Stopping in for lunch, I went with their soup and half sandwich. For the soup, I got the daily special, hamburger, and tacked on a turkey sandwich. Oddly, for the sandwich they asked if I wanted lettuce, salt or pepper...and that was it. I guess Gram is staunchly against tomatoes! The sandwich was decent - chunks of actual roasted turkey breast, not sad, slimey slices. It was a bit more minimalist than I'd like, but the good meat and fresh, house-made bread definitely elevated it. The hamburger soup was rich and hearty, with a peppery bite. On a return visit, I was there during breakfast hours. They don't actually have a proper breakfast menu, but I grabbed a glazed cinnamon roll and a coffee. The cinnamon roll was very good - fluffy and fresh, with the added decadence of the icing. The coffee was...what you might expect from an old school bakery in a small town, but it was hot and cheap, so I can't complain.

They've got a solid drip coffee, and at just $2.50 for a large, you can't go wrong. A large chocolate chip cookie was fresh and pleasantly chewy. On a return visit, my wife and I got in just before a steady stream of other lunch customers. I went with the breakfast BLT ($6.50) and a large drip coffee, while my other half opted for the soup and biscuit combo ($6.50). Our food came out very quickly and my BLT was a great example of this classic sandwich: the salt and savouriness of the crisp bacon, bright acidity of the tomato, plus the added richness of a fried egg. My wife was a big fan of her potato and bacon soup - piping hot, smooth and hearty. A big ol' cheddar biscuit was buttery and flaky and just about everything you'd want in a biscuit! River Run is a much-needed independent cafe in downtown New Glasgow that's serving up great cafe bites and coffee while contributing to the community.

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.

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.

This time we were sadly disappointed. The new place is beautiful for sure but the service and food left a lot to be desired. We waited 50 min for our appetizer which was just baked brie which we make at home all the time and doesn't take that long, and yes we realize they were busy but when you watch others seated 10 min after you get not only their appetizers but their main meal it gets very frustrating. After finishing the appetizer we waited another 40 min for our meal. I had the pork loin which was very dry but mostly good. My husband had the scallop and shrimp dish and found it just ok, definitely had better at other places on the island. We skipped dessert because we just didn't want to sit any longer, it was very hot and very loud. From other reviews I guess your experience can either be very good or just ok depending on the time and day you go. For us this time around was a disappointment.
