We are fairly new to Nova Scotia and unfortunately this was the worst meal we have had since moving here a few months ago. We had brunch and couldn't even drink the coffee it was so strong and bitter. The waiter seemed very new and stressed out. Could barely eat the brunch skillet. It was floating in about a cup of grease and very small portion. So disappointing.

Unfortunately I would not recommend this restaurant when visiting Annapolis, the service was not great and the wait time for the food was far too long considering it was not busy when we arrived. Sad considering it has potential to be a great restaurant in a lovely location.

a child could make better food then this place and want the real truth look on trip advisor. they have 3.9 rating. it used to be until about 8 mths ago and now its not. i will not be back or recommend to anyone. the service is poor. when you pay with cash and the sever says now i have to go to my pruse to get you change something is wrong with this place. she never checked on the food once after serving it to us. we had to ask for drinks. and when i put a whole order of onion soup to the edge of the table after just giving it to me she never came to see why. we had to go get our bill to pay. and the dressing is not the greatest. since new people have taken over it has gone down hill. i will let people know to go here.

Wife's breakfast was inedible.

Our meal was wrong, the washroom was dirty and the toilet paper was see-through. Food was underwhelming. We ordered bread and dip for an appetizer and got it after our meal.

Probably the worst restaurant we have ever been to. Waited over an hour for fish and chips ! Ordered a side salad … never appeared. My advice AVOID.

The bread dip was great because I think it was brought in and just heated to order. The rest of the food was not great. Cold pizza, bland mussels, questionable fish in the combo platter. Would love to see this place get under 4 stars for an overall rating. People shouldn't be going here. I felt bad for the 1 young server dealing with a full room with little to no training. Even a bartender getting the drinks ready would have helped.

They need to make a lot of changes to win my trust back. 🤢

I would rarely leave a review but this place is obviously struggling. Over 1hr to get a drink (Even water), fryer oil obviously hasn't been cleaned in forever judging by what they served from it. They should be embarrassed by the food served. The cleanliness of kitchen you could see while paying was beyond gross.
Understaffed and the ones that are there seem very untrained.

Unfortunately the other reviews on this place are accurate. The poor server was both left by herself and undertrained. Our drink order took over an hour and the food actually came just prior. Most meals were cold. My blacekend haddock actually had decent flavor but was cold and the smallest portion of fish I have ever seen. Definitely not worth the price and until management does something to shake this place down, it's not worth visiting

I went to this place to try with a date, we sat at the bar and noticed right away that there was only one server on. This server was not only underage but later told us, he just started Wednesday. In the kitchen, they had two people working. Now, this is on a Friday evening at 5:00 on wharf rat rally weekend, and Annapolis was hoping with tourists & live music across the street. So by no means is this any of that staffs fault, but management surely has failed. We waited TWO HOURS for two pizzas. Other people waited so long they got up and left, we watched two tables cancel their orders. The poor server ran out of napkins completely. And he couldn’t even serve alcoholic beverages. Now after 2 hours of waiting- I’d expect an actual margarita pizza .. what I got was some cheese thing with dried oregano on it.. not even basil. I will not be back due to poor management. As someone who used to serve, I know exactly how that poor kid felt. And what a sin. Management should have at least been there to help.

The managers of this place should be ashamed, leaving a young kid alone on the floor, and one guy in the kitchen by himself on a sunny Friday supper rush during wharf rat. Almost 2 hours to get a beer and a small pizza is nuts, and not at all the 2 employees fault. Set your people up for success and staff your restaurant. If you can’t staff it, close it. Awful. And don’t you dare make him pay for our pizzas, that’s on you, not him.
