Clams were great and service was good and quick. I had a wrap and it tasted VERY off. Not sure if the bacon bits were the artificial ones or not.... I told the waitress and she said "oh does it? I'll let the kitchen know." and I was never offered a discount or a re-made wrap... Kind of dissapointing for a 4 year wedding anniversary to not enjoy your meal :(

Nice ambiance, diverse menu and a stellar view of Cardigan. Menu is fairly seafood-heavy but had lots of "turf" options as well. My sangria and poke bowl were both a little disappointing - the latter lacked flavour - but the rest of our group opted for more traditional seafood and beer options all of which seemed to be tasty and high-quality

Excellent service, food was delicious, I had the halibut with rice, mango salsa & vegetables but I especially enjoyed the bread pudding for dessert. Yum!

It was our 50th anniversary and we had been going there for the past 5 years or so and the service was always excellent as it was this time. My wife loves fried clams and I like steak and both dishes were cooked perfectly and seasoned properly. I was a little dismayed because they would not substitute a garden salad instead of fries without an up-charge but it was no big deal because the clams and steak were enough on their own. Great place to eat with excellent service and awesome food..... Bryan Haley..Montague PE

Reserved window seat well in advance for 49th Anniversary. We were 5 minutes late arriving due to a road closure so our table was gone. Our waitress could of had us wait about 10 minutes for another window table to finish but kinda insisted we take the table we got. We felt no specialness was given to us on our very special occasion. I even had to ask for more water. My casserole of fish and potatoes was definitely much more potatoes. Just not exactly the kinda Anniversary meal we were hoping for. We would go back and try again but only if in the area. We traveled from Summerside to Cardigan to celebrate here but it was really just another meal out. The reservation did say we were celebrating our 49th Anniversary but no effort at all was made at re this.

The view was the best thing here and we sat outside. I think for the price we paid food was overpriced. I do not want to be harsh because its likely there are several dished that may have faired better under review we just picked the wrong ones. We started with apps, planning to order meals depending on the size of apps. The mussels sauce was not « together » it was the water with everything else floating on it (white/oil, wine,salt,seasoning etc). The waitress was sweet and returned the dish upon complaint about the mussels still having stuff on them from the ocean but was told by the chef that they were « thoroughly cleaned ». Literally removed grit with little effort with my finger before it was sent back. No offer for replacement despite it being left untouched minus 3 mussels which were crunchy. Lets not talk about the chowder… the flavours were not in the sparse ingredients, it tasted like they were boiled separately then added to the sauce. Needless to say we skipped the mains. The margarita was watered down lemonade. I asked for no salt on rim which was honoured but it was also not shaken. Also not consumed because the water at the table having floaters. Waitress was attentive enough until the complaint about mussels. Ended up walking in to pay our bill. Left a tip for the waitress hope she did not have to share it as it was not much would have paid more had there been more effort or even apology. Note to restaurant: clean mussels do not have grit that you can take off with a fingernail and should not usually be crunchy!! I am not expecting perfection cleaning shellfish is a lot of work but 3 mussels in a row is a bit much. If someone complains and barely touches a $20 appetizer that is a bad sign. I left hungry… replacing it or offering an alternative will bring you repeat customers and great recommendations.

I went because it seemed to be highly recommended and stated that is was known for seeing the sunset. I sent just before sunset and was disappointed to find that at now spot in the establishment nor outside can you see the sunset from this location. The food was ok but not anything fantastic or noteworthy/memorable. The service was slow and I never got the drink I ordered. I found the portions small, even the dessert. Ten bucks for a small sliver of cheesecake was really out of proportion.

Tammy was our server and she went above and beyond for us! We has reservations, and someone was in the seats she wanted us to have, so she let us stay outside until the table was ready...which took a bit, then she moved us inside to another table)which we agreed to) and as soon as we were seated, the other people left, so she moved us. It was so nice to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday at Clamdiggers restaurant. The food was fantastic, we had the Ocean Bake, Beach House Platter, fish and chips as well as Steak. It was all great! We will be back for sure.
