    Menu sounded good, but both risottos (mushroom and lobster) were poor - overcooked mushy rice and indistinguishable flavours.

    Amazing experience: farm to table, very fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and very delicious. Service was excellent. We are in town only for two days, but will probably go again tonight. Not to be missed.

    We are frequent guests here. It is by far the best food to be had in Cape Breton, wonderful farm to table fine dining. They make everything in house, everything is gluten free if that matters to you, but it does not suffer from being gluten free in any way. Their desserts are also incredible!
