Not a single vegan option. It’s not that hard! EDIT: Responding to owner's response... I don't want to Frankenstein one of your menu options to avoid going into anaphylactic shock. There should be - at minimum - one truly vegan option on your menu.

I love this place and their food. However, tonight we got garlic knots that clearly had raw dough in them. I’m not one to complain, but we sent them back and the chef disagreed with us and the server shook her head and said yeah I’m just the server. Very disappointed not sure I’ll come back.

Food was great. Restaurant was gorgeous. We sat at the bar and the service was awful. The server completely ignored us for most of the time we were there. It wasn’t busy, they just were not paying attention to the customers. Pretty

I recently visited Batson River restaurant for the first time, and it was an absolute delight. Arriving a few minutes after opening on a Saturday, we were promptly seated amidst the festive and incredibly fun Christmas decor, setting the perfect mood for the season. The decorations alone made the visit worthwhile.The food matched the festive atmosphere. I had the mussels and smoked haddock chowder, both had a rich and flavorful taste. The "Zero Proof" mocktail and non-alcoholic beer selection were a pleasant surprise, providing excellent alternatives.Our waitress, Nicole, was not only attentive but also exceptionally kind, adding to the overall positive experience. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

We felt like we were an imposition to the staff. The host was rude. The waitress was worse. Ordered a burger rare. Was told they only come well done! (What???) Chose chicken sandwich. Came Overcooked and dry.Was served the wrong drink for $19.My wife asked to substitute fries for rice. An emphatic No!

We visited to sample their beers. We typically get a flight. This place only lets you get a flight of 4 of their core beers. They have 4 core beers and 9 seasonal. We weren’t happy that we couldn’t pick & chose which beers we wanted in our flight. We’ve been to over 1700 craft breweries and it’s rare that we experience this. I will say the waitstaff were excellent. Friendly & helpful. We did not eat here.

Just a great spot all around! Atmosphere is great, service great and food was delicious. Highly recommend the poutine and pretzel. The poutine is a huge portion covered with delicious smoked pork and cheese curds this is a meal in itself!Looking forward to going back for their fish and chips meal that looked amazing too!

A friend worked here in the summer and used to bring pizzas to his other job and that's where I saw them, though I never tried one until today. The available pizzas are unusual, but they do have pepperoni with these ingredients: parmesan, mozzarella, thyme, hot honey. It's a little spicey, but also a little sweet. The pie measures 11.5 inches. I called to order, got the recording, which asked me to order online, and tried to order online, but got an error message which directed me to call, so I called again and got a live person. He took my order, 30 minutes. I arrived half an hour later and my order was ready and rung up at the bar. $19.44 with tax. Expensive. Fairly well located on a popular street just off the main drag. Parking and getting in/out could be a problem in the summer. Handicap accessible.

Went here with family. Total bill for 2 kids, 7 adults was 368 dollars. Drinks were way overpriced. Most expensive item we ordered: 2 lobster rolls. Other than that, we had chicken wings, tacos...not much substance there, A hamburger, pizza, and a Cesar salad that I sent back as it tasted terrible. That salad was 18.00... No addition to the salad. They would not remove salad from the bill and I was not offered anything as a replacement. Would not recommend this restaurant.

Good experience for locals or tourists. Nice food and atmosphere. Bartenders and waitresses are always very sweet.
Best food. Great beer. Super atmosphere. Family friendly. Mussels and heirloom tomato salad were amazing. Pizzas were so good, even our 2 year old ate 3 slices of pepperoni.

Food is very average and overpriced. Mixed drinks, while quite expensive, we're good.One plate of tacos includes just two tacos and a small side of black beans for $22. Mixed drinks vary, but my Old Fashioned was $19 (x2). So, two small tacos and two mixed drinks was $60! Insanely poor value proposition.

The decor was impeccable. The service could use some refining.
