The cable room at The Telegraph House — Restaurant in Baddeck

So, we got caught up on the Cabot Trail, so we were late for our reservation. As such, we got a table that was not ideal. I chalk that up to our own fault, not the restaurant. I had the Beef Tenderloin, which was okay (but it should have been way better than just okay at these prices). My wife had the Risotto and it was borderline inedible with the amount of salt and the steak in it was overcooked. It also took over an hour to get an entree after my appetizer scallops (Which were delicious, but three scallops the size of a quarter does not equal $20+) Empty wine glasses just sat on the table for over 20 minutes at one point and the waitress (who was nice enough, she may have been just busy, but still) walked by 13 times before she offered to refill them (yes, we counted, we were bored). $250 (including tip) on my birthday and the only thing I can recommend about this place is the pizza across the road.

The deserts were also interesting and unpretentious, and the sticky toffee pudding and apple crisp ice cream did not disappoint. The overall experience goes to show that an outstanding chef understands that good food can also be naturally...

One of the best meals I have had in a long time. Do fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We have food allergies and it was so wonderful to have many options to choose from. The chicken dinner was generous serving and loved that it had a variety of perfectly cooked veggies and addition of cranberry sauce. I had the white wine and it was perfect. Our waitress answered our questions and was so nice. (sorry forgot your name, beautiful petite older lady) We most appreciated that they could fit us in without a reservation that evening. We were honouring my dad that night so it really...
