After
much
anticipation
and
hearing
so
much
about
this
restaurant,
my
husband
and
I
had
our
first
dining
experience
at
Pearl
Morrisette
last
night.
We
dined
with
two
other
couples.
My
husband
and
I
are
both
vegetarian
and
were
told
that
the
chef
would
do
an
amazing
job
to
accommodate
our
dietary
needs.
This
was
not
the
case.
Out
of
the
nine
course
meal
we
were
offered
protein
options
only
once.
The
meat
eaters
in
our
group
were
given
a
protein
in
every
course.
I
am
accustomed
to
going
to
many
high
end
restaurants
offering
multi
course
farm
to
table
cuisine
and
they
have
ALWAYS
been
able
to
creatively
provide
us
with
protein
options.
I
asked
to
speak
to
the
manager
last
night
and
he
was
not
very
receptive
to
our
dietary
needs.
His
response
was
that
the
restaurant
is
on
a
summer
menu
and
only
offering
items
that
are
locally
sourced.
I
didn’t
realize
that
vegetarian
protein
options
can’t
be
offered
on
a
“summer
menu”.
The
meat
eaters
in
our
group
were
offered
fish
and
scallops
from
the
East
Coast,
since
when
is
Nova
Scotia
local
???
If
his
understanding
of
local
is
Canadian,
we’ve
got
Canadian
companies
that
supply
TOFU,
Beans,
lentils
etc.
The
manager
proceeded
to
get
defensive
and
asked
me
what
I
would
like
to
be
offered….
SERIOUSLY???
I
cook
and
meal
plan
at
home…
I
didn’t
think
I’d
need
to
meal
plan
at
a
high
end
restaurant.
If
Pearl
Morrisette
claims
to
be
a
high
end
restaurant
offering
creative
dishes
they
are
lacking
of
insight
into
a
high
demand
of
healthy
balanced
vegetarian
cuisine
that
adheres
to
the
Canadian
Food
Guide.
Finally
after
much
discussion,
the
manager
asked
the
chef
to
see
what
he
could
do
as
an
EXTRA
course.
This
is
not
what
we
wanted,
but
he
insisted
and
we
were
presented
with
a
sunny
side
up
egg
in
a
tart
shell,
ridiculous.
To
top
it
off
we
were
sitting
in
a
tent
facing
the
parking
lot,
could
barely
hear
the
servers
and
the
ambience
was
a
TWO
STAR.
They
could
have
had
candles
on
the
table
to
make
the
setting
a
little
nicer.
So
after
my
experience
last
night,
I
would
never
go
back
and
would
never
recommend
this
restaurant
to
any
vegetarian.
Our
$500
meal
was
not
worth
it
.
