    Seafood sampler platter.
    David B.

    We stopped in for a snack as we were exploring the Digby waterfront. We had the seafood sampler. It was delicious.

    Apart from friendly and usually efficient servers, we didn't come away very happy with our several dining experiences here. Frankly, the food wasn't all that good, and it was way too pricey. So much so that we would really consider a one star review not out of line at all. For one dinner on a nice outdoor patio with sea views we ordered scallop & shrimp stir-fry ($28) , which wasn't stir-fried. It was three shrimp and three scallops sitting on top of vegetables. The scallop dinner was $38 for six scallops, admittedly very tasty. The clam chowder ($10) was as thick as a stew and not particularly flavorful. For a lunch at another one of the restaurants in the same complex (same menus) we were not pleased with dry chicken fingers and a crabapple pecan salad. At one breakfast inside we put up with over-cooked eggs (but the coffee was good). As mentioned, we did like our servers, but if a restaurant is not providing good food it's not going to rank very high on our list.

    Variety of loves: scallops, shrimps, veggies and lobster tail.

    Thankfully open till 9 pm to quell the taste for seafood on arrival in Digby. Service was excellent, not crowded and fast service.

    We had high expectations for this restaurant. We went to celebrate the 52nd birthday of my wife. We were seated right away. The place was only about half full. I ordered the baked haddock and my wife ordered the seafood stir fry. We noticed other tables around us were getting what looked like yeast rolls. Even the table right next to us. We never received any bread because the waitress never came back for us to inquire about bread. When she did come back she had the stir fry my wife ordered and some fish dish I did not order. She said oh right you ordered the baked fish. She left to go get what I ordered. My wife began to slowly eat her entree while I waited for mine. Anyway my wife had finished her meal before mine ever showed up. When you go out for a special occasion you would like to eat together. When my food did arrive the waitress half heartedly apologized. The food was as good but we got to take turns watching each other eat. They had a nice picture on the table showing a blueberry shortcake. What we actually received was a bit different. The cake was bland and hard. I wish we had a better experience on a special night.

    Sweet local spot in downtown Digby. When we got there for lunch, it was buzzing but not to crowded. We were seated, and brought ice water right away! I was on a scallop run and ordered the pan seared scallops and a small caesar salad. The scallops were very good, but varied wildly in size! There were 8 total, 3 were huge, one was medium and 4 were quite small. The salad was solid, dressing felt house made and there was plenty of parmesan and bacon. Overall enjoyed. Patrons and staff were all very friendly, we made some new Canadian friends!

    Amazing staff with great view! Food are nicely made and all came in timely manner. But the portion is somewhat small, a bit overpriced. Daily dessert is also a highlight. It is definitely a worth try!

    Excellent seafood. Loved my scallops. Awesome view. Great service. We were here off season so it was nice a quite.

    Beautiful view on the patio, good service and food was ample and good. Seemed a little pricey as scallops are local, but atmosphere has a price

    Great place for seafood in Digby that has a dock overlooking the water. Came here twice during our stay, for lunch and dinner. The view is great. Lunch experience was mixed. Got the seared scallops and fish and chips. The fish was great and done really well. Scallops were good, nothing great as was hyped about. Got White Russian and a mudslide for drinks, both of which were pretty good. For dinner, we got the combo with a pound of lobster, shrimp and scallops. The lobster was really good, the best thing we had in the restaurant. Also got the lobster chowder which was alright. Overall good experience. Seems like they have a few restaurants connected to each other and owned by the same person. Reason for 4 stars was because of the mixed service; some of the wait staff were good while some weren't. Also we got conflicting messages if they served the same menu upstairs and downstairs. Breakfast was very average.

    Nice outdoor to enjoy a sunset while sipping a local white wine and enjoying the famous Digby scallops. An excellent view on Digby harbor and the surrounding cost. The staff is so friendly and we enjoy chatting with them. We started with the local Jost Tidal bay white wine, fruity and smooth! It went very well with some wrapped bacon scallops. I had backed scallops with vegetable and my friend had the Halibut fish... both were tasty and very well cooked!

    Creepy vibe. Very conservative, kind of dull clientele. Was seated and no one approached my table for ten minutes. I left.

    You can't go to Digby and not get a feed of scallops, and what better place than an actual seafood…read moremarket? When my wife and I showed up on a Saturday afternoon, I was in luck because the scallops and fish combo was one of the daily specials, clocking in at just $21! My other half, not being a big seafood person, opted for a cheeseburger. Having arrived well after the main lunch crowd, we had our food in quick order and ate indoors, taking a break in their AC. My plate of brown, deep-fried goodness wasn't exactly a poster child for the Canada Food Guide, but it sure was good! The scallops had a light dusting of breading before hitting the fryer, and they were a perfect doneness - not too soft, and not at all rubbery. Being minimally adorned as they were, the sweetness of the scallops took its rightful spot at centre stage. The fish portion of the plate was comprised of three small filets of haddock, with a light breading on the exterior. I do prefer a crisp, airy beer batter, but the quality of the fish stole the show, as it flaked easily in solid chunks, but wasn't mushy or shredding to tiny bits. It was one of those times where the fish was so good that I only used the tartar sauce for my fries. Said fries were the standard, from-frozen fries that I think of as "diner fries", but they were good and crisp on the outside, with fluffy interiors, so they were about as good as they can be. On the upside, the fries acted as a delivery mechanism for one of the best tartar sauces I've ever had! Heavy on the minced pickle chunks, the tartar sauce had a sweetness to it that reminded me of mustard pickles (in the best possible way). When a place does a simple thing like this so well, it really make all the others that just do packets of Kraft look even worse. Although far from being the star of the show, my wife's cheeseburger was a solid, diner-style burger. Carla's was just what I was looking for while in Digby - down home style seafood that's well-executed without pretension.

    The service was good. The ambience was good. The restaurant was pretty full but had a few tables…read moreavailable. I tried the apricots chicken rapure- she said it was a French dish, basically mashed potatoes around a few chucks of chicken and then deep fried. I wasn't impressed. My husband got the wings.

    We had just gotten off a whale watch, and it was close to many restaurants' closing times…read more Everywhere we tried to go was too close to closing to let us in or they were closed. This was our only option before a 2 1/2 hour drive to Halifax. The service was good. Our server was very nice. But the food was... mediocre. The salad dressing came in little Kraft packets. The meals came with two veggie sides and mashed potatoes. The veggies -- carrots and parsnips -- tasted either canned or boiled or both. The mashed potatoes were clearly instant. I can't remember the last time I went to a restaurant and had food that was lower quality than I make in my own kitchen. The scallops were decent which was the only consolation as we had been looking forward to scallops from Digby since before our trip. The restaurant could also use a refresh. The inside looks like it's 1986. The air conditioning was also messed up and the inside of the restaurant was so cold I had to go get a long sleeved shirt from the car. And I am never cold. I rarely leave bad reviews, but I had to tell my honest opinion. I didn't even take pictures of our food which goes to show how disappointed I was.
