Reviews for The Inn at Bay Fortune - 5 Star Inn in Souris, PE
If you are lucky enough to get a reservation for the fireworks feast, it is spectacular! I've never been to a Michelin star... resto, but I would imagine it would be like this! It's a 5hr experience, cocktails to start, an hour tour of the farm grounds,an hour eating delicious local oysters and other fare cooked outdoors only on wood fires. They don't even count your oysterintake, eat what you can! Then inside for a 5 course meal, all cooked right in front of you in their huge fire ovens. That'sright, everything is only cooked on fire. 95% of what you eat is grown on the farm (except the potatoes!). It's such anamazing culinary experience, I would have paid double! Cheers! Read more
Such a magical place connecting farm to table. Went to the Inn at Bay Fortune to experience the Fireworks Feast and stay the... night. The experience was on a much grander scale than imagined. There were 85 of us for the farm tour and feast. Whilesipping wine and cocktails, guests were guided through the neatly organized sections of the farm. Farmer Kevin, with histrusty dog by his side, explained the concepts developed by the Inn to maximize the dining experiences of its guests. We werethen left to enjoy stations of flavorful and unique appetizers (oysters steamed in lovage, veggie tacos, smoked salmon, tunaskewers, etc.) The event began with a champagne toast at the flagpole. From there the feast took off and oh what a feast itwas! Main dish choices were beef, catch of the day (tuna during our stay) or lentil cake. Before the main dish, we weredelighted with 100 year old bread with whipped spreads, a freshly tossed salad and the best seafood stew. The main dinner wasaccompanied by uniquely combined flavors. The feast was perfectly completed by a fresh berry tart with graham crackercrust. Also noteworthy: (1) the chefs who prepare each course come to the community tables to explain preparation details, (2)wine pairing is offered and (3) every employee of the Inn was gracious. If ever on Prince Edward Island, the Fireworks Feast isan interactive fine dining experience like no other. Read more
We recently returned from our first ever visit to Prince Edward Island, doing an 11 day road trip from Ontario, covering a lot... of the sights, golf and seafood that PEI has to offer. Our final night culminated with a stay at the Inn at Bay Fortune andthe FireWorks Feast. And all we can say is WOW! From the moment we arrived and were greeted with the welcome center cocktailto our final sip of breakfast coffee, it was truly a five star act. We had beautiful accommodations in this rustic setting,with a room in the courtyard. From the tour of the farm, to the Oyster Bar cocktail hour, to the Feast, the staff areimpressive, demonstrating such passion, knowledge, skill and humour, never missing an opportunity to make their guests feelspecial! We were so hoping for a photo with my ?Michael Smith? and Chef Michael Smith and were able to do so at breakfastwhere Chef was so kind as to share a few minutes to chat. This entire experience is one we will never forget and Bay Fortunewill always be a special memory to us since we left the Inn engaged! Read more
We did not actually stay at the Inn but were part of the amazing experience of The Fireworks Feast!! I would bet that the stay... here would be as memorable as the dinner was with Chef Michael and his great team! This is a well oiled machine with everyoneworking together to bring this to a 5 star location. I would recommend this event to everyone and our bonus of the night was tohave a mini concert by "Maestro Fresh Wes" This was absolutely one of my top lifetime memories of food and fun!! Thank you forthe great memories of PEI!! Read more
The room was amazing, great sleep! The sunroom/porch was a beautiful place to sit back with a glass of wine. The deck was... sunny and delightful. The food was incredible but most importantly the staff was phenomenal! Watching Chef Michael interactwith his staff was completely inspiring. Thank you for an experience of a lifetime???? Read more
We did the Fireworks dinner and it was easily the best dining experience of my life! The farm tour, the cocktail hour, the... toast by Chef Michael Smith, the fantastic atmosphere & service and of course the delicious meal were fantastic. I'm avegetarian and each food station during the cocktail hour was able to accommodate. 100% worth the price! Read more
We went for the fireworks supper! This was an event, an experience, one that my family and friends will never forget. From the... moment you arrive, to the time you leave you are experiencing PEI culture, you are experiencing that laid back welcoming feel. Then to add to the greatness of the evening was the staff at Inn of Bay Fortune and their hospitality. No detail was missed. Istrongly recommend arriving at 330 for the 4 pm farm tour. The amount of detail and passion put into that tour is second tonone. It was worth every minute of it The tour makes you feel like you're in another land. Then you are given some free timeto socialize and tour the grounds. You're on PEI, people will talk to you from other groups if you wish or you can keep toyourself. Michael Smith was there, and very involved, from the farm tour, to shucking oysters, to toasting the event before thedinner on the front lawn, to working in the open kitchen, he was there. This is not just a dinner out, it's a night out and anexperience. Carve out the time to do this while on PEI. Read more
One of the best stays I?ve ever had. All the staff were excellent, and quite personable. It?s easy to tell everyone is... passionate in what they do. The entire property can only be described as a culinary heaven on earth. From the greenhouses tothe fire garden to the open fire fireworks oven it is all amazing. Not only is Chef Michael as tall as you think, he is alsojust as friendly. He is also very humble and would continually reiterate the appreciation he has for his staff. Read more
