We went with another family and basically ordered everything on the menu- burgers were excellent and kids thought having a branded bun was super cool.

Employees were great, food was exactly what we wanted, and it was reasonably priced.

I had my initial hesitations thinking it might be some basic pub food. Who knew this restaurant out in Gravenhurst is better than many Toronto restaurants in the city. One of my fav meals in a while. The Oar recently undergone a new concept change to Lamorna. While they still kept the Oar as their name given the familiarity and reputation of the previous restaurant concept, the menu and indoor decor has completely changed with a new chef in the last couple months. The menu is farm to table and it rotates weekly, and I can really taste the difference, which explains the more premium but reasonable price. Note a burger will always be on the menu and we really like their dry age burger, rich and the accompanying (what looks like hand/in-house cut) fries are so delicious, I wouldn't mind ordering more on the side. We also dined at their outdoor patio so our pups could dine with us. They so kindly brought over a water bowl for the dogs too! Towards the end of the meal, chef Ben came out personally to greet us and we can feel the passion and care he puts into his food. We asked about how he came to this restaurant and his inspo for his food and he told us it's from his travels. eg. why the schnitzel is thicker because he enjoys the thick katsu he had from Japan. He told us he recently sold two of his restaurants and decided to head up this restaurant after his travels. The chef actually goes around and sources ingredients directly from the farms and locally. We also appreciated the fresh pasta and thick cut schnitzel. We also absolutely love the eggplant and the croquettes too. Actually everything we had was a highlight and that's rare for me to find all the dishes impressive at a restaurant. Highly recommend order their bread service so you can use the bread to clean up the sauces from the remaining plates, as it's not included by default. I also love the charm of the plates and cutlery. They open a box of different knives you can pick a knife to use all vintage/second-hand and gave the feel that it's from grandma's home. Highly recommend this spot! The attention to detail, quality and personal service makes this spot special.

I can only concur with the comments of a most recent review. What might attract many is the Farm…read moreto Table concept and a talented chef who is committed to his calling. We were more than pleasantly surprised to be offered some sophisticated options for starters and main course that were not menu options. With access to fine dining somewhat limited in Cottage Country we accepted the challenge. The starter was a perfectly cooked fresh Newfoundland scallop served with a delicate rich pesto toasted panko breadcrumb dressing. My main course was a homemade cappelletti pasta with fresh peas sautéed in a delicate sauce.. My companion ate from the menu with the Arctic Char which was slightly on the dry side, likely finished off in the oven, but fine by Gastro Pub standards. The wine selection was uninspiring and low range but relative to the overall dining environment so I went with a pleasant locally brewed beer and my companion an indifferent Ontario Chardonnay. Service was excellent, attentive and friendly. Outside dining was available but likely for more casual diners. Dining inside, for me being the preferred option, but on this occasion did tend to be on the the noisy side but that was down to the patrons. Nothing pretentious here, no doubt credit to the chef and staff . Definitely worth a visit and reservations although likely not 100% essential daytime are recommended for evenings . This place is an oasis in a desert of upscale dining.....worth at least a 25 to 30 km drive! The overall emphasis here is that this place is based and built on team work with the utilization of both local food and staff....it succeeds !

