Service here was okay but food had hits and misses. We ordered bread, grilled salmon, cod fillet, Caesar salad, jambalaya and seafood pasta. Of all the dishes we've ordered, I liked the flavourful Caesar salad. Seafood pasta was alright too. However, the bread, salmon and Tuscan chicken all tasted very dry. So did the jambalaya, flavourless and not spicy at all. Overall, the vibe and service are okay but food is mediocre.

It's easy to be curious about new restaurants in a small town, as you quickly get well-acquainted…read morewith the existing ones. This goes double for a restaurant consistently has a packed parking lot every day that it's open, which was the case for Tilly's Kitchen. I'd never been inside the restaurant(s?) that preceded Tilly's at their stately accomodations on Stellarton Road, and am worse off for it. The interior has character galore, with wooden arches and door frames, stained glass and more, although light stains for the woods and neutral paint colours keep it from being dark, dreary and dated. For appetizers, the table started with an order of their crispy dumplings ($15) and mussels ($16). The deep fried dumplings strayed far from their Asian origins, with pulled pork, lime and ginger creme fraiche, and pea shoots, but were a tasty start to the meal nonetheless. I focused on the mussels, mainly leaving the dumplings to my seafood-adverse wife. They were wonderfully tender, without a hint of overcooked rubberiness. The smoked tomato sauce didn't have a lot of smoke to it, but a hint of spice and herbs kept it from being bland. My wife's chicken and chorizo pasta ($23 + $2 GF noodle), was a savoury and hearty dish, with a hit of spice from the chorizo and a lovely red pepper and Dijon sauce that clung to each piece of pasta. The paella I ordered for my main ($32) may have been missing out on the crispy edges of the less fancy, more traditional version, but it would be hard to drum up any other complaint about this iteration. The plentiful seafood (*deep inhale* scallops, haddock, shrimp, squid, salmon and mussels) was cooked to tender perfection, while the chorizo, tomato and saffron broth added a layered and rich flavour to the whole dish. We finished the meal with a shared dessert, the truffles and port. A steal at just $12, it comes with two shots of the classic fortified wine, along with four house-made truffles, which were spectacularly smooth and rich and would satisfy any chocolate lover. Tilly's Kitchen is checking all the right boxes - beautiful atmosphere, great service and food that's bringing new flavours to Pictou County in well-executed, stylishly-plated dishes.

I went for breakfast with my boyfriend and his mom, it's a new restaurant to the area so we thought…read morewe'd check it out - the menu looked great with a lot of options. We were seated quickly - the restaurant itself was clean and casual. I ordered the chicken and waffles - the chicken tasted fine but the waffles were very soggy with way too much sauce (ranch I believe). He ordered a breakfast with bacon, pancakes and eggs. He liked the pancakes. His scrambled eggs were "wet" and watery - no flavour. The bacon was okay! I didn't ask his mom her opinion - but she did only eat half of her clubhouse sandwich and took the rest to go. I'm guessing it was average. Overall, I'm not sure it's worth trying again with other options in the area, like Pur&Simple. Yes, the prices are Stacked and great and look appealing - but in my experience you get what you pay for.

The property is beautiful and extremely well maintained. I loved the fact it was slightly out of town and provided an idyllic country setting.

My advice for someone booking a room here is to be aware the four rooms they offer are all configured differently so that might make a difference to someone booking here. The tea room was closed during our visit.

They post their soup schedule on their Facebook every week, and we lucked out because my wife has a nostalgic soft-spot for their soup of the day that day, corn chowder. Soups come with a biscuit or roll, and I doubled down on biscuits. The corn chowder was still piping hot after taking everything home and getting set up to eat. The soup was was creamy and smooth, with pops of sweetness and texture from the corn. The biscuits were buttery and lightly flaky, and while the exterior was a bit more firm and roll-like than a typical biscuit, it didn't detract from it. I had also picked up a loaf of whole wheat bread, which was light, airy and moist - great for sandwiches or on its own! On a return visit, it was another batch of soups - the daily special of clam chowder and the alway available, tomato cheddar. The clam chowder was thick and chock full of bits of clam and perfectly bite-size chunks of potato. I went for the roll this time, and it was light, smooth and great for dipping. My wife's tomato cheddar was a great, simple soup. The namesake flavours were front and centre and it had a silky mouthfeel from the added fat of the cheese, but the sauce didn't break and have actual pools of grease. For dessert, I bought a couple of their iced cinnamon rolls. They were light and airy - definitely head and shoulders above the grocery store ones - and a quick run through the microwave softened that butter/cinnamon/sugar mix wonderfully, without completely liquifying the icing. A Slice of Home is a fantastic addition to both the neighbourhood and the town as a whole, bringing thoughtfully made goods at affordable prices.
