    The spot was amazing and incredible view and short walk from our Airbnb. Everyone was kind and inviting from the host to our server. We were constantly checked in on, we had our 11 month old baby with us who we also felt very welcomed with. Food was delicious, our sweet server even gave us some milk to give the baby as he woke from his sleep and was a bit fussy. Great spot, wonderful staff and delicious food !

    We found this restaurant online through chat GPT and the reviews were excellent. The ambiance is lovely and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The menu could be considered a bit limited by some people. The kale salad was excellent. We split the fish and chips and the steak frites and both were very good. The parm fries were nothing special - just fries with parm sprinkled on the top fries. There aren’t many restaurants in Cheticamp so this is definitely worth a stop

    The lobster roll was a disappointment as it was just served in a hamburger bun essentially the lobster was fine

    Would not recommend. Overpriced food for the quality. The fries were inedible and hard. A fork couldn’t even pierce through it. Pasta was overcooked and mushy. Very expensive for very poor quality food. Avoid!
