There's a debate among reviewers about what makes a good sticky bun. The reviews here are good…read moreguidance. If your taste runs sweet, these might be "ok" to you: they are not slathered in sticky stuff and would probably disappoint if your taste runs toward Paula Deen. Calling them dinner rolls is a misrepresentation, though. They resembled swedish cinnamon buns with a syrup on top. Their moderate level of sweetness was a good thing to me. You could enjoy them with coffee, but coffee isn't obligatory to cut the sweet. The doughnut was a doughnut. Considering this is a pretty remote location and Kelly's has been operating for 40 years, they definitely are doing something right. Service was pleasant and efficient, and appreciated.

The sticky bun instead have their paste on top of their bun and gets melted when baked. I prefer this over the cinnamon bun as cinnamon buns are often too strong on the cinnamon and too sweet.

Hunting for a place on Yelp, this stop popped up. So many good reviews, newly remodeled with good…read morefood.. why not. However, the answer is not why, but why not? So so many answers--- Let's start with the good...there's plenty of parking. The bathrooms are numerous and clean. The young man was kind when seating us. Next the almost good? The whiskey bbq burger- came out hot, but the bacon wasn't crispy, was stringy and undercooked. Waiting for my digestive system to process this later to see how it comes through.. Now with the mediocre- nachos. Should have been hotter- chicken probably leftover chicken? Best part the crispy cheese cooked onto the paper. And on to the bad... let's begin with a 30 minute wait for the food. We asked at 26 minutes where things were and why it was taking so long--4 minutes later 2 of the dishes were brought out. My egg was fine but potatoes were cold and the bacon disgustingly cold & flaccid--even worse than in the burger mentioned above. I sent them back-the potatoes were nuked and hot but the bacon still limp, sad and disgusting. The burger came out with the reheated egg dish and was ok.. The best part? The sign directing us to Trueman blueberry farm ice cream which we visited after our meal since we were hungry. Now THAT was amazing and a place you can't miss!

I ordered the 1.5 lb sous vide lobster pea risotto with a side of scallops garnished with fresh shaved truffles. The scallops were fresh and so delicious, but paled in comparison to that risotto. The risotto is one of the best things that I have ever eaten - lemony, not too creamy, crunchy, tender. My husband really enjoyed the halibut. As for the view, we had an 830 reservation and the sun was setting over 830-915 and it was spectacular. Looking out over the water later in the meal, we saw a head bobbing in the water, perhaps one of the seals or a small whale. Then the sky lit up way over in the distance by PEI, bits of lightning, pink, white. At the end of the meal the chef came out and we were so pleased to compliment her directly. This is a must repeat, splurge meal.

It's not often I feel 5 stars are justified, but we go to the Wild Caraway yearly and we've never…read morebeen anything but thrilled with the experience. The Wild Caraway is a 4.5 hour drive from where we live now, but when we decided to take a day off this summer and do something fun, that was our obvious road trip destination. On a good weather day the drive between Glenholme and Advocate Harbour is beautiful, and a walk on the beach near Advocate or a hike at Cape Chignecto works up a decent appetite. We landed at the Wild Caraway around 3, in time to catch the lunch menu but a little early for dinner. The restaurant resides in an old farmhouse, refinished taking the history of the placed into account, but painted beautifully funky colours and decorated with creatively placed vintage items - calendars from the 1940s, a frozen meat saw box, likely from the 50's, and vintage beer mugs from a world of interesting events and places. Original artwork hangs around the dining areas and there ar teo rooms for rent upstairs in case the menu of delicious Nova Scotia brews gets the best of you. The Wild Caraway's menu is a little on the short side, but it revolves completely around locally produced meats and in-season vegetables, and as farmers we believe that's something a lot more restaurants should be taking into consideration. The dinner menu actually changes week to week. Troy chose the pasta of the day, fusilli with halibut and fresh veggies tossed with garlic and olive oil. I had the meatloaf burger with fries. When the plates arrived neither portion looked overwhelmingly huge, but the fact that Troy finished without room for dessert, and I left a few fries on my plate is a true indication of how filling it really was. The meal started with fresh baked biscuits, peppered with dulse. Simply delicious. I am not a fan of meatloaf, so I'd hummed and hawed befor ordering, but the burger was absolutely amazing. The grilled pork meatloaf patty was lightly spiced and wrapped in a slice of Oulton's bacon, The toppings were simple - a smoked mayonnaise with lettuce and tomato, but the flavour...oh my! Even when I got to the point where I didn't think another bite was possible I just couldn't let that burger go. It pained me to have to leave a few fries behind, because they were perfectly crispy and as ungreasy as any fry has ever been, but I just wasn't willing to send a bite of that burger back. Troy's pasta looked simple enough, but the garlicky drssing announced its presence long before it hit the table. We are both huge fans. The pasta was delicious, the veggies were beautifully done, and the halibut was cooked perfectly. Sometimes the simplest dishes are the real masterpieces. The Wild Caraway has perfected that perfect balance of fine dining and casual comfort. You can go there in jeans and a t-shirt, you can dress up a little for a special date. The food is consistent and as good as anything I've eaten in this province. The commitment to using Nova Scotian ingredients makes the menu incredible and creative, and the staff know how to make you feel at home from the second you walk through the door. Advocate Harbour is a beautiful feast for the eyes. Top it off with a visit to the Wild Caraway and you'll have a road trip second to none no matter where you're from.
