They charge the price of an establishment with great atmosphere, service and food. But has less atmosphere than a Burger King. The individual wait staff are ok, but major issues with a dish were met with a discount not really corrected. We found the meals very over priced. This establishment could only exist in a place like this, it could never survive competition of any kind. They also choose to take advantage of the current Alma boil order by charging 2 dollars for a 25 cent off brand bottle of water.

We enjoyed a lovely meal that we devoured!! Still talking about our hamburger and fish burger the next day. The baked goods we picked were delectable, we received a generous portion of chocolate cake. Staff was super

Just Delicious!!We came in late , about 30min before closure and we were so lucky that we were still able to get something for Dinner.The best lobster pasta I ever had -honestly. My partner had chicken Alfredo pasta as well as a side homemade Salad and was also very satisfied!This restaurant in Alma is a real diamond and worth to stop by and grab some fresh and delicious food!

I'm a basic person with basic needs - when I read the menu for this spot, I did not want to go. I still wouldn't return but based off of my wife's feedback, I would return if she wanted. There was nothing I ate that was not good - we had a cheese board as an appetizer along with a salad. I ordered the Carbonaro and the wife ordered Arrabbiata - with her first bite she mentioned that it was delicious (hot, but delicious) - she tasted mine and also commented, "that's perfect". It was good, it just isn't something I would order. She looked at other folks dishes when they came out and she mentioned that they were perfect - it was a fine dining and the food looked amazing. I would say it is a gem to Alma!

Great find! We went for coffee one afternoon and discovered the baked goods. The ginger molasses cookies are some of the best. We returned the next morning for breakfast. The egg sandwich was delicious, bacon cooked perfectly. And they had fresh baked blueberry muffins. They were chock full of blueberries, not too sweet and not cakey. These are the best we've had since Diane's in Roslindale, MA closed. For some reason the bakery down the street in Alma gets a lot of play, I'd skip it and go to OGC. Ambiance is simple and friendly. Our server was super nice, even when she was the only one handling multiple tables, making coffee and running the register. If we are back near Fundy we will make this place a destination.

As a vegan, I was so happy to find a restaurant with a vegan option in the area! They have 1 vegan option on their lunch menu - the vegan burrito bowl, which comes with rice, sweet potatoes, corn, black beans, avocado, and greens in a delicious cilantro-lime dressing. It is very fresh, wholesome, filling, and tasty.The only downside is that there's only one vegan option. I do hope to see a few more vegan options in the future though.Their wines and cocktails are reasonably priced but there isn't a huge selection. From the sunny patio you can hear the calming sound of a brook. Service is timely. Great location just minutes away from Fundy National Park - stop here for lunch before a hike!

I appreciated being able to get a latte with non dairy milk! I found it a bit pricey for the area, but not exorbitant. I wish they would offer more coffee/latte options. I didn't try any food, but there were a number of appealing options. My husband said the baked goods were excellent.
