Our group ended up having to sit separately because the waitress was concerned about not being able to walk around a larger table, which seemed unfounded and a concern that was waitress centered rather than customer centered. When asked about closing a window because cold air was affecting some in our party, same waitress said it was not possible because the kitchen needed the air... Well... five minutes later, the customers that took the table near the window simply closed the window to avoid the cold wind... Two for two! Not a great beginning. Ordered seafood chowder and fish and chips. What would you expect? Yes... seafood chowder is served first and once customers are done with it ... you bring the fish and chips. Logical, right? Not here. They brought everything together, which meant the fish and chips got cold while we had the chowder. Third strike... Anything else? Let me say this, the fried fish, in my opinion, was not great. First, you could taste "stale" oil (old oil). This alone turned me off. Second, there was little fish and a lot of breading, I'd say 70% breading 30% fish. So, if you combine oil taste with very thick breading you get what I got. To eat the fish I had to take the breading apart. On a positive note, the seafood chowder was excellent. As Luc B. review pointed out, it is a very basic family and kid friendly setting.

My only cons were that the floor was a bit dirty with food and crumbs, and a few annoying house flies joined us to eat. Other than that had a great lunch!

It cost extra (~$60 IIRC) for a lobster lunch. We were each served a lobster and in the centre of the restaurant, they had trays of side dishes (self-serve). I don't remember all the side dishes but there were salads, soup, mussels. One con was that these didn't seem to get refilled as much as they should've throughout our lunch here (though we were told it would be constantly refilled). If you are part of a tour, my tip would be to fill your plate on the first round with whatever you think you'll eat. I usually take small portions and just get more after, but there was no more in this case. :') For the most part, the service was great. Our food was served almost immediately after being seated. The servers were very friendly. Food wasn't bad. I found my lobster to be just a teensy bit overcooked but the food is rarely ever perfect when you're part of a tour, because they have to prepare so much all at once.

Our family has to navigate life with a severe nut allergy, so we were impressed when the staff took the time to discuss with us exactly which menu items were made in-house and safe. It's a mom and pop operation, they talked about how hard it was to find consistency and quality from the suppliers during -and after- the pandemic. We were able to find several food options for my son, and for him we ordered fried fish with a side of poutine. He was in heaven. Well, we all were, actually, because the seafood was delish. We even returned later for soft serve ice cream because they guaranteed it was nut-free. My kid has only had ice cream from a commercial restaurant maybe 2 or 3 times in his life, so it was a very rare and welcome treat. We definitely recommend Captain Scott's - both for their food and also for their family's friendliness and service. We love this place. Thank you!
