The menu looked amazing and we discovered the service was excellent as well. Darryl said it usually takes a while to get the food, though. I had no problem with that, as waiting for food is never an issue for me when it&#8217;s really good food. We overheard the waitress tell one of the other patrons they were short one chef today and the owner was filling in. Carolyn and I never need excuses when food is amazing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnovascotia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/KnotDaily4598.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-603\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnovascotia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/KnotDaily4598.jpg\" alt=\"KnotDaily4598\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As our journey this summer includes the quest for the best chowder, so naturally I had to order the &#8220;Yummy Fish Chowder&#8221;.
