Such an amazing find! A beautiful restaurant with a calming vibe, lovely staff and the best food. The menu is so thoughtfully designed with choices for everyone - meat, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Each dish is distinct and executed beautifully. Highly recommended!

Have been to this restaurant many times with my family, but I will not be going back and don’t recommend this place to anyone going forward. I have never been talked to more rudely than when the owners son came to our table to yell at us and roll his eyes when we asked to get a take out container for our son’s food. I would be very disappointed if I was the owner and this is how my son was treating guests.

What a fantastic lunch!!The menu is very diverse and the food was sooooo delicious. Four different dishes at the table and everyone was more than satisfied.I would also be remiss if I didn't mention our most awesome server, Ev. What a breath of fresh air this woman was. This woman should be training staff everywhere on how to give too-notch customer service. She was really a joy and just made our experience! High fives on a perfect luncheon ??

A small pub with a very small menu. The first 20 minutes was great. Drinks came quickly and so did the spicy calamari, which was delicious!. Then we waited and waited 45 minutes for 1 burger, 1 fries and a small salad. And when it finally arrived the burger was lukewarm and dry, the salad was a mess of field greens stuffed in to a tiny size bowl with everything else on the bottom! But the fries were great! Overall a very average experience all 'round.

Although I have never dined in the restaurant but whenever I have taken takeouts, their service and food has been nothing but a treat. With vegan and vegetarian options and fair prices for everything. The owner and staff are very

The mussels were juicy and came with a fantastic sauce. On the other hand, the pasta was pretty plain for the price, and I was disappointed that the poutine didn't have curds, rather what tasted like cheap mozzarella. Service was fantastic, both eat in and take out

Four of us went there last night. So disappointed. The serving of sal.on was so small with very few vegetables. How about adding rice? 2 of us got the chicken sandwich. It was overcooked and the sauce was cold. My Dad did enjoy his wings.
Overall disappointed with lunch. The server was very nice, but service was extremely slow. Seemed to be a kitchen issue. We sat near a window and it was really chilly! The food looked nice but was disappointing. Minestrone soup was luke warm, over salted and didn't taste like minestrone. No herbs or pasta, no parm and very few beans. The seasonal salad was interesting. Great components but they didn't marry well. Plus it was missing it's dressing so there was nothing tying it together. But the salad's biggest problem was the small bowl it was served in. Looked great, but it was overflowing and very difficult to eat without pieces falling on the table.

Recently we had a Celebration of Life for my mom at the Oar. It was a difficult day for us but Robbie and the staff were amazing at helping us through the day. The food selection and variety was outstanding. It was exactly what needed for my mom. Great food and an authentic Muskoka atmosphere.

The place is very cosy. Good variety of food options. I suggest the oar burger, very juicy. There is also a good variety of drinks that you can choose from. Overall we had a great experience. We had stop there for late lunch after a small hike nearby. I recommend. Also the waitresses are great and the service is fast.

Lovely, cottage-y kinda place. The risotto was okay, it's different. The cheesesteak sandwich was on the dry side. Love the calamari! Wings and mussels are good ?? The mocktails are also really good ❤️
