A few weeks ago, we visited this fine restaurant for dinner, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. Upon our arrival, a young server greeted us warmly. I don't remember her name, but it was something like Mety or similar. Now, let me tell you, as someone who has Tourette’s, I’ve grown accustomed to receiving strange looks when I’m out and about. People can be impatient or uncomfortable. When I had my tics while giving her my order, she remained calm, kind, and patient. Even though she was busy tending to other tables, she never once made me feel rushed or different. It was such a rare and heartwarming thing to encounter. She treated me with such respect and kindness, something that truly stood out to me. I was happy with her service that I tipped her extra as a token of my gratitude. She even tried to refuse it, saying it was too much. Of course, I insisted she take it it was well earned. And I mustn’t forget to mention, the food was absolutely wonderful too!
Now, as someone who’s been in the food business myself, I know it’s the service that keeps people coming back. And let me tell you, this was a 10/10 experience in every way. Mark my words, the next time I find myself in Canada or PEI, I’ll surely...
Read moreWe arrived before 18:00 without reservation, were greeted friendly by a lady! There were few tables throughout the night and were all served by the same lady. Having said that, her service was excellent and paid so much attention to our need. She definitely is a bonus to this restaurant!!
We ordered seafood chowder and PEI mussels as starters to share. The portion of the mussels was big. They were cooked perfectly.
As Mains, we had “Chicken crepe divine” and “scallops, shrimp and green pea risotto”. I personally loved the risotto, it was not those cheesy type but cooked with mint and lemon. If you are kind of person who doesn’t like cheese as much as me, you gotta try this. It was served with 2 seared scallops and 2 shrimps.
This place is definitely very kids friendly. They offered 10 choices in the kids menu with very reasonable prices!
The only thing I want to mention is “I called twice for reservation but both were in vain”. So at last I decided to walk in. Other than this tiny little hiccup, my overall experience was wonderful (credit went to the...
Read moreWe stayed at the Rodd while visiting Charlottetown and ate here twice. First for dinner and then for breakfast the next day. We arrived later in the day and thought the hotel restaurant would be a good option for dinner. The service was extremely slow and the food was mediocre at best. We returned in the morning for breakfast but that's when things really went off the rails. Not only was the service extremely slow but they also got my order completely wrong. When I pointed it out, they made no attempt to fix it and just left it for me to eat. It took forever to get a refill of our coffee and the wait staff did not seem to be working as a team. The waiter for the table next to us brought coffee for top-ups but didn't even look at us. With so many other options only a couple blocks away it was easy to enjoy all our other...
