I had the poutine and fried fish, everything came out piping hot. The fish was very crispy. It was a delicious lunch.

Food was absolutely delicious - a steal for what we had! The sweet potato fries are the best I’ve had in a long time; they were super crunchy! Recommend the Mushroom Swiss burger.

Lovely food. Excellent, friendly service. Great food. I tried the Aloha burger with pineapple and ham. I skipped the banana peppers. It was delicious and such a new flavour for a burger! David had the special burger of the day, also great. Tetley tea, which is good. Important to me the brand of tea Coffee was very nice as well. Love the ambiance! The Christmas decorations were lovely. Pretty simple looking from the outside but a great experience overall. If we lived here, we would return again and again. Our kind of place!

I had the special of the day: pulled pork sandwich, with Bost pasta and potato salad as sides. The sandwich was excellent. The potato salad was good. If you like potato salad I'm sure it was amazing, but I am "meh" about potato salad, so I'll call it solidly good, would eat again. The pasta salad (mayo and Dijon mustard based, and topped with Parmesan cheese!) was fantastic - hands down the best pasta salad I have ever eaten, and I'm only slightly more favorable to pasta salad than potato salad. Service was very fast and friendly. All in all highly recommend!

Popped in during a day trip. Quick bite between meals. We had the fish and chips. Quick hits: Chill place, friendly service, good food, and a wonderful breeze through the front door. Bonus: Seems like they’ve got an arrangement with ABC next door, too!

We had visited the Annapolis Brewing Company next door and one of the food recommendations they mentioned was the Fort Anne Cafe. We ordered a couple of times from the Cafe, and they even brought our meals directly over to the brewery! Great portions and extremely tasty. Highly recommended.
