Our accommodation recommended the Water Prince Corner Shop for great seafood at a reasonable price, no pretensions. They were correct on all counts. My partner was on a mission to have lobster dinners every chance he could, and this one was very satisfying. I am less of a seafood fan, but enjoyed my fish and chips very much. Heavy on... More

We had the lobster dinner and its came with a large order of mussels and a 1 pound lobster. Everything was fresh, delicious and fast. We were there around 5 so it was not too busy but by the time we left, there was a line out the door, its a small place so reservations are a must. Would definitely... More

Locals recommended this place. the chowder was excellent, the scallop dinner was good value but I think they were frozen scallops and overcooked. The veg were most definitely frozen and were quite soggy, wine was good value. You need to book to get a table it is quite small.

We got the fish and chips (hablibut) and the scallops dinner here. My bf really liked the fish and chips because there is lots of fish and not too much batter. The scallops dinner was good I got 7 scallops with it. They were a bit overcooked for my liking but I like mine pretty rare. Lobster dinner was $29.99... More

This restaurant was suggested by our B&B host and we thought it was a great find. Not inexpensive but reasonable for what we had. Oysters on the half shell, seafood chowder, PEI mussels, and halibut fish and chips. All really excellent in a casual but lovely small setting. Reservations would be a good idea if lots of people in town... More

Nice little seafood restaurant down near the waterfront. We actually just stopped in for a snack and desert. The service was very good and the folks friendly. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant with license plates and old records decorating the walls. Not a bad drop in for lunch or dinner.

Was told by many that this is the place to go for fresh seafood and wasn't disappointed. Great service. Only issue is that the restaurant is small so groups bigger than 4 people may be an issue.

From the outside this little diner exudes authenticity. It is ideally located to catch the cruise ship passengers who stroll from the ships into downtown Charlottetown and clearly that is the market being targetted. I am sorry to say this diner is a pure tourist trap, food quality and quantity simply does not match the exhorbitant menu prices. Like maybe... More
