Waterview Restaurant - Downtown Pictou, NS - Pictou, Nova Scotia

Produits surgelés, cuissons non maîtrisées.
Le saumon à l'érable : trop cuit, consistance sèche, pas de sauce. Les légumes cuits à la vapeur baignent dans leur eau, le riz est nature. Il aurait fallu mariner le saumon et réduire son jus de cuisson pour napper le plat. Il faut moins cuire le saumon.
L'assiette de fruits de mer et poisson comporte 4 moules trop sèches et natures, 4 noix de Saint-Jacques insipides car trop surgelées, 2 crevettes sans saveur et un filet de haddock tout sec. Pas de sauce avec les légumes vapeur ni avec le riz.
Beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité de ces 2 plats.
Le chef doit lire des livres de cuisine et goûter ses plats avant de les mettre à la carte.
Je ne recommande pas.

Excellent. À essayer. Le propriétaire est très aimable et le service est super. Les prix sont bons. Très belle expérience!

Un seul mot pour qualifier le dîner : mauvais. Rien à voir avec les critiques dithyrambiques que l'on peut lire. Pas même capable de cuire proprement un haddock pané. Zéro pointé. A éviter.

Found this restaurant on google maps and figured we’d try it as there were some interesting menu options we might enjoy. It had a welcoming and open atmosphere and large windows towards the waterfront but due to those tables being occupied we couldn’t see it.
The service was friendly and prompt overall. The food was tasty, woe ordered a build your own panzerotti , Mediterranean grill mix, seafood pasta and seafood chowder. The portion sizes weren’t as expected for the prices and we left a bit disappointed. Maybe we should have ordered more appetizers or dessert but we weren’t that impressed.

Food was delicious! We had lobster rolls and seafood chowder - did not disappoint! The server was really polite and quick. Great experience for a tourist from Ontario, thank you!

Tonight was my first time dining at the Waterview though definitely won't be my last. Going in as a large group with a reservation and having a tiny bit of confusion resolved quickly was a relief. Erin's ability to respond to requests, the kitchens speed with food and continuous attention to detail was remarkable.

We didn't feel rushed despite taking longer than expected and we were praised for being polite, respectful and, even with everyone ordering something different than expected, the entire party seemed to be delighted by their choices.

I don't doubt this place has some good food, the coconut shrimp i had were pretty delicious. What I have a problem with is the seafood combo dish. What an absolute joke, just terrible.
3 tiny scallops that were like rubber bullets. 5 of the smallest, most shriveled and overcooked mussels ever. Who knows when they were cooked, you could tell they were old. The haddock was pretty bland and tasteless. The rice they give seems like that minute rice stuff you cook in the microwave, utterly plain and tasteless. You'd think a seaside, seafood restaurant would have a bomb seafood combo, but this was an insult to seafood. Dish should be taken off the menu or improved.
Server was a nice dude, bit slow off the hop, but he gets a pass.

Some of the other food looked good but stay away from the seafood here, its not fresh.
