The person I was with had been here before and said it was a great place. Unfortunately, we must of went on a bad day or something.
Our server must have been new because she was not very competent with serving. She didn't give anyone in the area cutlery and napkins and every table had to ask for it. She never came to ask us once how things were.
I ordered the maple bacon burger with sweet potatoes fries. The fries were undercooked but I ate them anyway as I was starving. I took two tiny bites of my burger and my lips and mouth started burning. Nothing on this burger was maple, the patty seemed to be some premade frozen patty, and it had some sort of spicy sauce that was not listed as spicy in the menu nor was I told about it. I'm extremely sensitive to spice and it makes me very ill so I read menus very carefully and it wasn't mentioned the sauce was spicy that I seen.
She came over to clear our table and asked if I was done with my burger that had two little bites out of it. I asked her if it was supposed to be spicy and she said "Yes it has our burger bomb sauce which is spicy" and I told her I was done with it and that they really should list if something is spicy and my partner mentioned that I was very sensitive to spice. She left without saying much and brought back the full bill.
I feel this could have been handled much better. Even if she had of offered to replace the burger that I took two tiny bites of with a different sandwich (not that I could have accepted because I was fighting getting sick and spent the rest of the night feeling ill), it would have changed the whole experience.
I think we'll try somewhere else the next time we're...
Read moreI went to Acadia and have many great memories of Paddy's and was really disappointed by our food yesterday. Myself, my mom and grandmother went for supper. We ordered a gluten-free spinach and artichoke dip, a gluten-free veggie clubhouse with sweet potato fries and seafood chowder. We waited nearly 40 minutes for our food and when it came, it was such a disappointment. The dip was lukewarm and wasn't a dip - it was basically layered artichoke and spinach topped with melted marble cheese. Instead of bread, it came with vegetables that were not fresh and in fact the carrot sticks appeared to have been frozen. The veggie clubhouse was hands down one of the most boring sandwiches I've ever eaten. The gluten-free bread was not even toasted. The sweet potato fries were overcooked and in one enormous clump and were ice cold. The seafood chowder had a skin on it, presumably from sitting for too long before getting served. I didn't ask my grandmother what she paid for the chowder, but I paid $40.20 for the sandwich, fries, dip and a diet soda, which felt like way too much for subpar food. We didn't say anything at the time because our server was lovely and we didn't want to raise a fuss with her but we are sharing this here for anyone thinking about eating here. This place has sadly clearly gone downhill and needs a menu refresh...
Read moreThis restaurant is older but has longevity power for a reason. The menu is a classic pub type menu with a lot of options. I especially like the variety of gluten-free menu options and the ability to make changes to some of the entreas. For example, I ordered a spinach salad but added scallops and balsamic dressing vs. poppy seed to avoid the higher sugar count. Many restaurants offer the option to add chicken to salads, which gets boring. I appreciated the opportunity to choose something different. They also offer shrimp as an add-on to the salads. With add-ons, there is an additional expense, and my salad was over $20. It was filling and delicious. Our servers were exceptional! Bravo! Friendly, funny, kind, attentive, and engaging. I've dined here before and highly recommend both the fish and Chios and the sesame and chicken teryaki salad. So delicious! Parking is OK. There is no designated parking lot, but there are a couple of free parking lots at the back entrance. Be forewarned. There are multiple sets of stairs to climb if you have mobility issues. In this case, parking on Main St. Wolfille may be a better choice. The decor feels classic in the Irish pub style with comfortable and private booths available as well as tables and chairs. It's one of my favorite places to dine...
