Does not look great from the outside, but inside it had a more polished vibe starting with a beautiful bar. The menu was short but well thought out and included vegetarian option(that I did see people ordering). I have the steak frites and my husband had a burger. We were a bit dehydrated from hiking so we didn't try the cocktails but they looked good. The crowd is a mix of regulars and travelers like us. It was pretty busy on a Sunday...also a testament to their food.

I'd like to come back on a regular night for the clam chowder and then I'd be happy to rate the staff and the facility. I will say, however, that I was disappointed that there were only 2 local beers on tap, everything else was a big national bland errr I mean brand lol

Not a good experience at all. I ordered strip loin steak…read more BNo baked potato. Half the plate was taken up by a swirl of sweet potato which I did not order. The presentation tried to be artsy but failed miserably. Too much grizzle and fat on the steak. When I did eat a steak only piece it was good. But not med rare. Closer to blue. I ordered a lemonade. When the waitress served my steak she did not notice my empty glass and I had to ask another waiter to bring a refill. For the rating this restaurant had on Yelp, it was totally undeserved.

I usually do not bother posting negative reviews but our experience at this eatery was so dreadful…read morethat it put an entire damper on our family's first night in Cape Breton. We waited 1 1/2 hrs for our food only to be told that we would be waiting another long while. No explanation given. It was absolutely the worse service we've ever experienced. Never once have I walked out of a restaurant before the main course was even served. It was that terrible. In addition to the ridiculous wait time for food, I had to ask our waitress and the manager repeatedly to check on our order. Neither the server nor the manager bothered to explain what was happening with our order. It would have been decent to at least tell us that we would be waiting some 2 hrs for our food order without our having to continuously enquire as to its status. We got nothing until I was following up and finally had enough and just left. To add insult to injury, my son was given a chair that was too short for the bar stool table we were seated at. Although this eventually got resolved, I had to complain to the manager. It's too bad as we very much enjoyed our appetizers, Caesar salad and chicken wings. Although they too arrived quite late, we were hopeful that the main course would follow quickly....it obviously did not!
