Some of the food is pretty good. Bread seems to be freshly backed and the seafood chowder is to die for, if you like seafood. The pre-packed foods are similar to the other tourist places in the area. The seafood chowder has a great punch of flavor and seafood. The chowder is packed with scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster. I was amazed at how much seafood was in the bowl (see my pictures). The accompanied roll was soft and tasted freshly backed. The chowder is the only reason I gave them an extra star...

The food is overpriced and they got my order completely wrong. The workers seemed disorganized and…read moreconfused. The gift shop is cute, but a bit crowded and dark

Stopped for breakfast on the way to Baddeck Hands down…read moreawesome food.My 9 year old ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and she loved it . She was more excited by the fact that they decorated it around with gummy bears.Truly a kids heaven. I had a egg and cheese with onions and peppers.it was the best bread I had. love their indoor vibe and decor.Will definitely come back anytime we are visiting. Love the staff.awesome people.

This might be the best lunch spot around Baddeck. The menu focuses on soup, sandwiches, and salads…read morebut does all three of them very well. (Note: they also have amazing cheeses and desserts) The first soup we had here was a Creamy Sweet Potato that was amazing because of the deep rich flavour. The first sandwich was a chicken and roasted vegetable on beautifully toasted bread. Both the soup and the half sandwich was a perfect amount for lunch; they serve quality not quantity. Looking for a breakfast on the go? Check out their breakfast wraps which were made with crispy bacon and fresh eggs. Finally, the staff was very friendly and so were the other customers with people saying 'hi' and playing with our small child. The result is a great vibe from this place and we will be going back many times.

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.

We went to the location not on the waterfront tonight. They said there would be a 30 minutes wait…read more So, we had a drink at the bar. 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.

In a region with basically no real food options, this is was the best I went to outside of Baddeck…read more The food is quality, but is a bit mixed for taste. Comes off as being too try hard instead of natural, very counter the ambiance of the place. I felt totally scammed by the 'catch of the day.' Luxury restaurant price for sub par pub quality fish. Wish I got something else. Dessert was good, though. Service felt very rushed and panicked and struggled with the same lack of attentiveness this part of the continent is known for. Loved the live music, though. Fun experience that made the stop absolutely worthwhile and one I'd go back to. I'd just do the menu very differently next time.

Usually uou receive it with chunks of artichoke and long Spinach leaves so this was a nice change. The fried Pita chips served with a seasoning were phenomenal and gave it the kick it needed. We also enjoyed a lemon drop that was strong and supper yummy!!! The Fiddle Burger was the other item we both shared was a pretty good size; if I had to guess it was 8 oz. Served charred and super moist!! The bun was toasted nicely. The bacon was crisp and there were several strips next to the Chipotle aoili to create a phenomenal burger.

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!
