    Seafood casserole
    Erika L.

    This is a restaurant located in Baddeck where we chose to stop off at on our way from Cape Breton to Halifax and we were floored by how good the food was. The staff and service was excellent and every one was friendly. We got a view out to the water which was fun for people watching. We got some calamari which was delicious and then we opted to get the shoreline casserole and fish and chips which were so good (two of us shared all the above). The shoreline casserole was by far the best dish we have had in a while for seafood. Would definitely recommend- either as a stop on your drive, or if you were to spend some time in Baddeck which is a super cute town!

    Tiny pieces of bread with meal.

    The restaurant was not busy when we came in. Only about 8-10 in the dining room near the window and others outside. Service was slow. My husband ordered onion soup which was good, and 3 tiny crab cakes which he said had no crab in them. They were $13. His soup was $9. I ordered shrimp for $22. They were cooked nicely, but not many of them and the sauces were in small containers. The baked potato was not cooked all the way and they offered no butter. The serving of bread was ridiculously small. I took a picture if it, it was so rediculous. The picture won't do it justice. Our bill came to $60 with tip, we had no drinks and my husband and I felt taken advantage of. The servings are very small.

    Lobster Caps with Salad

    We were in the area and it was time for lunch. This place was perfect. Our waitress, Tammy, was very friendly. They have a lunch menu and everyone in my family really enjoyed their meal. We got to sit inside by the window and look out on the lovely view. I got a dish I had never heard of based on Tammy's recommendation, Lobster Caps. They were amazing. Mushrooms, filled with lobster and cheese. I mean how can you go wrong. Tammy even told me how to make them at home. The dish also came with a choice of salad. My husband got the lobster sandwich with a cup of the Bluenose chowder. We got an education on the Bluenose from Tammy. My father got the Haddock with a French Onion Soup. Food was perfect. The entire experience was very pleasant. If back in the area would stop back by.

    Wow! 5-stars - I ordered Coquille St. Jaques and it was the best I've ever had! Complemented nicely with fresh vegetables, perfectly cooked, and a baked potato. The atmosphere was great, with Live music by Cyril MacPhee and we had a nice view of Bras d'Or and the Kidston Island lighthouse. Wine list was nice, full of local Nova Scotia favorites. Service was fantastic, as well. I tried the chowder also, which was outstanding. we are here on vacation and if we come back would definitely eat again here and try more of the delicious sounding items on the menu.

    This place is a gem. Best mussels I've ever had. I ate here twice during my stay on Cape Breton Island. The lobster sandwich is delicious, on the tastiest bread! Also have the chowder, which is full of fish! The service was great and everyone was so friendly

    Roving bagpipes entertained us!

    See all

    The service was very slow, the wait was long, the meals small for the price was expensive. Don't recommend eating here.

    Nice location on the deck. Caesar salad tasted good but the portion was very small and over priced.
