The Inn at Bay Fortune - 5 Star Inn

Fireworks Feast was an outstanding culinary adventure. Michael's team of Chef's truly made us feel welcome, you can fell the incredible pride they all have in guiding us through our dining adventure. Don't miss the farm tour and Oyster pre-dinner tasting (Salmon station was ourstanding) - great segway into dinner. Thank you Michael and your Team for such an outstanding unforgetable culinary experience 10 / 10.

We got there early enough to grab a cocktail before the tour, which is conducted by their farmer. Lots of interesting information such as about their test garden and that they are the only restaurant in Canada to employ a full time forager.

The oyster hour was amazing. If you don’t care for oysters, there’s lots of other stuff to eat.

I have a gluten allergy which they accommodated by serving me fritters instead of sourdough bread. I also have a mussel allergy so I got chicken soup instead of chowder.

The menu changes every few days to reflect what is currently ready to harvest. Overall, the food was delicious and creative. The service was quick but it still took three hours to eat due to the number of courses. The staff are very engaging and happy to talk to the diners.

The seating is at long communal tables, which added to the experience. Everyone was from away so that connected us.

For the people at our table that got the wine pairing, they seemed to struggle to keep up and ended up with a few unfinished glasses at the end. Definitely need a designated driver if you get the pairing.

Although it is pricy, I would go back because of things like there being no gratuity because they pay their staff well - I have to say the staff all looked very happy - and they provide an annual scholarship to culinary school for a member of the local Indigenous group.

The Fireworks Feast is definitely a must-try. The property is beautiful and the interiors are carefully curated. You can feel all the thought and care that went into the planning and delivery of the feast experience. If you have a friend or family member that complains that expensive meals do not fill them up - this is the feast they should attend. From the sustainable smoked Atlantic salmon tasting, to the oyster hour with sustainable sturgeon caviar and smoke brisket, you’re sure to get your fill (they even come around asking for seconds). We had a lovely meal and would certainly go again. While they provide booklets with information about your meal, I wish that the servers/staff knew more about the dishes including what vegetables were in our salads as we have such an extensive tour of their experimental farming and varietal herbs and vegetables. It was certainly cool to see Chef Michael at work and I would recommend this feast as a PEI activity. I would also recommend going earlier to walk around the grounds before other diners join and take bug repellent!! I may want to see whether I want to stay at the Inn for a few nights, but I’ll keep checking the reviews to see whether it is worth it.

We heard so much about this Inn and restaurant, and we were looking forward to it. There is no question - the supper, with all that leads up to it, was fabulous, possibly the best I have had. It is a real experience!
However, the rooms in the Inn are quite small and not well laid out - they look good, but are not convenient for staying in. Also, our door lock had to be jiggled in a particular way to unlock, and the room heat pumps only cool - they do not heat!
We had breakfast and that was a bit of a disappointment. We were seated with a group, and we did not know how the meal would work. We saw there was some pastries and were able to ask for tea or coffee. They served small portions of juice and yogurt. After we had had all this, the server mentioned that they also served a regular breakfast - the server pointed out an obscure listing of items. We did order from this list, but were so full we did not really enjoy it.
Lastly, they did not have tea! I asked for English Breakfast and they do not carry it!!
The price is very high for the whole event, and I was disappointed.
