BONUS points for having a in-house accordion player who sings old Italian classics on select weekends! I've been a couple times already and it's our go-to dine-out dinner spot in Fergus at the moment! We're tried their dinner and appetizer specials - pork always done to perfection and generous portions. On their regular menu, we had their calamari which was a bit generic and lack lustre. Their mushroom and pear pizza was ok as well. I'd honestly stick to their pastas and dinner specials!

We stood at the entrance and staff ignored us for a few moments, glancing our way but not saying anything to greet us. It was quite busy, so understandable, and we shoved apprehension aside to end up enjoying what turned out to be a very delicious meal. Instead of bread, every table is served a mini charcuterie of salami, cheese, olives, bruschetta. Loved this touch! Our pesto pasta, mussels, buratta, and carpaccio were all delicious. Appreciate the feminine hygiene products in the bathroom as well! Another note is just the clean wine glasses with a bit more polish; water marks were on ours.

That Little Place By The Lights is clearly a very popular spot...this place gets PACKED! We were…read morehoping to eat on the patio since we had our dogs with us, but unfortunately it was a rainy day, so we decided to grab some takeout instead. When I arrived, the restaurant was absolutely bustling, but the lady who helped me with our order was in such high spirits and was incredibly friendly. Even with how busy they were, she was so welcoming and made the pickup experience great. For my meal, I ordered the Creamy Pesto with Chicken, and I absolutely loved it. The sauce wasn't overly oily, had a nice, light basil flavour, and I really appreciated that they included Parmesan on the side so I could add as much as I wanted. My wife ordered the Spaghetti Primavera and really enjoyed it as well. She especially loved the goat cheese, which added a great flavour to the dish. The pasta here is definitely high quality. You can tell some care goes into it, and both of our mains were delicious. We also ordered the Arancini, which were just okay. We've had much better elsewhere, so they weren't really a highlight of the meal. The pasta, however, was excellent. We're definitely interested in coming back, hopefully on a nicer day so we can actually sit on the patio with the dogs, try more of the menu, and take in the views from the upper patio. It's easy to see why this place is so popular! For more food, travel, and travel reviews, check out our YouTube channel A&M Roam!

The owner was quite busy running around, serving people, grabbing drinks from the bar, taking orders, cleaning tables & bringing out food. It would have been nice if he had a waitress to cover the customers who were seated instead of him trying to do everything. He would make us fish & chips with halibut even though it was not on the menu. The order included soup or salad so my husband got the house salad with dressing & I got the bacon potatoe soup. Both were a good size portion and I really enjoyed my soup! The orders came with 2 large crispy & very hot portions of halibut and fries. We probably could have shared an order but we didn't know how big they were. Excellent dinner and fixed our cravings for this. Was so hungry I slathered the tartar sauce on & was digging in so fast... so tasty & almost forgot to take photos. I will come back next time so try their Greek food...

Ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese ($26) which was your typical bolognese with some garlic bread on the side. It was alright with good portions.

It is such a beautiful setting and I believe they need to step up their game or eventually people will stope coming. The patio needs cleaning up, weeding and more comfortable chairs. At dinner, if not table cloths then at the very least , cloth napkins. The small paper cheap napkins just don't cut it. The food is marginal at best. Or at least what we had was. The meatballs tasted like canned sauce on them, the artichokes for the appetizer I do not believe should be pickled . We will be back and try other menu items due to the lovely location .
