Seafood chowder tastes good, which should be expected for the price. I love the cozy ambience here. The service was excellent.

This review is for the one (same) item the three of us ordered so we may give it another try in a few weeks and update if our opinion changes. This place is located on the main stretch of the vert touristy and BUSY stretch in Tatamagouche. It's small - about a dozen tables - so expect to wait if you're coming during the obvious hours (lunch/supper). The three of us got the last table for 4 but it was squishy because the place was packed! Service is friendly and quick! We honestly came specifically for the chowder and didn't try anything else because we all planned a visit to the chocolate shop, the brewery and the winery. The soup was a really good sized portion for $14 and it was creamy - something that's often lacking when you order chowder. It comes with two pieces of baguette which is great to dip into the chowder. The only complaint would be is that the chowder really lacks the staples as advertised. We did find LOTS of shrimp in each bowl, but one of us got one rubbery scallop in our bowl where the other two had none. The fish was also very difficult to catch as it seemed very little made it into the bowls. Despite it being very busy, the service was prompt and the food came out fairly quickly. There was an event going on at the winery up the highway so it is possible the menu was rushed that day. Overall, for the price, I really don't have too much to complain about but it would be nice to find more fish in the chowder. Lots of street parking available and they have an extensive menu. Google/Facebook say closed Sundays, but call ahead because we came on a Sunday in the middle of November and they were definitely open. Worth a shot and the rest of the menu looked like it had some great options.

Wonderful place to find after a long cold rainy day of riding the ferry from PEI. Wonderful atmosphere and friendly owner. The clam chowder was fantastic and the Lobster Bake was excellent.

It's a quaint little place in a nice little village. They have a large menu for such a small place with a wide enough selection to be able to cater to many tastes. The service could have been faster but that may have been due to the extra staff running late. The food was good and my burger was obviously made in-house with no filler. The problem was that the patty had broken in half so it wouldn't stay in the bun making it too messy to eat with the hands, and having to use a knife, and fork, defeats the purpose of ordering a burger in the first place. I'm sure that was a one-off so I'd go again.Dietary restrictions: My grandmother is gluten-free and they had her covered.
Lobster roll was excellent, and the sweet potato fries were great. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Lovely lunch on the patio.

Despite the recent poor reviews of this cafe, we wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, the recent reviews proved accurate. The service was incredibly slow: we waited over an hour for two chowders and a sandwich. The food was fine, but not more than that and certainly not worth that wait. All in all we were there almost two hours, most of it waiting for service. Clearly they need more wait staff and organization in the kitchen.

This was one of the best restaurants along the north shore. It truly is a hidden gem for seafood.

I had the chowder and the jacked up burger. Both were probably the best I've ever eaten and I've eaten many. Trust me.
