Rudder's Seafood Restaurant & Brewery

We are touring the maritimes...starting with Nova Scotia....drove the RV into Yarmouth and immediately felt the very cool 'vibe'. So much so that we decided to eat out (not a common event)..did the inevitable 'Net search and came up with Rudders. So...Rudders is a craft brewery that has a full menu...and outside seating with a fabulous view. No..we didn't...was a tad too cool...however, we more than made up for that with our dinners. Sharon ordered Lobster Mac n Cheese. Panco crust..and a healthy portion of lobster. 'We' thought is was great. It did not have a heavy cream sauce..applauded that. Not too rich that couldn't have dessert. I kinda went overboard...1st, two fresh oysters on the1/2 shell. Medium sized and yummy. Then the appie sized bowl of mussels in the Cajun sauce...served with garlic baguette. I only had such a wee bit of the bread....to top it off, I had an order of seafood crepes....loaded with lobster and scallops...and I ate one, saving the second for lunch. Sharon had the chocolate pate, for dessert...and loved it. Very rich and creamy. We really did enjoy the food. I like getting involved with my food...fingers, tongue and lips...it's not always pretty. My oysters and mussels satisfied that! The crepes were fork food...and all was delish!!

Great spot overlooking the water. We sat outside and it was lovely as the sun was setting. We both had the fresh haddock lemon pepper style, mashed potatoes and a side of the wonderful veggie medley that had turnip, broccoli, and carrot in a light maple glaze. The cup of Turkey soup to start was delish And warming. My partner loved the strawberry blonde beer. Overall a good experience.

We had 2 appetizers, coconut shrimp and bacon wrapped scallops. Both deep fried and of average quality but good. The sauce that comes with the shrimp is a honey marmalade and was the highlight of meal. Mains were disappointing. Fisherman's platter just wasn't it. Have had much better. Then a house salad add salmon, the salmon was too fishy for my taste. Salad was okay though. Was too windy to sit outside or there is a beautiful view. The music playing and atmosphere made the time enjoyable. Probably won't rush back though.
