We had a prefixed meal as part of a tour. Chicken, potatoes, mixed veg and a salad and drink. Food was really good as well as the atmosphere. Right on the side of the lake which the name infers. Beautiful setting. Service was great. read more

They seated us right beside our bar seat (30 minutes later at a table that was never occupied). No one approached us for over an hour. When we said we were leaving because no one spoke to us, the person who made us our drinks argued with me and said she did not know where we went. We went 3 feet from where she served us drinks. Others nearby were served. I asked a waitress who was nearby about a server and she said she would find out who had our table. A few minutes later we saw three servers arguing about who had to serve us. After 30 more minutes we left. I wish we hadn't stopped to pay. It was $43. No tip. No way. Also the sangria sucked. Stay away!!! And what they can do is care and be kind. Also I would give zero stars but I can't so I will give it one star because Nathan MacDonald was singing and he was amazing. Restaurant gets zero stars.
Amazing place. One of few that lives up to the expectations…read more Food was spectacular. Some of the best seafood I've had anywhere in the northeast. Quality is superb and the dish ideas and presentation are supreme. Desserts are claimed to be made in-house and very much taste like it. Service is okay. A bit slow and hectic, but the waitresses were cool to chat with and attentive in ways a lot of places aren't. Gorgeous scenery and location, tucked away from the rest of Baddeck.

The entire cafe has a cozy diner setup with plenty of seating. We decided to start the day with a simple bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich as well as a hot chocolate. The food was quickly prepared and brought to us. The hot chocolate was rich and warm while the sandwich was light yet filling. The cafe also offers boxed lunch options for the road which is a terrific option for travelers and visitors hitting the trail like us. My only complaint is that they were only open from Thursday to Monday, because I would easily return every morning!

The food here was okay but service was terrible. Overall, it's a 2.5 star experience rounded up. Our waitress didn't show up a long time after we were seated and after we ordered our food, she never showed up and we asked other waitress to grab her. However, the other waitress just impatiently told us our server was coming but she didn't even bother grabbing our server. Our waitress only showed up again after we finished our meal and paying the bill. Terrible service provided by this restaurant! Food was 4-star quality. We ordered chicken wings which was delicious, grilled salmon was very dry, lobster sandwich was with decent portion and very tasty and went well with the butter grilled bread. The chicken supreme we ordered was cooked well (not dry). Overall, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone because of the terrible service. The food itself is not worth the terrible service.

We were greeted by incredibly friendly staff, ordered drinks that arrived promptly to catch the last glimpse of the sunset on their beautiful balcony. All the courses of dinner were excellent - clearly fresh, local ingredients prepared beautifully. Each dish was complex yet straightforward and unpretentious - something you'd expect and are familiar with, but made with care and great ingredients. We loved that the chef wasn't trying too hard just for the sake of complexity, as we have experienced at many other tasting menus. We enjoyed our time from start to finish! When you go, just arrive early before the reservation time to enjoy a drink on the deck before the sun sets!

At this point it was almost 8 o'clock so I cancelled the order. The waitress charged my nephew full price for an ice cream even after all this mess. I finally went to confront her about it and she simply told me it was the busiest night of the season. 76 bucks for only two of four people to eat and only got half of the food we ordered. We will not be back.
