I really do think the charm of Ceili Cottage is in the people and atmosphere. I've written up on <a href="http://www.foodpr0n.com/2009/12/29/ceili-cottage-toronto/" rel="nofollow">some of the other meals I've had there recently</a>, and again - solid food. While I didn't love the macaroni, it wasn't dry for me. The mutton stew that I had recently was actually pretty good. I didn't get giant chunks of gristle or anything like that, so I've had much better experiences than yours. I'd give it another shot you were in the area, but I'm not sure you'd find it worthwhile if you went out of your way for it. Try the creamy tomato double-smoked bacon soup if it's on the specials menu. I quite enjoyed it, though it was salty.

I was there this past summer, and will probably never go back. Four of us went, and the food was awful, ranging from dried-out macaroni and cheese to fatty mutton I would never serve to any guest.
