A bit pricey (but we had the most expensive item on the menu), I also dont mind paying for quality food and service. Most places are expensive and they do not deliver excellence. We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious our meal was.
Portion sizes arent huge, which we appreciated as it left us feeling full but not like we were over stuff or being wasteful.
For dinner we had the NY striploin steak (4oz as we wanted dessert) with a red wine reduction sauce. Well.... Let me tell you, best steak ever! Vegetables and potatoes were cooked to perfection, plus the steaks came topped with garlic butter and huge portion of onions and mushrooms on the side made in the same garlic butter! The Keg used to be good, and we've been so disappointed the past few years, that were thrilled to find a place that can create a delicious meal for a fair price (comparative to other restaurants)
For dessert we each had a big piece of coconut cream pie, which was unbelievable.
Spent $170 overall with tax and tip included. Considering we eat out a couple times a year, this was very fair considering what we received.
The next morning we each had Eggs Benedict, which was also great!
Hats off to the chef and the staff!

Delicious smells coming from the restaurant while we checked into Inn on the Lake. Came down for dinner. Penne with chicken and bacon was excellent. My companions had the seafood casserole and said it was great. We went back for breakfast the next morning and were very happy with that too.

Food was terribly cooked. Bacon could be made into bacon bits and the hash browns were terrible. Cheese in sandwich only half Melted.

This was one of the best meals we had on our Nova Scotia, PEI vacation. We saw the sign from the highway as it was near the airport. We decided to go for dinner and we so glad we did. We had the scallop dinner, and a baked halibut special. For dessert, we enjoyed the most delicious blueberry shortcake. Our server was friendly, super fun and definitely a very hard worker. We wish we’d sernit the night before as we would have eater here two nights.

Seafood chowder was good for Nova Scotia standards (not great as photos from other reviews of Nova Scotia's best chowders) but tasty and would recommend. Fish fry was just ok, fries and slaw: the fish was like a frozen processed deep-fried and would not recommend. The crepe chicken & mushroom was good, also their quiche with salad, the red-beet salad could be recommended if they switched the beets they used to chunks not canned circles (poor presentation of cafeteria style food). Spinach salad with chicken was ok too. The chicken club with baked potato was good. The highlight of the week was their "pasta marina" and easily the best dish of all the above.

Restaurant is located at The Inn on The Lake. We made reservations and were seated in front of the large fireplace. A very beautiful location. The server was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant had tables closed and signs to encourage and follow COVID rules. Everything was spotless. We had nachos to start and they were very good with lots of toppings. We also had the fish and chips and a chicken wrap and fries. Both were excellent and larger that we expected. The server kindly offered a take out container for the leftovers. Sadly no room for dessert. This was our first visit and we look forward to going again.

My wife and I both had the Seafood Caseroles. The presentation was great, so was the speed, temperature, portion, etc. Everything was great here and the ambiance was not too busy and crowded for a Saturday night. We both had the to die for Coconut Cream Pie, for dessert. This is a hidden gem in Halifax !
We ate at this restaurant twice, both times with a group oh six and eight. we were seated in a small but comfortable dining area which provided us with privacy. Food was great, staff was attentive. Highly recommend.

This is definitely one of those rare gems off the beaten path that is worth your time to visit. The dining room is quite warm and pleasant, and the menu offers good variety. No matter where you go in all of Atlantic Canada, you will not find a better seafood chowder. My local colleagues from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia agree; it’s the very best!

We came here for lunch the service was amazing and the food so delicious. I had the spinach salad and sandwich and soup of the day which was tasteful and beautiful presented. The apple crumble was to die for. The bread is fresh out of the oven and bake to perfection. Thank you for a amazing experience.

My husband and I had a meal here to celebrate our 49th anniversary. Mentioned this, but server made no mention of free photo to remember it. Service was great, food good. Just a few minor complaints, like hating salad in a bowl, buttermilk dressing clumpy, veggies and potato far too much peppercorn, could not eat, and salmon did not have enough dill sauce, hubbies tomato cream soup far too thick. Bread was great, butter soft, I hate hard butter on bread. All in all, a good meal.
So good!
