A quaint house on the corner. Artwork on the walls that reflect the circus.... Reservations a must! Greeted with a smile and we sat in the bar area. There was a staff turn over while we were there, and it was seamless. The workers flowed effortlessly. The old fashioned (General Scott) was delicious. So smooth and comforting. The raspberry mule was also delicious. They have home made ginger ale - I had the watermelon and it was perfect. The appetizers were great. Tuna crudo and Major Tom's steak on toast were absolutely amazing. We decided to order meals, as the apps were so good. Blue salmon, with root veg, superb. Ribs and Mac and cheese, fall off the bone meat and coleslaw that was the best on the island! The piri piri chicken was delicious, except the skin was on the chicken and it had a thick layer of fat beneath the skin that was inedible. We had the ube cheesecake for dessert and it melted in our mouths and was light and lush. Definitely hit this spot up! read more

This restaurant was nestled a little away from the rest of the Charlottetown eateries. It was very nice on the inside with some cool blue bar seats. We sat outside in the front but protected from the sidewalk and elements - there were pillows and blankets in case it got chilly. We were able to walk right in. The food was great. Not a ton of vegetarian options - may have just been a salad. The drinks were fun and good - I got a strawberry mojito that was refreshing not sweet. Service was excellent. read more

Excellent food great atmosphere. We had the seafood chowder and it was outstanding! Great craft cocktails too!

I have never had a bad experience here. The food is amazing and the service is impeccable. Also great entertainment. Highly recommend.

Staff were super nice. We wanted to sit on the patio but it started to spit rain so they graciously moved us inside. Decor is fun and a little fancy but can dress casual. Everyone loved their food. I got the lobster Bao which was a top seller. Sooooo good. Bun was so soft and fresh. Lots of lobster. Crab cake benny had great flavor and good portion. Tuna taco was my least favorite but I think it was the kimchi flavor I'm not a fan of . Overall 100% recommend this one. read more

This was an excellent choice! We sat in the covered area right off the street and we got to watch street-things happen. 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! read more

A hidden gem tucked away on a side street is where you'll find this amazing local gastro. We stopped by here for dinner as our first restaurant and it did not disappoint! Laura was exceptional, friendly and attentive to us, checking at the right time for our orders and anything else we needed. Food and drinks were delicious, fresh and reasonably priced at the perfect portion to satisfy our hunger. Try the slaymaker house lager and raseberry radler. Burger is a must, flavoured with an amazing sauce and juicy burger meat. PEI blue dot steak also just melts in your mouth. If you're a crème brûlée fan, you must have that for dessert. Overall exceeding our expectations and would definitely go back again. read more

We had visited the blue mussel and loved it. Were told about the owners other restaurant in Charlottetown and wanted to try it. Started out very nice. Lovely tables outside - very cozy with umbrellas, blankets and patio lights. Food was delicious. Wine list very limited but average. Canada seems more into beer than wine. Coming from the US that's different. We were having a wonderful evening until the two couples to our left began rudely making fun of religious people very loudly. Their conversation was very offensive and not appropriate for the setting. More appropriate for a loud bar area if appropriate at all. They then continued loudly discussing American politics and very loudly giving their opinions and insults to a particular US Presidential candidate all the while saying they all were Canadian. We found it all too disturbing. It ruined a perfectly good day and evening. My advice would be to get a reservation inside and hope these couples or ones like them are not your neighbors. One way to get visitors from other countries not to visit your tourist areas is to talk rudely about them. read more

Amazing!!! Absolutely amazing! Without a doubt, the best gumbo I have ever enjoyed in a restaurant outside of New Orleans! My compliments to the Chef, your gumbo hit every high point - from the first taste, omg, perfectly seasoned, I could taste just about every ingredient - the sausage, the chicken, the veggies -cooked perfectly al dente, the pepper, salt, perfectly seasoned! The finish ramped up the spice heat - to a perfect level. Just enough spice heat to make it memorable. And the subtleness that the taste finished with was again amazing. I would challenge Bobby Flay with this dish! Ok, enough on the food. The service was excellent, from the warm greeting as we walked in the door all the way through the meal. Attentive in every way! As for the ambiance - what can I say about a restaurant/bar in a beautifully restored and appointed turn of the century home! Excellent in every way. They say we eat with our eyes first, and these folks take that to a new level!!! Well done owners and team of Slaymaker & Nichols, well done!!! One more thing, We have eaten gumbo on our travels throughout the Southern US - we lived in Florida for a while - so we are no strangers to it. This is award winning gumbo, you will definitely enjoy it! read more

The inn we had booked in Charlottetown (which will remain nameless) lost our reservation. To their credit, they found us a room here, and we're glad they did. The establishment is primarily a gastropub, but they have 3 rooms upstairs and we were perfectly happy with ours. No TV, but a private balcony. The owners were nothing but cordial and accommodating. We ate a very delicious breakfast of eggs benedict here. If we are ever back in Charlottetown, I would definitely stay here again, and probably try to book dinner too, since their breakfast was so good. Highly recommended. If you want a room, definitely make a reservation, as they only have three. If you're staying somewhere else, have a meal here. You probably will need a reservation for that too. read more

Wow. We loved this restaurant! They called several times to ensure our tables were still reserved because we were delayed at two border crossings for hours taking COVID tests. The manager couldn't have been more helpful or charming. He was good to recommend favorites. We LOVED the food. We tried charcuterie boards, salads, and desserts. read more

Great tasting food. Good service. Nice ambiance. Would recommend. Yelp wants more word: good, good, good.

