Located in Hacketts Cove near Peggy's Cove, The Finer Diner offers a mixed dining experience. One diner was disappointed with small portions and mediocre service, vowing not to return until new owners take over. For lunch, guests found efficient service during tourist-heavy times but felt the indoor seating was hot due to lack of AC. However, others praised the fresh and delicious seafood dishes, friendly staff, amazing views, and excellent lobster rolls and chowder. Overall, while some diners had mixed experiences, The Finer Diner still stands out for its location, tasty food, and friendly service.
