Harbour house ales and spirits

Food was delicious. I had a seafood chowder which was one of the best I've had on my trip, and also haddock tacos which were good but I thought the taco was too thick for my liking and there could've been a bit more flavor. My partner had the seafood casserole that he said was delicious.

Service seemed slow. I didn't think it was super busy, but it felt like we waited a while for our food. We did have 5 people at our table so maybe that's why it was slower?

We had 2 people in our party with mobility issues, so we did learn that the ramp has some ledges that were difficult for them to push up their walker. The ramp was also quite far from the main entrance, if the side door was open it probably would've been easier. And we had to drop them off at the front and then park since there is no parking directly in front of the restaurant unfortunately. There is a parking lot in the back but I didn't notice how access was from that side.

I have been here several times for both lunch and dinner; plus special group gatherings. The staff are very friendly and work hard to give you the very best experience. The food is absolutely scrumptious.

Great food

Great food, Great service!

Love this place nice cozy and friendly service.

It’s sad when a restaurant is this run down and dirty and empty. We walked back out and went to Nook & Cranny.

What a wonderful find. Amazing friendly staff. The seafood soup and lobster roll was outstanding. Highly recommended

Food was fabulous, sat outside on the deck, sun was shining. The service was great and I couldn't have asked for a better day to enjoy food outdoors. Great way to spend a summer afternoon.

We had one of the worst meals here at the Harbour House in our 12 years of travelling Nova Scotia. We were excited to try this new place for great seafood. My partner was given not fresh fish cooked from frozen (iykyk) the batter was the best thing on my partners plate. My plate was a chicken club that I couldn't bite through it was so dry and fries that were cooked in the oven. The waitress came and took my plate which only had two bites out of it and didn't ask if anything was wrong. Along with the bad food came an extremely long wait well over and hour to get our food with not many patrons in the restaurant. I don't usually have anything negative to say in these reviews but this time unfortunately it was warrented.

The chowder was hands down the best I have ever eaten. My husband had the parm crusted halibut. It was delicious. However the fries that came with the meal were minimal. That was very disappointing. For my sister in laws bday she wanted mussels. There was none. A suggestion could be that the server let the table know before the order?
The atmosphere of the restaurant was just ok. Greek salad was delicious.
Our experience was satisfactory.
It was a little pricey for what we got.

Quick stop in Pictou. I was hoping for lobster roll but it wasn’t on the menu.
Service was quick, we ordered a club sandwich combo & seafood linguine. Pasta had a good ratio of seafood to pasta. Food arrived hot and tasted great. Would definitely recommend and return again.

Absolutely the worst meal I have had in a restaurant in years. I odered the breaded haddock. I have written on a piece of paper thicker than my piece of fish and the paper would have had more flavour. Even drowning it with tasteless tarter sauce couldn't moisten the fish.
Fries were cold and burnt. Needless to say, I won't be back !!!!
