5 stars for atmosphere, and food. Exceptional Waterview patio with great views from 3 sides, so peaceful. Stunning. Waitress was kind and smiled a lot. Sufficient staffing to ensure customers attended to and staff not overwhelmed. Staff appear to enjoy working there. I had the pulled pork baked macaroni and cheese dish...yummy! My dinner mate had the steak sandwich and Ceasar salad which he said was good. The dessert selection was just ok... mainly just cakes. Didn't care too much for the chocolate lava cake which was served cold, expected it to be warm. 😕 Only other small critique is when we arrived we were told all outside patio tables were reserved, but we did get a back table on side of patio. The whole 2 hours we were there, at least half of the prime patio tables that were empty when we got there were still empty when we left and never occupied for the duration of our stay. We could easily have been at one of those and left before anyone arrived for one of those reserved tables. Hard to believe from 5 to 7 those table sat empty and were reserved. I question whether the issue was a matter of poor organizational reservation logistics, or if the staff member seating was really aware if reserved or not, or if this is a standard line being told to anyone without a reservation (without checking? )? For example, perhaps guests who reserved outside table changed their minds and ate inside but reservation not updated? There were no reservation signs on any of the 'reserved' tables. I think this needs to be looked at. Otherwise, great experience and we would come back... but with a reservation.

Stopped by The Whistling duck all on our drive home from Prince Edward County. We wanted a patio with a view and we not only got that, but we got amazing food at really great prices. Our meals were fantastic and we had one of the best desserts we’ve ever had. We will definitely be back! Whistling Duck Quesadilla Our house seasoned chicken breast loaded in a flour tortilla with peppers, onions, corn and bean salsa and baked to perfection. Served with sour cream and salsa and fries Lobster Club Sandwich Seasoned lobster with bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise on a toasted panini. Served with seafood chowder soup. Dessert Homemade peanut butter ice cream pie!

We stopped in here for lunch while out and about, we seen a picture that a friend had posted and it looked nice, we started with the soup, a creamy carrot and curry flavored soup that was delicious, then we has a cranberry/feta salad that was also delicious, I had chicken wings, done crispy, just how I like and my friend had the quesadilla, all of the food was excellent flavored and beautifully prepared, our waitress was a lovely young lady called Sara who was very attentive to our needs, atmosphere was great with a beautiful view of the bay and lighthouse, many swans, etc. I have to add an edit to this review. A very good friend went there after reading my review, she had her support dog with her, the waitress would not allow the support dog on the patio, even though the support dog had all of the relevant paperwork, she was still not allowed. This dog is a miniature breed, very well trained and behaved, and is very important to my friend who has suffered a huge trauma, so, sorry Whistling Duck, you lose on your total lack of empathy, you don't know people's stories, and what it takes to get them through their day. Shame on you, I will never be back !!

Location was good, sitting on the patio was a great spot. Selection of beers was okay, with all the local options available it would be nicer to see some of those than some of the bigger breweries. We had the portabello and goat cheese appetizer, wings and the special. App and wings were quite good, great recommendation on the part of the waitress. The special was a tequila lime chicken with mango for $25, (see picture). The portion size was small, and the chicken was dry. Flavour wise it was quite good, but didn't quite fully satisfy. Wing portion was very small for the price and the flavours were lacking. Service was good, location and views were fantastic. Cost for what we received was a little high. I do think we'll return, but I'll be more conscious of what I choose.

Highly disappointed after going there seeing the reviews. The food was less than mediocre. Nothing tasted like how it should have tasted. The ribs were stale and a bottle of bbq sauce on it. The chowder soup was nothing like a chowder soup. We ordered pan seared fish and what we got was a deep fried fish with no batter(check photos). The salmon and pasta were the only ones which were ok. There were flies inside when we were having our lunch, that's totally unacceptable. The service was good and the location is awesome, but those things doesn't mean anything if the food is not good! They were good enough to arrange seating for 10 of us inside with no trouble. This place would be recommended only if you wanted to have some drinks and snacks.

The chicken wings were perfect, service really good. I would go back for sure. I took my sister from Quebec, it was her birthday and they treated her like a queen! Love the staff! Highly recommend. 5 stars
