Had the chicken burger with sweet potato fries, very tasty! Only issue I had was the shredded lettuce; it made eating it pretty messy ?

We live just outside Cambridge Uk.and were over in Pictou to celebrate Christmas with friends, they suggested going to the Marina Bar and Grill. It was the best suggestion they made. We had brunch overlooking the bay. What can I say the food was good, the view was good and the staff were even better.

Monday can be a bit iffy when trying to find a restaurant that's open and that goes for double in a small town. Marina Bar and Grill came to the rescue, and this was as good an excuse as any to make the drive over to Pictou to try them out for the first time.The place was pretty quiet, with just a couple other tables occupied, and we sat out in the sizeable addition at the back. When seeing the work going on last year on both the front an back of the building, I thought that they would be three-season enclosures, but they're better insulated than the house I'm living in right now! It was festive with Christmas lights and a tree still up, and although we were there for dinner and it was pitch black on the harbour, it would make for excellent water views during the day.The menu is relatively small for a bar and grill, just a one-pager, with your standard sandwich and deep fryer fare, plus a heavy slant toward seafood, of course.I went for the one piece fish and chips, while my wife ordered the cranberry and brie chicken wrap with sweet potato fries subbed in.My fish and chips was a decent size - not crazy big, but certainly more than enough for a meal. The fish was quite thick, and while the ends were good and crisp, the rest of the portion had a mushy fish-to-batter interface. Not sure if that's from par-cooking and then sitting around, or coming out of a bag, but here we are. The fish itself was a bit on the watery side, and didn't flake away in even segments, which also made me question its freshness. The fries seemed to be of the from-frozen, skin-on variety, and while not mind-blowing, were still decent, having had a good cook.The packet of Kraft tartar sauce wasn't a surprise, and was a canary in the coal mine for the rest of the meal. A creamy, green cabbage coleslaw was at least a step up from the neon green stuff, although I prefer the vinegar-based ones for cutting through fatty dishes like this.My wife seemed happy with her cranberry and brie chicken wrap, being a big fan of those flavours, and the wrap was a good portion. The sweet potato fries were nice and crisp, and the chipotle mayo had much more chipotle flavour than what you normally get at most places.Service was friendly and attentive during our meal.While I'd been hoping for a diamond in the rough, Marina Bar and Grill was just about what I expected. It's a great spot for the views and not having to cook and do dishes yourself, but temper your expectations.

The new renovations are fantastic! Beautiful wood work, heated floors, wooden tables ! Great atmosphere and service, and the scallops were amazingly good!

There was not enough staff. The two young ladies were amazing but there was no way they could service the customers in a timely manner. They did what they could and did it with a smile. They had no scallops or steak .very limited menu. Definitely not great for a New Year's Eve.

Beautiful new area looking out on the water and a great server!

Good food, particularly fish tacos were really good. A nice selection of local beer, wine, and ciders. The building has some renovations going on but that didn't distract from the setting out on the water.

The Marina Bar and Grill is wonderful. The staff is very friendly and the service is second to none. The view of the waterfront is very beautiful. BTW Go Habs Go.
My mother and I visited the restaurant during a tropical storm (remnants of Sept 2023's Hurricane Lee). The wind and waves were pretty wild but the food and service were great! The attached picture doesn't do the storm justice.

Par Excellence. Hold on to your chef, he is a gem! We enjoyed an excellent steak prepared specially for us when we made the request. The owner was hospitable, friendly and keen to ensure that we received the best meal they could prepare for us, and we were not disappointed! Best wishes in your new endeavour to expand.
