Lucy Maud Dining Room - Charlottetown

Such a pleasant experience! We loved every moment of this meal. Our server was fantastic that she from Vietnam 5 years earlier she loves her job! The meal was impeccable and a culinary delight from starters to dessert and the cocktails were the...last of our trip. At the end of the evening we met the cook on our way out and gave our thanks. Highlights: Martinis, mixed board, salmon, short rib, crab and Ricota Pasta, Crème brûlée.

That was my third time in this restaurant. That was my 6th restaurant I visited in 10 days. Lunch. The dining room was nice and the server was pleasant. I had the pumpkin and fennel soup; it was good, but not even warm.... My main dish was scallop and pig bell, was not warm again, I like my food hot. I had carrot cake and it was okay. My friend had Lobster Macaroni, she said it was good, but not hot. Her dessert was chocolate mousse with raspberries and the cookie was as hard as a rock, the mousse was also hard as it just came out of the freezer. While we left a generous tip I left $8 on a $36 bill) the server should not have asked my friend if they want to change, they gave her $40 for a $26 bill.

We never had a meal here that we could not enjoy and admire. This is one of our favorite places.

Food and service was great. Not much choice in the menu. Near the end of the season for school.

The Culinary dining room offers an 8 course tasting meal on selected dates during the winter. The cost is $60 per person and the evening is completely run by the students. This year it was a Taste around the world theme. Each course is from...a different country. Vietnam, Russia, Switzerland, France, Italy, Greece, Scotland and Hawaii. Yes I know Hawaii is not a country. It is a very interesting evening that gives you a chance to sample some of the different kinds of food that people around the world enjoy. I will caution that YOU may not like every dish. This does not reflect badly on the chefs as I believe they are prepared exactly as they are meant to be. It is just the fact that the North American palette is different than the rest of the world. My favorites were the lamb which was the Scottish dish and the Italian dessert. The only one I really did not care for was the Hawaiian sushi. Not that it had a bad flavor, I just found that there was no flavor. Each dish was well presented and meticulously displayed. All in all it is an enjoyable experience and one that is more fun if you bring friends. It allows you to discuss all the dishes. The only negative I have to say is how long we were there. I knew it would be a long evening as there are after all 8 courses. We arrived at 7 and did not leave until 9:45. I would have liked it if there was less down time between courses. Like I said in the beginning the entire evening is run by the students so they are learning. So really it is not a big deal especially if you really like the company you bring with you.
