Read moreTuesday at 535, arrived. Two tables outside were full, and 1 inside. We were invited to sit where we wanted. We waited for about 8 min for one of the waitresses to bring us menus and take our drink order.
We ordered our meals, and about 25 min later they brought my husband's meal (2 piece fish & chips)...my bowl of chowder nowhere to be seen.
We watched another table of 4 (arrived after we did, and ordered after us), 1 meal brought out. The 3 other people, no meals. About 6 min. later, a 2nd meal brought out.
Then, my bowl of tepid chowder was brought to me. Barely warm. I had 2 bites and asked for her to bring me a new bowl, and explained it was barely warm.
10 minutes later, she brought me a replacement bowl. It wasn't much warmer, and was primarily milk and potato. There was maybe 1 small piece of scallop, and 2 small pieces of lobster. $18 for potato soup.
At the same time, the other table's final 2 meals were brought out.
Not once did anyone come to see if we needed anything. After I finished, she came by to pick up my empty bowl. At that point she said something to the effect of "Was everything good?". I said "No."...and she just walked off with my bowl.
We did not leave a tip.
Zero stars, is what I would leave if I could. We won't be back.
EDIT: to respond to the owner's response.
My husband never said his meal was great 😂. You have misinformed. I will disagree with how long it took for the 'warmed up bowl of chowder to arrive. Chowder should be a hot dish, 60 degrees Celsius, according to HACCP. It was barely warmer than the first bowl.
Yes, the bowl was empty, because it wasn't very large to begin with, and I'd not eaten all day, so yes, I ate it. For potato soup it was fine - however you advertise it as "seafood chowder" that would imply that it would have a reasonable amount of seafood in it for the $18 price point. As instated, it has 2 miniscule pieces of lobster and I think a portion of a scallop - it was so small I couldn't be sure.
The empty bowl doesn't change the fact that it was a poor meal and even worse service.
I will not respond...
Read moreThis is a cute little spot on the road to Peggy's Cove! Great outdoor dining area with lots of breeze off the water keeping the bugs away. Comfortable seating and not too crowded, but if you wanted to strike up a conversation with your neighbor, you could.
Our service was excellent, The servers were friendly, and knowledgeable and very quick. The food was also prepared and delivered quickly. For the most part. It was all hot and delicious.
We had stopped there for a late lunch. I had the roasted chicken breast sandwich with Cajun spice, which was on the small side, but delicious! The chicken was perfect!
One of my companions had the lobster clubhouse sandwich and it was phenomenal! Can't say enough about this. I wish I had it!
My other companion had a bowl of seafood chowder and I had a cup of the chowder as a side as well. This was the disappointment of the meal. The chowder was incredibly thick because the potatoes were almost mashed. There was no discernible broth or cream base to it and it had the look and consistency of oatmeal! It was difficult to taste whether or not I had fish in each spoonful.
Considering how amazing everything else was, this was a disappointment. I will however be going back for that lobster...
