A quick review of a quick lunch stop. My lobster roll, with lettuce, a few sprouts, and mayo on a…read morebrioche bun, toasted with garlic butter, was decent. (I'm not one of those purists that think a lobster roll should be just lobster meat on a roll; that's boring.) An adequate amount of lobster, mostly large chunks not shreds, but too much mayonnaise. Pretty expensive though at $32 including fries and coleslaw but I've seen worse. Not exactly traditional with lobster roll but I'm on a poutine kick so I upgraded the fries to poutine for an additional $4. I've had better and I've also had worse. The fries, with skins, seemed freshly made in house, the gravy ok, but a bit skimpy on the cheese curds and the pieces were too small. The coleslaw was very good, but why was the portion so skimpy? The wife's chicken sandwich (buttermilk fried chicken thigh, toasted brioche, honey hot drizzle, dill pickle slaw, mayo) was outstanding. I was thrilled to see that an excellent local cider, Rebel Rose from Island Folk in Sydney, was available, so of course I had one of those. Menu is pretty small but in addition to the sandwiches, "pub fare", and a few seafood items there are a small number of entrees (served after 4:00 PM), and some interesting appetizers and desserts. They host occasional music events (Celtic, folk, etc.) so this should be a pleasant place to spend an evening.

I have multiple allergies, including seafood so there weren't many options for me. I was happy to…read moresee the burger had gf buns. The chips and fries are contaminated and I wasn't offered a replacement so I just skipped them. The burger was tasty, but tiny for the price. If you have a sesame allergy, the gf bun has sesame seeds. I asked for no mayo but it came on it anyway. I scraped it off. I was super grateful they took us late at night (20 mins before closing) and it had nice ambiance either way live music. My bf loved his meal. Unfortunately, it's just not a good option for me. I am rating this more based on my boyfriend's experience than mine.

We got a picnic table with on the lawn in less than 10-minutes but we were there way before sunset. Service was friendly and efficient.

Bonus, our truck camper fit in front but we also saw a class B RV park in their lot.

Nous avions réservé à ce restaurant en espérant une belle soirée pour notre famille de cinq…read morepersonnes -- un souper spécial pendant nos vacances, à près de 360$. Lors de la réservation, nous avions bien précisé que nous souhaitions une table avec vue sur la baie. Or, en arrivant, on nous a offert deux choix : une table à l'extérieur (en pleine saison des mouches à chevreuil) ou une salle sans vue, à l'arrière. Nous avons demandé poliment s'il était possible d'être assis dans la section vitrée, qui semblait pourtant partiellement vide. On nous a répondu que cette section ne pouvait accueillir de groupes de 5, alors qu'à l'œil, des tables de 4 étaient juste à côté de tables de 2 -- facilement combinables. Le serveur a ensuite changé plusieurs fois de justification : il fallait que ce soit précisé dans la réservation (ça l'était), puis que l'autre salle était " réservée ", et finalement qu'il n'y aurait " pas assez d'espace pour les serveurs " (un argument difficile à croire, ayant moi-même été en restauration). Bref, malgré notre réservation anticipée, nous avons été placés à l'écart, sans vue. Le service n'a malheureusement pas rattrapé l'expérience : nos plats ont mis une heure à arriver, alors que les enfants -- pourtant calmes et affamés -- attendaient. Le serveur n'a jamais proposé de pain ou d'amuse-bouche en attendant. Une fois les assiettes à peine terminées (et même pas toutes), il a commencé à les ramasser avec empressement, en demandant s'il pouvait déjà emballer les frites du garçon qui n'avait pas fini. Aucune file d'attente à la porte, rien qui justifiait cette précipitation. Puis, clou de la soirée : alors que nous comptions prendre un dessert, finir notre vin et peut-être un digestif, le serveur nous a lancé : " J'imagine que vous êtes pleins et que vous allez prendre une crème glacée dans le village? "... Ce genre de commentaire, après un repas aussi coûteux, laisse un goût amer. Mon conjoint l'a interpellé, et il s'est immédiatement excusé, mais le mal était fait. La nourriture était correcte, sans plus. À ce prix-là, on s'attendait à une expérience culinaire soignée : les huîtres (26$ pour 6) sont arrivées sans cuillère pour la mignonnette, sans sauces ni explication. En résumé : ce restaurant semble réservé à une certaine clientèle. Si vous y allez avec des enfants ou des ados, oubliez la belle vue (sauf si vous mangez sur une table à pique-nique). Nous étions venus pour une soirée conviviale avec une bonne table; nous sommes repartis déçus, mal accueillis et un peu humiliés. Dommage.

She gave me time to read the menu, took my order, placed it correctly, and checked back with me. The atmosphere and love music was very nice and enjoyable. Those are the 2 pluses. The food is a different story. I ordered the 5 oz New York steak, which came with mashed potatoes and carrots. The cook on the steak was perfect and the taste was very good, but it had a lot of gristle. I'd say 1/4 of the steak was inedible. The potatoes were pretty tasteless, dry, and needed a lot of salt, but there were plenty of them. There were maybe 5-6 half carrots. They were also pretty flavorless. I'm not Canadian so maybe that is what Canadians prefer: grisly meal and tasteless vegetables.

If you're visiting the province, one of the three Coldstream locations are a must visit. Nova…read moreScotians LOVE their Coldstream. They are best known for their vodka and coolers but they make dozens of different products. Flavoured vodka soda, gin, cream-based liqueurs along with many other base mixes. The vodka is nothing out of the ordinary but the locals are simple people and the products are great as a mix. Coolers are nothing special but great if you're looking for something light. One of our favourite things here was the 'bar'. Samples are ALL free and they've got everything available to try. If you're sitting in, you can have cocktails made by the bartenders. Order from the menu or check out the rotating weekly cocktails. The service here is a 10+. Staff is incredibly helpful, friendly and on the ball. Be sure to tip them! The one downside of this place and the reason for 4 stars is that the location is NOT accessible. A few stairs will take you up to the bar/retail area as well as washrooms. Merchandise all on the main floor. A bit surprising for a newer location but then again, accessibility is hugely lacking in the majority of this province.

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!