We came to here because we'd tried their beer before and really enjoyed it, and we also read that…read morethe brewery was dog-friendly. So naturally, we brought our two little dogs and grabbed a spot on the patio. My wife and I both got beer flights, and we were really impressed with quite a few of the beers. We're pretty picky when it comes to sours, but the Cherry Cheesecake Sour and Guava Sour were standouts for us. Both were fantastic and easily some of our favourites of the flight. For food, I went with the Smoked Mac & Cheese. It was a little soupy underneath the top layer of cheese, but it still had an awesome smoky flavour, especially with the brisket mixed in. The BBQ drizzle was awesome and sweet too. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My wife got the Fish Tacos. She enjoyed the flavour, although she's had better fish tacos elsewhere. They became soggy pretty quickly, but she still liked them overall. Unfortunately, what really put a damper on our visit was an interaction involving our dogs. At one point, a couple with dogs came onto the patio. Our dogs barked as they walked by, and one of their dogs was also pretty reactive, which actually made us feel a little better because we knew we weren't the only ones dealing with that. However, we were later told by staff that we'd have to leave if our dogs continued barking. We've visited a lot of dog-friendly breweries and patios, and we've honestly never had this issue before. We completely understand that excessive barking can disturb other customers, and we're always responsible for our dogs, but being told we'd have to leave really rubbed us the wrong way, especially in a place that advertises itself as dog-friendly. What made it worse was that we immediately felt anxious and uncomfortable for the rest of our visit. Instead of being able to relax and enjoy our food, we felt like we had to rush through the rest of our meal because we were worried our dogs might bark again and we'd be asked to leave. It really wasn't a good feeling at all, and unfortunately it took away a lot of the enjoyment from what had otherwise been a nice visit. What's frustrating is that the staff themselves were actually very, very nice. I had a great conversation with one of the employees and have nothing bad to say about the people working there. It was specifically the handling of the dog situation that really disappointed us. If you're going to advertise yourself as dog-friendly, we feel there should be a reasonable expectation that dogs are going to...well, act like dogs sometimes. The beer was excellent, the food was good, and the staff were friendly, but unfortunately that interaction and the anxiety it caused for the remainder of our meal...brought our overall rating way down.

I'd been trying to go to Weber's for years, but the place is always just so darn crowded (and I…read morerefuse to line up for a half hour to eat a burger). Anyway, on our most recent trip to cottage country, we dutifully pulled into the Weber's parking lot and amazingly the lineup wasn't completely insane. They've got the whole thing running like a well-oiled machine, as you order and pay in line, and then eventually your food is handed to you. I was worried we'd have to sit in the heat but they have a spacious (and air conditioned!) seating area inside a train car. It's really nice. As for the burger, it's solid. Nothing about it blew me away, but it definitely hit the spot. The fries were really tasty, too. Next time I'd probably go with a double burger since the single just felt a little too puny. (I also want to shout out the service, as we asked to change our drink after it had already been made and they happily obliged!) Weber's is pretty awesome, I can admit it. Hopefully we'll be back someday.

Queuing up for like 15-20 mins for what looks like a pretty basic burger topped with your choice of American cheese, onions, pickle, tomato and ketchup and mustard on a thick bun. The burger turned out even better than expected. I definitely taste the smokey flavour. Definitely not a flavour I can easily achieve with our gas bbq at home. We got the double cheese burger with everything except mustard. The cheese is melted between the patties and definitely not as bland as some of the previous reviews mentioned. I think with a thicker bun, a double is needed to create the balanced bite. What's really cool is the vibe and history of this place for that I at least have to give them a star. Fun fact, the owner purchased part of the CN Tower complex to build this pedestrian bridge across the highway so people who came down south can still park and come across the highway safely to enjoy the their burgers. Apparently in the 1970s/80s so many people did it by foot that it became a safety hazard. It's believed to be the only privately owned pedestrian bridge spanning a public highway in Ontario. The owner has purchased retired railway cars to expand his operations for a meat processing facility, washrooms and more. There are also plenty of outdoor seating around this area. They also partnered with Tesla to have supercharger stations on either side of the highway, which makes it a perfect resting spot for those who have electric vehicles. Definitely a unique spot to try at least once if you happen to pass by. Debit and cash only. Line moves quite efficiently as they have a lot of staff assembling and processing orders. I gotta give it to the guy on the grill... handling the massive lineup of people ordering and dealing with like over 20 patties at once in the heat and smoke.

I should've, because although it was ok, I didn't think it was worth the extra money I was charged, especially since I couldn't finish it. My fault for not speaking up about it when it landed on the table. I would definitely go back if I ever find myself in the neighborhood again.
