Awesome meal, atmosphere, service last night. The elk burger was in the top 3 burgers I have had in my life (it may even be #1, still debating). The atmosphere of the restaurant was awesome and had a canadian cottage feel, very welcome when getting away from Toronto. Had never even heard of pineapple pie until it was mentioned by our server. Curiosity led to ordering it and it was incredible. Would go back.

Wait service was crap! Food was excellent! Expensive for what you get No water offered, nor bread, nor salad with meal Surf n turf is steak with 2 scallop & veggies Took an hour for our bill to come after requesting it That's NOT fine Dining!! Will not go back
Regarding your reply to this review... no need to be upset, we told the truth I did not say I had a wonderful time by the way If you would like more truth... my Husband's steak was over cooked, your 2 brands of Kraft beer's are not very good Had no other option except for spirits The dessert that took an hour to make, I might add, we did not want nor care for but thank you very much Over priced for what we got especially for a restaurant (not fine dining) out in the boonies The 4 of us were Not impressed but treated the staff with kindness as one should Your website is misleading as far as fine Dining is concerned The food was good Not impressed with the service True story PERIOD

Our group of friends from Ottawa and Montreal attended the Enchanted Forest event last night. Wow! Incredible. Perfectly decorated and amazing atmosphere. Staff were top shelf. Food was out of this world. We are already planning our next visit!

We attended a large family gathering on the patio at On The Rocks on a beautiful, late September, Friday afternoon. We were treated to friendly, efficient service and a variety of interesting and delicious appetizers. The atmosphere is amazing. We all would highly recommend this spot to anyone interested in an enjoyable experience.

The place looked amazing and the food looked and smelled wonderful, wish we could have stayed and tried it , unfortunately this place is not baby / toddler friendly, no high chairs or baby seats available
Had a tour of this hidden gem of a venue before the long weekend. Best patio view in the ottawa valley?
I really enjoyed meeting Gunnar and know there is a lot of heart, skill and good food and drink here.

Celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at the restaurant. They warmly greeted our 45 guests with amazing food, drinks and service. They went beyond expectations. Wouldn't hesitate to return for regular or special occasion. Thank you Roger and Danielle.

On the shores of Lake Calabogie, On the Rocks Restaurant at Calabogie Lodge is a true hidden gem. The menu showcases impeccable dishes with a focus on local, seasonal ingredients.
We began with a chef’s pairing — two tasting plates matched perfectly with VQA wines by sommelier Holly — a fantastic touch. For the main, Lake Erie pickerel underscored the restaurant’s commitment to Canadian-sourced foods. Each dish was beautifully presented and flawlessly executed, with Holly’s wine selections elevating the experience even further.
Service was outstanding, and watching the sun set over Lake Calabogie made the evening unforgettable. A definite highlight of our trip.

Regarding your reply to this review... no need to be upset, we told the truth
I did not say I had a wonderful time by the way
If you would like more truth... my Husband's steak was over cooked, your 2 brands of Kraft beer's are not very good
Had no other option except for spirits
The dessert that took an hour to make, I might add, we did not want nor care for but thank you very much
Over priced for what we got especially for a restaurant (not fine dining) out in the boonies
The 4 of us were Not impressed but treated the staff with kindness as one should
Your website is misleading as far as fine Dining is concerned

Not impressed with the service
