The Lobster Pound And Moore

Wow. I don 't even know how to articulate how this small, well run gem is so great. I have been asking about this place from out west for at least two years. NObody talked it up. What 's wrong with people? Have you not actually been there?!!! We were thinking of dining out somewhere I hadn 't tried, since it 's my last week on our beautiful island, before I head back to AB. I mentioned this to my gf and she immediately said, Oh my god! You haven 't been?! We are going! Finally, someone who knows what 's up! Every course was amazing. Their mussels are unique and delicious. Served with frites and a garlic aioli, they are a must have here. My friends husband ordered the crab cakes. They are served interestingly enough, but didn 't hit the mark for me personally. My gf had the lobster ravioli and I must say, I 'll be returning to try this dish. It was the number one eye catcher to me and is apparently one of their most popular dishes. If I hadn 't had somewhere to be after our dinner, maybe I 'd have had the pasta, but it would have just been too much. Anyway, it 's a rich and delicious coma for sure! Her spouse had the man special of the day. What an incredible portion! Halibut and haddock served big man style. Lol Extra large! I decided on the bacon wrapped halibut and basmati and was not disappointed. Incredible pairing with the pistachio and onion marmalade. Wow! Add in a perfect Sauvignon Blanc and this was my best dining experience on the island. Also, a gf insisted on dessert as I never order it anywhere. I 'm always amped for trying appetizers. There 's never any room left. However, MAKE SURE you leave room for the sticky pudding. It 's actually to die for...truly! I 'm sorry because this is my longest review ever! I hope you didn 't glaze over. This place is just that good. Be sure to make a reservation and if you like to dine and drink awhile, make it the last one. Their tables need to be flipped and you won 't get a seat for a walk in typically. Thank you, Richard Moore! Cape Breton deserved someone like you!

Whenever I'm home in North Sydney, this is the place to go. I go with friends, family, whoever wants to come. Richie and Leslie are a power duo and their service and food exceed expectations for anywhere I've been. In terms of my recommendations, I've had the fish and chips trio, and the mussels chips (god I don't even like selfish and I dream about those mussels).You can't go wrong, and you won't go home hungry. On top of this all, this chef and his lovely wife are amazing leaders in the community, and their work providing meals to vulnerable folk during COVID has been exceptional. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The Lobster Pound is a fantastic restaurant, Chef Richard Moore makes culinary treats that are not only a delight to the eye, but taste incredible as well. We made reservations here on our whirlwind tour through eastern Canada, and this place was an absolute delight. I was able to book a 6:30 Sunday dinner for my wife and me through Facebook. It's a bit difficult to find at first as there is no restaurant at the building where Google maps tells you to go to. Instead, just go a few feet towards the traffic light intersection at Archibald, and go towards the water, as they are right at the harbor. Not really a family place, but a great place for a date night or a dinner with friends. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING we ate was delicious. A true gem!

Very unwelcoming, poor experience. Very disappointed, hopefully others have a better experience.

Call for reservations !!! No I mean now don't look further call now!!!You won't regret it !!!!! Call them !!!!Daily trio was the best ? best fish I've had in YEARSDefinitely my go to spot when I'm waiting for the
