On our first night in town, we went to Claddagh's. From the outside, the building looked nice but…read moreunassuming, so I was surprised to find the inside had an upscale, polished vibe. At first, I thought I should've worn a button-down shirt, but I quickly noticed a mix of attire--some people dressed up, others in shorts--so it felt welcoming and relaxed. We started with oysters, which were absolutely delicious--completely different from the ones I've had in Florida. For my main course, I ordered the special of the day: baked halibut in a jerk sauce, served with Irish mashed potatoes and shrimp. The halibut was cooked perfectly--flaky, buttery, and flavorful. The jerk sauce added just the right amount of kick. The shrimp were tasty too, though I do wish there had been more of them, or at least a bit larger in size. That was really my only complaint. For dessert, we tried the bread pudding and the sticky date pudding. Both came out hot, rich, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth good. By the end of the meal, we left happily stuffed and excited to explore more of the fish and shellfish PEI has to offer. Service was excellent--our waitress was efficient, friendly, and refreshingly no-nonsense. I'd highly recommend Claddagh's for anyone looking for a great dinner in a warm, lively atmosphere.

A man yelled at me on his bicycle, someone got pulled over - did I care? No! This is what one hopes for when sitting outside. We also had some lovely chats with the couple next to us. The service was excellent! Very attentive and helpful, but with the right amount of, 'I'll let you be.' The food was also very good. The menu online wasn't the most current which made my wife struggle for a moment on what to get. And yet, out of the darkness of the stomach, light. We got "Let's Go Mushrooms!" for the app. I love mushrooms and my wife wasn't sure - but those creamy cremini and umami-rich portabellas changed her mind. It was an excellent dish and it accomplished mush more (see?! see?!) than just being tasty. A convert was born. We also got Seafood Bake - it was decadent and rich, full of unctuous joy. The proteins, as fresh as they can be, sang in unison to create a choral coral effect. Splendid. I'm writing this review now months later because for Christmas Dinner, I'll attempt to make the Let's Go Mushrooms for our app. It was a joy that needs to be shared!

As this is Prince Edward Island (PEI), I had to order the super fresh oysters! Exceptional flavor, color, juice and you could tell these were only a few hours from being caught! They only needed a kiss of lemon and minimal if any Tabasco. Very tender and unique as these were from the St Lawrence River side NOT the Atlantic. If you're looking for a non- touristy place where the locals eat, this is one of those places! For cruisers- it's only 2 more blocks down from the cruise port!

June 23/2026: Solo travel lunch…read more Let's start with the food. I asked my server "Leah L" if the scallops were prepared, battered & finished "in house" she said they were. They WEREN'T. As a lifelong Scallop consumer I KNOW the difference between in-house battered scallops & what's brought in from a food distributor. I ordered a Scallop Meal ($40.99) with fries, which were very good & an extra order of scallops ($16.99). I wouldn't have purchased or even eaten at this spot if they weren't in fact house prepared scallops. The fried scallops were place on a bed of wet lettuce garnishing, everyone knows that when you place something fried on something wet...the fried food becomes soggy! As for the service was ok but I had to ask for a water refill, extra napkins & I ran out of tartar sauce. A really good server monitors their patrons from afar & knows to take care of the things above BEFORE the patrons asks. This location positions themselves as very good but they're just mediocre with really expensive scallops! Keep In mind that this is a very small location with seating for about 20-30 people. I'd maybe do again but I wouldn't make it a destination. From my experience, there's likely better seafood restaurants on PEI.

Dave's Lobster was a highlight. Mr. Bee ordered the Half & Half Lobster Roll. One half of the sandwich was "The Local", which was 1/4 lb. of tender and sweet chilled lobster tossed in seasoned mayonnaise, with crisp celery and fresh chives. The other half of the lobster roll was filled with 1/4 lb. of warm lobster tossed with lemon garlic butter and fresh chives. Both were scrumptious. The flavor of the lobster was sweet. It was really nice to have a chilled half of sandwich and a warm half of sandwich. They both were different, but we couldn't decide on a favorite. I decided no lobster for lunch so I chose a grilled cheese. It was served on the same bread as the lobster roll, but the middle was filled with ooey gooey cheese and then smashed like a panini, it too was different and really good. But that doesn't mean I didn't sneak a bite or two of the lobster roll. The eatery is down on the water in a cute bungalow building. The interior is roomy and so bright and cheerful and spotlessly clean. They offer a few outdoor patio tables, and it was such a beautiful and warm day we ate outside and it was lovely. The service was excellent and the young woman working the counter was so helpful in explaining the different lobster rolls they offer to help us choose and her recommendation was spot on. This was truly the best lobster roll we had on the trip.

The choice of rolls here and most places are to have them cold or warm, and we found we like the cold ones better. The roll comes with a side and we both picked coleslaw. I got a local beer which was a blueberry ale that was pretty refreshing. The food was not as cheap as some places and the two letters MP (market price), typically mean I will be paying more, in this case the roll and side was over $30. There was a generous amount of lobster on the roll and it was fresh but I felt it needed either more mayonnaise or some acid to bring out the flavors. The roll was toasted though and buttery but still lacking a bit. Overall a good lunch for someone who doesn't get fresh lobster rolls often.
