We would never know about Quaterdeck if our hostess at Three Thistles hadn’t told us. It’s right after a little turn off at Summerville on the Lighthouse Route. The restaurant has a dinning room and also a covered deck that extends into the water. We chose the deck. It was really nice to have your meal while listening to the waves hitting the shore. I ordered A “Taste of Nova Scotia” which consists of a trio of smoked, peppered and maple salmon. Julia ordered the calamari. They are both listed as starters. But the volume was enough for lunch. The trio of salmon was simply amazing. The calamari was also the best I’ve had. The best part was that each one of them cost about $10. Check out the pictures for the presentation.

If you want a romantic dinner while enjoying the night view of Elliott Bay in a waterfront setting, 67 is the place to go. It’s located in the Edgewater Hotel, Seattle. The price is definitely not cheap (no entree under $30 just to give you an idea). But it’s worth it for the environment. Besides, when we were there, they had a three course tasting menu for $30 each person. So it wasn’t too bad. I would rate it at the same level as River Cafe in Calgary if not higher.

I was chatting with Vlad the other day. We were talking about his food blog, which has given me very good information at quite a few occasions. That’s when I though maybe I should write about the food I had at various places as well. Especially after the trip to the eastern provinces. We didn’t try anything special in Toronto. So I guess I’ll start from Hard Rock Cafe in Niagara Falls.
The only thing I can say is that it was BAD. Really really bad. The only reason we went there was because I’ve never been to a Hard Rock Cafe before. I’ll never get into one again. The food was nothing special. I think I ordered a burger and my wife order a club sandwich or something like that. It was typical bad bar food. I can easily list half a dozen places where you can get a much more decent burger in Calgary. There was no price on the drink menu. I thought it was kind of odd because that’s something I would expect from the chef special from a French restaurant.
Anyway, stay away from it if you happen to be in Niagara Falls. It was not worth it even with all the guitars on the wall. I don’t know how Eric Clapton liked it. It must be different in London.
