We came here for a nice little meal in their cosy dining room in the beginning of October this year. There was live music, in preparation for the Celtic Colours festival. The service was homely style (as it's also an inn) but we were very impressed with the food. We decided to go for the seafood options - sweet chilli salmon and the corn campfire trout. Both were cooked to perfection and served... more

Originally from Arizona, we had our Canadian Thanksgiving here in October 2014.

The service was average, but the food was top notch. Especially dessert! They served ALL the trimmings of a traditional Canadian Thanksgiving.

If you are ever in Baddeck for this holiday week, come to the Inn! It's a neat place for tourism as well. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the rooms, as well didn't stay... more

Mediocre food; pleasant setting
August 13, 2014

Right in the middle of Baddeck, it was pleasant to sit outside and our server was friendly and nice. But food really not good at all: haddock tasteless except for sodden breadcrumbs, floury chowder, etc. Lots of better food choices in the area.

Basic menu at slightly elevated prices. Inexperienced service but pleasant. Cold vegetables. Unremarkable but not terrible but there are clearly better choices in Baddeck. Go to Telegraph Hotel if you want something more memorable.

Out Dated Decor & Menu
July 28, 2014

After a full day of touring around the island we did not pick a winning location for dinner. Our dinner was uninspiring and lacked sophistication. The whole place was kind of like eating at your great grandmothers house; you know the cook is trying but is a bit out of date with everything.

Worst dining experience in Nova Scotia
July 27, 2014

We ordered what was supposed to be fresh haddock with chips and fresh vegetables. What came were thin, triangular shaped, flat breaded things, runny with oil or grease, don't know which. I think they were probably frozen fillets. They were inedible. The veg was tasteless, but I forced them down because I was hungry. Tried to eat the chips but... more

Terrible
July 26, 2014

We had dinner here one night of a week long stay in Baddeck. The food was terrible, the presentation was terrible and the service was just possible. The interior atmosphere is over done and garish. The deck is ok if you like sitting on the edge of a parking lot and street corner. Lots of much better choices.

Lynwood Inn excellent dinner
July 23, 2014

The restaurant server was a delight. She was friendly and a good waitress. The lobster was local and tasted wonderful. I had local lake trout which is the best I have ever had. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone. You can eat indoors or on the terrace.

Beyond Terrible - Shocking - Warranted a Report to the Health Department
July 23, 2014

Our shocking experience began when the unappetizing sliced bread was served with those nasty little pre-sealed butter containers. I went to open a butter container and found that it had already been opened and most of the butter cleaned out -- meaning someone had used it and the container was placed in our basket. This means that the restaurant is... more

Disappointed for dinner
July 22, 2014

We had dinner here on our 2nd night in Baddeck. Dinner was 1 steak, 2 Lasagna's and a fettuccine with chicken. The steak had far too much pepper on it, the Lasagnas were made with too much garlic, as was the fettuccine.

A long wait, and not nearly worth it
July 16, 2014

First off, the service was really bad. We waited over 45 minutes after ordering before our food appeared. During that time we had one server tell us it would be a few minutes (actually, almost 30), and "three minutes" (more like 10). No apology. One server whom we asked, in desperation, offered "more bread", not noticing that no one had... more

Good food, a bit pricey
March 29, 2014

Enjoyed a good meal here, with good service. Treated the children to lobster which was very expensive for what it was, and tasted a bit dry to me - which maybe how it is meant to be, I don't make a habit of dining on lobster! Just a little disappointed on this one dish for the price we paid.

An extremely busy restaurant, we obviously arrived the same time as a coach party. However, the was not apparent in the service which was both friendly and very efficient. A delicious tasty meal that you could imagine was home cooked, if the place had not been so packed. Highly recommended.

We came to the evening with high hopes of one of our final nights in Baddeck, but were sorely disappointed with mediocre food.

Ordered mussels to start, over half were unopened. We didn't eat the unopened ones, the waitress did bring a few more. Ordered English style fish n chips.

A nice and cozy place to stay on Cape Breton.
The interior wasn't exactly my taste but it was clean and reasonably priced. I loved the jets in the bathtub after a long ride on the Cabot Trail.
The downside: I had a room right to the side entrance and people were slaming the door constantly. Pretty annoying ... Do not take room G04.
