What a fabulous restaurant! I had the beet salad with a lobster role. The salad was by far the best I’ve ever had. So many extras in there and the size. Had to take half the lobster roll home. We were told by friends not to miss the Clam Diggers and were so happy we went!

Thanks to the marvellous Clam Diggers team. Everything was perfect as usual. We arrived early to enjoy a drink and starter before the main course and nobody rushed us. We had a real good time and we definitely encourage everyone to try this restaurant. Everything is good, we’ve tried all the menu in the numbers of time we’ve been there :) Enjoy PEI life :)

Overall everything was good. One comment would be that the coleslaw should be in a dish rather than on the plate with the rest of the food, the dressing is sloppy and gets everything soggy.

The food was great. Portions were very filling. The service was both cheerful and prompt. I really enjoyed the clams and my wife enjoyed her ocean bake. She also said the sauce for her cheesecake was so good she wished she had a mug of it to drink!!! All in all a very good experience.

This has nothing to do with Clamdiggers quality or service but it would have been nice to know the restaurant was actually closed for the holidays (Dec 30th). It allowed you to book a dinner on line and provided follow up emails of the upcoming dinner including this survey, wanting to know how we enjoyed our experience. Huh. Checked the website regularly and it said it was open. It was unfortunate not being from the area to arrive and find it was closed. Disappointing drive.
