About

A boutique three room Inn and Gastro Pub that is a bit of a throwback to a simper time, a place to gather, have old fashioned cocktails, great wine and share fresh, locally source food. Presented in a social plate format, guests have the ability to order smaller sized but flavour packed dishes and spend time bonding over food & drink, much like our Founding Fathers did on the same site over 150 years ago.

A fantastic meal all around! The service, cocktails and meal were perfection. Do not pass up the opportunity to dine here. We had the mussels, braised short rib, and chicken pot pie. Not overly complicated meals to make, but elevated flavor and presentation!

Went there last night, it was one of the cleanest place I’ve ever seen. The food was delicious, every single penny was worth spending there. The staff was really kind and professional. Their dessert was soooo good as well. It was one of the places that I’ve never felt bloating after finishing my my meal. Will definitely go back!

I spent a week in Charlottetown, and this was the best dining experience I had. Not only was the taste and quality of the food better than everywhere else I ate, but the service was also best in class. The atmosphere is very loud, so if you're looking for a quiet dining experience, this isn't it. But it has a nice vibe going on. People all around you are having a good time. These guys don't hold back on the alcohol in the mixed drinks. I would definitely eat here again.

Very professional and engaging staff. Fun dining room and high tier cocktails. Unfortunately the food itself did not fulfil the high calibre standards the rest of the facility provided. I ordered seafood linguine, the disappointing portions and truly unseasoned, dry and overcooked seafood items were a letdown. Others in my party did enjoy their meals for what it's worth. Might have caught an off night on Sunday.

Loved this restaurant!! Staff was friendly and helpful when my wife asked for them to make the Salmon dish to her special request. I had the 3-meat burger and it was one of the most inventive and wonderful burgers I have ever had. Even the veggies I requested were fantastic. This is must visit place in Charlottetown.

We shared some mussels which were excellent and then my daughter and I had the mushroom toast and my husband the fish cakes and was all so amazingly delicious. Great Bloody Caesars. All in a speakeasy sort of atmosphere. All together a very pleasant experience

This restaurant honestly deserves a Michelin Star if it doesn’t already have one.. Absolutely phenomenal food and drink. The cocktails were spot on, the beer was fresh, the food was prepared perfectly and the staff were amazing. We are travelling through the East Coast and by sheer luck stumbled across this incredible establishment. I’m so happy we did because it was by far one of if not the best dining experience of our entire trip. Thank you so much for an evening that we will undoubtedly never forget.

I am shocked the reviews are so high for the food. I found burger dried out and tasteless with a sloppy mess of toppings. The seafood linguine was served in tomato sauce which I find strange and portion was not worth $42 for a few scallops and shrimp and mussels with sand in them. The lobster dip was good and served with naan dippers you can find in grocery store. This food is trying to sound good on paper but not worth it. Would not recommend or return.

We had lunch here today. Walked in at the right time, as it was happy hour with half-priced apps and cocktails. We shared the lobster dip, my wife had the triple threat Burger and I had the birria tacos. Everything was delicious! The service was great, the music was good (Tyler Childers), and the décor was cool. Only feedback is either add another Taco or a side for the price.

Made reservations in advancd but oddly they didnt seat us at a table and instead wanted would only seat us at bar. Food was shockingly overpriced and not good. Wife had linguine which just taste like it was drowned in barbeque sauce. I had a meatball which was dry. Overall one of worst restaurants Ive ever been too considering the remarkably high prices.

Amazing hotel with great staff, lovely rooms and great food! It is easily in walking distance of the main city centre and all the bars and shops. Would definitely recommend both staying and eating/drinking here. No negatives at all from our stay! Rooms: Rooms are lovely with everything you could need. Located above the bar but surprisingly very quiet. Walkability: Easily able to walk into the city centre and waterfront. Food and drinks: Both the food and drinks are 10/10. Lovely brunch and breakfast and great cocktails.

The vibe, decor, presentation, staff, food and drinks are absolute perfection. Everything was incredible 10/10 would recommend this place.

The food was lovely but we had a very unfortunate experience with the bar. We were sitting on a table that was close to the bar so we could easily see and hear everything unfold which ironically left a sour taste in our mouths. I ordered the Malpec Sour cocktail only to see and hear the bartender mix it and pour some of my drink in my glass while reserving some of it to give other patrons a taste. Thus not even filling my glass as he did with other peoples cocktails that he was mixing. I would have understood the sentiment of offering up a sample to other guests in a subtle manner if there had been some left over but to take it from the portion needed to fill my glass was ridiculous and just plain disrespectful. Especially while I sat watching the patrons enjoy my drink while mine sat at the at the bar waiting for 5 minutes to be brought to my table.

