I really enjoyed my time there and the food was great.The atmosphere was also great as I loved the candle on the table. The only thing I think that our waitress could have done would be just a little more attentive to us. Other than that, I have absolutely no complaints, and I would definitely come back again. My wife and I had their "burger love," and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. 8/10

The best pub/restaurant in Charlottetown? Yes. The best pub/restaurant in PEI? Yes. The best pub/restaurant in Atlantic Canada? Yes. If you have a Gahan within 250 miles, and if you haven’t gone on a pilgrimage to visit it yet, I don’t know what you are doing with your life. There are two types of people on this planet, those who have gone to Gahan, and those who haven’t. Gahan is king. Go to Gahan.

Typical pub setting… Have visited both in a small group setting and with a larger group. This review is based on better than a dozen visits to theFood:very good menu with lots of variety for both experienced and inexperienced tastebuds. Will say…someone at our table invariably always order the Brown Bag Fish n Chips. It’s great but take care….depending on the day, the fish can be quite greasy (not always but sometimes).Prices are in-line with surrounding businesses. Not exceedingly high, but not low either.Atmosphere:Lunch. daytime or standard weekday evening visits are conducive to a relaxing conversational atmosphere.On busy nights it can be quite the party atmosphere and grow beyond noisy. Music is usually at a level that necessitates raising ones voice to be heard across one’s own table which easily moves to the point of shouting in order to heard above the hubbub of the party atmosphere.Gahan House is a pub style venue with really nice layout inside: seperate rooms and areas that afford some sense of privacy. Drinking is naturally par for the course and there is lots of local and beyond variety on the drink menu.Over the course of a few visits have noticed there maybe be some issues with the “over-serving” of patrons…pitchers of this n shots of that served in short periods of time. Hmmmm? Might perhaps be time to review the responsible beverage servers course?

We were recently in for a birthday dinner with a group of 12. We booked the reservation well in advance so expected they would be more than able to accommodate us. When we arrived, we didn’t see our waitress for 15-20 minutes. When she finally took our drink order, and didn’t seem very patient with our unorganized group, it was about 30 minutes to receive our drinks. We ordered our food which took another 30-40 minutes, and when it came out, only 3 items came. Over the next 15 minutes, the rest of the food slowly came out, except for one dish which was missed altogether. We weren’t offered refills on drinks, and we sat there for about 10 minutes after our food arrived with no cutlery before they finally brought some. We had hardly finished eating when the bills were in front of us, and it should be said that none of the bills were divided correctly. Unfortunately a bad experience at a typically good restaurant, and luckily the food was good when it finally came out, but will not be returning with a group as our experience was very poor.

I had a lovely time with my Mother, dining in the window, being served by Sarah. Our server made the experience very wonderful with her cheery and attentive attitude. We look forwards to going back when we are on PEI again.
Gahan has gone down hill the past number of years. The food 5–10 years ago used to be so good. Now they use too many/too strong of spices. They are too experimental with flavour profiles that don’t work. Nothing on their menu is reliable anymore. There is no consistency in their food. You can never tell if it’s going to be good.

As soon as we entered at 7pm Friday you heard the music. We were seated with our group of 10 and it was difficult to have a conversation with the music at the level it was at. The general consensus of the food that we were served was fair, over salted and presentation was plain.

Nice enough place, beautiful building with micro brewery on site, food was really good but found the beer a bit off (everyone else seemed to like it though)!
