Buon Natale!!!


It's Italian week at McGill's just in case my greeting didn't give it away.  This week is easily the most popular and Chef Bond does a splendid job with the dishes.  I'm looking forward to trying the risotto as a starter.  Sounds like the perfect comfort food to me.  With wine. 
 
It's a busy and stressful time of year for many so this would be the perfect time to visit McGill's.  Italian food is the perfect comfort food.  Couple that with the relaxed and intimate atmosphere at McGill's and you have an exquisite dining experience.  Chef Bond (aka Daniel Craig) and his team in the kitchen are busy preparing for Christmas parties as well so reservations are strongly encouraged in the lead-up to Christmas.  Please remember all our dishes are freshly prepared, but we can assure you the wait is definitely worth it.  Give us a call today on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  We are open to serve you three nights a week - Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  Find us at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas. We'd love for you to join us.
