    Would definitely recommend the weekend brunch if you haven’t been — but make sure to reserve ahead so that you’re seated in the air conditioned window -side section. Not the first time I’ve been but I do feel like I remember my previous visit as having a better/wider selection of pastries and desserts. Hot food was the same and amazing - definitely recommend the French toast, their tasty bacon and the brisket. The eggs Benedict for me this time didn’t hit the greatest, was underdone to my liking but flavour-wise was incredible so I’m sure others really enjoyed. Except for a few items the cold options were largely cured meats and cheeses. While I filled my plate anyone not eating dairy or being lactose intolerant would not have much option. The grilled veggie toasts with goat cheese and balsamic were the bomb and I went back for another. Dessert choices were small but likely enough to suit anyone. Was disappointed that the $40 buffet did not include a cup of coffee and this wasn’t actually made known to us when offered otherwise I would have likely stuck with the water and juices available at the buffet. Still a very quaint place for brunch in cottage country and a beautiful property to visit

    Great flavours, good value and timely service. The added touch of live music on the patio added to the enjoyment for the evening.

    Patio - Wobbly table, umbrella moves, no way to request a table in the shade. We requested to move into a spot with shade but were told it was reserved, of course no one sat there the total time we were there…when we pressed him he BSed us by saying it was reserved and informed up all tables were numbers and you had to ask to have them reserved. Called in days after and Jeremy says they don’t reserve…what the ?? New menu…three new items! Wow! Food- forgettable, brisket dry, fish ( a ridiculous small piece) for what you pay. Huge disappointment…this place used to be a place we raved to everyone about…there are much better places out there

    Fabulous food (especially the smoked brisket-to DIE for!). Also a lovely patio and excellent service. Server and barkeep Adrienne made delicious mocktail versions of their signature drinks for us. Do try the Strawberry Basil smash or the Mule, with or without alcohol. I wish I had taken some photos! Next time ... Chef Couillard was so generous with his time chatting with us and showing us around. Thank you Chef and owner Adam Brown for a wonderful lunch with family. Highly recommend! We'll be back for more.

    Not worth the money. Vegetables were cold. There was no sauce on ribs and no sauce offered on the side. The fruit drink was awful. The potatoes were not mashed well. There was no bacon bar as advertised. The cold salads were not good.

    First time ever visit for the Fathers Day buffet. We had a lovely time. All the waitresses were super friendly and helpful. Ambiance was warm and welcoming. I found the buffet could have benefited having a fruit assortment, other than that it was great. We feasted on the bbq meats and smoked brisket. Overall great experience!
