Goodbye April! Hello, Italian menu!

Bruschetta

Last day of April and I have to say, I'm not impressed.  Where are the warmer temperatures?  I still see snow; in fact, it was snowing this week.  What the heck?!  Good thing it's the Italian menu this week and simply delicious comfort food because we sure need it.  And don't forget to check out our wine list.  We have Garrison's beer on tap, domestic and imported beers, as well.  Toss in a pitcher of sangria, a few beers or cocktails, a bottle of wine, and your evening is complete.  McGill's has got all your needs covered.

Give us a call today on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  We are open to serve you our Italian cuisine three nights this week - Thursday through Saturday from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  All of our dishes are freshly prepared, but we can assure you the wait is definitely worth it!  This is relaxed dining in an intimate atmosphere at its very finest.  Find us at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas.  We'd love for you to join us!

Buon Appetito!!!

It's Indian time at McGill's!

The title gave it away!  This week's theme menu is Indian, which is a firm favourite for many of you.  The great thing about these dishes is if you prefer your meal a little hotter, a little spicier, than mild or even medium, you can ask your server to get the kitchen to kick it up a notch for you.

McGill's is fully licensed with Garrison beer on tap, bottled beer and an excellent selection of wines.  Or try a cocktail.  Finish off your meal with an tasty specialty coffee. 

All our dishes are freshly prepared, but the wait is definitely worth it!  Come in and try some of our Indian cuisine Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5.00pm until 8.00pm.  You will not be disappointed.  Our goal is to give you a memorable dining experience which will have you coming back time after time.  Give us a call on (902) 681-3225 and let us reserve a table for you.  Reservations are encouraged.  This is relaxed dining in an intimate atmosphere.  You'll find us at 18 Kentucky Court, New Minas.  We'd love to have you join us.

We're heading to the Med this week!

With spring definitely underway here finally, we don't need to dream of vacationing in the Med any longer.  I, for one, love the unveiling of all the seasons, but I must say Mother Nature kept spring tightly veiled until this past week.  It's awesome to see life coming back to nature.  And people!  In case you haven't guessed it, we're offering you the Mediterranean menu this week.  This is one of the healthiest diets to follow and is indeed make-you-feel-good food.  With an excellent wine list, bottled beer and Garrison's beer on tap, McGill's is set to make your dining experience a memorable and enjoyable one.  Ask one of our waitstaff for a cocktail.  Or a specialty coffee, which ends a fantastic meal quite nicely.

Bring on the April showers! And the Italian menu!

An example of a Caprese Salad

Who else is ready for April showers rather than the other "s" word?  We have truly had our fair share of winter this year, compacted into a couple of months.  I am ready for a little rainfall.  And it is so nice to have more daylight hours!  Clearly, we are still in need of comfort (Have you seen the size of some of the potholes emerging already?!), which is why McGill's is bringing you the Italian-themed menu this week.  Let the Caprese salad take you away to evenings spent on the deck or patio, enjoying outdoor living once again!  Throw in your beverage of choice and your escape is complete.  McGill's has got you covered with your choice of beverage as we have an excellent wine list, Garrison beer on tap as well as domestic and imported beers.  Fancy a cocktail?  We can do that too.  Finish the perfect meal off with a specialty coffee.
