Old Maders' Wharf Emporium — Restaurant in Town of Mahone Bay

Can't speak for the food because we were never seated. My wife and I took our young children to the scarecrow festival with my sister and her husband and infant child. They needed a place to sit down and feed the baby so we decided to get lunch. After the woman at the door watched us struggle getting 2 strollers up the stairs she waited to tell us that there was no room to seat us. I politely pointed out that we did not need seats for the small children and we could take one of the smaller tables that were visible from the door. She very rudely said "I told you we can't accommodate you! We have a group of 8 waiting for a table" clearly the group of 8 would not fit at this smaller table. She obviously did not want to deal with having kids in the restaurant before she event gave them a chance. The kids were being very well behaved so I was disappointed in the rude behavior from the woman at the door. The staff should be properly trained in customer service. Hopefully this one individual does not reflect the business as a whole. I would have loved to get the chance to try the food. looked and smelled good...

Very disappointing experience today. Came out as a family and the server was extremely rude. She treated us from the start with barely any respect. My dad tried making jokes to lighten up the mood and she took them very seriously. (We get it not all jokes are funny but be nicer). The service made this 1 star! After paying we decided to not give a tip as we were completely treated with disrespect and once we did skip the tip the manager came over asking why we gave a 0 tip which is wild. We told her and instead of trying to make it right she left. The server also grabbed a half drinked beer from my dad’s hands because my little brother was joking around and wanted to smell the beer… Do better…you’re a restaurant hire better servers. You also traumatized my little brother with the action which was not kind...

Awesome place to eat and view is unbelievable. Wish I lived closer then i do now...in California lol. Hope to go back soon and to Oak Island. Good luck Rick...
