| - I live near the Queen and Coxwell area and have walked/driven by The Ceili Cottage several times and was attracted by the patio and what seemed like a majority of locals having a good time, especially when the sun is out.
Food (4/5): The chalkboard annouces the soup of the day and 2 specials (daily roast + catch of the day). There is a daily roast item, Friday was steak night. I ordered and shared kettle chips, a half-dozen Maritime oysters, the cheese plate, the mac & cheese, and a salad. Given the reputation of the owner, you will be happy to learn that the oysters were the highlight. They come with 3 delicious sauces: one is chopped shallots marinated in a sparkling wine, another a very hot hot sauce (even hot by ethnic standards), and a nice cocktail sauce - all home made. The mac & cheese was very good. Must be a popular item since everyone at the table next to us ordered it (3 ppl). The menu is simple and fits with the casual feel of Ceili Cottage.
Drinks (5/5): They had my favorite beer - the McAuslan Apricot Wheat Ale on tap. Had 10 different beers on tap with a good variety of local brews, seasonal varieties, and major brands. Good selection of wine and whiskey as well. Pints were reasonable at $6-7. For the serious drinkers, there was even a Cask Ale.
Ambiance (4/5): The patio seats about 60 people. Mixed crowd, with more locals I would say. The patio is a good size, so it's not super loud even though all seats were taken. Only problem is that there seems to be a fair bit of smokers on the patio at any given time, so if that bothers you then there's not much you can do... you can't feel too annoyed b/c the patrons here are quite polite, one smoker even asked if we minded before he puffed away. The inside had a cottage feel, but I think the patio is the better of the 2 spots to be.
Service (4/5): We came around 630pm on a beautiful Friday and managed to get one of the last tables for 2. I don't think reservations are taken so it's nice to know that you don't have to show up at 430pm to get a seat here. Service was friendly and no fuss. Just the right amount of trips to our table and we were not rushed.
Value (4/5): with 2 pints of beer each and 4-5 menu items to share, all inclusive total was $80. We were stuffed, had enough to drink, and enjoyed the night.
Definitely a place that I would visit again, but next time I will order more oysters and less of the other food.
