    We absolutely love Swiss Chalet. We go there often. We went last night as a family of four for our…read moreannual holiday meal. Unfortunately it was very disappointing. The booth in front of the window was freezing cold. Had to cover our legs with our jackets. The appetizers we had were terrible. The lettuce in the ceaser salad was wilted. Had very little dressing. The cheese loaf was cold and and lacked cheese. The spring rolls were hot and good. The server of three We had practically threw food on table and left. We waited and waited for our main meals only to have to send back my hubsands rib because it was freezing. They had to be reminded to bring my gravy two times. The whole experience was disappointing..all food was so cold. We won't be back any time soon Unfortunately. Swiss Chalet you can do better!

However tonight me and my family had the worst experience. we had a reservation for 6pm an 8 top. We were seated promptly however it took our server about 15 minutes to come for a drink order. Our server was pleasant but we waited another 10 minutes for drinks. Apps finally came but only half of them. I had to ask for my salad when it came it wasent correct. I asked for no croutons no big deal I picked them off. Took a total of 1 hour and 20 minutes to recieve our order. I was a very basic order. We had no ice for drinks, pop was room temperature. No serrated knives for our meat. I feel like management really needs to step up total lack of team work. Again I want to state that our server was kind and did the best I feel she could do considering the work environment. She was a young red haired lady. I'm hoping this was just an off night, because I am a huge fan of Swiss Chalet.

    East Avenue - Fries sweet chili cauliflower

    Visited this restaurant in New Glasgow NS. It is located in the downtown area…read more We were seated promptly. The service was great as was the atmosphere. We enjoyed the cauliflower appie and the seafood chowder and teriyaki bowl.

    Having been back in New Glasgow for a few months now, we've started to cycle through more…read morerestaurants, after hitting old favourites and new-to-us spots fairly thoroughly. A return(s) to East Avenue was inevitable, and certainly looked forward to. It has to have one of the most beautiful restaurant interiors in northern Nova Scotia - exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and walls dotted with paintings by local artists. For our first visit of 2023, I had the Tamis anghang ($20). Filipino for "sweet and spicy", this is a slightly fancier, single-serving version of sweet and sour chicken. Replacing the cloyingly-sweet sauce at most Chinese-Canadian restaurants, East Ave's Thai chili sauce is much more balanced, with a light punch from the hot pepper that livens up your taste buds but won't scorch them. The chicken was cooked with a deft hand, and the crisp batter held up until the last bite. My wife's duck ragu gnocchi ($29) was a hearty meal, with an impressive amount of rich, shredded duck and fluffy sweet potato gnocchi. If that wasn't enough, shredded parm added even more umami. The sauce was a bit thin and served overly generously, which made the dish a bit soupy, but was otherwise quite delicious. Bonus points for this dish and many others having gluten-free options! They had an impressive crowd for a Tuesday evening and that plus a very large group that came in just after us seemed to make for somewhat uneven service. A return visit had us targeting their patio, sadly one of the few in the non-Pictou towns of Pictou County. Step it up people! We just wanted some mid-afternoon snacks, so we went for a couple appetizers. The fried sweet chili cauliflower ($15) was a tasty app. The mild crunch of the cauliflower gave further crunch to the crisp coating, which did wilt under the slathering of sauce. Said sauce did have a bit more bite than most sweet chili sauces out there, but it won't have you breathing fire. Our kale Caesar salad (side size, $10) was a bit on the healthier side than our deep fried app, and pleasant departure from the standard formula. The mix of kale and romaine paired the strengths of both greens, while chickpeas and tomatoes brought added couloir, flavour and texture. And don't worry, there was still bacon, shaved parm, and a hearty dose of dressing. East Avenue continues to put out generally great food in a killer atmosphere (both inside and out), and I love how much this new business has brought and added to the food scene in the area.

    Sandpiper Restaurant - Lobster roll and potato salad.

    My husband and I ate dinner here tonight. I had the lobster…read moreroll with a side of potato salad. The potato salad was homemade, with egg and a mayonnaise-based dressing. As far as potato salad goes, it was excellent. The lobster roll was perfect, everything a lobster roll should be, in my opinion. The medium-sized lobster pieces (including several claws) were tossed with diced celery and mayonnaise, which was then placed on a Boston lettuce leaf inside a buttered and grilled top-sliced bun. My husband had the Sandpiper Special, a grilled lobster and cheese sandwich. Once again, the person working the grill produced a perfectly browned and toasted bread, and nestled between was saucy, gooey, melted cheese and delicate lobster. He washed it down with a great draft beer from a local craft brewery, Tatamagouche Brewing Company. We shared a strawberry shortcake for dessert. The homemade shortcake was sliced in half and layered with sweet macetated fresh strawberries (perhaps from the strawberry farm just up the road.) A large dollop of real whipped cream towered high above, but proved quickly to be just the right amount so that every mouthful contained the three components of the dish. The food and drinks all arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Our server was friendly and polite. For seven o'clock on a Tuesday night, the place was half full - very impressive. If you're looking for delicious, homemade food, prompt and friendly service, all with a good price, then this is the place to go. I hope we're able to return tomorrow for lunch before leaving the area.

    More of a 3.5 but I'm bumping it up to a 4 for the seafood chowder. And the nice dining area facing…read morethe water. Came here two dinners in a row (because the second night nowhere else was really open) so tried quite a few items on the menu. Really enjoyed the seafood chowder. It was full of seafood and tasted so good. Little shrimps, scallops, pieces of fish. Consistency of the soup was more watery than creamy but I enjoyed it like that. Also tried the battered fried fish and the fish tasted good. For me, the batter was a bit oily though. Still very tasty. The fish cakes were nice and fluffy, and garnished with some sweet marmalade type stuff (not sure what it was). At first I thought there was bacon mixed in but I think it was actually the smoked fish i was tasting. The caesar salad was ok. I felt that it had too much dressing. Tried a sip of the blueberry blonde and it was also just alright. All in all, I found the food to be a little bit of a gamble in terms of whether it would be really tasty or not. It was also odd that the first night we were offered complimentary biscuits with some maple butter of sorts, whereas the second night we weren't offered it. Also on the second night, we were asked where we would like to sit. When I said we would like to sit in the dining area, the waitress told us that the tables weren't set up. I wasn't sure what she was implying by this cause it didn't come with a follow up - did it mean we couldn't sit there or just had to wait? Turns out we just had to wait and after a quick minute it was set up for us and ready to go and the rest of the evening was very nice.

    Solid restaurant with tasty food. The mushroom ravioli is great. Had the basically in-house beer…read moreand it was good. Server was super friendly. Three seating areas: the nice bar, indoor dining room , and lovely outdoor deck with a nice view.
