Mu buddies and I dropped in after a paddle and had a good meal and impressive choice of local beers. Our waitress was efficient, but not real friendly. The food was good and reasonably priced

Dear P W, Thank you for your kind review. I have reminded wait staff that customers pay our salaries and they are the only reason we have prospered in the hospitality industry for the past 27 years. In the future you should be greeted with a smiling face and friendly service. Sincerely, Ron Nelson Innkeeper More

Went out for food and drinks Friday night Great service, quiet and relaxing, we will be back The food was o.k.nothing really to complain about, but the Chef needs to take it to the next level, they are just about there Just a little more thought has to go onto the plate.

Our meal was very good however my husband's mashed potatoes were on the cold side and my chicken penne would have been nicely finished off with some parmesan cheese. The Chilean wine though, was delicious! Would eat there again.

Dear Reg_Jen, Thank you for taking the time to review us. I’m happy to read that overall your meal was good; however, I’m sorry to read the potatoes were cold and that you were not offered fresh parmesan cheese for the chicken penne dish. I assure you this is not standard. I will speak with the restaurant team and should... More

I had a typical full breakfast while staying at the Inn on the Lake. It was a very good breakfast, lots of food and presented nicely. My waitress was very nice and attentive, but not too attentive, if you know what I mean.

We stopped in for an early dinner on the way to the airport and were seated in the fine dining room with a view of the Lake. For some reason I couldn't read past the first thing I saw on the menu - bangers and mash. I really didn't expect my plate to be impressive but the presentation was beautiful... More

Was in Halifax for business and we went to this restaurant for lunch, my associate recommended seafood chowder and haddock so I took his advise. Seafood chowder was creamy and full of seafood and the haddock is good too. Service is good too.l

We live in the neighborhood of the Inn on the Lake and we dine there frequently. We had a lovely meal tonight of Chicken Kiev, which was one of today's specials. The Inn makes the most wonderful sauces and offers a varied menu which includes traditional and ethnic meals. Their Curried Chicken is my all time favourite with wonderful Indian... More

Did not stay at the hotel but had dinner here with friends. The quality of the food was at best poor to average for above average prices. The waiter was down right hostile. Granted they were very busy that evening but still no excuse to be unkind to paying customers. I would recommend driving the extra 10 minutes to Dartmouth... More

I had a business dinner here recently. The restaurant was very tastefully done. The food was excellent as well as the service. When I got the bill for the evening, I was surprised that it was not more than what it was. Would recommend this place for relaxed dinner.
