The Fiddling Fisherman Lookout — Restaurant in Souris West

This looked like a great place to eat in Souris, but we left underwhelmed. The views are awesome, but we could not get seated on the patio deck, but there could be more seating if they added a few more tables. The decor is very nice with ample seating inside. Our waitress was awesome and tended to our needs. The drawbacks. Very cold A/C inside. So much that we had to retrieve sweaters from the vehicle.

Thanks so much for 2...

The manager paused by our table, a practiced smile on her face as she asked about our meal. Her eyes, however, were already scanning the room, clearly unconcerned with my mumble "It's fine thanks." It was just part of her job, a superficial interaction without a hint of true interest. As I was paying, I mentioned to the waitress about my disappointment. She said she would let the cook know.
