We started our meal with oysters from Sober Island and they were the absolute best. Our mains were delicious and the servings were so generous it was a struggle to finish. All in all. Excellent!

Service was good. The food was disappointing: string beans undercooked and very crunchy, scallops were warm but raw, scallops and shrimp were without flavour or seasoning in Pasta Sepia and pasta was not al dende but overcooked.

We chose to eat at the Beach Pea for a family birthday celebration because we know that we’ll have an excellent quality meal. The wine selection is great. The calamari and the pasta dishes were delicious!! We hope to return to the Beach Pea in December.

There is nothing better than the anticipation of biting into a perfectly prepared scallop! The aromas and excitement are obvious and abundant here each visit and while we have tried probable every item on their menu, no matter which scallop dish they are featuring, it perfect each and every time. We have experienced excellent, courteous service each and every visit and look forward to returning again soon!

The food at Beach Pea Kitchen was delightful. I had the sepia pasta and caesar salad and both were delicious. The staff was relaxed and knowledgeable and we felt so comfortable in the space. My partner had the burrata appetizer and the halibut and enjoyed them both. We will definitely go back.

Lively room with a nice open kitchen. Tuna tartare appetizer and burrata appetizer were both excellent. We all had pasta and my carbonara was strangely on the small side, not sure why. Other than that, a nice evening

The scallops entree and watermelon Greek salad were to die for. We are not dessert fans, but we indulged with the vanilla bean cheesecake and rhubarb topping… equally amazing. Service was outstanding and host was very welcoming. It is a must!

Beautiful resturant, wait staff were very good, a little disappointed with the lack of acknowledgment of my birthday as it was asked when booking online, which at that point was communicated it was my 50th celebration. It's minor but, I'm not sure why bother asking if nothing comes of it. Seeing the table over from us had a birthday girl at it that was acknowledged and comp drinks were given...truthfully it kinda stung. Steak was ourstanding, and my dish Scallop Sepia was good but unfortunately the pasta was a little too salty but I'm sure it was isolated. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and will give it another try again in the near future. Kindness Regards Lisa Courage

The service was very good and decor appealing. The food was a little too rich. The place is so dimly light that it’s impossible to see what’s in the plate. That’s why I gave a low rating.

Ambience was good, Calamari was disappointing (small portion) and paper napkins didn't impress for a $150 meal in an upscale restaurant. Scallop and Rabbit Risotto was excellent.

Exceptional restaurant in Lunenberg. Probably the best meal we had while vacationing in Nova Scotia. Very innovative and creative menu. Very talented kitchen staff. Loved the food and the experience. Tried to go a second time two nights later, but they were full :(. Recommend making a reservation. Don't miss this gem!

We are repeat customers as they have the best steak in Lunenburg! Appetizers were delicious and the ambiance is wonderful. Justin was an excellent and attentive waiter. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great dining…but book a reservation so as not to be disappointed…they are, understandably, busy!
