Reviews for Slaymaker & Nichols Gastro House in Charlottetown, PE
Fantastic experience.. great service and very good quality food and cocktails. We had he tuna salad and the burger with a side... of fries. Both cocktails were amazing too. Nice patio outside and overall a 10/10 experience. Read more
Slightly disappointed from the prior reviews. Overall good experience, but not excellent as we thought it would be. Seated... immediately. Service was decent but waters were left empty until we asked for a refill with dessert. Menu was excellent and wefound flavors and presentation to follow that excellence. However, execution was slightly off on each item. Each of our sixcocktails were on the very sweet side. Crab cake was mostly potato and over smoked. Scallops were slightly overcooked. Carrotcake cheesecake was almost all cheesecake and seemed thin and lacking. That being said, food and service were average to aboveaverage, and we would give them another chance. Read more
We stayed for 7 nights in August 2022. The room was fabulous, the service was superb - friendly and genuine. The restaurant is... excellent - we dined there twice during our stay. The cocktails are great. Great, quirky breakfast trays. Wonderful decorthroughout. The location is also great for the busy centre of town. A really lovely place to base ourselves to explore theisland. Read more
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food was well prepared and presented. They put extra effort into the ingredients... ensuring appropriate balance of flavour. For starters, we ordered cocktails. I had a Donnie Out ($12) and they made a customsangria ($12) for my wife. We then shared the crab cakes ($18) which were very good. The main plates included generous portionsand good nutrition. I felt full, but that I had made a good nutritional choice. My blackened salmon was accompanied by adelicious salad with a fresh strawberry and goat cheese theme ($31). My wife had the potato crusted haddock which had a lovelysauce and was served with layered baked potatoes and roasted vegetables ($27). For desert, we shared a berry sorbet which wasthe perfect finish. The restaurant is quite small, but cozy. It is not really suitable for families with young children. Thedecor is simple and circus themed (all of it crooked, if that sort of thing concerns you). They have an interesting history onthe back of the menu which goes with the theme. It has a relaxed ambience with modern background music. We considered this agood value for a three course dinner for two with drinks at $126 before tip. Read more
We stayed in one of the guest rooms and it was beautiful - the record player was a nice touch. A lovely breakfast was delivered... every morning and we dined in the restaurant twice because it was so good. Food is exceptional as are the cocktails - highlyrecommend if you?re looking for the real deal culinary experience in Charlottetown. Regarding other comments on price - it iswas very reasonable considering the quality. If you go closer to the water you?ll be paying more for far worse so it?s allrelative! Read more
Had a great dinner here. I had the halibut, which was new on the menu. My wife had the salmon. The scallops we had for... appetizers were cooked to perfection! The cocktail selection was amazing, but I would pass on the cappuccino. The dessert menulooked comp Kling, but I was too full due to the generous portions. And to top it off , our server was attentive, timely andprofessional. Highly recommended! Read more
We were in PEI for four nights and we tried to get into the restaurant for dinner every single night but it was so popular we... were never able to get a seat. On the last day before we left PEI we were able to get in for lunch and I have to say it's worththe wait. The decor there is absolutely amazing and it's just really beautiful inside. The food there was also great the staffwas very welcoming and very accommodating. The staff enjoyed speaking with you unlike some other places where they just saidthey're pleasantries. We ordered the mushroom avocado tower was tasty and flavourful to our surprise. We had the special whichincluded and sandwich and a soup and it was so much better then I could have expected. Crab cakes here was just divine. Mostplaces make them to flavourful and everything over powers the crab but here it was a good balance. If you want to get in here Irecommend making reservations about a week in advance. It is worth it. Read more
Beautiful building. The decor is wonderful and the vibe is welcoming, cozy and romantic. The cocktails were the best part of... this experience. The tenders are experienced and very capable. Their house-designed cocktails are well mixed and creative.Requesting a classic or an off-menu cocktail goes over well and they happily accommodate. The server was wonderful. Food camequickly and was presented very well at perfect temperatures. I guess the only reason I am not giving a full 5 stars for food wasthe richness. I had the chowder and crab cakes, but both were too rich to be able to finish. Flavor was great! But it was toomuch. The bacon jam was a bit too sweet for me and the chowder seemed maybe too reduced? Not sure, I'm far from achef! None-the-less, we will absolutely visit again. We love the vibe at this location so it's a favorite when we are inCharlottetown. Read more
