Rounding up from a 3.5. My husband picked up some schnitzel on the way home, so I only tried it…read moreover an hour later. Because it was in the cardboard container for so long, by the time my husband got home the container was kind of damp from the heat and moisture, and some of the sauerkraut stuck to the bottom. I originally just wanted the wiener schnitzel, though they use pork cutlet instead of the traditional veal specifically for wiener schnitzel. I decided to go with the mushroom schnitzel instead, since it seemed popular. I asked for the mushroom sauce on the side instead of on top because I didn't want the schnitzel to be soggy after travelling. It had been awhile since I had spaetzle, so I got that and braised cabbage instead of the standard potatoes and gravy and steamed veggies it came with. My husband got me a large schnitzel, which I'm glad he did because it was quite thin and the large was a good size. I was hesitant to reheat it because it was so thin and I didn't want to overcook it. I was also super hungry (I didn't eat lunch beforehand to save the room) and didn't want to wait. The schnitzel was good with the slice of lemon as well as the mushroom sauce. The creamy mushroom sauce tasted like Campbell's condensed mushroom soup with some mushrooms added, but that's actually one of my favourite canned soups so I can't complain. The only downside was that it was cold and thickened in the containers, so I probably should've reheated the sauce. The spatzle seemed a bit overcooked because it was a bit gummy. I was surprised to find it had the same mushroom sauce on top of it. It was ok, but it would've been better with just butter, and probably would've been a much better texture if I had it freshly made. There was plenty of braised red cabbage. It wasn't too sour and surprisingly sweeter than I expected, but good and hearty. This definitely would've been better in a non-cardboard container, but more environmentally friendly, I guess. My husband got the large Cordon Bleu schnitzel that was stuffed with black forest ham and cheese, whipped potatoes with gravy, and steamed broccoli and carrots. I tried the schnitzel and while good, I still liked mine better with the sauce on top. The potatoes were pretty good, very smooth with a dark gravy, but not sure if they were homemade. Overall good, filling meal. Would love to go there and eat-in someday so that the food is still hot and fresh!

Was looking forward to having a big piece of Halibut but was informed that the pieces were small and very expensive. As such I tried the Haddock but was quite disappointed in the portion size, mostly all batter. Also tried the clam strips which were dismal, pre made out of a bag and such a small portion. Fries were ok, nothing special and the coleslaw wasn't too my taste as well, very finely grated and such a small portion. So not a very good value, $17.00 for the Haddock and $12.00 for the clam strips. Probably the best option locally, but doesn't compare to many other fish and chip places around.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Cute little bistro in Perth, ON…read more We lucked out and they had lobster rolls on their menu when we were there. They were delicious. The Long Version: The hubster and I had lunch at the Rocky River Cafe and it was fantastic. They have their regular menu but then they also have a special menu that changes daily. We were thrilled to see lobster rolls on their special menu the day we went. It was $23.95 for a lobster roll, coleslaw and fries or a salad. I got mine with the salad and my husband got his with fries. The lobster roll was big, much bigger than at other places out east. The bun was like a hoagie rather than a hot dog bun. Bigger is always better! Lol. The lobster meat was plentiful and really tasty. I liked that they didn't mix the lobster meat with the mayo but rather slathered the bread with mayo and filled the sandwich with buttered lobster meat. It made it easier for me to remove some of the mayo, since I'm not a huge fan of mayo. The bun was soft and fresh. I had asked for the salad dressing on the side and the server even wrote it down because she said "oh I have to write that down." Despite all this, the salad came dressed :( It was a bit overdressed for my liking, but not excessively so, and we were hungry, so I just ate it. It was a spring mix, a slice of cucumber (it was cut on the oblique, so not as stingy as it sounds), a ring of red pepper and a few grape tomatoes cut into quarters. The dressing was an herb vinaigrette. My husband's fries were delicious. I sort of regretted not getting fries, haha. The coleslaw was mayo based and had cabbage and carrots. It did not have much seasoning to it. I did not enjoy it and gave most of it to my husband. My husband also had a coffee after the meal ($3.25). Service was pleasant. We chose to sit in the little front room which just had 3 tables in it, so it's a bit secluded and quieter. The main dining room is bigger and more open. We enjoyed being in the small room but it was a bit cold in there. I don't think the insulation is good (it was freezing outside). Washrooms are upstairs and were also very cold. Although oddly the landing before the washrooms was very warm. There was no hot water in the washrooms. Only ice cold water to wash hands. Yikes. Despite the cold washrooms and cold dining area at the front of the restaurant, and my overdressed salad, I still really enjoyed my meal and would return.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Breakfast here was satisfactory…read more Nothing wow but was totally ok. I had bacon and eggs. The Long Version: This review is exclusively for the complimentary breakfast we ate here as part of being guests at the attached hotel (The Best Western). So if you stay at the Best Western, included in your stay is breakfast at The Locks. It's not a buffet. You get to order an item from their menu from the "Best Western Breakfast" section. My husband and I both chose the 2 eggs breakfast, but they also had pancakes, a BLT or yogurt granola on the menu, but the day we went, they ran out of pancake batter and yogurt but said they could make French Toast. For the 2 eggs breakfast you get to choose how you want your eggs, and you get either bacon or sausages. You also get home fries and toast. After we left, I realized that the menu said you get coffee or tea and a glass of juice, but we were only offered coffee or tea as soon as we sat down and were never asked what juice we wanted. Although it's written in an unclear manner: "coffee or tea, 1 glass of juice." Which I interpret as coffee or tea and a glass of juice because if it was only one of the three options then it should be written "coffee, tea, or 1 glass of juice." Anyway, I got my eggs scrambled, and my husband got his over easy. We both got brown bread and I asked for mine dry (no butter). Our food did arrive as requested. We got 2 slices of bacon each. The bacon was nicely cooked, not too crispy, but not too soft/chewy. The home fries were a bit too browned for my liking but they were nicely seasoned. The meals came with a small serving of ketchup as well as a small slice of pineapple and a wedge of orange. The food was fine but nothing special in my opinion. I got a tea (Earl Grey, it was from Higgens and Burke) while my husband got a coffee. They brought my tea bag in a mug and a kettle of hot water with a cup on top. I was like why did they give me a second cup? But when I removed the cup, I realized they were using the cup as a lid because the kettle's lid must have broke, lol. Service was courteous and the food came out pretty quickly. The breakfast for hotel guests is from 7am-10am. We arrived at 7:15am and were pleased that there was only one other guest there (we hate crowds and like to dine as off-peak hours as we can, lol). By the time we left, 2 other guests had arrived. Apparently between 9am-10am is their busiest time. Considering there was a wedding the previous night at the hotel, we definitely wanted to beat the rush. They seem to have the reputation as a higher end restaurant, so I'm hoping their regular food is better. They have free parking on-site, shared with the hotel. Review #46 (2025)

Our reservation was at 5:30 (we were right on time) our food came at 7:10! Wow and when we asked about our food that's been an hour since we ordered all the waiteress was able to say "yes I realize that!" An apology would have been nice.. by the time the food came everyone was hangry at the table and we just devoured the food in 5 minutes.. we honestly couldn't enjoy the meal! But the food was good, the flatbread, salmon and chicken were delicious but the portions were one the small size.. we had the toffee pudding for dessert and it was a hit! My husband said maybe next time we order the food and get a room at the hotel nap and come down to eat when it's ready . The fastest thing that came to the table was the bill!
