What Alison S doesn't like about Charlotte Lane:
First visit since the reopening with new owners. Came for lunch without reservations. (A mistake reservations HIGHLY recommended. We were able to get seated on the back patio which is lovely. We were entertained by two fawns in a neighbor's garden while we waited. ....And we waited an extremely long time. They are definitely short staffed. When it came, the food was good with ample proportions though quite different... View all feedback. What Debra R likes about Charlotte Lane:

The restaurant, under new owners, has experienced some changes in terms of food quality and award-winning dishes, but it still maintains its charm. Visitors are recommended to make reservations due to the long wait times and limited staff. Despite these challenges, the food is tasty and well-presented, making it a worthwhile dining experience. Customers have praised the experience for its excellent service, fast response times, and professional staff. The menu offers a variety of delicious dishes, with particular highlights being the seafood chowder and beignet Thai shrimp. Overall, the restaurant has received high ratings on Trip Advisor for good reason - it is a must-visit spot on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
