Calamity Jane's Dining Lounge - Addison

This location is absolutely charming, with fantastic outdoor seating, excellent service, and delicious food and drinks. As an American, I find this small bistro truly delightful.

This restaurant is a great choice in town for a relaxing lunch with a view of the port. The outdoor seating is lovely, and it even has heaters for the winter months. The plate of the day is a delicious option for lunch.

Went for dinner at on the advice of a few friends who said it was excellent. That was over 10 years ago though. Our first hint that we may have made a huge mistake came when we entered the restaurant. It was a Saturday evening around 6pm and we were only the second table sitting. The only other table of people were passing through on their way home to Ottawa as well.The food was very pricey so we assumed it would be top-notch. It was not. We had mussels and shrimp. The mussels were puny and the sauce they were cooked in tasted a bit 'off'. The shrimp was overcooked, rubbery, and tasteless overall. Service was very polite and professional but the food wait was inexplicably long (remember, we were the only other table in the place). We waited nearly 45 minutes to be served. Not a place we will ever return to or recommend to anyone.

Worst meal I have ever paid for. Prime Rib was served on small plate in aujus 5 minutes later potato was delivered accompanied by uncooked green beans .server was embarrassed but it is a job. Will not be there by the end of summer. It was 630pm on a Saturday night 8 customers.

I don't often bother to write disappointing reviews...as I think the restaurant in question will just eventually go out of business...but in this situation I felt a need to share our experience with this establishment. We had a favourable experience on our first visit and decided to give this very out of the way restaurant another try. We ordered an entree size salad and a double chicken kabob. Both my husband and I shared off the two plates. Chef....came by to small chat and tell us his story.When we went to pay the bill and questioned a 5$ extra charge, we were informed that Chef....had noticed we were sharing and so that was the added 5$!Really 5$ for sharing, A five dollar sharing fee for trying someone else's food....isn't that our choice, our prerogative?Last time for us at this very out of the way place with very out of the norm practices.Interestingly enough after bouncing this off some servers in San Antonio, Ottawa and Toronto, we were give the 'are you serious look'.
