We went for lunch on a beautiful September day. One of the best meals of our road trip. We shared the seafood platter; it even came with drawn butter for the lobster, and was all delicious. Fun to eat on the deck near the harbor. They were busy but we didn't mind the wait. Also appreciated that our server spoke very good English. Thanks for a great meal.

I had the lobster roll. I am fussy about my lobster. It was a solid 10/10. Super fresh and lots of lobster. Fries were perfect and the coleslaw was excellent. My buddy had halibut fish & chips. Huge pieces of fish, perfectly cooked with light batter coating. Beautiful meal. Worth every penny.

Looked around for options on the tip of the island for a lobster roll and chowder and fell upon this place! Only outdoor seating so keep that in mind, we went when it was raining so we ordered at the counter and ate in the car. The chowder and lobster roll were fresh and crisp, delicious flavours. Worth the drive! I love the view of the port right in front and the staff is very nice. It does take a bit of time to receive the order but nothing too crazy. Because of the rain they weren't full staff I believe, but that also means no line!

Very small seafood restaurant with superb fish and chips and petoncle. Service is well worth the wait. Fantastic beach across from the wharf with plenty of parking but the beach goes on for kilometres.
