    Main entrance.

    May 17/2024: Dinner with Keith & Nancy. This place has been here in one iteration or another for many years. It's real old school for a restaurant. I started with a Caesar Salad ($15.00). Very tasty with locally sourced pork as bacon bits. It was tasty & garlicy just the way I like it. My main was the Rotini Gorgonzola with beef tips ($27.00). Again, very tasty, a little light on the beef tips but overly heavy on the salt content. Our server "Sarah" had a great sense of humour & provided a decent level of service. I think this is a do over.

    On our anniversary trip we had a wonderful experience here. We did a bit of research before crossing the border and so glad that we did. This restaurant was perfect for our night of celebration. She enjoyed the rotini (not pictured), and I had the rack of lamb. We were both very pleased with the meal and the attention of the staff. We highly recommend this establishment for a date night or gathering of friends.

    Held a group work meeting there and had a great time in a private room. The food choices were wide selection and the wine list was adequate with some good value selections. The appearance from outside makes you question but once inside I liked the historic feel. Not until I needed a restroom break did I feel like I needed to explore and once I did wow. There is an actual mill here! Check out the photo. I highly recommend this restaurant. The service was friendly and attentive without being rushed. Make reservations though. It is a bit isolated and back up options might be a drive away.

    This place was so close to having a 5* review from me. Located in the heart of Aberfoyle in Puslinch, this mill is an affordable option for fine dining with cozy country charm just as they market it. Rather dim lighting throughout the restaurant as early as 5:30 p.m. First off, we chose sautéed shrimp with olive oil, parsley, garlic, and baguette. The shrimps were perfectly done and the toppings all complimented well it. I really like how it was simply not shrimps alone and almost like a light meal in itself. The prime rib is their usual weekend evening feature and it is apparently limited and by 6:30 p.m. today, they already ran out of it. It was overall well done and the parsley and asparagus further added to the taste. Instead of rice, they had a sizeable portion of mash potato that was not creamy or chunky, but rather smooth. My Atlantic char was rather moist and again the parsley and asparagus were both a lovely addition to my entree. The rice was lean and drier than what I am used to, so hopefully that only means less carbs. The yellow peppercorn sauce added more colours to the plating and presentation rather than actual taste though. Definitely a meal with good value. However, as it is in a smaller town, I do not think that the manager/owner is very friendly or hospitable to people outside of the town or non-Caucasians as every other diner besides us were white. The manager/owner regularly circulated around the restaurant making small talk to almost every guest, but us. Twice, he spent several minutes at every table that was in the same dining room as my beau and I, but he only came to our table once to ask us if everything else was ok at the very end of our dinner. Coincidence, I think not. If he bothered to catch up with the locals and everyone else then it would be nice (and obviously within his means) to be greeted with more than just "Hope you enjoyed your dinner." This subtle difference is enough for me to enjoy this dinner, because of the quality food, but not come back another time. Our server was an older gentleman and although he had adequate service for a fine dining place, he would rather attend to other tables before ours even though we were seated right next to the back kitchen and service area... once or twice is fine, but he did it again at the bill and this along with the manager's subtle difference in friendliness towards us makes us think that they see us as second rate, compared to regulars or local Caucasians. By no means were they rude, but that is what we felt. So overall great place for local Caucasians. You get an additional personal catching up and/or welcome from the manager/owner, too! ;) I rather go back to Bellefountaine Inn for their dinner though if I am ever back west in this area. They had great tasting food AND they made us feel welcomed and like VIPs, too! For a $100 meal for two, they should really have treated us like honoured guests even if we are obviously not locals or regulars.

    All dishes are very tasty and freshly house made! The salmon is well cooked with mixed veggies. The flourless chocolate cake is delicious and we shared one slice. All tables are fully booked for new year celebrations so we will come back sometime next year!

    Brunch.  Roast beef, mashed potatoes, Grilled Brussel sprouts, eggs bennedict, and maple glazed salmon.

    What a nice place for a family brunch to celebrate a birthday. The food was spectacular, the view is relaxing, and the service was top notch. I cant say enough good things about this place. Everyone enjoyed the menu from Maple Salmon to Eggs Benedict, fresh fruit, lamb, prime rib, veggies, pasta, omelets to order, and the list goes on.

    I have been to this restaurant a few times in the past and haven't had the opportunity to write a review until now. This one is a catch up review. This restaurant is located in Guelph near Brock Road and love its décor accented heavily with wood coupled with exceptional service. All my visits have been during late afternoon lunches and all of them have been business related. My favorite dish is the Almond Crusted Salmon. The portions of the food here are huge and so was this dish. The crust was near crispy and the salmon soft and delicious. This restaurant has several other signature dishes that are raved by the locals and they are right. The service is courteous and prompt. I seldom miss a visit to this restaurant when I am in the Guelph, Ontario area.

    Highly recommend the salmon, best I've ever had.

The place was a little…read moretoo warm and I extremely disliked the sticky tables (it wasn't dirty, but an unfortunate table top finish issue). We ordered quite a bit of food. The appetizers (calamari, mozza sticks, and wings) were great! Very solid choices although personally the wings (medium) were a little too sweet for us. Service was ok but the waitress did seem a bit stressed. The mains, however, were a bit disappointing. The burgers were just ok, my halloumi in the halloumi salad was burnt (although the salad itself was great), and the children's cheese sandwich was also burnt. The fish & chips were very oily. Usually I really want to like and rate local establishments well as I am a local myself, but burnt food is a no-no and unfortunately with kids I don't really have the time to ask for a remake. Great vibes for a good beer though.

The menu is as usual on the high end, the specials are available they have a $55 prime rib the fish option available. I guess it's a special in this economy, but I do miss the $38 Sunday prime rib special. So this location was a former gem now it's just on the high end- service is slow too. I may revisit with clients but it's not a place I want to visit with family- it's just a bit high end slow service. We were celebrating two bdays, they didn't have the cheesecake anymore it's one of those from frozen lava cake with ice cream, whip cream and a sparkler- but thanks guys. There seems to be some lunch deals with taco to attract the lunch walk ins- but that's also a low traffic time. I guess they're trying to be creative with their marketing.

It was too spicy for me, but I could definitely appreciate it. Kind of like a quality shrimp cocktail sauce drink? Weird but good. Mostly salty/savory! Calm Collins: I'm not sure if I felt calm or not after this, but I enjoyed the drink nonetheless. Kind of like an arnold palmer, not too sweet or tangy. On the Wagon: Tastes just as described, though I think this one had dried lemon instead of candied ginger. A nice sipper, especially if you enjoy ginger drinks. 3 Sisters Salad: I love a Mendocino Farms Quinoa Kale salad (which I would order over most delicious junk food options), but this is likely my second favorite salad. The dressing is light and flavorful, slightly sweet, ever so slightly tangy. The puffed wild rice provided an excellent texture, very similar to crunchy quinoa. The chickpeas and corn added a savory and sweet mildly chewy texture. We added the trout and it was excellent on its own. Crispy skin, perfectly cooked and salted. Pan Roasted Chicken: I was surprised there was only one bone in this! The meat was tender and juicy, well cooked. I can't remember exactly how it tasted because we scarfed it down so fast, but trust that it was good. Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie: You can't have a meal without dessert. The pie filling is similar to halva - sweet, soft, light and fine. Great to share between two, but would also be excellent for one...
