The Lobster Bar Restaurant - Pictou

Meal was excellent, service to match. Outdoor porch seating. Very good value! Another Nova Scotia keeper.

We walked over from our B&B and found a friendly welcome, nice atmosphere and a big screen TV with the Blue Jays in action. My wife ordered the rib steak (which she really enjoyed) while I had the pan seared scallops (very tasty) along with...More

We chose this place for dinner from among the restaurants on the waterfront in Pictou, and it was a good choice. The atmosphere and decor were welcoming and comfortable and our waitress was friendly and helpful. We had steamed mussels as a starter - very yummy. Don't remember what we had for dinner but everything was very good and reasonably priced. Seafood is their specialty and they do it well.

We decided to treat ourselves to a fresh lobster lunch. There was not much good to report about our experience. The lobster was not entirely fresh, the baked potato was not fresh but reheated, tough and dry, the "homemade" tartare sauce was a paper thimble of sour cream. We were served "fresh" milk for our tea which curdled when we put it in the tea. Our tea went cold whilst waiting for fresh milk to arrive. When it did arrive the waitress was not sure if it was fresh or not so we opted for the little single serve creamers instead. We would not recommend this place in any way. It cost us over $50 and we needed to get food elsewhere after the experience because we were still hungry after leaving most of what was served up to us on the plate.

Only restaurant open in town at 8pm and were rushed to have the kids out by 9pm. Food was adequate but nothing special. Ordered takeout fries and coleslaw after our meal which were very overpriced.The quantity of coleslaw served with fish dinners is negligible. it's gone with one mouthful.
