June 19, 2013. Western Head, N.S. The Quarterdeck.

Tonight, for no reason at all, Gill took Kan and me to the Quarterdeck for dinner.   Somehow or another, unexpected invitations are more fun but I don't know why.   I had just come home from town, after tea with Mary and Walt, when Gill walked over to see if we would join her for dinner at the Quarterdeck.  What a lovely surprise.

The Quarterdeck is in Summerville Beach, just down the coastal road, and sits right over the sand and rocks and water.  When you eat on the porch, the water is right underneath you and at low tide you can watch the shore birds searching for food.   If you are looking for a restaurant with a view, the Quarterdeck would be the place to go.    This past winter,  during a storm,  water came right over the road so this year, all the foundation posts have been replaced under the restaurant and porch and a stone and cement wall installed in front of the parking area.   In past years, the only barrier separating the cars from the ocean was a row of logs.

Fortunately, in addition to the setting, the food is good, as is the service.    We like to dine there but we especially enjoy it when we are unexpectedly taken out to dinner.   It was a lovely surprise.
