“ We sat on an excellent patio the day before Mother’s Day and it was busy. We had a bottle of wine and the warm olives and whipped ricotta as appetizers for lunch. Both were awesome and the server was too. I highly recommend and would return in a minute. ”
“ French onion soup tastes amazing. The petty in burger is juicy and crunchy outside, smoked bacon enrich the flavor. The service here is good, please enjoy your meal here if you visit elora. ”
“ We went here for lunch one day. The restaurant is quite small inside but has a good sized patio. The atmosphere is relaxing and the interior is pretty. The staff was all very nice and helpful. The food is absolutely delicious. I had the French onion soup, mussels, creme brule and cosmopolitan drink. I highly recommend all of these dishes. The soup wasn't very big but ended up being the perfect amount. The mussels are a very good value as you get a pound of them. They are cooked in a delicate wine sauce and aren't overcooked. The fries they come with are delicious with their garlic aioli. The creme brule was the best I've ever had anywhere. The drink was perfectly mixed. The prices are pretty aligned to other restaurants in Elora. I think the quality of the food is really good and you get what you pay for in that regard. If you're looking for gigantic portions, go to a buffet. We loved it and had a really great dining experience from start to finish. We'll come back here again. A ”

“ My mother and I came for a lunch date together and happened to stumble on this new (to us) place in Elora! Such a beautiful set up! Warm atmosphere and great service from Avery, she was wonderfully pleasant and took great care with our order as I have some food allergies, and was sure to inform us she double checked with kitchen on the ingredients and was safe, the food was unbelievably well done! We started with their soup of the day which was a potato pancetta and leak served with a side of warm baguette, it was very flavourful and good sized portions, for our mains we had the beef bourguignon such an incredible plate the salad was fresh and crisp with an amazing maple vinaigrette it tied together so nicely with fresh greens. And the dessert was also out of this world it is rare to find such a properly well done cheese cake, so creamy but not too heavy and fresh fruit which adds just the right amount of sweetness! We got extra to bring home to our husbands! Over all amazing experience highly recommend for anyone wanting to try something new! We will be coming back for sure! Thank you again! ”

Excellent and dedicated staff, decor is well thought out, food smells, looks, and tastes delicious! Very well priced as well. ”
