Big portions
September 07, 2013

The food here is great. I miss that it is closed until the Spring. I had the club house with fries, it was sooo good! The waitress was friendly, and the food was hot! The view was amazing looking out at the boats on the harbor. See you soon Saltwater Cafe!

Great view and a pleasant meal
August 05, 2013

Not a lot of options here in pictou, so we tried this place due it's advertised crab special and great location on the water. All out of crab. Tried the chicken quesadilla, which was quite good, and the mussels and seafood chowder. Mussels were large and plentiful, but needed a bit more flavor. Chowder was overpriced at $10 and needed... more

was not even open for lunch in August
August 01, 2013

Only opens at 4:30 in mid summer!!!!
I have been every summer and find it average all around but great location on the waterfront so worth checking out just for that. But not being open makes it difficult to even do that. I asked around and was told new owners so things hours have changed.

Sorry...won't go back
July 29, 2013

A visit to Settlers Saltwater Café the other evening was a big disappointment. I believe this restaurant is for tourists who will eat and never be seen again. It was average food at above average price for what you get. You can't beat the location right on the water. The servers were all friendly and attentive.
The décor is casual... more

Good Pub Food
July 20, 2013

Despite the mixed reviews we ate there and had good food and friendly service. It is a pub it was busy and had a good atmosphere. If you are happy with simple food and a few beers then go there. If your looking for fine dining then there really isn't anywhere in Pitcou.

average pub style food
July 13, 2013

Nicely decorated but the food was just okay, basic bar food. Waitress seemed a bit put out that we got up and waited up by the bar to get our bill and pay but we didn't have a lot of time on our hands to keep waiting at the table. Nice location right on the waterfront/marina next to the Ship... more

Disappointment
July 13, 2013

Service was excellent, décor awesome. we ordered for starters the "seafood chowder" very disappointing, broth good, but they should have put on their menu "Fish chowder" only fish...no other seafood in this chowder i.e. scallops, shrimp, etc. We decided to leave after eating this very expensive fish chowder, because we were unsure about ordering more..i.e. will it be what it... more

Over priced and limited menu
July 11, 2013

Haven't been impressed the past few times of been here and it's the last. It's starting to look old, menu is limited and over priced. The only killer thing on the menu is the Blueberry Grunt. Can't say anything bad about the staff, wonderful and friendly. Looking forward to trying the new restaurant across the street. It's got to be... more

Never had a bad meal there
October 01, 2012

We always eat here at least twice each yearly visit. We always enjoy the food and harbourside atmosphere. A change in the menu is, however, LONG overdue!

Pretty good supper out with a friend; friendly staff
September 04, 2012

My friend and I wandered in here because it was close to the Hector quay which we'd just visited, and we were getting pretty hungry. If I recall, the menu is posted at the door.
The place was packed, the outside patio full, so we were in a little aisle at the side. It was quite noisy with the crowd.... more

Beautiful waterfront restaurant, so-so food, poor service
August 10, 2012

The ambiance in this restaurant is lovely - very authentic maritime feel. Its location is fantastic - you couldn't ask for better views. The beer choices on the menu were plentiful, and the food was average, with generous portions of french fries which made the kids happy, but in spite of the large number of staff the slow service was... more

Terrible customer service
August 06, 2012

We arrived at this restaurant this evening. Notice at entrance said to seat yourselves, so we duly sat at a table and studied the menu, chose what drinks and food we would like. Various waitresses came and went in the area, bringing food, clearing tables, etc. They glanced at us occasionally but no-one said a word to us. After being... more

August 01, 2012

Lots of fish on the menu of course and oh so good! Even the burgers were great. You can sit inside or out on the enclosed deck overseeing the harbour. The deck is screened in with zippered clear plastic panels for inclement weather. Very fast service! We were very impressed. It is a bit pricey but not so much that... more

Good location, huge portions
July 10, 2012

This is a regular pub on the water, without the local touch (they serve Burger and all other sort of pub food) not that there is anything wrong with it.
The Location is great , if you choose the patio or the inside.
The food is good, and the portions are huge.

Good food on the water
July 05, 2012

Love the outdoor seating, which is in a big screened porch. Typical seafood fare and some other interesting dishes (stir-fry, for instance) as well. Some of the menu items seemed a bit overpriced. Myself & most of the people I was with had fried seafood dishes. The fish & chips was great- generous portion & perfect amount of batter (in... more

Not haute cuisine but that's not what you go for
June 29, 2012

The Saltwater is one of those quirky places. Promoted out of the ordinary by having a semi outside section - basically a very large awning it is worth the trip.
The menu is a typical Maritimes menu - lots of fish including lobster. Service tends to be pretty snappy although we have had to wait quite a while once and... more

Great rainy night in Pictou
August 31, 2011

We walked in on a terrible rainy night with no reservations. Seated immediately and orders taken right away. We had wonderful mussels and scallops and a great mug of beer. Enjoyed our meal and had great service. The rain was coming in with the wind, and the server was quite prompt in closing the zipper in the tarp so we... more

Manager has an attitude
August 13, 2010

My wife and I go to a lot of restaurants and I have never seen an owner with an attitude like this fellow. We have eaten in his restaurant many times before and usually have the haddock burger with baby potatoes instead of frys. It seems the price of these potatoes have increased because he now has a charge of... more

Settler's Salt Water Cafe (Pictou)
August 10, 2004

Overlooking the beautiful harbour and yacht moorings at Pictou, the Salt Water Café occupies perhaps the most enviable location in town. It is also immediately next to Pictou’s leading tourist attraction, the Hector Interpretive Center.

This is a very pleasant, year-round pub/restaurant with a large, screened dining area overlooking the yacht moorings. The menu features pub grub with... more

This restaurant is located right on the water in Pictou. It features a seasonal patio as well as a very nice main dining area. The food quality is good but service sometimes needs improvement. Overall a good restaurant with some live entertainment.