Dinner was absolutely fantastic. We ordered the cerviche on avocado, the butter board, and the lobster bao buns to split. I had the portobello wellington and my husband had the seafood bake. He said it was the best seafood bake he has ever had. The butter board was heavenly, it was cesear salad inspired. The bao buns were perfect and who knew radish tasted so good with lobster Also ordered the PB&J Old Fashioned (which came with 2 cookies) and the strawberry mojito. The staff was also excellent! Especially Katherine, I think was her name. We can't wait to go back! read more

The charcuterie board was amazing! It's nice to see some seafood on the board instead of the usual meat & cheese. We loved the pickled elements specifically the watermelon & grapes. I enjoyed my potato crusted haddock main with potato dauphinoise (my first time & it was my favorite part of the dish). The roasted veggies were also my fav... pretty much all the veggies which tells you how well they do it since I'm a meat eater. Unfortunately my husband's main (piri piri chicken) was dry plus they added an element to the dish without consulting him. When we told our server, she took it off the bill which was really kind of her to do. Lastly, their blueberry coconut mojito (no alcohol) was amazing! read more

Absolument Délicieux! Un endroit a ne pas manquer lorsque vous venez a l'I.P.E! Tout a été parfait et le service était excellent. Nous étions en famille avec des ages qui varient de 7 a 77 ans et tous ont adorés la nourriture et l'ambiance! Collectivement, nous avons commandés - la planche de charcuterie - le steak ribeye sur un risotto de portobello fumé. - le " seafood bake " (ne pas oublier de commander aussi des toasts a l'ail). - la buratta - le " confort food chicken " - la torte banane / chocolat avec creme anglaise au beurre d'arachide et caramel salé au bourbon. Tout était extraordinaire. read more

Slaymaker & Nichols - Seafood Bake - Portuguese Near Me - Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Not sure what is Portuguese about it. Sat outside. Overall food was good. Mussels starter was delicious but a bit on the small side. Halibut was good. Lobster burger was essentially a lobster salad over powered by aioli on a bun. Nothing burgery about it other than the bun. Triple threat burger very tasty. Potatoes served with burgers not at all hot, tasty but room temperature. Mousse desserts are to be avoided, incredibly disappointing. Server noticed we ate a tiny bit of it and did not offer to reverse it off the bill when we quickly refused it take it with us - complete waste of $12. The marinara the mussels was served in was very tasty and asked for some bread to soak up the left over sauce. Was charged additional 4.50 for a slice of toast, a bit excessive. Service was good and server was attentive other than not addressing the dessert issue. Will not be returning. read more

Amazing service and quality! We love to visit this fine establishment. The food is always top notch.

Everything. We were not impressed at all. We did not enjoy our meal and the ambiance was terrible.

Great food, atmosphere and service, have dined there at least a dozen times for brunch and apps, every time it's 5 stars.

Great atmosphere, extremely friendly staff, really good food! Highly recommend the Potato Crusted Haddock.

Service lacking. We went partly because of reviews that raved about the cocktails. No reservation, so we were prepared to be turned away. However, host said he would clear a place at the bar. He quickly did that, and we sat down in front of a busy bartender. It would have been hospitable to at least make eye contact, perhaps half a smile, or some acknowledgment that we existed, but, alas, it was not to be. After 10-15 minutes, a waitress appeared to ask if we wanted to order drinks or food. Apparently it is basically a service bar, where the bartender just makes drinks, and does not interact with the customers. OK, that's all right, just let the customer know what to expect. He was extremely busy making drinks for the whole place. Now I'm nitpicking, but I ordered an Old Fashioned, not real sweet from the waitress, who was pleasant. It came very sweet, so I doubt the bartender got the message. Fish cakes were OK, and the meatball appetizer was good. The initial impression was unfriendliness, not hospitality, and I was getting ready to leave when the waitress appeared, so we stayed. Just a little friendliness would have created a better impression. read more

This is a unique dining experience and the food is delicious .The same people own the highly successful Blue Mussel Cafe in Rustico ; and this group knows how to serve some great dishes and offer friendly attentive service . The restaurant itself is beautifully appointed and now has a gorgeous deck for outdoor dining . The meals can be shared as small plates or eaten individually . We have tried quite a few items; some of our favorites include - Little French Dips ( must start for your meal ! ) , Chicken Wellington Pot Pie , Patatas Bravas and Chicken Aji Verde . Desserts are wicked and the Butter Tart Cheesecake is decadent. In summary , this new dining experience in Charlottetown is well worth trying ! read more
