We tried a few Fish and chip places on our trip to the Maritimes. This one was very good. It was a little bit of a wait but we felt it was worth it.

Hubby had the fish and chips and I had the pasta ragout. The food was good and the white wine sangria was fabulous. However, this place is loud. There were quite a few children and toddlers so the baby sounds and crying persisted throughout the...dinner. Server was attentive. Seems to be more of a family place than a place where adults would come to get a quiet dinner.More

Went there last night excited to try their halibut. It was 7pm They put us on a waitlist and said they would text us in an hour. A half hour later they called and said they would not be able to accommodate us. This did...not give us much time to find another place, Poor businessMore

They have a nice place to eat outdoors. Lost Anchor was the first place we found PEI mussels after several days on the island. They were excellent as was the seafood chowder. And despite the crowds, we were not rushed. Hear me clapping.

Using TripAdvisor, we decided to have our lunch at this restaurant. The staff are so young, energetic and welcoming. They have inside and outside tables. Their portions are enormous and the food quality is very good. I recommend fish and chips. Their beer selection is...local and nice and I recommend to drink Somersby Apple cider in summer as it is refreshing.More

delicious and fresh seafood. Scallops excellent. So were fish tacos and mussels. Service staff was young and inexperienced— food was slow to arrive. I think this is due to staffing shortages in summer 2022 and not really the restaurant’s fault. But be prepared to wait...if it’s busy.More

We’re staying at nearby cottages while on vacation and walked over, and we’re so glad we did! Denise was so kind and lovely, joking with us and giving recommendations on the menu. The food and drinks were delicious! Everything from the sangria, to the mussels,...chowder, sliders, and Denise’s spot on dessert recommendations were perfect. Love it, will definitely go back!More

Our family were there in July 31, 2022, arrived a little after 6:00pm, was told there was no seat, not allowed to wait nor could get take-out. No explaination. What a rude, unresonable attitude and service to customers. It shouldn't happen nor be tolerated.

My family and some friends stopped in here on our recent vacation to the east coast from Ontario. The staff was very friendly and accomodating our party of 7. The food was great!
