We visited on a warm and humid August evening. The sign read "Island's longest salad bar" and while…read morewe could not independently verify that assertion, we can confirm it was one of the longest we have seen. The food was great and service was very friendly. We had a wonderful time cracking the lobster and enjoying it hot with butter. Lots to choose from for an after dinner treat -. The strawberry shortcake was particularly delicious while the kids enjoyed the ice cream. A great experience and wonderful time!

I have been going here for years and I grew up in Sherwood PEI. Tonight I had the worst lobster I…read morehave ever had in my life. I explained to the server it was horrible and they apologized and offered another one, but I explained I was full and could not do it. She was kind and apologetic but said it's not your fault. The lobster was soo cooked there was very little meat in the claws and what was there was stuck to the side of the shell and had to be somewhat scraped from the shell which really was not enough meat to make it worth it. I complained Ed in the way out and one of the managers said if it was over cooked they all would have been. I have been eating and cooking lobster since I was in my teens. He looked at me and said so what do you want me to do. Lots of people try this to get a meal. I said obviously you are not going to do anything and I left saying we would not be back. As a Veteran, I will pass this on to other Veterans and let them know they are probably better off to go to New Glasgow lobster suppers.

While on the Island for a few days, one of my dinner targets was Brickhouse. My wife and I weren't…read moreable to make it the last time we were in town, but this time it was front of mind. We arrived on a Thursday evening in early June, and the restaurant wasn't quite half full, with tourism season still spinning up to full capacity. We were seated upstairs, which, like their whole space, gives the historic brick building centre stage. The menu a decent size for a place of Brickhouse's pedigree, with several apps and about a dozen mains. They were of the typical sort you'd expect to see in an up-casual restaurant, plus more seafood since you know, it's PEI. It's not particularly inventive or exciting, but there was still plenty of interesting options. I was feeling like some Island beef, so I opted for the short rib, while my other half went for the mac and cheese, with the gluten free noodles subbed in. The large chunk of boneless beef was ultra tender and juicy, and the velvety jus amplified that even more. The seasonal veg was a bit sparse and not especially exciting, but the crisp slices of roasted potato were a welcome addition to the plate. It's hard to have a bad mac and cheese, and Brickhouse passed with flying colours - plenty of cheesy goodness, and a nice bit of browning from some time under the broiler. A side salad of everything bagel-style Caesar salad could have used some more seasoning to make the famous bagel flavour more prominent in an already garlicky and savoury dish, but I appreciated the creative spin nonetheless. For dessert, we split the triple chocolate espresso cake. It presented really well, topped with a sliced strawberry and a dusting of confectioner's sugar and cocoa powder, in a pool of white chocolate pastry cream, but the execution wasn't quite up to the visuals. The cake was on the dense side, and wasn't moist enough to compensate, and the espresso flavour was MIA. Service was easy going and attentive. Brickhouse is lovely space in the heart of downtown Charlottetown, but the kitchen needs a little more attention to detail to truly stand out. It can be easy to coast by in a very touristy place, but people appreciate creativity and quality, no matter where they're from.

Another PEI spot where freshness takes centre stage, but with its own distinct personality. While…read moremost oysters along the island's northern coast trace their origins to Malpeque Bay, only those harvested here can officially be called Malpeque oysters. And at Malpeque Oyster Barn, you're eating them just steps from where they're pulled from the water--sometimes within hours. The setting is part of the charm: an old fishing shack that's been turned into a small, inviting dining room with views of the harbour. It's casual and unfussy, the kind of place where the smell of saltwater mixes with the sound of gulls outside. We kept things classic--Malpeque oysters, mussels, and a lobster roll. The oysters were some of the best we had on the island, briny and clean with that signature Malpeque sweetness. The mussels were plump and tender, and the lobster roll came with a side of creamy potato salad (yes, I know, I keep talking about the potatoes--but it's PEI, and they really are that good). It's not just about the quality here--it's about proximity. Eating oysters this close to where they're harvested gives a sense of place you can't replicate off-island. Friendly service, incredible seafood, and an authentic maritime atmosphere make Malpeque Oyster Barn a stop worth planning your trip around.
