The Crow's Nest Digby

Our group of 8, over 60 year old adults, arrived a few minutes after 5pm on Friday evening. 4 went inside to request seating in any configuration they had available, expecting to give some names and wait while wandering the nearby shops. The Hostess refused to take any names or give any wait time and told us, “you need to go somewhere else”, twice when questioned!! We went next door to the also busy Fundy Restaurant, we’re immediately welcomed and accommodated on the beautiful outside harbor view deck and served a fantastic meal.

We just ate at the restaurant, we didn’t stay in a room. The food and service were great, though the fish and chips were a different style than we’re used to (less batter, more crispy kinda like a giant chicken finger). The staff were great with our toddler and provided a high chair and colouring book for her.Walkability: It’s right in the middle of downtown Digby, so there are lots of walkable shops and whatnot nearby.Food drinks: Super fresh seafood, which makes sense because the sea is literally outside the door!

A long wait for a table, and long wait for food, but ot became obvious why....it was super, super busy and the food was really, really good. We both had the scallops 3 ways (when in Digby.... and it was terrific. The home fries were great (recommended more than the regular fries .They might be able do something organizationally to make front of house more efficient, as they were doing reservations, walk ups, and take out all at the same time, and many different people all covering the same jobs.Worth the wait for sure!

Ordered the lobster roll and the bun was so buttery and soft, and did I mention the amount of lobster they put on the roll? Very sweet, juicy and tender! And I ordered the pan fried scallops oh boy, it was one of the best.Rooms: 5/5

We weren’t greeted for a very long time upon entering. Once we were eventually seated, serving staff were completely inattentive. Our food took a ridiculously long time to arrive, and during our wait drinks weren’t refilled. When the food finally came it was pretty dreadful. The fries were bland. The battered fish was undercooked (not raw, but mushy). The lemon/pepper fish was very salty. The server didn’t check on us until we had all finished.An awful dining experience.
