Review from He and She I.
11/2/2011
Wonderful waitstaff, lots of nice options. It was very difficult to decide which of the options to choose, so we depended on the help of the waiter, who was very knowledgeable.
Foods are prepared from local ingredients where possible, and presented in a manner which increases the delight with which you approach your plate.
She chose the rabbit, because it had been years since she had tasted this dish. Unfortunately, there were a large number of mushrooms competing with the rabbit and fresh noodles. She just pushed them aside, and ate the rabbit.
He had ribeye with a side of lobster, and declared it delicious. -

This place had a pleasant atmosphere, though felt slightly like an old lady's house.
The food was good, simple sandwiches, soups, and salads which were creative and well prepared. The bread was good and everything was fresh.
The service I received was terrible. There was hardly anyone in the restaurant, and it took over 20 minutes for my husband and I to get bread. I don't know if the wait staff just didn't like us, but 2-3 tables that were seated after us left before us. There were times when I looked around the little dining room and there was no wait staff to be seen. I started to wonder if our waitress was sick or something because she would start to walk into the dining room, then turn around and leave.
It was a pleasant enough place to stop on our journey from Halifax to Cape Breton Island. I am not sure whether our poor service was a fluke, but I would have recommended this place much more highly if the service had not been so bad. -

Good selection of food. A tad expensive but it's worth it. The service is your typical east coast charm!

Gabrieau's has an excellent menu, specialising in fine dining, with a good selection of seafood dishes. The chef/owner is very good. This restaurant is a little gem in the small town of Antigonish, easily as good as a top restaurant in a larger centre.
The dinner menu is expensive for Antigonish, but comparable for a restaurant of this quality in a large city. The lunch menu is relatively inexpensive. I have always found the service good. -

Been here three times now and increasingly disappointed. Last time I had an overcooked piece of halibut on risotto with, supposedly lobster and chantarelle sauce, but the flavours were not there. Also my servers spent most of the night chatting behind a door a foot away from me.

We stopped here for lunch on the way from Halifax to Cape Breton island. It was a nice spot - less fancy than I expected based on other reviews, and therefore just right for two adults and a six year old. (They have a kids menu.) I had a salad which was just what I wanted after days on the road and too much fried food. Husband had the fried haddock platter and pronounced it terrific.
