Amherst Shore Country Inn

This review is for the Amherst Shore Inn's restaurant. We went for the special Valentine's meal and thoroughly enjoyed the entire meal. We started with a beatiful mixed greens salad with a homemade strawberry vinaigrette dressing. The ingredients were very fresh, the dressing was devine. I had the Chicken Elizabeth, chicken stuffed with feta, spinach and prosciutto, wrapped in puff pastry, for my main. Accompanied with Hollandaise sauce, it was fabulous. A roast potato, spaghetti squash and snap peas were included on the plate and were also very good My wife had the butter poached scallops with mornay sauce. This was also accompanied by the potato and vegetables described above. She loved her meal, as well. The meal was also accompanied by a just-made small loaf of brown bread which was incredibly delicious. As we only ate half of the bread, our server asked if we'd like to take the rest home, which we certainly did:) For desert, we both had the amaretto cheesecake with raspberry coulis, whipped cream and toasted almond slivers. The cheesecake was beautifully made. The amaretto flavour was very subtle and I found the coulis overpowered the amaretto so I enjoyed the cheesecake with just the whipped cream and almond slivers. The servers were very friendly, efficient and attentive without being overwhelming. The Inn was very clean and warm on a very cold night (a crackling fireplace was burning and was wonderful). Light jazz was playing in the background and was very enjoyable. All in all we really, really enjoyed the entire meal and heartily recommend the Amherst Shore Inn. It was the best meal and restaurant experience we've had in a long time!

One of the most beautiful properties on the Northumberland Strait. Beautiful grounds with access to a lovely beach. Accommodations were excellent and the staff topnotch. Would recommend Amherst Shore Country Inn to anyone traveling thru this part of Nova Scotia.

Stayed here for a couple of nights. Rooms are older but clean, kitchenette had the necessary basics. Hosts are very accommodating. The grounds are well kept, the scenery and walking trails are exquisite. The natural beauty surrounding the inn and cabins are tremendous. Very tranquil and a great place to kick back and relax. Lots of lawn games available. Disappointing that the restaurant is not open all week, but will arrange out next visit so that we can try out their menu and have heard wonderful things about their food. We did have some baked goods that we purchased at their Inn's counter and they were delicious.
