Mexican temperatures and cuisine right here!

 Summer is finally here!  There can be no doubt about that!  I, for one, thrive in the heat so I am truly loving this weather.  And the weather is also perfect for enjoying the outdoor life.  Our patio is the place you'll want to be this week while enjoying some of our Mexican dishes.  I'm excited to see the fried ice cream on the menu this time.  If you haven't tried it yet, you must!  Our cocktail of the week is a margarita.  If beer is your thing, try out the Dos Equis.  We have a spectacular wine menu as well.  

McGill's is open three evenings a week to serve you our Mexican delights - Thursday through Saturday from 5.00pm until close.   Always freshly prepared, our cuisine will have you coming back for more and eagerly anticipating Mexican week each time it rolls around.  Enjoy 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.

Summer's here! So is the Italian menu!

An example of Caprese Salad
It's here!  That time of year we wait ten months for . . . summer!  And it is supposed to be a glorious weekend!  Nothing like a bit of sun to make everything all right in the world.  And there's nothing like Italian food to bring comfort to one's belly.  :-)  The weather is just perfect for enjoying your meal outside on our patio.  Or simply having a drink before going inside to eat.  It's all about the outdoor living come these temperatures.  And relaxation!  What a perfect way to pass an evening with friends and family!  Toss in a pitcher of sangria, a few beers or cocktails, a bottle of wine, and your evening is complete.  McGill's has definitely got you covered on all counts.

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 - Friday and Saturday from 5.00pm until close.  (And as a special treat, the Junkyard Lounge will be open tonight, so if you fancy a bit of dancing after your meal, pop along upstairs.)  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!
