Table of 8 stopped randomly after an 11 hour trip from Massachusetts. Servers and staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Mar...et. Every item ordered was exceptional...fish tacos, fish and chips, seafood chowder, lobster mac & cheese...so good. Great dining areas inside or outside. Hope to return before moving on with our vacation. read more

There was 45 min wait for food it was HOT inside and the food wasn't great. The only good dish was the maple chili wings. Their burrito bowl had no flavor and was left half uneaten read more

Came around 3pm. Lots of open tables inside and outside. So we shopped and got a snow cone then waited some more and decided to leave. Disappointed. read more

The Lost Anchor was easily our favorite place on the island -- nothing else even came close. We showed up on the later side Friday night, and the staff made us feel completely welcome and unrushed. The owners, Denise and Billy, were beyond kind and helped us surprise our friend with a carrot cake dessert for his birthday -- a small gesture that made a big impact. Hailey, our waitress, was an absolute standout: super friendly, knowledgeable, and gave spot-on recs. Every dish we had was fresh and incredible, but the garlic mussels and lobster mac and cheese stole the show. I also loved the seafood chowder, and the risotto balls were irresistible. We loved it so much we came back again! If we had more time, we would've gone a third time. This restaurant is perfect for any occasion and is super well priced. If you're on PEI, this is the place. Don't miss it!! read more

This is a world-class seafood place. I went here three times. Best chowder, lobster mac, and lobster I have ever had. The patio is lovely, and the service is great. read more

My family stayed next door at the Shining Waters Inn and we thought we'd check this place out. They serve solid, unpretentious food. The seafood chowder may have been the best I've ever had. Service was friendly but a bit slow because they were packed, so we didn't mind. read more

What a great find! We joined the waitlist upon arrival, but were informed that a large party had just been seated, so there would be a longer wait for food. I appreciated the heads-up and decided to wait. I'm so glad we did. We ordered two types of mussels, crab cakes, truffle fries, and a Caesar salad. Everything was excellent, and the service was top-notch. The drinks were great, too! read more

The Lost Anchor - Mussels! - Seafood Near Me - Cavendish, Prince Edward Island

Terrific food, service was good and inside ambiance was nice with photos of the island on the walls for sale. I recommend!

Was so happy we found this place while visited in the PEI off season. We originally wanted to eat in Avonlea village but found that all but one restaurant was closed. What a a gem this place was!! The staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was so light and casual. We had our baby with us and they were so great with him as well. Very accommodating and had a highchair for him. The food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I had lobster rolls with truffle fries and wow was it great. The perfect stop to end a picturesque day in Cavendish. read more

Food is tired can't imagine anyone making a return visit. Menu is very limited. There's no atmosphere just a dropped in for summer place. Urggh read more

The Lost Anchor - Fish tacos and homemade fries. - Seafood Near Me - Cavendish, Prince Edward Island

Best fish & chips I've ever had. Delicious calamari. I even liked the buffalo cauliflower, and I'm not usually a fan of buffalo sauce. Really great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Two pro tips: (1) Plan extra time. My only "complaint" is the service was so slow that we didn't have enough time to do all we'd planned during our short visit to PEI, but I'm not willing to ding the 5-star rating because everything else was awesome. (2) If you get the fish & chips, save yourself $9 and just get one piece of fish (or share a two piece entree). The fish portions are huge--I would've been fine with just one piece instead two. (If you're grateful for this tip, send me a buck via Venmo: @R-P-2009) read more

The Lost Anchor - Huge fish pieces! Best I've ever had! - Seafood Near Me - Cavendish, Prince Edward Island

Everything. Food and staff are amazing. Young staff and they were very much in control on a very busy night.

The food was so so good! Our family of 5 was in PEO for the first time and The Lost Anchor was by far our favourite dining experience.

