We are one of Cape Breton Island’s most highly acclaimed destination seafood restaurants, specializing in Nova Scotia lobster. For many years, we have been listed in Anne Hardy’s “Where to Eat in Canada”. Our dining room hosts weekly local entertainment, reflecting the culture of the south side of Cape Breton Island, which is often called a hidden gem by visitors who pleasantly stumble upon our area, every year.
