I have never been to the Redwater Rustic Grill in Charlottetown before I have walked by it many times and said when I have a special date I will take them here . So last night Jan 28th 2024 was that night. We had a reservation I had asked for a quiet table in a corner when I made the reservation, they put us in the middle . The waiter asked if we read the special on the way in I said no he looked bothered by the fact that he had to read it to us and for good reason cause he messed it up he was suppose to say apple cinnamon toffee pudding but he said blood animal something instead. Then repeated it the right way we didn't order it . We looked through the wine list and picked a Cab Sav by the glass a wine I was familiar with , he came to show us another one instead as they were out of the one on the menu . So we tried it instead . It was OK. I wouldn't buy that wine for sure . We ordered a appetizer loaded wontons , figuring since this is a fancy restaurant that all appetizers and shareables would be tastfuly small portions we got the wontons it was as big as a full size plate of nachos, it was big , saucy , looked nasty and was not appetizing. Our 2 main courses combined , Mac and cheese and bacon and a 6 oz steak and veggies dwarfed to the size of that appetizer. Now our main courses were excellent very happy with those.Altogether with tip 173.00Odd ServiceBad wineTerrible AppetizerGreat MainsNo dessertNot worth the money .Will I be back , not anytime soon but maybe in the future everyone deserves a second chance.

Our food was delicious and our server, Denys, was exceptional. He was very attentive, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and his added touch of humor was a bonus. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal and excellent service. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

My sister and I enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the restaurant while staying at the hotel and absolutely had great experiences. The food was really tasty and the wait staff were very friendly. We look forward to going back again when we visit the Island next summer.

It feels like a pretty high-end restaurant. The price is not much more expensive than other Internet celebrity restaurants, but the service is very good, the seats are comfortable, and the food is very comfortable.I didn’t order the lobster roll because it had cheese.The seafood soup is full of ingredients ? and the fries are delicious

Where to begin...I had read the menu before we arrived (my birthday) and as I come from South Shore Nova Scotia, I looked forward to the Halibut. It is one of my favourite white fish. It was over cooked, dry, and chewy. Halibut is not supposed to be chewy. The seafood in general was overcooked. Shrimp and scallops. The mussels appetizer came without melted butter for dipping. Altogether an overpriced, not tasty, and disappointing meal. Our server was wonderful however, and that goes a long way with us. She was the best thing about the restaurant. She sent me home with a complimentary sticky toffee pudding which was the one tasty thing. As for ambiance, it was alright, although the choice of music could be better. I am afraid that we will not be returning nor would we recommend it.
Pleasant upscale dining experience in the heart of downtown Charlottetown. Staff are wonderful, prompt, and professional.Food quality varies a bit. Some dishes are great and very tasty. Others are questionable. The veggie risotto was just odd, felt like there were way too many different ingredients competing for the front flavour (Olives won and I personally did not like that it overpowered the taste of everything else). The wonton nachos were good at first, but cooled quickly, leaving a sticky greasy mess that didn't scratch the itch for nachos. Sauteed mushroom side with steak were dry and flavorless, could have used any seasoning or sauce to improve. The red pepper dip and pita chips were great!Cocktails are nice, excellent variety of drinks to choose from and a very large wine tasting menu will please those looking for a relaxed table service experience.Overall a nice place for a few drinks but maybe be cautious about the food choices.Vegetarian options: Few veggie options but you won't go hungry

Fine dining food in a chill atmosphere. Service was top notch! Our server, Chelsea, went above and beyond for us - even when the restaurant became exceptionally busy during our meal.Meals were executed well, serving sizes of our food were standard to large. Wonton nachos - huge! Order of mussels - huge!Wine list was extensive, nice cocktail list as well. Lacking in mocktails. Unfortunate.Great place to visit in Charlottetown if you're looking for locally sourced food in a moody atmosphere.

My husband and I decided to make a reservation for our Anniversary. Booked online easily. Our waiter was very professional. The food was absolutely perfect. My husband and I adored the crab cakes. I had the chicken pappradele and he had the swiss burger. For dessert I ordered the custard tart. This is the 2nd time we've eaten here and it won't be the last! It's tough to find a good restaurant these days, but we were very impressed! Can't wait to go back

Thanks Chelsea and her team for helping me getting a bottle of wine for my best friend’s birthday dinner at the restaurant.Having to call from Australia to order the wine was daunting but the team made it easy and helpful! Love their work and thank you once again.
