The Seafood Basket with (fried) Haddock, Clams, Scallops and Coconut Shrimp with crispy fries was also a hit. Fancy dishes for the coleslaw, tartare sauce, ketchup and cocktail sauce - nope. Did I care - nope ! This unassuming restaurant attached to a garden shop was crowded the entire time we were there. It was around 2:30 in the afternoon on a Tuesday when we arrived and almost every table was taken the entire time. We were all full and couldn't eat dessert so we bought 3 different ones to take with us to have later. (This is later - the Bucket of Mud, the Coconut Cream Pie and the Chocolate Cake were all good to very good) If nearby, give it a try.

Nous avions réservé à ce restaurant en espérant une belle soirée pour notre famille de cinq…read morepersonnes -- un souper spécial pendant nos vacances, à près de 360$. Lors de la réservation, nous avions bien précisé que nous souhaitions une table avec vue sur la baie. Or, en arrivant, on nous a offert deux choix : une table à l'extérieur (en pleine saison des mouches à chevreuil) ou une salle sans vue, à l'arrière. Nous avons demandé poliment s'il était possible d'être assis dans la section vitrée, qui semblait pourtant partiellement vide. On nous a répondu que cette section ne pouvait accueillir de groupes de 5, alors qu'à l'œil, des tables de 4 étaient juste à côté de tables de 2 -- facilement combinables. Le serveur a ensuite changé plusieurs fois de justification : il fallait que ce soit précisé dans la réservation (ça l'était), puis que l'autre salle était " réservée ", et finalement qu'il n'y aurait " pas assez d'espace pour les serveurs " (un argument difficile à croire, ayant moi-même été en restauration). Bref, malgré notre réservation anticipée, nous avons été placés à l'écart, sans vue. Le service n'a malheureusement pas rattrapé l'expérience : nos plats ont mis une heure à arriver, alors que les enfants -- pourtant calmes et affamés -- attendaient. Le serveur n'a jamais proposé de pain ou d'amuse-bouche en attendant. Une fois les assiettes à peine terminées (et même pas toutes), il a commencé à les ramasser avec empressement, en demandant s'il pouvait déjà emballer les frites du garçon qui n'avait pas fini. Aucune file d'attente à la porte, rien qui justifiait cette précipitation. Puis, clou de la soirée : alors que nous comptions prendre un dessert, finir notre vin et peut-être un digestif, le serveur nous a lancé : " J'imagine que vous êtes pleins et que vous allez prendre une crème glacée dans le village? "... Ce genre de commentaire, après un repas aussi coûteux, laisse un goût amer. Mon conjoint l'a interpellé, et il s'est immédiatement excusé, mais le mal était fait. La nourriture était correcte, sans plus. À ce prix-là, on s'attendait à une expérience culinaire soignée : les huîtres (26$ pour 6) sont arrivées sans cuillère pour la mignonnette, sans sauces ni explication. En résumé : ce restaurant semble réservé à une certaine clientèle. Si vous y allez avec des enfants ou des ados, oubliez la belle vue (sauf si vous mangez sur une table à pique-nique). Nous étions venus pour une soirée conviviale avec une bonne table; nous sommes repartis déçus, mal accueillis et un peu humiliés. Dommage.

I did not ask for actual pricing but thought it must be very special. Instead I was served a lobster that was likely not even one pound with very little meat in the tail. I got a large serving of fries and a tiny cup of slaw. Dessert was a very good cake and included. When I finished, the server asked how was the meal. I said the lobster was small. She laughed and stated "they just grab them out of the tank so you never know." Surprise! I was stunned to be presented with a bill for $96 CanadIan! I had only water for my beverage. I don't believe this is an isolated occurrence as the cashier also seemed aware of this issue and would not meet my gaze and just nodded when I complained.

We kept it simple and got the Nova Scotia staples of: - Lobster Roll: Generous chunks of lobster, soft and chewy roll, a bit heavy handed on the mayo and light on the coleslaw. The surprise star of the dish though was the side potato salad (super creamy). - Seafood Chowder with additional lobster: Pretty generous with the fillings (lots of potato, though a good amount of seafood too; the additional lobster added depth). That said, the soup was too thin and not as tasty as I'd like it. Good space, service was friendly. Too bad they ran out of the coconut cream pie which apparently is really good. Must be those locals who finished it!

I ordered the seafood fettuccine with no peppers, but it came with peppers anyway. The waiter remembered putting the order in without peppers, but the kitchen had messed up. They remade it, but when it came back out it had a very different presentation and seemed smaller. It no longer was served with bread, and it had less seafood. It was just odd. I had to sit there while the rest of my party had their food, just waiting for a long time. But the remade version did taste better, so I appreciated it. With the mixup, we found it very strange that the waiter did not apologize or offer to discount the meal or make it up in any way. The prices for the crab cakes also seemed very high! Compared to the other things we got, we were quite surprised with the small serving for the price. It was served with a smaller version of the house salad that I ordered as a side. The salad was good, but not worth the price, especially as the only thing paired with the crab cakes. Overall, I'd skip going here again. We appreciated that the outdoor seating was dog-friendly, but that was the only perk.
