Heron - Wine Bar at Moulin Wakefield Mill Hotel and Spa

Tonite my wife and I stopped in for Date nite. The food was outstanding and worth every pennie! We had the 4 item charcuterie and the 7 oz prime rib via the brutcher block menu..best so far in the NCR area!,,

With some mixed reviews, I wasn’t expecting too much but have to come here to say we were very satisfied with everything! The ambiance, the service, the food and drinks, all was great! The Mill salad was a big size to share and was delicious. The fish and chips were great and the gnocchi was so flavourful! We really enjoyed our slow paced relaxed dinner. Recommend!

Great location and good service! Pasta and eggs Benedict were amazing!! The salad with the grilled chicken tasted like fish and the French toast had too much ginger. The cake was a waste of money too.

For a constructive purpose, I will make a sincere comment in the hope that it can lead to changes and bring us back. We are dissatisfied with our experience in general :( We were very disappointed, even insulted, by the quality of the food which was definitely not proportional to the price paid. We first ordered a soup as a starter. In the menu, it was mentioned that it was accompanied by grilled foccaccia, but we were served almost burnt slices of grilled white bread... Subsequently, we opted for the day's catch (which turned out to be cod) which had no taste (despite the little shellfish broth accompanying it) and which was in a very small portion for the price. We then opted for the dessert (the chocolate one) which was in the same vein as the previous services, very disappointing for the sum of $18 (very dry cake) is what we preferred of the meal.... The service was not exceptional and was very long for a bit. We didn't come back often to make sure everything was going well or to refill our water glasses. The atmosphere was however pleasant with a musician to enhance the evening, luckily, because our experience would have been even less good!

Too bad, the employees don't all speak French.
We were never asked if our meal was okay.
We had to wait several minutes to get our cocktails, despite the lack of traffic.

Service was terrible - it took 17 minutes from the time we sat down to the waiter filling our water glasses (and the restaurant was not that busy). Waited at least 10 minutes for our drinks, and over 25 minutes for our food which was cold. I had asked for my burger well done and the waitress mixed up the plates and gave me one that was pink in the middle. The views are nice but it’s way overpriced for the quality of food and the service you get. Very disappointed.

My wife and I stayed at the Wakefield Mill for her birthday recently. Food and drinks at the Heron bar was delicious. Thank you.

Location is nice, great view. The only stars are for that. Ordered fish and chips. Quality of food is deceiving, not tasty, fries were cold, cake was dry & service was mediocre, not to say absent except for the water guy, he was on point. The waitress wasn’t friendly. I do not recommend.

We arrived without a reservation on a very busy Friday afternoon. The manager greeted us as we came in and let us know there would be a bit of a wait for a table. We enjoyed seasonal cocktails at the bar while we waited for a table to become available. The caramel apple martini and cranberry margaritas were delightful. Once we were seated in the dining area we ordered lunch. Both the food and the service were impeccable! Thank you to all of the staff who made our visit a memorable one and our compliments to the chef.

Excellent service and food! Definitely recommend! Although short staffed, everything ran seamlessly. The Manager stepped in and helped. Impressed!

Its just the location, other than that, complete waste of money! Over price and less than mediocre food and drinks. Order Gnocchi we got it literally 2 minutes later, the waiter said, never had it prepared this fast, it was cold and had a hair in it, seems like it was someone elses order that they gave to us. Waiter was nice and immediately took it away after I made a note of it. Got the second plate 5 minutes later, it was warmer but tasted less than average. Ordered an 18 dollar chocolate cake that was cold and dry like out of the freezer, barely has any taste to it. I told the waiter about it and he said it is what it is. Never coming back again! Really disappointed with the place.

The food was delicious! It was also timely and came out at the same time (for 7 people).The servers were top notch. Warm& friendly, professional and accommodating.The location of the restaurant can't be beat. Scenic and authentic.

Had the butcher's block for lunch, was some kind of bird that day. Kind of hard to eat and was still nippy afterwards but the flavour was great. Also followed up with a tarte tatin for dessert. It was deconstructed in IMHO a bit of a pretentious way, and think it would've been better off sticking to it's classic form. Still demolished it though, caramel is yummy. Also beautiful view of the water.

Disappointing - made a reservation one week in advance, confirmed the endless reminders on our phone, arrived at time (not late) of reservation to discover that our place had been given to walk-ins. Told to sit at bar and wait; wine we ordered was not delivered. Give this place a miss. No one seemed to care or came to apologize. Pretentious, expensive, over-rated. Many other better restaurants in town.