Visiting from Ottawa, we were looking for the best stop for some fish and chips. We ordered mussels, fish tacos, fish and chips and seafood chowder, and everything was amazing. No notes. Best seafood meal our family has ever had. Excellent service, prices were more than fair -- we don't feel the need to eat anywhere else for our whole trip on the island. read more

Place was empty for a Wednesday lunch. Servers were nice. Food was decent. Calamari were overcooked beyond belief. Lobster Mac was good. Chicken tacos were delicious. Arancini appetizer was great. Would give it another try. read more

So glad we found this instead of the other Green Gables' tourist traps! Mandy, our server, was phenomenal. Very polite, efficient, hospitable, and made for an easy and comfortable experience. Food was good, service was great. Will definitely return when we're in the area again. read more

Very friendly staff made this stop for dinner delightful. The location was good and near a nice beach. We tried the fish and chips, the French dip (which my daughter said was one of the best that she has had), and the burrito bowl and were happy with each of them. We will definitely be back on our next trip. read more

Lobster slider was ok, needed more flavour. The coleslaw they put with it was strange - looked like apple mixed with vinegar.

The food was delicious but the customer service and wait time was horrendous. It took me and my family almost half an hour just to get our orders taken, and we waited in the restaurant for an hour and 45 minutes before getting our food. Our server forgot to put in our order and rarely came to check in on us at the table, it was like we didn't exist for almost two hours. People who came in way after us received full meals while we were still waiting for ours, and they prioritized the people sitting outside over the people sitting inside. read more

We added ourselves to the waitlist while at our nearby accommodations. When we arrived there was quite a group of people waiting but we didn't have to wait long. Our server was friendly and warm. My partner and I both had the seafood chowder which was delicious. When I'd checked reviews online before we went the chowder seemed to come with a homemade biscuit. We both got one slice of baguette with ours which was a bit of a disappointment but otherwise we were happy. My daughter got the children's Mac and cheese which was a good portion of Cavatappi noodles with a nice cheddar sauce. A pleasant departure from the standard kids mac and cheese offerings and she devoured it, then got a mini ice cream sandwich at the end of her meal. read more

What a great atmosphere for a meal on Prince Edward Island! If you're in the Cavendish area, this is the place to stop for lobster roll and fish and chips. The wait staff was super friendly and it was a nice clean place. If you sit up top on the porch, you can just barely see the ocean, but you can see it. Very nice stop for a family of four. read more

Lobster Mac and cheese had no flavour and broken sauce. Others enjoyed their meals more.

Food was great, outdoor sitting and for as busy as it was the service was super fast.

Hey, you have to have mussels when you visit PEI, and these were delicious and large. Quite a sizable helping at a reasonable price. We also had the seafood chowder (delicious, and full of fish, lobster, and mussels in addition to potato and bacon) and the fish tacos. Staff was super friendly. This is a small place, so it took a bit of time for our food to come out but it was worth the wait. read more

We arrived the last weekend it was open for the season. Server was so gracious and told us what items were still available. Luckily it matched what we wanted and had the best PEI mussels. Then the server wrote down the restaurants that would be open in October. We went back the next night it was so good. Loved the theme and decor too. read more

I just got back from my trip to PEI and I HAVE to write a review. My friend saw that The Lost Anchor has all 5 star ratings across the board on trip advisor, so we decided to give it a try (I'm still trying to convince her to get a Yelp). If you are visiting or live on PEI and are by Green Gables, GO HERE. The owner was extremely nice and asked us if we had questions about the menu, and is one of the best business owners I've ever met. The lobster rolls are huge and jam packed with lobster in a homemade mayo. And you can tell that it's homemade too. I had the lobster roll with the PEI potato salad, which is a salad with hunks of potato on top, and I don't think I can ever eat salad the same again. The owner then brought us out a plate of her homemade donuts with a triple fudge brownie she made that was to die for. We decided then and there we are making the 16 hour journey every year just to go and get the lobster roll and food from the lost anchor because it was that amazing. Absolutely incredible. 500 star rating. read more

