Periwinkles at Beach Street Inn

Our first meal on our Bay of Fundy trip was disappointing. We were recommended the meatball appetizer which tasted like it was either burnt or had the tomatoes roasted over propane. The gas taste was over whelming. I had ordered the bolognese as a main and when they told me that the sauce was the same I asked to switch to the seafood pasta. I was told that the main was already up and it was too late. The main came more than ten minutes later.
My wife had the salmon but the molasses coating while sounding promising , was overwhelming. The veggies were good.
We ordered a refill of drinks to go with our mains shortly before finishing our app. They came a while after our mains.
We ordered tea at the end of our meal. It never came. The waitress apologized but she wasn’t sure what we were waiting for. We just asked for the bill.
The place is beautiful, very close to the water. There was a tent outside for pre dinner drinks.
They have an amazing drink menu that offers flights of drinks including, beer, wine and cocktails.
I am disappointed in our experience that had so much potential.

Our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed dinner. We had a private dining room for our group. Food, Service & atmosphere were all great. Beth, the owner, was awesome and our server Brittany was also great. All of us enjoyed our time at the restaurant.

The cafe helped us to arrange a birthday gift for a family member who was visiting. The team at Periwinkle were very helpful and responded quickly to our questions and emails. I can only imagine the amazing service and experience one would have in person.
Thank you again for making the birthday person’s day extra special.

Really nice place with great service and good food. We were able to sit outside with our drinks while we waited for our food.

My group and I tried to have breakfast here and were made to feel unwelcomed and forgotten about. We left without ordering food and staff were unconcerned as to the reason we would come in, ask for menus, get coffees and then leave 30 minutes later.
Also, their online hours say they are open until a certain time, but when we called ahead to see if we could be accommodated for dinner we were told that the kitchen was closing in a few minutes - 2 hours before their stated online closing time - and that only a couple of appetizers would be available after the kitchen closes.

My family and I were not staying at the Beach Street Inn but found Periwinkles online as a place to eat while visiting St. Martin’s, it is listed as a restaurant. We went to the location for breakfast and the place appeared to be busy with people staying at the Inn. After waiting to be seated for several mins, we had to approach staff to seat us at a table and waited 15 minutes for menus. We were brought coffee and we asked a question about a dietary restriction. The server left to ask the kitchen staff our question and never returned. The staff was attentive to other customers and tended to clearing and setting tables around us but did not ask to take our orders, answer our question or bring the water we had asked for. After 20 more minutes, we decided to pay for our coffees and go. The staff did not ask why we were leaving and didn’t seem to remember that we had been sitting at a table drinking coffee. We felt as though this establishment is focused entirely on the customers of their Inn and not at all interested in walk-in customers for the restaurant. We went next door to the Coastal Tide Restaurant and had 2 excellent meals for breakfast and dinner that day.

Amazing and beautiful Inn! Lovely owners and employees, excellent food and service and the most beautiful ambiance you could dream of. Highly recommend the experience.

The food and atmosphere at this place is to be raved about. The server we had was kind but was slow at moving throughout the ordering process, getting drinks, taking orders, bringing refills, taking desert orders, etc. We ended up having to ask a different server to bring our bill as our server disappeared.

Periwinkles Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, the service was fantastic—the staff was incredibly kind and attentive. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, with well-kept grounds and stunning views. The food was the best I've had in years! I ordered the chicken stuffed with spinach, and every bite was pure bliss. The lava cake for dessert was truly a showstopper, and I can say it was even better than the one I had at my wedding! I can't recommend this place enough for its wonderful food, atmosphere, and service.

We had a lovely meal! The ambience is pretty both outdoor and indoor), service is nice and food was good too! The seafood pasta was excellent. My husband had the meatball pasta and thought it was good. Desserts were also good and wine prices are reasonable.
