We visited this restaurant as our first brunch stop and were mainly drawn by the stunning lake view--it's definitely the highlight of the place. The food, however, was a bit inconsistent.
We ordered the Sirloin Burger, Shrimp Linguini, Mussels, and Prime Rib Wrap.
Among these, the Shrimp Linguini stood out as the best dish of the meal. On the other hand, the Sirloin Burger was quite disappointing as the meat turned out dry. We also tried the soup, but it was an apple cinnamon flavor, which tasted more like it belonged in a dessert rather than a starter, so we wouldn't order that again. The mussels were skippable, and the Prime Rib Wrap was just okay.
This spot seems to be quite popular on weekends, as we had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table and around 40 minutes for the food.
Overall, it's worth visiting for the beautiful lake view, price is very reasonable but the food is hit or miss and service punctuality could use improvement.

Don’t waste your time here. They’ll ignore you and make you wait outside for absolutely no reason.

Took a detour on our way home from a trip to London. Seated on the patio next to the water, the food was great. I had the linguini (with chicken instead of the shrimp) and my husband had the schnitzel. The view of the water was very nice, the food was very tasty and the service was very good. It was a pleasant place to eat. We will go again!

Must visit if you’re around the area. Lauren was such a sweetheart for serving us. Mussels, Calamari and steak are totally worth a try.

Great little spot on the river. Perhaps the best mussels in a white sauce that I have ever had. Not sure of other dishes, but that was great.

We came here on a busy but beautiful early evening after enjoying the lazy river at Elora Rapids. Even with the rush, the owner/manager was able to get us a table, which we really appreciated.
Our server, Emily, was fantastic. We have three kids who are used to dining out, but sometimes servers make assumptions that can make the experience less enjoyable. Emily was the opposite—she was warm, attentive, and interacted so positively with our kids, especially our daughter, that it really elevated the whole experience for our family.
As for the food, everything was excellent, but the asparagus spinach salad and the NY striploin exceeded our expectations. Both were delicious and memorable.
Highly recommend—great food, wonderful service, and a welcoming atmosphere!
Dog friendly patio. Busy on Sunday of the long weekend. Good food and great view of the river.

Our experience was 10/10! The shrimp linguine was exceptional, along with the steak. We had mussels in curry sauce to start and they were amazing! We will definitely be back! Very nice staff and environment, can tell they care about what they do :)

Stopped here for lunch on the weekend and managed to get a seat on patio. Very popular place, if you want the patio, recommend you reserve.
I judge a pub on its fish and chips and this place did not disappoint. Nice big piece of fish, golden brown but the batter was light and crispy while the fish was flaky and moist. Generous portion of tartar sauce, good Cole Slaw and fries that were perfectly done and not occupying most of the place. My wife had the quinoa burger which was excellent as well, not served to mimic a burger but a good veggie sandwich on it own merit.
Special shout out to all the servers there who were working hard in such a busy place while maintaining a cheerful manner.

Spent a lovely afternoon on their riverside patio. It was a very hot afternoon! 33C. But we had a comfortable lunch with the gentle breezes & the patio umbrella. Delicious mussels with a choice of 3 sauces. My friend enjoyed her gigantic vegetarian salad. Perfect spot for a delicious lunch or dinner.
