Ordered the beet and goat cheese salad and added chicken. Very little amount of beets in the salad. Wish I hadn't added the chicken because it was very dry.

We had to cancel earlier in the day but around 4pm realized we could make it...our table was taken when I called back...we were offered a place at the bar and if there was cancellation we would get that table...we just walked in and the hostess said with a big smile that we have a table for you... Thank-you so much...Donna Salidas

The blackened beef tenderloin was wonderful. Pleasantly surprised how perfectly cooked it was seeing as I never specified wellness and wasn’t sure how upscale it would be as a ‘bowl’ dish but wow so good. I’ve also had the beet salad and chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. I would order all of them again. For drinks I would recommend babes on babes or hot mess.

I chose this restaurant because it was beside the theatre we were attending later that evening. However, I was quite pleased with my choice. The service was excellent and the food arrived in a timely manner. My menu change was met with a smile and our waitress, once we finished eating, quietly mentioned the time and brought us the bill so we weren't late for the theatre.

Salmon cooked perfect. Service was friendly but slow just from a fellow service worker POV. Bartenders again were friendly and smiled. Great place to grab a drink and a varied menu. Would return.

Wonderful place! The food was delicious. We had the quinoa onion rings, perfectly crunchy and tasty. The ahi crunch salad was amazing. Ahi was perfect, and the dressing was the right amount of sweet and savory. Rivers Run Brewery selections were very good as well. They had a great selection of cocktails that we look forward to trying next time! Staff was wonderful, cheerful, quick and friendly.

A nice restaurant in Sarnia with a variety of food options and a great cocktail menu. Highly recommend sitting in the back patio if there's good weather. I had the T.F.C Chicken Sandwich with a Cherry Champagne's cocktail. Both were very delicious! Service was very friendly and helpful. It is also centrally located on the main strip and very close to the waterfront trail to catch the sunset if the timing is right.

Ordered the nachos which all 4 of us agreed were the WORST nachos we'veever had. it was not nachos, but a flat cheese pancake. We sent back the barely touched nachos and they told us we had to pay for it, but gave us 75% discount on the nachos. . Its the Principle thst we had to psy for an appitizer they agreed was not nachos. Not a good experience.
We were happy to have had the best server- the best food and the most beautiful unique atmosphere yesterday for lunch! We live in California but if we are back this way ever again- you can count on us to return! 💙
My boyfriend and I came yesterday evening. They were full outside but told us to just sit at the bar and when a spot opened up they would let us know. No problem! We sat at the bar and were completely ignored. Not a single staff member acknowledged us—not even a hello or a “we’ll be right with you.” We sat there and kept trying to make contact with the bartender (who yes was busy making drinks, but also took a minute break to talk to another server without still even talking to us who were sitting directly in front of her) MY boyfriend even asked for a menu and she acted like she didnt hear us. It was uncomfortable and honestly just rude. I ended up leaving without ever being served.

My wife and I were in Sarnia on June 28th to have lunch with my brother, cousin and her husband who were visiting from the Netherlands. We searched for places to eat in Sarnia and came across the the Tin Fiddler. I was intrigued by the name and noted that the menu was not overwhelming which I prefer. Upon arrival, I was impressed with eclectic decor of the main area of the restaurant along with the spaciousness of it. I learned that there was an outdoor space and we explored this option. Once outside, there was a relaxing atmosphere that included picnic tables, tables to seat two, four or larger parties and a very good music library. If you require limited exposure to sunlight, there are tables with large umbrellas to accommodate this. I ordered the steak sandwich and it was simply delicious, the ribeye was cooked perfectly, well seasoned and one of the best steak sandwiches that I have had. Our server Brett was very personable and accommodating and was more than happy to assist with any questions that we had in relation to the menu. The overall vibe of the Tin Fiddler made this a very memorable experience. If you find yourself in Sarnia and looking for an alternative to the mainstream eateries, take a drive to the Tin Fiddler, you will not be disappointed.

Delicious food, warm service, and immaculate vibes. ✨ We're visiting from Toronto and this was such an enjoyable meal! The crab cakes were tasty, and all our entrees were incredible as well. I had the Honey Soy Salmon, the salmon was so tender and the seasoning was exquisitely done. A lovely spot, and kudos to the kitchen and service staff. 💕

We've to Tin Fiddle in the past and had good meals. Last night we decided to try some appetizers. The cab cakes and the Mac & cheese were both deep fried with a heavy crust on both. Good to stick with the entrees!
