"What a place! Fantastic food on a beautiful setting right on the ocean. And if the weather doesn't suit your timing, don't miss the beautiful inside. Food was plentiful and tasteful. Very fresh. Staff was very welcoming. Price was reasonable and affordable." 
"A great spot for a nice family dinner in Chester. We ordered the oysters as an appetizer and I had the Atlantic Salmon meal while my wife had the seafood risotto. They were both absolutely delicious and we went with the chocolate torte for dessert, yummm!"
"Excellent location and ambiance. Seafood chowder is fantastic and the scallops were lovely. Beautiful deck overlooking the water and the boats that were parked in the water. Service was excellent and the cheesecake was great. I would highly recommend this place if you are visiting Chester. 30 minutes from Lunenburg and a short drive from Halifax. Parking was also convenient. Local Chester beers on tap." ​​
"Outstanding food and service. Atmosphere very inviting and the views from deck were amazing."