August 21, 2024

Not sure what is Portuguese about it. Sat outside. Overall food was good. Mussels starter was delicious but a bit on the small side. Halibut was good. Lobster burger was essentially a lobster salad over powered by aioli on a bun. Nothing burgery about it other than the bun. Triple threat burger very tasty. Potatoes served with burgers not at all hot, tasty but room temperature. Moose desserts are to be avoided, incredibly disappointing. Server noticed we ate a tiny bit of it and did not offer to reverse it off the bill when we quickly refused it take it with us - complete waste of $12. The marinara the mussels was served in was very tasty and asked for some bread to soak up the left over sauce. Was charged additional 4.50 for a slice of toast, a bit excessive. Service was good and server was attentive other than not addressing the dessert issue. Will not be returning.

Everyone we know from PEI told us to have dinner there and it stood up to the hype! Probably the best dry-rub halibut we ever tasted. Cocktails were great too! Friendly staff.

My wife and I were on Prince Edward Island for a self-guided bicycle tour starting in Charlottetown. During this adventure we had two evening meals at Slaymaker & Nichols Gastro House. Our meals were delicious, diverse and cleverly crafty. I highly recommend stopping there for food, drinks and occasionally, A Show. I was referring to the creative and funny antics of the bartender, who I understand has some acting chops. Walkability: It was located less than three blocks from our accommodations and close to the entertainment and arts section of town. Food and drinks: They had a great selection of Wines and Beers. Also, the bartender creates cocktails that are works of art in addition to being delicious and precedent-setting

What a fantastic gem of a spot. Rooms are nice and cozy, tons of attention to detail and eclectic vibes oozing from every orifice. The staff is as friendly as it gets, the rooms are private and quiet even with a bustling restaurant downstairs. Easy street access after hours, free parking, and brunch is included. As good as the accommodations are, the food is even better. Everything tastes fresh, nothing is brought in here. Creative menu combinations and in-season fare. If you arent booking a room, you should still come by for a meal. You wont be disappointed.

Had dinner at Nicholas and Slaymaker last night , it was a special occasion . The food was amazing as was the service . However the noise here is more suited to a pub not a higher end establishment , it sounded like an element school cafeteria sadly we will not return . Ps . Seafood restaurant it is not , 3 seafood items on a menu does not make it a seafood establishment.

We found out that this is the sister restaurant to Blue Oyster in Cavendish. We arrived later and were a bit worried about having our kids at such a nicer place. But the restaurant was incredibly accommodating to us even though they don t offer a kids menu. We sat outside and the ambiance was excellent. The raspberry ginger mocktail was very tasty. We ordered the charcuterie board and what fun flavors were offered. Kids shared a paired down cheeseburger and both loved it. I ordered the pasta and found my kids eating more of it than me! My wife had the salad and said it was perfect. I think sitting outside by the fire with great service is what sold this place for us. We are considering coming back on our short trip to this island. Noteworthy details: My wife is gluten free and they were very knowledgeable and accommodating to her allergy.

A MUST try when in town. We had the Tuna Tacos and the Crab Cake Benny. 5* for ambience, presentation, fresh ingredients and service. 5* for the Tuna Tacos, probably one of the best Tuna and tacos ive had. Very well executed, beuatiful mix of flavours. 3.5* for crab cakes. Didnt taste much crab and were a little mushy. Eggs were perfect. I would probably just lightly steam the kale for better digestion, but thats my personal preference. Very well dressed otherwise. 5* for the Mimosa and the Ceaser Food and drinks: Awesome!

This is what one hopes for when sitting outside. We also had some lovely chats with the couple next to us. The service was excellent! Very attentive and helpful, but with the right amount of, I ll let you be. The food was also very good. The menu online wasn t the most current which made my wife struggle for a moment on what to get. And yet, out of the darkness of the stomach, light. We got Let s Go Mushrooms! for the app. I love mushrooms and my wife wasn t sure - but those creamy cremini and umami-rich portabellas changed her mind. It was an excellent dish and it accomplished mush more (see?! see?!) than just being tasty. A convert was born. We also got Seafood Bake - it was decadent and rich, full of unctuous joy. The proteins, as fresh as they can be, sang in unison to create a choral coral effect. Splendid. I m writing this review now months later because for Christmas Dinner, I ll attempt to make the Let s Go Mushrooms for our app. It was a joy that needs to be shared!

