Fundy Dockside Restaurant and Bar
Reviews
Booked a whale watching tour online only to get there and find out they don't do them anymore. Why would you not update your website? Now we have to call the bank to request a chargeback. The lady we talked to wasn't helpful at all and was really rude. Don't book any tours with these people!
My family and I stopped here, and being famished from the coastal drive we were currently on, you would think any food would be good food. Not the case with this restaurant! First we though, we should order the scallops because they're "world famous" Well for a place that is world famous for their scallops, they sure haven't taken the time to learn how to cook them. Maybe they had a new chef, maybe they were under staffed or maybe they just don't care about the product they serve. $20 for a few scallops you would think that they would have someone proper in the back to make sure they are done correctly. Terrible! , a viewer of the T.V. show Hells kitchen could cook better scallops. When I sent the scallops back because I said my Medicare doesn't cover poising in a sarcastic but these are crap way, the waitress took it upon her self to display the attitude she has been so gracefully working on. Gratuity at this point was greatly deducted. Secondly, the serves was terrible. you would think that for a place that needs tourism to maintain a business through the shoulder seasons that they would be grateful for the folks from out of town. Wrong again! The young lady was to busy fraternising with the locals at the bar to realize we have been seated and awaiting what most folks call "service" Thirdly, the washroom were a flashback from the movie Trainspotting, great movie but not to the point were I was big enough fan to let such filth not disrupt my call to nature. So I thought to myself, "while in Roman" kidding. I did not urinate on the floor like the hundred locals did before me. Lastly, I'm not one to write reviews on places I have visited along my travels,but this one had to be reported before salmonella and a urinary infection take my life. People of the world you have been warned!
Nice. Really nice. Club house was done right. Pricey beer but great service
We paid around $80 for two of us including a shared appetizer and dessert, 1 beer and 2 main courses & tip. The food was EXCELLENT and absolutely DELICIOUS! We had scallop chowder and scallop main courses. They were cooked to perfection and perfectly juicy and soft, not hard like most places overcook them. The waitress seemed a little busy when the rush came in but did a good job of staying on top of things. The view is spectacular, we were on the patio overlooking the rising lowering tide throughout dinner. The glass walls give some protection from the wind, but it can still get cold at night.
The food at this restaurant is delicious! The bar downstairs is a great atmosphere! I recommend going to the restaurant, stepping downstairs and having a drink and enjoying the view of the harbor. I do recommend staying far away from the kayaking service. That is the whole reason I only give this place 3 stars. I'd give the restaurant 5 stars and the kayak place 1 star. We basically showed up and were put in a kayak and sent off with no information, no suggested places to go visit, no warnings of the afternoon winds that picked up, no offer to have a skirt for the kayak...nothing. When we kept asking about places to visit the girl got a bit rude and kept saying "welI already told you." We were given no safety info but thank goodness we've both kayaked before. We paddled out to Sand Island (the only place she told us about) and it went well but we were not warned about the afternoon wind and had a scary trip back to the harbor with blowing head winds and rough seas. We took on so much water basically I pumped water out of the boat while my husband paddled. We almost capsized everytime I tried to stop pumping. Only when we got back did we see a bunch of skirts hanging off to the side. We would have definitely appreciated the offer to have those skirts before the trip. My husband and I are strong paddlers and in shape thank goodness or we would have been in a bit of trouble. I'd stay far away from the kayak place and just enjoy the food and dock
