Our patio is open! Who needs the Med?

Our patio officially opened today and while our temperatures may not be quite as warm as those in the Med yet, it is Mediterranean week here at McGill's.  And it IS warming up quite nicely here in the Valley. 

Our Chef is offering you the opportunity to try a new dish this week--citrus poached halibut.  Sounds perfectly yummy and healthy to me!  And with three appetizers, three desserts and two other main courses, there is sure to be something to please every palate.  Still haven't tried us?  What are you waiting for?  We'll have you coming back again and again.  We are fully licensed with an excellent range in wines, Garrison beer on tap and specialty coffees and cocktails. 

As always, this menu is offered on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  Fine dining in a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.  Give us a call on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  We are located at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas.  And remember, our cuisine is always freshly prepared and well worth the wait.
