Piper's Landing Restaurant

This is normally my favorite restaurant to go to, and have been many many times, unfortunately last night may have been our last. We go many times for special occasions and New Years is always one of them, The place was overbooked for New Years, the service was non-existent, over 40 minutes wait after finishing our meal, for the bill, with people watching and waiting impatiently to be seated, so dessert, coffee, tea was not an option. The oven roasted potatoes were not cooked, very hard, the beef tips , which i have had before and loved, were 4 pieces of chewy tough meat and an entire onion by the looks of it, in gravy. The shrimp and scallops were 3 shrimp and 5 small scallops, and the usual veggies. Unfortunately at points in time one was unable to talk to people at the same table with the loud singer that was wandering around the dining room. This was so out of character, the service is usually top notch as it the food, it was like we were in the wrong place, and definitely the wrong time! We watched people leave, others not waited on while one table would get stellar service, some people even asked if they could now order after waiting so long. Perhaps overbooking the evening was a huge mistake, when we left, there were over 20 people waiting for their reservations.

An excellent meal. Expect a hour for your meal, but worth the wait. I would suggest ordering an appetizer to pass the time. For most people this is a place to go for a special occasion.

This was my second visit to Piper's Landing in my two trips out to Nova Scotia. The food is amazing. Some of the best I've had! The seafood mushroom caps are jam packed with seafood and delicious.
