My family and I stopped here, and being famished from the coastal drive we were currently on, you would think any food would be good food. Not the case with this restaurant! First we though, we should order the scallops because they're "world famous" Well for a place that is world famous for their scallops, they sure haven't taken the time to learn how to cook them. Maybe they had a new chef, maybe they were under staffed or maybe they just don't care about the product they serve. $20 for a few scallops you would think that they would have someone proper in the back to make sure they are done correctly. Terrible! , a viewer of the T.V. show Hells kitchen could cook better scallops. When I sent the scallops back because I said my Medicare doesn't cover poising in a sarcastic but these are crap way, the waitress took it upon her self to display the attitude she has been so gracefully working on. Gratuity at this point was greatly deducted. Secondly, the serves was terrible. you would think that for a place that needs tourism to maintain a business through the shoulder seasons that they would be grateful for the folks from out of town. Wrong again! The young lady was to busy fraternising with the locals at the bar to realize we have been seated and awaiting what most folks call "service" Thirdly, the washroom were a flashback from the movie Trainspotting, great movie but not to the point were I was big enough fan to let such filth not disrupt my call to nature. So I thought to myself, "while in Roman" kidding. I did not urinate on the floor like the hundred locals did before me. Lastly, I'm not one to write reviews on places I have visited along my travels,but this one had to be reported before salmonella and a urinary infection take my life. People of the world you have...
Read moreWhile in Digby we stopped at The Fundy Restaurant. I have not eaten there since the former Chef Carl was alive and working there but thought we would give it a try.
Margie waited on us and was amazing. She knew the menu inside and out and went above and beyond to ensure they were able to accommodate my diet which I very much appreciated. The Chef even came out to clarify what I was able to have and not have to make sure I was looked after, which I really appreciated. I had the gluten free veggie pasta with gluten free bread which was very tasty. Please not this dish is not quite the norm as they had to substitute a couple of things to accommodate my diet but it was still very good.
My 10 year old daughter had fish and chips with sweet potato fries which she raved about and asked me when will be going back again which is a testimony in itself coming from a super picky eater. My wife had the haddock fish burger with baked potato on the side and loved it as well.
The atmosphere is second to none in the area, and it is obvious the owner has put a lot of time, money and effort in building this beautiful spot! They also have Koi in a small pond at the front of the restaurant which my daughter loved to watch.
I just hope the next time we are in the area the sun will be out so we can sit on their amazing deck and enjoy the million dollar view of the harbour! I look forward to visiting again soon! This was an easy 5 star rating, so keep up the great work everyone!👍👍
//Update// We went back for dinner and this time the weather was amazing! Nothing like sitting on the deck at The Fundy Restaurant! Still a 5 star as I would expect...
Read moreShould have known that this place was going to be different from any of the other places we've stayed. Being checked in at the restaurant counter was the start. Beautiful newly renovated room was a pleasure. We were there for an anniversary getaway. We were unaware of the adjoining room, which turned out to be the major issue with our stay. The other minor things were I realize I booked a room with a street view but not one with the large sign for the bar and a bright street light, thanks for the blackout curtains!! No ice machine for the ice bucket supplied, not sure if we were to get it at the bar or what? Getting back to the "neighbors" at about 1245am they brought what seemed to be the bar back to the room!! The banging, singing screaming yelling like drunk people do yes is kind of expected but not for an extended period of time. I decided after a period of time about an hour I called the desk. I don't usually complain but this was a bit much. We didn't need to be awake all night listening to a party. The girl apologized and said it would be taken care of. Figured this would happen in a timely manner but was disappointed. They just seemed to dissipate after awhile or I was too tired I fell asleep. At checkout I mentioned about our issue , the counter person asked the owner what they could do. She asked me if we plan on coming back sometime and ended up giving me a 50%off coupon for our next stay!! Would have liked it to be something off this time but will come in handy for next time as I will be sure to book a water side room...
