The Masthead Restaurant Reviews
Always an amazing experience at The Masthead!! The staff is incredibly welcoming and always suggests great food options and drinks to try!
Went for Sunday brunch .
The best of the best of seafood chowder , eggs Benedict (smoked salmon and asparagus) and the desert sticker toffee pudding and crème brûlée.
It was the best meal and large servings.
Had a fantastic spur of the moment supper while in the area. We don't really do fine dining but it was a fantastic atmosphere, large portions for all 3 courses, mind blowingly delicious food and the staff was absolutely outstanding. Price was good for what we ended up with in the end so I would recommend for a "fancy night out". 😃
