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.

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.

Food was decent... fish and chips were a bit greasy but decent. Good arrived hot and quickly. Price is better than other nearby options. Server was lovely... very attentive. Would return.

This was my first time visiting Waterview Restaurant. I'll start by saying there's nothing wrong with the food, but with a few simple upgrades, it would be much better. I ordered the muscles and pan-fried haddock. I was told that there was a problem with the muscles related to an inconsistency in size. I was informed that this created a problem when cooking them. I was about to question why not start with the larger muscles than add the smaller ones a few seconds late. I did see a seafood plater being served with muscles. Apparently, the sizing issue was resolved.

I did order the humus starter. Very plan, Jane. Sorry, Jane. Plain humus served with deep fried pita chips. The addition of herds, lemon, or spiced oil would definitely be an improvement. I don't understand the deep-fried chips.

The main (pan fried haddock) was served with steamed frozen vegetables and rice. All cooked well, but simply serving fresh steamed vegetables with a little butter and seasoning would have such an improvement. I understand that frozen vegetables are easy for a restaurant but so disappointing. The fish was cooked properly, but again, serving it with a lemon wedge, fresh herbs, or a sauce (something) would help with the overall meal. It's simple but so important. Rice - plain rice. A world of possibilities. But it was plain rice.

Again, nothing wrong but could be so much better.

Tolles Restaurant mit Charme. Wraps, Fisch auch vegetarisch toll!
Wir waren sehr zufrieden - zudem günstig.
Fish&Chips waren genial - tolles frisches Fischfilet siehe Bild.
Nur die Pepsi in der Dose ohne Glas ist ein Stilbruch!

We have eaten there. and taken from there several times now. Overall, I would give it a high rating overall. It has a pizza takeout on Water street, with a full resturant "behind", accessible from the street or from a shared parking lot with the De Cost Centre next door.
Out of all the things we have eaten there so far, it has all been good eating!
...Except for the "small snack" I had for my supper this evening, which I was expecting a meal! Don't get me wrong, it was tasty! It was the portion size for the cost that was way off! I had their Seafood Specialties","Shrimp Tacos" for $16.99, and I upgraded my side to a small salad, for another $2.99. Which I'm glad I did! The issue I have directly, and only relates to, the 2, bite size tacos! ...actually, maybe 6 bites, and I was done! While everyone else at the table was only half done. It does mention on the menu 2 tacos... it should say, 2 very small tacos, and be on the appy menu, and for a lot less money, there is no value as it is! If you are going to serve tacos that small as a meal, at minimum 4, but 6 tacos would be about right! It is not like Tacos are expensive to make. So my complaint is, 2 very small "appy" tacos & a small side salad for $20.00 and I went away very hungry! So hungry, I got home and cooked myself a meal. We will be going back, everything else we have had there is good, I just will not have the Shrimp tacos again...!

We did a Maritime tour and ate all over PEI, NB, and NS and the food here was some of the BEST! Sammy made us feel like old friends and our servers were all warm and friendly. We went 3 times in 4 days and each time food was amazing! Generous portions, especially the Shish Tawook. Donair bites are scrumptious and his donair sauce is perfection. Just a top notch experience from start to finish, will absolutely be back next time we visit NS?

A bit disappointed. We choose this place based on the google reviews, vegetarian options, seafood options, and that it had some water views. We were excited to try the chicken tawouk, but while flavourful, it was dry 3/5. The biggest disappointment was the scallop dinner. For 24.99, I received only 5 small/medium sized sautéed scallops, mashed potatoes, and a small portion of carrots/broccoli mix. The scallops weren’t particularly special and quite bland. 1/5. The fish sandwich was excellent 5/5. The falafel was 5/5. The service was great. The view/atmosphere was ok. Based on the reviews here, I expected better food.