Weve stayed at Slaymaker & Nichols twice and ate in their bar about half a dozen times. The service is always exceptional, the food is creative and balanced and the vibes are perfect. This last time we booked, it was Boxing Day and the management went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. He met us on his day off to get us the keys (early at that), upgraded our room and left a bottle of sparkling for us. The room was incredible (5/5) but the incredible hospitality from Courtice really blew us away!

Food and drinks: My friend and I made a reservation at the restaurant/bar for Happy Hour. We were immediately escorted to a table for two. We received service right away with menus for drinks and food. Appetizers were served at half price. Our choices were served promptly and were outstanding. I shall return. Service

The food here is really good and a bit unique. We enjoyed it. I had the burger with a Kale salad. They put on an abundant amount of sauces and dressing which makes the meal quite tasty and I enjoyed it but its not the kind of thing that Id rush back to have a 2nd time. The portion size in the patty was ok but I kept asking myself Wheres the beef.

We had lunch at this fantastic restaurant on the ground floor of a three room boutique hotel. The decor is beautiful. The food was the best I had in my three weeks in Nova Scotia and PEI. The waiter, Brady, was just delightful, asking each guest he served their name and then repeating their name many times as he served them. Walkability: Located on a quiet intersection in the downtown of Charlottetown, across from a music store. Easy to walk to and from the waterfront or any place in the downtown area. Food and drinks: The best food I had on a three week trip to the Canadian Maritimes, hands down.

This spot came recommended by a local so we thought we try it out. It s in a old house north of city center and we were able to park on the street nearby. It has a few guest rooms upstairs. We were able to secure an early reservation in advance. In hindsight we probably should have sat in the bar as the table we were seated at was a runway to the kitchen and was quite noisy and lacked any intimacy. Our server did a good job. Attentive but did not rush us at any time. We ordered two cocktails and we got our appetizer before the cocktails. Cocktails were good just a little on the small size especially for the price. The waiter recommended the prosciutto wrapped halibut as the chef had won awards for it so I chose that. Partner had the scallop appetizer. Food also came out faster than the cocktails. The halibut portion was good and the accompanying vegetables tasty. With out the prosciutto the fish flavor would have been average. Scallop we re cooked perfectly. Nice overall experience.

The reviews were not joking! This place lives up to the hype!! I had the chowder and the Halibut and my partner had the Haddock. All three dishes are so rich in flavour, and the Halibut and Haddock dishes are so filling. They did NOT skimp out on the fish portions. My favourite dish of the three would have to be the Halibut which was wrapped in prosciutto, adding the extra saltiness. The baby potatoes had also absorbed all the sauces and were super juicy. If youre in downtown Charlottetown, this place is a must try!

They made us feel like friends who were staying in their home. They anticipated our needs, from coffee service delivered to our room, brunch reservations, a couple seats for cocktails when we arrived, and delivered it all. We wanted for nothing. Rooms are comfortable, location is excellent - 10/10 would stay here again and would recommend to anyone!

The staff was kind, attentive and were trying very hard. Unfortunately, the kitchen was backed up and our table of three waited over an hour before getting our meals. The food was excellent however. The only other down side was that it was cold in the restaurant, too much air conditionning. Id go back, but not if I was in a hurry and Id definitely dress warmer.

Summer menu seems to be less sophisticated than the winter menu. Tuna tartare was fantastic. Crab cakes were good, but I find using bacon (jam, in this case) with seafood to be a bit lazy, especially for fine dining. I think that our fresh seafood can stand on its own without relying on bacon or pork for flavor. Predominantly meat-intensive menu that could use a serious shot of creativity on the vegetarian side.

The pesto linguine with chicken was really good. I did find a small bone in it but I didnt choke so, no harm done. My wife had the steak tacos and she enjoyed them. We were there during happy hour so the apps were half off. We tried the crab cakes and even at 50% off they were not worth getting. We didnt taste the crab at all. They were mostly potato. We also shared a charcuterie board. The wild boar sausage and blue cheese were my favorites but the whole board was good. The servers were excellent. Overall it was nice, and Id recommend it but skip the crab cakes!
