Right Whale Pub at the Algonquin Resort — Restaurant in Town of Saint Andrews

We stayed at the resort and the Right Whale Pub was our last night's dinner. It's open Thursday-Sunday (during the time we were in St. Andrew's, at least). First off, for a small seaside town there are a ton of things to do in St. Andrew's. Second, The Algonquin is truly a wonderful place to stay. What made the stay special, though, was the experience at the Right Whale Pub. The food was high end pub food. I had a tomato-haloumi-pesto-arugula salad, my wife a grilled fresh Atlantic salmon alfredo linguine. Traditional favourites available, too! But the service on the night we were in was exceptional. The entire staff was friendly, engaging, pleasant and considerate. Our server was amazing from start to finish. Just as an example, he got down to our seated level to talk with our children face-to-face.

For dessert I had the pumpkin pie. While it tasted quite good, it was evident that it was just a prepackaged defrosted mini pie. Not really a problem for me, just an observation. It was garnished well with a crunchy pumpkin seed topping and whipped cream, and the glaze was delicious - and honestly the dessert was tasty - however the pie wasn’t warmed up. This threw me off - cold pumpkin pie is just a little bizzare lol!

If I ate there again (Eg if a group I was with wanted to go there), I’d order the...

Went for our birthdays, were met with complimentary Prosecco and a lovely waitress. Had the best mussels of my life in the red Thai coconut mussels. After our meal we moved to the bar and were served by one of the most personable and professional bartenders I’ve met to date. Bryan was amazing and really made you feel like you were at your local pub sitting down for a drink with an old friend, be sure to ask him about his vodka infusions and his cocktail recommendations...
