I would suggest the red-beet salad, but it would be better if they used chunks of beet instead of canned, sliced rounds for a more appealing presentation, which currently resembles cafeteria food. The spinach salad with chicken was decent, too. The chicken club sandwich with a baked potato was good, but the real standout of the week was their pasta marina—it was by far the best dish among everything I tried.

The servers, although friendly, must know how mediocre the food is?! It's dark and dingy in there. $3.50 for small soda water and no offer of a refill. Beef dip and calamari were nasty. I've had better chicken wings from a gas station. Venture anywhere else for dinner and you will thank me! I'm honestly shocked they can stay open, mind you it's already for limited days/hours.

Our server was attentive and friendly throughout our visit. The establishment had several tables marked as closed and displayed signs promoting COVID safety protocols, which we appreciated. The cleanliness of the place was impressive. We started our meal with nachos, which were delicious and generously topped. For our main courses, we ordered fish and chips, as well as a chicken wrap with fries, both of which were excellent and larger than we anticipated. The server even offered us a takeout container for our leftovers, a thoughtful gesture. Unfortunately, we were too full to enjoy dessert. This was our first time dining here, and we can't wait to return.

The presentation was impressive, and the speed of service, as well as the temperature and portion sizes, were all spot on. Everything was fantastic, and the ambiance was pleasantly relaxed for a Saturday night—not too busy or crowded. For dessert, we couldn’t resist the to-die-for Coconut Cream Pie. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in Halifax!

The mussels were cooked well and met my expectations, though they were fairly standard. I also sampled the BRUSCHETTA, which consisted of vine-ripened tomatoes, basil pesto, black olives, garlic, olive oil, mozzarella, and Parmesan, along with pine nuts for $9.95. It came with four pieces on baguette slices; two had melted mozzarella and two were topped with powdered Parmesan. It was decent. My friend ordered the CLASSIC CLUBHOUSE, featuring roasted turkey breast, crispy bacon, tomato, and lettuce for $15.95. None of the dishes were particularly memorable, but we didn’t have any complaints. I would return if someone wanted to come here, but it wouldn’t be my top choice since I live in Clayton Park.

But then they told us that the wait was over 3 hours and that we should leave and we 're not welcome to wait. They claimed we were waiting in the hallway (which is the entrance of the restaurant After they told us nothing was available we moved to the lobby to call other locations . They were extremely rude to us and made us feel terrible. We then left and went to finbars in Bedford (highly recommended The next week one of us posted on the Facebook about our experience. We were only seeking an apology only to have them call us liars and proceed to ignore our comments. Over 20 different people commented on their dissatisfaction. ALL comments were very professional and no attacks or profanity were used. Inn on the lake proceeded to delete the complaint and ban us all from posting. All they do is call anyone that posts negative comments liars and tries to make themselves look innocent. Not ONCE have they ever apologized and took responsibilities for their actions. Avoid at all costs. There food is average but it was close to where we live. UPDATE: You 'll notice that Sue has decided to comment below stating more lies. 1. She states that one of us works for a competitor. This is irrelevant as his hotel isn 't anywhere near inn on the lake. I and the other 7 people do not work for a competitor and we were all posting negative reviews 2. She complains that we used social media to trash them. In this day social media is where complaints are sent and it 's how you reply that defines your company. 3. She states that we used profanity and attacked them in the deleted facebook thread. This is incorrect, not once were they attacked or was profanity used. 4. It 's unfortunate that a business cannot take responsibility and instead decide to call it 's paying clients liars . They do this all time (check out trip advisor, yelp, facebook, and twitter .

Its multiple levels within the small space makes for a more intimate feel when you land in your own personal corner and on a nice day, the views of the lake would be spectacular. Our visit today was for a nice brunch which was served from 11-2. The one-page menu had plenty to choose from (Eggs Benny, fishcakes, a gorgeous skillet and omelets) and was really reasonably priced. Our four-person meal came out at $56 which I 've easily spent on just two brunch plates before. A quick glance at the rest of the menu showed the higher prices that you 'd expect of a place like this although there were SO many options to choose from including a full page highlighting their many gluten-free dishes. The fishcakes and skillet dish (The Farmer) were complete standouts from the table but unfortunately the Eggs Benny were a bit of a let down. The plate seems to have been either popped back in the oven after it was made, or put under an overzealous heat lamp that left the Hollandaise brown on the top and solidified throughout-a crime against my strong brunching beliefs. Still, we felt good about the price, we still cleared out plates, and we felt good about Encore as a great option to fuel up before a day of air travel.

Took forever to get coffee and while every other table had a pot left, my husband only got a cup and had to ask for refills. The coffee was very good, just hard to get. The travelers breakfast was very tasty. I had the Romanian French toast which is made with a cake like bread delicious. I asked for crispy bacon and saw crispy bacon at a nearby table but received regular bacon my husband enjoyed it and said it had a great flavor. There must be places with both good food and good service we will look for that next time. Our bill was $35, we gave the waitress $50 and we received no change. We sat awhile to get our change but my husband didn't feel like asking for it.

The servers are friendly, but they must realize how subpar the food is?! The place feels dark and dingy. I paid $3.50 for a small soda water, and there wasn’t even an offer for a refill. The beef dip and calamari were terrible. I've had better chicken wings from a gas station! Do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere—you'll thank me later! I'm honestly surprised they’re still in business.
