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.

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.

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!

After a friendly welcome by the Hostess, we met our server, also very friendly and helpful. He brought our drinks right away & gave us time to make our choices, fish & chips for 3 and Chicken parmesan for me. While waiting for our meals, I ogled the meals being delivered to other guests and have to say, they all looked quite appetizing! When our meals arrived, we all were pleased with how good everything looked and started right in. The fish was crispy on the outside, nice and firm on the inside, beautifully done. The fries were good too. My chicken Parm was excellent, served with penne & Alfredo sauce. The chicken had a lovely breaded crust and was tender on the inside, had a nice sauce and the cheese was perfectly melty and chewy. I've had chicken Parm many times, none of them were terrible, but this was the best I've had. We all agreed we would be happy to come and eat here again. The seating was comfortable, not crowded, with various seating options. There was nothing negative about this meal or the service so I have to leave all five stars. BTW I got all thumbs up on my restaurant choice from our group

Not a huge fan of the fries (I only ate a few and it wasn't worth the calories they were yummy enough). Also ordered Greek salad with salmon filet. Lots of feta! If I ordered this again I would order the salad dressing on the side as it also has a shelf life seeing as the dressing has been put on it and there's quite a bit of it. Still it is a tasty salad but don't delay in consuming the food. In the first picture you will see how the salad looks when I opened it up... And then in the second picture you will see what it looks like when I add the piece of salmon I ordered separately and the lemon wedge.

This is a comfort food establishment with a large menu and fresh baked pies. Opted for the roast beef dinner subbing out the mashed potatoes for a green salad. While the presentation was perhaps not perfect, the taste was great as well as the portion size. I enjoyed dipping the warmed roll into the gravy...so good. And the service was excellent. It was a very positive food experience and happy to recommend Kettles if in Owen Sound.

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

Shared an order of mussels in Thai sauce, sauce was good but the smallest mussels I've ever seen. Good, not great. Being from Nova Scotia I should know better than to order seafood chowder in Ontario but they did say they were a seafood restaurant. It came to the table as a rather grey looking goop with a shrimp and two mussels stuck on top. They were the only identifiable seafood in the chowder plus I only found one potato chunk. My friend had the Thai red curry soup which was more of a risotto than a soup and while not horrible was underwhelming. I won't be going back and to boot, the jazz band didn't show up!

I only had ice cream (Salty Caramel) and fries here, so I can't fully speak to the food but what I did have was delicious. I saw nothing but hardworking, friendly and fun-loving staff during my visit and will definitely be back to try their breakfast the next time I'm in town.
