Disappointed in the fish and chips. Wouldn’t recommend for the price and portion

We went on a Sunday night in off season. The food was so delicious. We had oysters, ahi tuna, seafood chowder and shrimp pasta. Service was amazing!! Will certainly be be back. Recommend reservations for sure.

Went to Blue Sail for dinner for Fall Countylicious 2023, I was expecting more. I know these foodie events can be hit and miss, but we were the first table in. I had a fish and vegetable plate, the fish was okay - too much sauce and the veggies were overcooked and didn't have much flavour. My friend's pasta dish was just ok, she said that the noodles were inconsistently cooked. The cheesecake was nothing special, but the chocolate was good. The wine was the best part, so that's a positive. For what we paid, about $60 for the set 3-course menu, I didn't feel it was worth it. I also found the restaurant to be cold and the service was not on point. Hope this feedback helps.

Rachel greeted us to our long overdue visit and excellent experience at this Picton restaurant. We were celebrating an 85th birthday and taking advantage of the Countylicious menu offerings and were not disappointed. The service was fantastic and only exceeded by the great food. Made for a wonderful evening. We will be back.

Loved loved this restaurant…. We have just moved to Prince Edward County from Victoria BC and I must say we fell in love this this restaurant. The food and the service is great. I had the seafood bowl and it was so fresh and beautifully made. Tuna tartar and Ahi tuna with Wantons to die for. One thing you must try though is the carrot cake.

What a great little spot. We had the Surf and Turf and the Risotto(scallops) both where delicious. The steak was so tender and cooked perfectly.

A solid three stars. Sadly, for PEC, I'd say there are better options if you have to spend $30-40 on a dish.TLDR: The portion sizes were small, the presentation was not appealing/creative, and taste was quite basic.The tartar sauce/fish and chips wasn't flavourful at all. It was strangely bland. Side Cesar salad was about 3 forks' worth and we were charged $9 for that - can't imagine how much I would have gotten if I'd ordered the $20 version!Our guests had the sea bowl (didn't complain) and the lobster roll. The lobster roll tasted like it was slathered in mayo, on an upscale hotdog bun. It wasn't what we expected and taste was not satisfying. They didn't end up finishing it :/We also ordered the salmon which was cooked in a very generic way with a scoop of veg on the side... nothing much different than you'd get at a mom and pop diner. (A solid 3 stars but for the competitive market in PEC we expected more.) And sadly my partner said one of the side potatoes (just one of them) tasted rotten or mouldy and he had to spit it out.The server came and asked how the food was, and I tipped my head to say "so-so" and she walked away without saying a word ?♀️Overall we ended up paying about $160 per couple (including oysters to start, and drinks) which is sad because for that amount we should have gone to a nicer restaurant. It was a little embarrassing taking our guests here and them not enjoying the best PEC offers.However, I did enjoy the fries though, and our guests really enjoyed the oysters and the flavour options that came with the oysters were most interesting and diverse! 5 stars for the oysters.Having written all this I've read past reviews and the owners/PR team seems quite nasty and disrespectful to guest reviews (which, I'd imagine is not an endearing when hoping for repeat customers) so we will see how this one lands ?

The portions are quite small, and I'm a pretty light eater to begin with. We had the shrimp caesar salad and the sea bowl. The server was nice.

Deliciously prepared seafood right in Picton by a real Newfoundland chef. The steamed lobster is superb!
This cozy little restaurant was amazing ! The seafood is so fresh because they own a fish shop next door.The owner Jeff & his wife started this during covid and it’s flourishing.Great service & food was beyond!Old classics playing: it’s a must!
I heard the cook yelling. Unsure if it is directed at the employees. For me the time waited for the main meal was around 20 minutes. Waiter and waitress were good though.
