kitchen

Sadly, we did not have a good experience here.  We sat outside, and moved because there was a large family having a birthday celebration, giving them some space.  Ordered a Cosmopolitan, and sent it back 2 times.  Both chipped glasses.  First time the bartender remade the drink.  Second time, she poured it into a different glass.  Yikes!!  Waited about 20 minutes for an order of mussels, waitress came out and said sorry it took so long would give us a complimentary dessert.  Okay fine, mussels came, man said sorry kitchen got backed up, which was weird b/c restaurant was not close to 100%, maybe 4 tables on the porch.  2 were raw, and 3 were unopened.  Told a different server about this, he says to me “ that happens, I have been serving for a while.”  I said no, sorry, they rushed and not cooked properly.  Gave a little attitude, but took the mussels off the bill, as should be.  Then tried to rush us out, but we had not finished our wine.  Hope you have  a better experience than we did.  The town is lovely, but service is not so good.  Our bed and breakfast is just okay.  Inn of Frederick.  Tv doesn’t work, owners says oh well, try something else.  No water or snack or cookies in the evening.  Would go somewhere else.

Sad experience

We had dinner at the inn’s restaurant.  Sadly it was not a great experience.  Our server was clueless to even the simplest question. She also was not especially welcoming or helpful.  The food was Ok,  if not great.  One person had the halibut  which was overcooked.  Spring rolls were obviously not handmade.  All in all a disappointing experience.

Dinner at the Kennedy inn

Had a meal here with my wife and was decent spot till it wasn't.  

The patio outside was nice and the food was average and priced comparably to surrounding spots.  All was good until the mains came out and I received my fish and chips.  I had eaten a piece of fish and about half the fries when my wife noticed a hair or something that looked like a red hair on my plate.  Upon further investigation I found 3 other pubic like hairs and was instantly disgusted.  I stopped eating and waited for my waiter to come over. As we waited  we see the chef or one of the line cooks standing in the doorway and lo and behold.  Red hair, beard, no beard net, and he's constantly stroking his beard with his hand. The waiter comes  by the table and we show him the hairs. He examines the hairs and says that shouldn't be there and also states that they aren't hair but some other type of fibrous material and throws them on the ground.
Either way, shouldn't be in my food.

No apology, no comp on the meal, nothing.  Just a normal day I guess where people should be happy to have the chefs pubes in their food. 

Don't go here, way better places that won't serve you strange things in your food and pretend like its ok.

Red Hairs or Hairlike Fibres in the Food

A very charming old establishment.  We felt like we got to see a little bit of history.  The hotel is beautiful, even with its aging bones.  I especially loved the railings, throughout the hotel.  We got the room with the balcony, it was kind of weird, because we had to leave our room to get to it, and then, there is no security code, to keep other guests from using it, of course they should know they didn't book the private balcony.  We didn't have any trouble at all, it was quite private and relaxing.  I would have posted pictures of the room and hallways with the beautiful railings, but I video taped them, and Trip Advisor doesn't have video upload.  Just pictures.  But honest to goodness, the hotel is beautiful.

A wonderful experience in such a historical hotel.  A priviledge.

Always a great time at the Kennedy House in the heart of St Andrews. Great location, Wonderful atmosphere, fantastic food and outstanding staff members. You feel at home. 
Our number one spot when friends and family comes to visit. Can’t go wrong.

Kennedy House St Andrews

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Kennedy House last night - December 31st - in St. Andrews, NB.  The five of us each chose the special menu and we were not disappointed in the least.  Everything was very pleasingly presented and bursting full of flavour.  We all started with the shirmp cocktail.  Yummy and lots.  Then we had the cream of zucchini soup with smoked salmon.  More flavours than you would think possible.  Two of our group had the surf and turf main - excellent steak prepared exactly right and a lobster tail.  The other three had the duck breast - juicy, flavourful.  We all had the creme brule for dessert - perfect!  This was accompanied by a glass of champagne to begin and two glasses of our choice of wine during the meal.  Of course, we added a few more glasses of wine and three glasses of Baileys.  Absolutely great!  We had a fantastic meal and great fun.  We were the last to leave.  Looking forward to doing it again December 31, 2024. 

Yummy NY Eve Dinner

My husband and I absolutely loved your establishment!  Mo, the bartender/server was incredibly welcoming, kind, helpful, and answered all of our questions.  The woman who greeted us and took care of us at the front desk was just as kind and helpful.  The room was clean, quiet, and proved to be such a nice getaway for us.  We hope to come back with friends or family in the future.  After a long day, we sat near the bar and had a couple of cocktails and dinner.  We then played darts and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere.  Everyone was so friendly!

Quick Getaway

We enjoyed the Kennedy House.  The room was spacious (although the carpet is a bit dated and blackout curtains would have been nice); well equipped with a microwave, fridge, and ironing board; and the beds were very comfortable.  It think it was pricy for what it was, but probably on par for this cute town popular with tourists.  It is certainly in a great location!  It is in the center of the main street, so it's walking distance to lots of restaurants, cute shops, and activities.  The whale watch we took was a two-minute walk from our room, which was nice.  Overall, this is a solid lodging option here. 

A Solid Option

I really wanted to love this hotel. However, there were a few things lacking. 

We arrived before 2 so we waited patiently for our 2pm reservation. At 230 we were told that our room wasn't ready yet. So we waited longer..  several other guests had come in and got their hotel rooms no problem. 3pm rolls around and we finally get our room. 

It wasn't anything special. Looked like a dorm room. 

There was one guy managing the restaurant and hotel. Due to this, the customer service was lacking. 

Almost felt like you were annoying him if you had questions or even just to check in. 

Ate at the restaurant. It was ok, nothing special. Again felt like you were an annoyance.

Bed was comfy and rooms were clean.

Meh.... but bed is comfy!

This is a beautiful old hotel with plenty of charm. Its location is perfect for enjoying this beautiful town. We feel that the carpeting throughout is becoming shabby and unclean. Our room was very quaint and clean and again it could use a little freshening up. The shower was almost impossible to use without scalding yourself as the controls were very hard to use. No hairdryer was supplied .  The service at the front desk was very friendly. With a little extra attention this property would be great.
