We have been enjoying the winter specials at Blomidon Inn. When there is a January February lull, we try to go for supper at the Blomidon Inn. We began by picking the dinners we really liked, Coquilles St Jacque, Prime Rib, Lobster Linguine are examples.
Our table was ready when we arrived, we had a friendly efficient server and were always greeted with a smile. The door was hot when it arrived, very tasty, with interesting healthy vegetables such as spiraled squash.
The setting lovely with candlelight, you can forget about the chilly night outside and enjoy a relaxing meal... perfect every time!

We absolutely loved our dinner at Blomidon Inn. You can select a four course meal for two for $100, and then add on a beautiful bottle of wine. They have a large wine cellar to choose from, and gave us a great recommendation for pairing with our meal. Service was on point. Looking forward to the next time.

This has always been a favorite for intimate family dinners and for larger group gatherings. The staff are always willing to accommodate requests for dining - from the set-up to actual menu offerings. This magnificent old home retains much of its original charm and in any season is a welcoming venue.

Our server was very unprofessional and we felt like we were at a pub ordering food except it was suppose to be a fine dining experience, which also came with fine dining prices. Food was okay, not very flavour able. Bread came out cold and Caesar’s were vey bland. When we notified our sever that we weren’t happy with our food she did not do anything about it. In fact she lied and said she spoke to a manger, which later turned out there was no manger on duty. Overall was a poor dining experience! Dated restaurant with poor service.

I was at Blomidon Inn for a birthday party and it was fabulous to have a private room. Wish I could say the food was fabulous as well. However, the beef tenderloin was tasteless and the spinach salad was dry. The dessert was definitely the highlight. I emailed the restaurant a few days later to let them know several members of our party were unimpressed. I did not get a response. So unprofessional. It was my first time eating at the inn and I do not understand the hype.

We are locals who had not been here for supper in a number of years. We were very pleased with the meal.
The menu is more contemporary than our past experience. There were 4 or 5 options, and there is a fixed price meal for multiple courses.
Homemade bread was delicious.
Wines and beers had lots of options.
The dining room is beautiful and the tables are nicely spaced.
I had fish cakes and a small beef tenderloin.
My partner had salad and pasta.
Food was tasty and nicely presented. Service was friendly and the meal was nicely paced.
Desserts were tasty -- my partner had a hot fudge sundae and I had a blueberry trifle.
We thought that the prices were very reasonable for the quality of food and ambience received.
This is a great spot right in Wolfville, and the Inn is a gem to see.
We will return and we recommend.

Food and the historic atmosphere are the main draws at this family-run inn, although the gardens are also very attractive. We stayed on the "Gourmet Getaway" package, which included dinner and breakfast and provided excellent value. The dinner was superb. My main-course halibut was cooked to perfection and my wife's Digby scallops and pappardelle were also excellent. My. appetizer fish cake was very good, as was my wife's salad, which was decorated with flowers from the inn's gardens. For dessert I had a very tasty fresh fruit cobbler, while my wife had an assortment of home-made sorbets. From the small but well-chosen wine list we ordered a local chardonnay from Planter's Ridge, which was surprisingly good. The service was excellent.
This is an historic building, so doesn't have mod-cons like an elevator or air-conditioning. So our executive suite on the third floor was a grunt to get to even with just carry-on suitcases and had a large portable air conditioner in one corner. However, it also had a four-poster bed (with a charming step-stool to climb into bed) and a lovely antique wooden armoire. The bathroom was spotless and the wi-fi worked very well.
All in all, we thought our stay provided excellent value (although the gourmet package is only available from Wednesday to Sunday) in a beautiful and distinctive setting.

Blomidon has been a go-to restaurant for our family’s special occasions for 20 years and it never disappoints. Back again this week to celebrate a 60th anniversary, the service was warm, welcoming and personal. The food was outstanding. We will continue to return, again and again.

We ate supper here. They're trying very hard to deliver an up-scale fine-dining experience but missing the mark a bit in a number of ways. While the staff were professional, friendly, and welcoming, I expect a bit more refinement from the food and the experience at this price point. The food was good, but not "wow," and there were multiple details of service that were missed. The patio is a beautiful space but it's unfortunate that the loud kitchen ventilation is directly overhead. We really wanted to love this spot, but will choose somewhere else next time.

Absolutely beautifully prepared Halibut. Lobster pasta was generous portion of lobster and amazing dish. Started with the lemon arugula salad which was exceptional. Lemon sorbet to cleanse pallet….then had strawberry rhubarb dessert was nice with ice cream instead of whipped cream. Excellent food and great service.

First let me say the server was knowledgeable and welcoming. Very professional. The atmosphere was good. The appetizer was good, run of the mill that you could easily do at home with a trip to the deli. The main course was so bland. I’m not sure if it was the dish itself or the chef was having a bad night. But it was not worth eating. I would of gone to Boston pizza for their pasta dishes had I known. We were looking forward to a nice dinner after wine tasting but it was not the ending we had hoped for.

An oasis of elegance, peace and Canadian kindness in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. The place is so elegant and comfortable we know we must come back! The cottages are beautifully placed to provide privacy and access to the stunning garden. The food is fantastic and will please even very demanding New Yorkers like ourselves. The Inn is family run and you feel it in everything they do. We had a car problem and the owner spent his morning helping us- he saved our tour of local wineries. We are amazed, grateful and relaxed.

What a wonderful Valentine’s Day meal we had! I had a fantastic mussel soup, my partner had beet soup. The coquille was great as was the chicken! Accompaniments were great! The pavlova dessert knocked our socks off and the sticky pudding was delicious! And did I mention the exceptional homemade bread?! A great place with ambience and carm! It never disappoints!
