Proprietors Chef Michael Smith and his wife Chastity Smith are proud to welcome you to their end of the island. For Michael, coming back to the Inn is a return to his roots as a chef. For seven years in the 1990’s, he led the kitchen, finding his culinary voice and bringing international fame to a sleepy country inn. For Chastity, being an innkeeper allows her to share her Maritime roots, stylish design flair and love of entertaining with you and your family. Together they’ve graciously re-launched the Inn with a brand new spirit of hospitality and their shared goal of becoming one of the world’s leading culinary tourism destinations.
FireWorks
FireWorks is both the name of our restaurant and the 25 foot brick-lined, wood-burning, fire-breathing beast from where we prepare and present our feast. It features every form of live-fire cooking known to man including a smokehouse, open hearth, grill, rotisserie, plancha and oven. No dials, no switches just old-school cooking. It’s a dream come true and our chefs’ brigade is proud to share its flavours with you!
Oyster Hour
Join us every night at 6PM as we shuck through a pile of our world-famous Colville Bay and Fortune Bay oysters in the actual kitchen where Chef Michael Smith’s first TV series The Inn Chef was filmed. In the Fire Kitchen try a slab of our hot-smoked salmon fresh from the smokehouse, meet our chefs and see the FireWorks up close. Enjoy a creative cocktail crafted from locally distilled spirits or a chilly beer brewed on Prince Edward Island. Feel free to wander the grounds, touring our organic farm and herb gardens. You’ll meet new friends, break the ice and start your evening in style!
The Feast
Each evening, ‘The Feast’ is served on tables in the Fire Kitchen and in the Wine Library. You’ll enjoy watching our chefs work the fires and craft your dinner. Feel free to take pictures of the massive cooking appliance and there you’ll find the day’s menu posted on the wall of our Spice Library. It’s an inspiring space, the heart-of-the-house and an experience you’ll never forget.
Our chefs create a brand new menu every day using ingredients from our organic farm, herb gardens and a roster of Prince Edward Island farmers, fisherfolk, foragers and culinary artisans. From 6pm to 7pm we offer fresh shucked oysters, hors d’oeuvres and artful cocktails served in our historic kitchen, location of Chef Michael Smith’s first cooking show The Inn Chef. The Feast begins at 7pm as we light the FireWorks with every form of live-fire cooking known to man. Dinner is served family-style at our long butcher-block tables overlooking Bay Fortune. You can expect freshly baked bread, smoked fish, house-made charcuterie, seafood chowder, our famous home-grown house salad and best of all, wood-roasted meats, fish and vegetables all prepared before your very eyes. Make sure you save room for our out-of-this-world desserts!
