This was the best meal of our holiday!! Our server was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Fantastic lobster poutine, hot lobster sandwich with the best Caesar salad ever, and loaded seafood chowder! Absolutely wonderful! Digby is a quaint town with kind, friendly people!

Google assumes this is a hotel, seems like a restaurant to me and a good one. Service was great. The young waitress was amazing, she offered to wash our toddlers dish after a meal. Never had that before, it was great. We went back for a second visit just because it was so good for service. Oh and the food was good too.

We live in the Town of Digby and have enjoyed their food before. My granddaughter requested to go here for her birthday dinner. Once again,our server Marcia was wonderful, very engaging. The food was really good! The place gets busy, too, yet everyone is taken care of in a very timely manner.

What an amazing dinner! We had scallops as a starter. Oh my. They melt in your mouth. Then seafood chowder for the main course. Incredible! If you like tons of lobster, scallops, and haddock you will love this! Everything was perfect! If you are in Digby, go there. Now. Well, wait until it is open of course, but you need to go there! You won't regret it.

We didn’t stay at this inn (Google seems to think there is lodging here) but the restaurant was a perfect fishing village cafe with a menu that has to be seen to be believed. Everything is made from scratch, great ocean views, a welcoming, come as you are atmosphere, and a really nice staff. The chowder had, hands-down, the most quality seafood that I’ve ever seen in a single bowl (and I’ve had a lot of chowder in my life.) It was chock-full of scallops, lobster, and haddock, balanced with potatoes and carrots, but the fish is king here; any restaurant in Chicago or NYC or Boston or San Francisco would charge 100 for the same item we got here for a fraction of the price, and restaurants in the aforementioned cities would never offer such an authentic feast to begin with. I honestly raved about this lunch for days afterward. Great experience here. The bowl was MASSIVE - I finished every bite.

Had to come to the Crow's Nest on our Nova Scotia trip after reading about Digby being the scallop capital of the world. We were not disappointed. We were fortunate enough to be able to grab a couple seats on an already super busy mother's day. Service was pleasant and friendly, and the food was wicked fast. We split some bacon wrapped scallops and had some fresh fried haddock and chips and a bacon grilled cheese. Everything was super delicious and we definitely had the best scallops we have ever tasted before, at this restaurant. Making a stop at the Crow's Nest is worth it!

Easy access and plenty of parking just a short walk down the road. Great view of the bay. As far as I could tell, this place is a restaurant that does not offer accommodation. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed pan seared scallops with the house salad, and my husband had the seafood platter. Digby calls itself the Capitol of scallops, and I can't argue with that. My scallops were delicious, perfectly seasoned, and melt-in-your-mouth-tender.

Did not stay at the hotel but are at the restaurant. It was great food! Scallops were the best and at a reasonable price. The view is excellent and decor/artwork was a lot of fun.
