Fiveeleven West — Restaurant in Summerside

My wife and I were celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary while visiting from Ontario. We did our research of local Summerside restaurants, and Five-Eleven West quickly caught our attention in comparison to other menus.

THE MENU The menu was simple, well worded, and abundant in a variety of options. It was well organized and without photos, as the plating and presentation of the food itself leaves one's imagination to surprise.

PRICING/SERVICE Each item is fantastic in it's price. The beautiful presentation, quality of the food, and service amplifies the value you gain from your experience. Personally, I have seen more expensive restaurants with poorer service. This was not one of those restaurants.

OUR SELECTIONS We could not satisfy our palettes on one dish only so we opted for appetizers.

I selected the Bacon-Wrapped Scallops. Five PERFECTLY seared scallops wrapped in sweet & smoky Bacon, served in a boat shaped bowl, nestled on tender pea shoots. Succulent. Delicate. Anyone who enjoys a good seared scallop knows they are easy to overcook, undercook, and the process requires patience in it's perfection. The smokiness of the Bacon and sweetness of the scallop paired perfectly with the fresh horseradish grated into their seafood sauce.

My wife selected the Spinach & Aged Cheddar dip. The fried tortilla and Naan bread, beautifully seasoned by the way, scooped up that creamy, warm melted cheese and Spinach, where it enveloped our taste buds in gastric-ecstacy.

Surely if the appetizers were that exciting, our imaginations wandered into whatever could be next.

To say that I love fish & chips would be a gross understatement. I've been eating it all my life and is my favorite dish. After multiple disappointments on the island and elsewhere in Canada, I chose to follow through on my instinct after enjoying such a well done starter. Our server confirmed that I could enjoy the fish with any side I wish, and since anyone can cook a french fry, I paired it with their Mushroom Risotto. As my fork broke through the thin, crispy, and golden beer-battered crust, a perfectly cooked fillet of haddock revealed itself. A small dollop of housemade tartar sauce created a sweet-tender-crunchy symphony of flavour in my mouth that surpassed any previous trials of like-minded dishes. The fish itself was seasoned well (a step many kitchens neglect), and flaked onto my fork with little effort. To my surprise and absolute enjoyment, that golden-fried batter remained crispy until the very end. The Risotto...you're probably thinking, "Risotto with fried fish?" Like I said, anyone can cook fries. But risotto, mi amore! Mushrooms, garlic, parmesan & white wine! A quartet of classic Italian flavors, superbly balanced with the tender arborio rice. Again, I've had many poor trials of Risotto across Canada, and this was a refreshment to an Italian staple.

My wife chose the Cedar planked Salmon. Sweetly blanketed in a glaze of maple and mustard, the fish tenderly flaked onto her fork with a slight touch of under-doneness (which is how Salmon should be eaten), and melted over her tongue. The touch of smoke from the cedar balanced the sweetness of the maple, and married well to the roasted vegetables served alongside. The presentation of beets, carrots, brocollini, and peppers created a canvas unrivaled to an artists painting, displaying a colorful presentation with the pink salmon. There is a reason we chefs call it Culinary "arts".

With our minds at peace and our bellies full, we finished our culinary adventure with a portion of Peanut Butter-Chocolate Cheesecake and a Lemon Cupcake. The plates arrived, adorned with their own sauces and a fresh local strawberry. As we sat back and reviewed our options, we felt that we chose exactly what our hearts were seeking; a quiet evening enjoying a meal together, no kids, just us and our food.

From one chef to another, many thanks to Chef Emily for her experience in the kitchen. Her passion could be felt and seen in each dish she presented. This is why we do what we...

I recently visited Five Eleven in Summerside, PEI, and from start to finish it was a wonderful experience. The moment I walked in, I noticed how clean and well-kept everything was, instantly making me feel comfortable and at ease.

The staff were genuinely friendly not just polite out of obligation, but warm and welcoming in a way that made me feel like a valued guest. Service was quick without being rushed, and the team struck that perfect balance of being attentive without hovering.

Prices were very reasonable, especially given the quality of the food and the overall experience. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and quietly cozy ideal for anything from a casual lunch to a relaxed evening out.

Five Eleven truly feels like one of Summerside’s hidden gems the kind of place you almost want to keep to yourself but can’t help telling people about. I left not only happy with my meal but also already looking forward to my next visit. Summerside is lucky to have a...

I came here with my husband and son while staying in simmerside. I am gluten free and their menue had options so we decided to try them. Its located inside their sports arena that was connected to our hotel. They have a "storefront" in the arena where you can purchase quick foods and they have a sit down restaurant area through the doors. We went into the restaurant and where greated at the door. The staff was friendly.. We were seated almost right away. There are quite a few gluten free options and some vegitarian options. My husband ordered the haddock fried in butter served with potatoes and veggies. He absolutely loved it. I ordered their vegitarian bowl with avacado, corn, rice, lettus, black beans. I cant remember the name of the dish but It was delicious. My son ordered fish and chips. He loved the fish but left most of the batter. Food came quickly. Staff was fantastic. Would definitely recommend...
