We were invited to a show at the Victoria Playhouse, so Caroline made a five pm reservation for four at the restaurant. We were seated immediately upon arrival and were soon perusing the drink and supper menus.
Caroline decided upon the Charred Haddock, Crusted Pan-Fried, House Made Tartar, Creamy Tangy Slaw, while I was Interested in the Beefeater. Slow Roasted Shaved PEI Beef, Horseradish Creme, Swiss Cheese, Crispy & Pickled Onions
Our party ordered the Oysters as a starter, five oysters and slices of baguette served on a bed of lettuce while I started with a side of the Dill Potato Salad, that would also accompany my sandwich. The creamy potato salad was wonderful! Red skinned new potatoes served with enough onion and dill to give it life and each forkful was lovely. I was supremely happy that I had another serving to look forward to with my entree.
Caroline offered me a piece of her charred haddock, and I was a bit surprised at the crisp blackened coating that topped the morsel, and as I crunched through into that white fleshed fillet I thought perhaps I’d made a mistake in my order, that is until I assembled the bun and took a bite. That creamy horseradish, pickled onion, cheese and brioche was the perfect vehicle for delivering succulent roast beef! This is a five star sandwich that I would love to have again. In fact, I’m already trying to come up with an excuse to visit again.
Caroline and I swapped halfway with our desserts. The apple crumble was moist and sweet served à la mode with a scoop of ice cream drizzled in caramel. She had chosen the white chocolate lemon cheesecake to start, and I found it to be a delightful rich lemon dessert, and that half was the perfect amount for me. I truly loved the cheesecake and would have been quite content sharing a slice between two.
All in all the food and service was excellent and I can’t praise the food enough. Caroline agrees that she loved the food, the company and the entertainment. A delightful evening out in...
Read moreFinally got to the Landmark Oyster House in Victoria Wednesday evening. I went through the door with sky-high expectations, I'd heard amazing things from others who had visited Greg and Marly's newest adventure, and I wasn't disappointed! I was greeted inside the door by bartender Kieran, who showed us to our table. Manager, Leslie, was delightful and attentive. Mom and I were celebrating, and wanted to try as much as we could, so after a drink we decided on both the bruchetta toast and the beet and goat cheese salad with Maple vinaigrette to start. Both were delicious, but if I had to pick one I'd say the bruschetta toast with my favourite. We had both the blackened haddock and the short rib for dinner, and while both were good the rib was the star of our entire experience. Tender, melt-in-your-mouth, perfectly cooked beef served over buttermilk smashed potatoes and seasonal roasted veg. Simply amazing. Chef Kayla nailed it. We were absolutely stuffed after our first two courses, but couldn't leave without trying at least one dessert. The lemon square with short dough and raspberry coulis was perfect. Incredible food, top notch service, cozy, elevated rustic atmosphere ... It was perfect from start to finish. And we even got to wish Miss Piper a Happy 6th birthday 😊 Congratulations Greg, Marley and team! I will be back next...
Read moreLunch at Landmark Oyster House was a highlight of our first trip to the Island. The restaurant itself is charming with an outdoor patio, smaller rooms inside and a cozy small area at the bar to choose from. We were lucky to get seats at the bar where you can watch your oysters being shucked firsthand by Marly, the owner nonetheless. The food is outstanding I think because of a talented chef but also due to their commitment to using only the freshest of fresh ingredients. Salads (we had green and beet) were perfectly dressed with fresh pea shoots and the best lettuce and goat cheese we had on our PEI visit. The oysters are outstanding - plump and so fresh you would think they came right from the dock after you order them. Beef Dip came with a homemade jus ( no powder here) served on beautiful bread that was the best we have ever had. There is plenty to choose from including beef tartare, a pot pie, chowder of course, quiche, fish and meat dishes. (The desserts looked amazing........next time). The selection of wine, beer and cocktails is far superior in quality than found in most rural/seaside establishments. I can't say enough about this beautiful restaurant. The prices are fair, the portions are perfect and the overall experience is a lasting memory. We can't wait to go back! ...
