I'm afraid I'm in the minority out of the four of us when it comes to this review. I would have…read morerated it a 2 or 3. At this point in our vacation I wanted to move away from fried/ broiled fish/ lobster & scallops which has been the main draw to many of the places we've tried. What better change than having some Austrian food. Not many places offer Wiener Schnitzel & Spatzle but this one does. The breading on the Schnitzel was very good but overall I was disappointed in the seasoning and the dish in general. The Spatzle was very dry and came with neither a gravy for the top or some cheese mixed through it. Another member of our group also had the Spatzle as a side dish and thought the same. What was throughly enjoyed were the Scallops, Scallop and Haddock and the Lobster Linguine. This apparently just wasn't my night because I was not impressed with the $13 Ice Cream with Tia Marea dessert either. The owner was nothing like the Yelper's review of a year ago thank goodness. Although she didn't make the rounds during the night, she did stop by the table to see how our meal was. So, give it a try and see what you think. Most tables were taken the entire night and remember I was outvoted in our group!

Stopped in and asked if we needed a reservation for dinner. The owner came up to me and said,"we…read morewill not server you". My assumption was bc we didn't have reservations which is completely understandable. However the extreme rudeness of the owner was an unacceptable response to my simple question. The quality of the food could not make up for the rudeness of the owner. I recommend visiting another more appreciative dining establishment in Annapolis Royal.

Our server (co-owner?) was gracious, friendly, excellent. We enjoyed the ocean view as we ate and had conversation. The prices were fair and the portions generous. We very highly recommend this restaurant. We thought this was the best food we've had in Nova Scotia.

Came back for dinner last week with the NS family and had a wonderful meal. We were seated inside,…read moreas it was a bit chilly, but walked outside after dinner to take pictures on the back deck with the most wonderful views!! I was with a large group, we brought wine with us and wine glasses were brought to the table immediately, along with ice water and warm rolls. I ordered the haddock, those around me went with scallops, mussels and seafood chowder and everything was fresh and delicious. My only suggestion is with the vegetable side, which appears to always be peas and carrots...I guess I would check in with the customer on that when ordering. I had no idea that peas and carrots were automatic, I don't eat cooked carrots, and they could have been saved for another customer. Dessert was a BIG hit with the group. Three ordered GIGANTIC slices of coconut cream pie and one, a most perfect slice of strawberry rhubarb with cold house made vanilla ice cream slowly melting on the top. Overall, a lovely night. A comfortable restaurant, where you can dress up if you wish, or not, with extremely fresh seafood prepared excellently.

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.

How could we pass through Digby without trying some scallops? After all it's known as the "scallop…read morecapital of the world", and this is apparent from the many fishing boats in the picturesque harbour. Wanting a quick lunch rather than a fancy meal this place looked ideal. It was. I thought it was only takeout but they do have a dining room, where we sat. Order at the counter and they bring it when ready, but it's not full service. We both got a fried scallop plate, served with fries, coleslaw, and homemade tartar sauce. The scallops were very large, absolutely fresh, and with a light batter. Generous portion size. The fries were decent and the tartar sauce was interesting, heavy on the pickles. Coleslaw light and tangy rather than creamy, but as usual in seafood platters, not enough. There's also fish&chips, shrimp, and a few things like burgers for non-seafood-lovers. And poutine! There's also a seafood market next door. Lots of options. Since we were traveling fresh fish wasn't needed but I did buy some dried salt cod; I can't seem to resist when I see it. Now I need to figure out what to do with it.
