I went here for the first time two summers ago and I had a fantastic time. The food was amazing and the live entertainment was just as good. I had not heard about this place before, even though I grew up in Cape Breton. I live in the U.S. now but I love Celtic music and hearing it live was a real treat. I will definitely be back. read more

We visited specifically to have lunch and take in the ceilidh that takes place between 11:30-2pm. We got there right at 11:30am and the place was already very full. We got seated at the back but still had a view of the stage. There was a keyboard player and a fiddle player on stage. I appreciated the intro explaining what a ceilidh is and how people can ask questions, dance, talk to neighbours. Since it was KitchenFest week, there was another duo that came up on stage at noon who were very good. The service was friendly, though not the quickest because of the crowd. The food was very good, with the chowder being a bit disappointing (lacked flavour) and the biscuit was dry, but the lobster roll was very good. Highly recommend it. read more

Oh my gosh, food is AMAZING, I had a big group of 16 people, they accommodated wonderfully, everyone loved their meals and the great selection of local beer! Not to mention the beautiful music and friendly service who even helped up take a group photo. read more

The restaurant is opened for lunch only. They provide free live Celtic music during lunch hours. We had the Cape Bretoner's Lunch (seafood chowder, fishcake, fish taco), Traditional Lobster Sandwich, and Chicken, Apple and Brie Panini. The food was great overall, and the chowder is particularly exceptional. read more
