Absolutely love this place! I usually go with my cousin and sisters and sometimes colleagues... and we will order a bunch of different bowls and share it all. The menu changes every two weeks and they have maritime beer options. Its a great spot! Recently the menus have changed to be larger portions but also higher prices.

This is part of the PEI NP, shower facilities and several spots along the way in the park to explore... some beaches and washrooms, some do not. From Dalvay to Brackley, all around a great stop... you will need to pay a fee to enter the park.
