What User likes about The Battery Bistro:
Late lunch on Saturday, 12 August 2017 on this beautiful patio. Our server was excellent. I had lamb (exceptional) and my cousins had scallops. The food was excellent. The view is spectacular. The service was stellar. Could not have been a more perfect afternoon. My one recommendation based on personal preference would be to offer an alternative to the barley/quinoa side ... possibly more salad or potato of same sort... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Battery Bistro:
The ambience is beautiful with a panoramic view of the St. Lawrence, too bad the food was overcooked and very dry. The servers try their best to get the food on the table in a timely fashion but when they literally have to run, the atmosphere is less than appealing. Don't bother eating here, just go to Fort Henry which is very interesting and entertaining but eat before you go. View all feedback.
