We dropped in for a coffee after a visit to Louisbourg Fort. They were suffering a power-cut (residual work following hurricane damage) but still boiled some water for coffee and provided cake. Both tasty enough in the circumstances.Friendly staff and still made to feel welcome despite the circumstances.

What a disaster. First impression made me want to leave as the whole place felt completely austere. Okay, actually, my first impression was hopeful as the setting is ideal. Inside, as I said, austere. Was this an attempt at NYC chic? Crappy little paper napkins on the table, like from out of one of those metal holders with cheap, plain cutlery. Prices for lobster, exorbitant. Okay, it's a tourist trap, if the food is great, no big deal. It was explained that risotto came with a whole lobster, so why bother cracking my own. However, lobster so salty as to be inedible, so small as to be guaranteed a canner, probably frozen and reheated. Risotto was boring and plain with a few peas thrown in and this mini, salty tail and claw and a half on top. For $50 this was a total rip off. My friend had the haddock, with nasty, chunky potatoes (not mashed as per description) and coarsely breaded haddock. Cold veggies and certainly inadequate for the price. We did tell our server we were unhappy and then never saw anyone again. No one cared, no one asked, no one got a tip. My tip? Do not bother. Oh yes, after enquiring extensively about gluten free, the risotto plate came with a big bun on it. Thankfully on a charger plate. Hello!

We stopped in after visiting the Louisbourg Fortress and was not disappointed. There was only one waitress, but she was the best and kept up with everything and everybody. The outside of this place isn't much to look at, but after we stopped in we were glad we did. We had seafood the night before so my wife had there turkey dinner and I had lasagna. Both were great. I can not say enough about how great the waitress was, she made our evening.

We were in Louisbourg over the Thanksgiving weekend. Imagine our surprise to discover that 99% of the restaurants in Louisbourg close on the Saturday until next spring. Our choice was drive to Sydney or go to the only remaining open restaurant Jake's. we chose Jake's and were pleasantly surprised. I had the strip loin steak which was cooked perfectly with great fries and my wife had a seafood Caesar salad which was fresh and tasty. Service was fast and friendly and the cost was quite reasonable. Give Jake's a try you won't go wrong.
