★★★★★ 5.0 Jerald Thompson · Nov 2025

The filet mignon, topped with perfectly crisp, drizzled onions was like butter. The calamari was light and crisp. The drinks were healthy and hearty. I cannot say enough great things about the atmosphere, the staff and the food. One of the best meals I've had in years, served by people that made me feel more like a friend than a guest.

Stopped in for a drink and a small bite. Had the Firecracker Cauliflower. It was great, not too spicy! Decided to get the lobster roll to go, which was also excellent! Friendly staff, I would definitely comeback again. Cheers!

Came for a quick dinner with family and was not disappointed. The food was very good and came out quickly. I highly recommend The clam chowder and fish and chips. Jessica was an amazing server. She was fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to come back.

We were so worried that under new ownership the Mariner wouldn't be the same. It's better, so much better. They cleaned up the decor, it's the same. They improved the lighting. The menu has the old favorites and much more. Fish and Chips is still great. Burgers have a better bun. But now they also have miso salmon, PEI mussels, parm encrusted chicken, and so on. So happy we can still love it – and more.

We have been to The Ancient Mariner multiple times in the last few months. Absolutely loving the new owner/chefs food. The menu is excellent with the freshest fish. The Faroe Island Salmon is delicious and served with mashed potatoes and spinach. We also enjoyed the scallops and a Black Sea bass special. You can still get great burgers and salads so there is something for everyone. The restaurant is cleaner and brighter under the new ownership. We love the new Mariner!
