Excellent Must Do This is why we came on this cruise. We had seafood chowder, lobster roll, fried clam strips, fish cake and seafood platter for four people. Everything was fantastic, food, local beer, service… come early as it gets very busy

We had planned to visit another good seafood restaurant but during a pub stop in the afternoon, a local resident highly recommended this amazing, cozy and wonderfully staffed place. You walk in and you get that warm happy immediate feeling! And the seafood smells are just amazing ! Luckily, we were able to get a reservation. The restaurant was filled with patrons throughout the night. And the food??? Seafood chowder was served with a homemade biscuit, I had the breaded scallops as starters. We then chose a variety of seafood, shrimps, clams, cod and MORE scallops cause they were mouth watering!! Excellent staff, reasonable prices, good wine and lots of nice banter all around made our experience a success xox

Having 1.5 LB Lobsters, Island Mussels, chowder and Lobster Rolls with local Keith Beer to celebrate old friend’s Birthday. The lobster and mussels are fresh and delicious. Lobster roll is the best in town.

We walked in a bit before 5:30pm on a Wednesday evening for dinner and was able to snag a table. A couple just behind us was told they would have to wait as the rest of the free tables are already reserved. Lobster roll was pretty good with the bread lightly toasted, scallop dinner the same as was the fish and chips. The batter was the best I've had on the trip and the price was for 2 pieces. Other restaurants charge more for a second piece.

Delicious lobster roll, fresh lobster with only a bit of mayo on the bun - perfect! Small place, tables close together which was a bonus as we ended up talking to another lovely couple. We splurged, and had the strawberry rhubarb pie, which is also made in house. Yum! You can't go wrong here. There was a wait for a table, but they are very well organized and tables turn over quickly.

The restaurant is on Water Street and Prince Street by the waterfront. It was very busy during lunch hour but worth the wait! The lobster is by market price and sold in different weight classes (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3). I got the lobster and was very pleased with the freshness. My partner had clams and chips and it was filling for him. The best part of this restaurant is you can buy lobster or seafood to bring onto your flight. The box costs $15 and you can fill up to 15lbs. The salesperson was very patient with my questions regarding the seafood and price inquiry. I highly recommend this restaurant to eat or buying seafood to go!!!

We found this place by a recommendation of the local person we met in passing at a nearby parking lot. And BOY did we thank him in our thoughts later! This place is small, but the tastes here are huge. It definitely has significant wait times, because people in the know gravitate there, but the wait was definitely worth it. Everything we had was very delicious and the service was quick and efficient! I only wish they would have disclosed the price of Lobster roll (only listed as Market Price on the menu) when people order it.

We really enjoyed this cute and unique spot for a quick dinner before seeing the Anne of Green Gables musical show. The food was fresh and tasty and it is worth a visit just to experience the location. Would recommend.

This small unpretentious restaurant provides a great seafood experience in Charlottetown. Friendly, attentive staff. Local mussels cooked properly, not overcooked as many restaurants do. And if you like scallops, the scallop burger is a great alternative way to enjoy them. Prior to our visit to PEI, had never before encountered one. On cruise ship days no reservations are taken, but the wait is worth it! Restaurant is close to the terminal.

We had the lobster dinner each (1.5lb) and it was amazing! We had the mussels to accompany and you get a massive bowl of delicious fresh mussels each with garlic butter. Then the lobsters arrived & while they didn’t look massive, they were deliciously fresh, the shells were jam packed with meat and perfectly cooked (again with garlic butter to dip into). This was one of the best lobsters I’ve eaten & I’ve eaten a LOT!! The deserts sounded delicious but we were both so full we couldn’t squeeze even a wafer thin mint in.

I had read great things about the lobster rolls here, and was not disappointed! The lobster filling was divine! The amazing bread used to hold the lobster was absolutely perfect for the job. I had a choice of sides and opted for a baked potato. Splendid! My partner had the halibut fish and chips and said the halibut was perfectly cooked. The fries were just okay. Our server was just the right amount of fun and friendly without being in our faces. Really nice guy, and the rest of the staff were great too. I hope to come back again someday!

I wanted to say a huge shout-out to Phil,our magnificent server. We made a lunch reservation right at 1100hrs when they opened on Sept.3rd of the Labor Day Long Weekend. Nothing but great banter,Great advice on "what's good",and Excellent service.The Lobster Roll is an absolute Must. All our choices from Seafood Chowder,to Shrimp Cocktail,and excellent beers, and wines to go along were available. And if you are on a mission to get on a tour, then the service is efficient to get you fed and on your way as well. Cheers as we are the "Party Like A Lob-Star" group from Southern Alberta on our first adventure to PEI.

Dinner for 2. It's a relatively small restaurant but they do have outdoor seating under a canopy for overflow. We sat outside and it was the best lobster we had ever had. Server was a bit of a scatterbrain - kept forgetting to bring items but she made up for it in her pleasantness and it added a bit of comedy to the dinner.

Wonderful little place for steam lobster, mussels, and clams. Raw oyster was a little pricier but tastes excellent (a little salty, brined, does not taste washed out). Conveniently located within 5 minute walking distance from the Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island cruise port. Friendly customer service.

Good good and good service is a great combination. I had a 1pound lobster with a cup of chowder. The chowder was excellent and the lobster was good (a little more wore than at another place who pre cut it better). My husband had sautéed shrimp which were flavorful and cooked perfectly. We both had baked potatoes and didn’t care for them- not as good as russets in our opinion. We had a reservation and sat inside. It was a bit too warm and the tables were such that you had to listen to others conversation whether you wanted to or not.
