The Canteen had a cozy atmosphere. The menu had lots of delicious options. I was hoping to try their lobster roll but it was a seasonal dish. I had the haddock sandwich and soup. The sandwich was good but the soup was delicious. Service was great.

Had my birthday dinner there last night and I have nothing but 5 stars for everything. Our waiter Marc was knowledgeable, funny and professional. His service was truly outstanding! The crab dip was to die for and the scallop risotto was perfectly decadent and rich. The atmosphere was classy and sophisticated but welcoming and charming. I’d go back in a heart beat :) 100% recommend

They didn't even have the lobster roll on the menu due to the season, my mistake trying to order it without researching the timing at all, but our server was kind enough to have the kitchen make an "amuse bouche" (pictured) with the lobster crab blend, a tiny hint of lemon zest and dill on top, made for a mind blowing bite... I'll be back one day for the whole roll ? maybe 2 or 3.The chowder was similarly amazing, every flavour bursting through especially the smoked haddock. My wife has the burger and was quiet the entire time since it was way too good.

Not a foodie and don't love when simple things are complicated in attempts to 'elevate them' (oranges in tartar sauce!?). Didn't find the flavours very balanced, though recognize my own simplicity and don't really blame the chef. Service was as good as service gets. Kind, attentive, considerate, and genuine.Great drink menu, nice atmosphere.

Wow the food here is great! I had the octopus special and I don't even eat octopus but it was so good! My only complaint is the chairs... Just cheap flimsy plastic lawn chairs. Could do better. But the food and drink make you forget that first sit down

We've been hear twice now (my husband 3x), once for lunch and then for breakfast. My French toast (not pictured) was like eating a hug. Best I've ever had. My husband loved the lobster eggs Benny. The mimosa was lovely and the gentlemen who served us was just wonderful. Will definitely be going back.
Excellent friendly staff. The food is fantastic and very creative. The desert is delicious.

We walked in and immediately became hungrier. The smell of the food wafting through the restaurant was incredible.The staff was friendly and welcoming.We both had the Italian sausage sandwich special and then a brownie for desert. We were both full and very happy by the time we left.Excellent spot to stop if you're hungry and not looking to break the bank.

We didn't have a reservation, but got a seat in the back room. Still very charming. Lots of room between tables. Quick and very pleasant service. I ordered the chicken noodle bowl (Raman-isque), and my friend ordered the chicken sandwich Daily Special. The food was hot and delicious. We enjoyed our lunch and surroundings. I will definitely return to check out the rest of the menu.
Casual but next level food.
