Had a great dining experience here trying out the latest menu change. All the veggie dishes were great, really loved the Andalusian Potatoes, the Beets and Carrots were tasty, the asparagus was nice. I am happy when restaurants put some love into their vegetables. Entree of Vodka sauce pasta was very flavorful but the sauce was too thick for my preference. Overall great service, tasty food. I will be back.
Would also appreciate some basic ingredients after the name of the dishes as there is no descriptions on the menu.
Thanks Brixton 🙏

We went with a large group so he had the opportunity to try a few of the dishes.
The beef was fantastic, gnocchi was very good, made with a brown butter sauce. The scallops were cooked perfectly and delicious.
Save some room for the dessert, the cheese cake was light and delicious.

Great spot downtown Glace Bay!

My sister and I went out for dinner to a place I have been wanting to visit on many trips home but haven’t yet. It is the Brixton and it sits in the heart of Glace Bay. It is fine dining at its best with a down home feel. They have a Cordon Blue Chef and it’s pretty obvious from the bread plate to the finish. The dishes were amazing. The cocktails were so nice to look at and even better to taste. They served a bread with a lime infused butter with some heat and it was sooo delicious. The hot honey naan bread with the Taziki was incredibly garlicky and flavourful. The scallops were seared perfectly and every bit of sauce on the plate complemented them well. The burger that my sister had she said was charred yet tender and juicy with every bite, and it was the quality of the beef that stood out more than anything. I had seared salmon. It melted in my mouth. Perfectly cooked, and everything was seasoned as it should be. Food is locally sourced. There were many people in there tonight all with reservations. Nice to see this place thrive! The wines paired very well with the meal and it’s definitely a five star experience and well worth the money. The service was top notch. Loved the atmosphere. Highly recommend!!!
And to top it all off, we walked there and back 2.7 km each way… calories be gone!!! ?

Great

The food is the best in Cape Breton. It can get slammed (busy) when an event is on at the Savoy (across the street), so check on that. Food is fabulous.

Highly recommend this spot if visiting Cape Breton. The warm atmosphere, live outdoor music (summer), and amazing food are well worth a stop for any traveller. Have been craving the food and cocktails since. May need to plan another trip just to eat here! So yummy.

I went here a couple of weeks ago and can say that hands down this was THE best spinach and artichoke dip I have ever had. And, from someone who has tasted great Cacio e Pepe in Rome, they did a damn good job on theirs! Loved the added touch of tiny bits of red onion in it.

Possibly the worst dining experience we have ever had. We were very interested in trying a locally owned spot but will actively discourage anyone we know from eating there. Can’t say anything good. So many aspects of the evening were terrible hard to know where to start . At one point we as customers were blamed for the problems which were numerous because we ordered appetizers. The waitress complained about us as customers to another table while my husband was trying to pay for our not existent meal. We do not feel it is unreasonable to book reservations 2 hrs before we needed to leave the restaurant and expect food before we had to leave. There are many details I could elaborate on but it appears customer service is not a priority . Could not post review without picking what we tried to order

Chef inspired 48 seat restaurant and didn't disappoint, decor to atmosphere was perfect, scallops were seared perfectly and all the dishes were so flavorful and presentable. Sheri was great and personable. Hard to find a spot like this in Sydney or Glace bay but 10/10 thank you Brixton.
