This establishment is where you will find the halibut tastes like halibut, the lamb like lamb, along with the freshest of salads.
A reverence for food and a passion for service form the basis of the unique style of cuisine that has evolved in Chef Pauls kitchen and dining room over the years. Often the simplest dish on the menu contains the most painstakingly sought out ingredients, like fish so fresh it need only be served with wine and caramelized onions in which it is poached. Discover a wine list that is fun, intelligent, and unpretentious. In its present incarnation the dining room is a comfortable 30-seat room with a touch of sophistication and Oceanstone charm. Guests can expect crisp white linen, interesting crockery, crystal wine service, and fine art on the walls

Shore Club Lobster Supper - Hubbards
In August of 1936, Guy Harnish was approached by a large national convention, to cater to a 'Lobster Supper' on Hubbards Beach. The lobster party was a great success and soon more groups were enjoying the great 'Lobster Suppers'.
A decade later, Guy's son Roy, built the Shore Club, so that the 'Lobster Suppers' could be enjoyed rain or shine. The Shore Club was also designed as a Dance Hall, and became an instant hit, when it opened on August 24th, 1946 to a sellout crowd. Since that time, there have been few changes to the building - it still offers that casual, rustic charm; or the way the lobsters are prepared - fresh boiled in ocean water.
The menu has been tweaked, and now offers an all-you-can-eat salad bar - all of the salads are made fresh daily on site; unlimited fresh cultivated mussels steamed in wine and garlic butter; homemade rolls; fresh lobster boiled to order in ocean water, and served precracked with hot melted butter; a choice of desserts, although our blueberry shortcake is the favourite; and coffee/tea. Also available on the menu; chicken, steak or vegetarian option as well as childrens menu.
The Lobster Suppers can be enjoyed every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 4:00 - 8:00 pm, from early June until early October. And every Summer Saturday night since 1946, there has been a live band on stage for dancing.