We really enjoyed our visit to Lost Anchir. The food was delicious & our waitress Denice, was fun & engaging. We never expected such great food at a little place. We started w mussels to share, they were cooked w bacon & mushrooms w a great sauce, some of the best I've had. The chowder was outstanding! Very rich & creamy w lots of seafood. One of our group had a cheeseburger which was described as very good. Overall, a great lunch, very reasonable with nice folks. read more

Our family were there in July 31, 2022, arrived a little after 6:00pm, was told there was no seat, not allowed to wait nor could get take-out. No explaination. What a rude, unresonable attitude and service to customers. It shouldn't happen nor be tolerated. read more

Lovely evening on PEI CavendishResort Area. Menu ranged from high teens to $32 range. Not a bad selection but most was fried. Having to choose the blackened halibut with whipped garlic potatoes, Swiss char and cannied beets was very tasty and well presented. Everything was cooked to perfect consistency. It was the most expensive item on menu but worth it. Other had fish and chips .....fair batter was to crunchy because too thick. I prefer a lighter batter. The atmosphere was fine and waitress was pleasant but wasn't quite familiar with menu. Had to ask about the veggie served with halibut. Didn't know either. Overall it was a nice evening on the upper patio outside. read more

Very good food and a diverse menu. Good for kids as well. Much better thN the other Cavendish options.

Nice service. Clean establishment. Fish and Chips and Lobster Roll were good. Coleslaw and tarter sauce were very good. Fries were good, but a bit cold. Kids menu available. read more

Fast friendly service .I had the blueberry haddock and it was great.my hubby had the scallops and was equally happy .

What a great little find! Fantastic chowder and the buttered lobster roll was perfectly balanced between the fluffy, buttery lobster and the toasty, warm roll. And the fall salad was so fresh and flavorful. All served quickly with friendly staff. Enjoy it with a cold beer on the upper deck on a sunny afternoon. Don't pass this one by! read more

They took over an hour to bring our food and served people who came in 50 minutes after us were served before us and the chicken sandwich was insanely burnt and not edible 0/10 do not recommend. They make you wait over an hour to be seated even though they say 15-20 minutes. There are also a ton of fly inside the building that land on your food and bug you through out the whole time you are eating. The lemonade was just lemon water and the lobster was so cold that you couldn't bite into it. The fries were uncooked. read more

The Lost Anchor - The chicken sandwich - Seafood Near Me - Cavendish, Prince Edward Island

Our favorite dinner spot during our stay in Cavendish. The rooftop is great, beautiful views of the ocean and sunset. Delicious seafood chowder, mussels, scallops and fish & chips. Really good lobster at the best price on our trip. Lots of different cheesecakes for dessert, which my family loved, but were a little too sweet for me. Great service too. Get on the wait list before you go. read more

Excellent food, great prices and some of the best service I've received in Canada! I am so happy that I was able to experience this place before leaving PEI. If you're in the area (most likely on a pilgrimage to see Anne or L.M. Montgomery) you have to stop here. The star of this place is their house-made mayonnaise. It's got spices and tomatoes in it, so don't expect Hellmann's. I had it on the delicious Scallop Burger (grilled scallops, island lettuce, bacon and mayo on a potato bun) and got the side of grilled potato salad - also a standout. Grilled PEI potatoes on island greens with tomato, cucumber feta cheese and balsamic vinaigrette. So, so yummy. The scallops were also tender and full of flavor. They really know what they're doing here. Other favorites at the table were the beef burger, fish tacos and the French fries. Anything with potatoes as the main ingredient on PEI is going to be delicious. Don't miss your chance to have some really great seafood while you're in Cavendish. read more

What an adorable place and great story. Clean, bright with friendly service. Good with allergies. Oddly empty for noon on. Sunday. Today we had: Lobster roll with side onion rings Kid's cheese quesadilla I don't think it is hard to make a good lobster roll. This place though, they elevated the lobster roll by making it generously sized and on a really delicious roll. Bravo! Edit -taking off one star for not taking credit cards and for the washrooms that we used on the way out. read more
