What Mrs Robertson doesn't like about East Side Family Restaurant:
For a dinner with such great reviews, it certainly left much to the imagination. Service was mediocre with a less than lukewarm atmosphere. We had simple meals, hot hamburger and hot beef sandwiches, which tasted fine. The truly disappointing part was the powdered mashed potatoes. At least put the gravy on them to help disguise the taste. Certainly much room for improvement. View all feedback. What Darleen E likes about East Side Family Restaurant:
We stopped there on our way to Cape Breton. We had the seafood platter. We were pleasantly surprised to have a scoop of lobster on the plate. The clams were strips, but given that it is the off season that was ok. The fries were excellent, as was the service and pricing. View all feedback.
