"Tourism season is bread and butter for providers of hospitality on Prince Edward Island. Last summer, the island’s marquee attraction for hungry locals and visitors — TV-star chef Michael Smith’s Inn at Bay Fortune and Inn at Fortune Bridge — invited islanders to pop in and enjoy their Farm-to-Picnic baskets, packed with goodies made from the bounty of local producers."

"It’s every bit as spectacular as its name. FireWorks Feast is part performance, lecture and walking tour—and all gourmet extravaganza."

Beauty and Brine: Prince Edward Island Is an Oyster-Lover’s Paradise | Bon Appétit

"The east has a New England feel—quaint beach towns and elegant properties, like The Inn at Bay Fortune. Once an artists’ colony favored by Broadway and silent film actors, it’s now owned by a celebrity chef and his wife Chastity. Michael Smith, who headed the kitchen in the ’90s, bought and renovated the inn in 2015, replacing fussy tasting menus with the FireWorks Feast, a dinner cooked over open flame." - ByChantal Martineau

How to Spend a Big Fat Weekend in Prince Edward Island in Canada | Bon Appétit

"If we were doing superlatives here, I’d giveFireWorks“The Proposal Restaurant.” Because, yeah, a couple got engaged mid-meal while I was there. But also because it’s definitely the most expensive, fanciest restaurant on the island. You arrive at 5 p.m. for a tour of the farm. Then at 6 p.m. oyster hour starts, where you walk around to different stations (one of them serves unlimited oysters with Bloody Mary ice) to try some smaller bites—spit-roasted rabbit with zucchini relish, pea shoots, and mustard crema was awesome. Finally, you sit down to a six-course tasting menu dinner, where each dish is made using live-fire. To finish? Homemade strawberry marshmallows roasted over a campfire. There’s nothing else like it on the Island." - ByRachel Karten

I was there for the feast, overnight stay, and brunch about a year ago with my wife, sister and brother in law. We were seated on a table near the fire kitchen. We were a little late to the table and there was a party of four who decided to sit away from the fire kitchen in row, across from us. The waitstaff saw what was going on, glanced between them, but did not say anything. We found it was a little odd that we were seated all towards the fire kitchen. What a mistake. It was way too hot to enjoy anything. We were drenched in sweat before the main course and could not enjoy the dinner. My late sister was suffering from metastatic cancer, and we wanted to do something nice for her. I only realized that the seating arrangement had been altered afterwards, and those four people offered to rearrange but away from the fire kitchen where our name tag was. Again, nothing from the waitstaff. I grew extremely frustrated. My sister complained of neck pain during the dinner. None of us enjoyed the experience. I had been there with my wife in 2018. It was still hot but we felt like the food was not as good as the first time. The hotel rooms were old and dank for the price. Overnight, my sister had a small brain hemorrhage, and we had to rush to the ER in Charlottetown the next morning. To the inn at Bay fortune staff, such seat rearrangement should have NEVER been permitted. It was not fair that others were allowed to change their assigned seats at our expense. I understand that all that happened with my sister may or may not have anything to do with being in an extremely hot environment for many hours, but the whole experience was infuriating. To our table neighbours who changed seats before we got there, if you ever read this, know that your actions have consequences. I hope someday you’ll be more considerate.

Absolutely Outstanding – A Must-Experience Culinary Event!The Chef Michael Smith Fireworks Feast was truly exceptional – one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Watching Chef Michael and his team work around the open fire was like witnessing a perfectly choreographed dance. The energy, the passion, and the precision were all part of the magic.As someone with multiple food sensitivities, I usually approach events like this with caution. But what a wonderful surprise – not only were there delicious alternatives for me, but they were just as creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented as the main offerings. I felt fully included, which is rare, and the food was absolutely top notch.The whole evening was a celebration of local ingredients, fire-cooked flavors, and warm hospitality. If you’re a foodie or just someone who appreciates a unique and memorable experience, don’t miss this. Truly hard to beat – I’m already looking forward to the next one!

Thank you so much for an unforgettable evening at the Fireworks feast - it was more than a meal…it was a sensory experience. Core memories were made. Our entire party was wowed. The staff were incredible - we could all tell how passionate they are about what they do and loved how they were so willing to engage in conversation about that passion. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail and accommodation of my dietary restrictions without feeling like I was missing out on anything. Thank you!

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe what an experience we had here. It started with our greeting at reception. Homemade cookies? Yes please? The staff were friendly. The room was wonderful, cozy and comfortable. We had some time to relax before the Feast began. We started with a drink at the bar, where the bartender shared her experiences of life on PEI. We wandered the grounds and were impressed by the garden set up. Then the learning. From the greenhouse, Farmer Kevin’s informative talk then the first round of appetizers outside. Yum! The toast before going inside to enjoy this amazing until course meal was a great way to kick off. We were thrilled to meet Chef Michael and his wife Chaz. It really was a once in a lifetime experience!

Amazing, unexpected experience - very authentic and grounded. Recommended for anyone who enjoys food, story telling and company. The dinner feast was an experience unlike any I have had before in the most positive way. The room was cute and the setting was very relaxing.

This is pure, unadulterated luxury! The feast, the accommodations, the staff, all come together to form perfection. It was on my life “bucket list” to come as I’ve followed Michael Smith’s career since his early days. To meet him, his gracious wife, and incredible family, as well as the astounding team that make up the Inn, will stay with me and my wife forever. And the food! I can’t even begin to do it justice by describing it. Suffice it to say that it is undiluted joy.

A food lovers paradise. We visited at the end of September - the end of the busy season. The Fireworks Feast was just amazing. Our suite in the North Tower was magical. Creaky floors and all. Breakfast was outstanding. We stayed two nights and found it difficult to find somewhere to eat in the afternoon on our second night without having to drive too far - most places had closed after the summer season. It was fun exploring that side of the island.
