Back at Ted's in a group of 4 for a return weekend to meet up with friends. I understand that Ted…read morehas had some health issues and is no longer cooking. And that his daughter, Nicole, is also no longer working there. The prices have increased since the last time I was here, but this is understandable given what is happening. Unfortunately the food did not meet the expectations and increased food prices. We ordered the calamari as a shared appetizer. It was tasteless. I opted for the chicken Parmesan and a caesar salad. There was nothing redeeming in the chicken Parmesan...it was so bland. And probably the worst caesar salad I have ever had...soggy crouton and store bought dressing...so bad. I have no plans to return to Ted's.

I ENJOYED TED'S RANGE ROAD DINER! At first my bf was sketched at the exterior metal trailer…read moreesthetic and interior wobbly tables & chairs with a slanted wooden slate roof...but I saw it as a downright country fun diner experience. There were even apple trees in front of their front patio! So cute! Our waiter was friendly and gave SOLID recommendations since it was her dad who started this restaurant. Seems like he likes to experiment lots with flavours and game meats. Here's a summary of the food we ordered: -GET the bison strip loin & mushroom cap appetizer. So savoury and surprisingly well plated. -SKIP the blackened trout. This was a friend's recommendation that fell short for me, the char and smoky seasoning wasn't tasty and the fruit 'chutney' that came with it didn't mesh with the flavours at all Next time we come by, I really want to make it for one of their live music performance night and try their Boar chop & seafood bake!

Came here for lunch and got the Phyllo baked Brie and Shaved Beef. The service was quick and the…read morestaff was nice. 1) Phyllo Baked Brie I like brie so I chose this one. I didn't expect the portion size to be generous (I struggled to finish it a little) but it was on the pricey side so it shouldn't be a surprise. Overall, the meal was quite nice and I enjoyed it although I did find the berries to be a bit too much. 2) Shaved Beef This was recommended by other reviews so we decided to try it as well. I think it was just okay and regular. This is a nice and cosy restaurant and I originally wanted to come for their brunch.

Also, Don't skip the scone for the drive home!

Apparently there are line ups down the street during the summer so plan accordingly! We enjoyed our dinner dishes! The seafood bouillabaisse had a tasty broth and the burger was juicy. We had a beer and wine, and all in it was $125. I think this is a local spot as well, as the place was filling up as the evening went on. Music was a good volume so you could have a good easy conversation. It was also nice to see local students working here part time.

The fish was average I really like the side summer slaw salad. We also shared the crab cake appetizer and I found that a bit fishy. I wouldn't order that again.

Okkkkie dokie Came…read morehere for a family reunion invitation. My elders suggested the place. Mind was thinking hmmm will it be a good place? Drove up with the family to join the shin dig. The place is nestled along the coast associated with a marina. The complex the restaurant is housed in reminds me of an assisted living vibe that was repurposed as a family resort. Kinda like if you added some water slides and pools to the side of an ol folks home. We walk in, wife and kids begin chirping about how the restaurant looks ok but is giving off some retirement home, but! The patrons are mostly family. We are seated at the back of a nice room , however our back wall adorns a large lcd screen emblazoned with a digital beach scene. My back is to it, so it doesn't bother me too much. Now that ive set your expectations to "questonable"we get to the food. Wife and i not expecting much. We go with the recommendation from my parents to try the tomahawk steak- for four people, kids ordered salmon rice veges, and spaghetti dish, The tomahawk takes about 45 mins to prepare. Comes w a Cesar salad, and we also ordered a calamari appetizer. The house bread is soft warm and fresh. W a sid eof roasted red pepper butter. 5/5 Calamari has light batter w. A nice sauce chipotle mild? Very yum- 5/5 Ceasar salad on point w the right composition of dressing, and fresh greens! 5/5 Kids: My sons who are picky 1. Salmon rice broccolini dish- completely gobbled up. 5/5 2. Spaghetti w carbonara sauce. 3/5. He said it was ok. Maybe too heavy on the cheese. Tomahawk - came out cruise missile style and landed into my top steaks crater. This thing was pre cut, on a meat board , w delicious gravy in a gravy pot, side of perfect mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables? Maybe some were also grilled . The meat was perfectly done a medium- light red , tender, touch of blood. Made to order. Meat was all eaten , as were the veges and the mash 6/5! Considering my expectations were low when i was judging this place on its looks. Also tried a side of the mushrooms- well cooked w good aroma 5/5 Desert was a chocolate lava cake - light cake part and rich chocolate lava part-4/5 Needless to say. Exceeded expectations. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Fresh food for what we ordered. Hidden gem at this seafood restaurant was the tomahawk steak- MVP!. Give this place a try!!! Service was good 4/5
