What an amazing find! Used yelp to find some good food before making the long drive to our next stop and this was along the way. The view alone is worth dining here. All I knew when looking this up is the food reviews were good. This just made the dining experience that much better. Plus the background music added peace of mind. Looking back this was my favorite restaurant of my three day trip. Our waitress was the only one catering to the 9/12? tables. She was quick, very helpful with our food questions, and clearly a return employee as I overheard her talking to a table of grandparents about the changes in menu from last year. Food, Delicious with a capital d! My date wanted to take home a thing of the cheese that was on my Flambée Maison. It was very enjoyable. We ordered the Smoked Local Whitefish after which in comparison to what we just had wasn't up to par but I cleaned the jar with my fork after all the toasties were gone. Dessert.... Hands down top two carrot cakes I have had. Crème Brûlée Cheesecake was on another level. Carrot cake is my go to but this cheesecake melted in my mouth and I couldn't get enough. I wanted to order two more and take them home but I rather make another trip up here down the road and live this expensive again! Enjoy!! read more

What a beautiful place ! The charcuterie boards are delicious and they have good craft beer. Best of all is the spectacular view from the patio . Well worth a special trip . read more

For some light appetizer style dishes and a cool drink its a nice stop. Busy in the summer, no reservations and a spectacular patio view of the Bay of Quinte. I believe they are open June-Sept. read more

The only plus point of this location is the view; other than that, it has the slowest service and not many food choices on the menu. I got here before 4pm and there were 2 groups of seniors ahead of me in the lineup. One of the staff came to the waiting table and guided them to their table and then disappeared; to the extend that the senior couple in front of me went and sat down on the bench outside, waiting for her to come back. She came back after 15 15 minutes and got their and my number and put it on the list and disappeared again. We watched 2 groups finishing up their food and drinks and leave the restaurant. But, she never came to guide us to our table. Instead she was running around with the other waiting staff, literally doing nothing!!! By the time she eventually decided to come to us, there was a huge lineup behind me. I'm not sure if they are deliberately doing it as a marketing tool to create a huge line up and make it look like they are more popular than the restaurant on the other side of the road or they are severely understaffed! After more than 1 hour, I was led to my table, but again, it took them literally 20 minutes to bring me a menu! There is not many various or complicated options on the menu, a few flat breads, charcuterie and appetizers. So, I ordered a flatbread and waited forever for my food to arrive. Sometime in the middle of the 2 staff running around, one of them brought me a glass of water. I believe it was around 5:30 pm that they served my VERY SIMPLE flatbread. She asked me if I wanted another glass of water and went to bring me one, but by the time she brought me the next glass of water, I was already done with my food! I requested the bill and I told them I would rather leave sooner. But then again, it took her 10 minutes to bring me my bill! It was almost 6:00pm by the time I could escape that place! What is going on here? Is the owner keeping the restaurant understaffed as a marketing tool, or is too cheap to pay for more staff??!! I don't think the view is worth being stood up like this! read more

Honestly can't give less than 5 stars for the amazing view this place has.. on the mountain with an exclusive view of the lake it's a beautiful spot to relax and have a drink. We got some lemonades they were ok, but anything with this view is awesome! Got few nibbles and dessert but the view is amazing and the service was top notch and friendly :) Great music on the background, if it wasn't for my bored kids I'd be here all day! read more

What a fantastic little find!! If you're ever traveling around in the Picton area, you've gotta stop by for a nice afternoon snack or brunch. We came over the long weekend and they were pretty meticulous with their sanitizing and physical distancing. No indoor seating allowed, which, if you've seen their view, is just fine by me. We got to enjoy such a gorgeous view to lake Ontario and watch the boats beneath setting sail. This seems to be the place to go for anyone who wants to just sit back and enjoy a nice glass of wine or a local chilled beer. Their platters looked amazing, but we ended up ordering the flambee maison and local smoked white fish. Both were delicious! I think the bread for the flambee was really tough and hard to chew, so maybe not the best date food. We'll stick with the platters next time. I had also ordered a sparkling berry drink which was delicious and refreshing! Service was a bit slow, but great! Very friendly staff read more

The Miller House - Flambee maison and the local smoked whitefish - Cafes Near Me - Prince Edward, Ontario

Cute cafe spot by the water! We came during the summer. Where we sat didn't have the most scenic of views, but it was still nice and refreshing. The service was a little sparse. The cafe is quite small, so space was limited. The wait time isn't bad, but you better have your sunscreen ready during the summer! For drinks, we had the fresh berry fruit spritzer and Arnold Palmer, which we're both nice and refreshing. For foods, we got the fromage a trois platter, flambée Nordique, and house roast beef tartine. The fromage a trois platter had nice cheeses and made a nice snacking/appetizer dish. That being said, I wish they brought it out as an appetizer before the rest of the food, instead of along with all the other items ordered. The flambée Nordique had a good blend of the salty smoked salmon and the creamy cheese, which paired really well with the peppery arugula. The salmon tasted fresh too! The house roast beef tartine was good as well. The tangy but mild cream on top of the beef is a nice combination! Overall, the food was quite nice, but the price tag was pretty steep for what you got. I understand that this is a tourist destination in a prime scenic location, but it's definitely going to make me think twice about coming here again. read more

Beautiful views and tasty shareable dishes As the title states, the major attraction to the restaurant are the beautiful views of the Lake on the Mountain. If you're lucky, you'll be seated right at the edge to have the best views; even if you're not, the views from wherever on the patio are still beautiful. The menu is comprised of tasty shareable favorites from crostinis, flatbreads to dips. There is a broad selection of beers, cidres and wines from the area. We tried the smoked white fish dip and the tomato/labneh crostini. Both very delicious, but cold appetizers. There are quite a few options of each type of food offered: flatbreads, dips, crostinis. Nice options to share with a group! read more

The Miller House - Tomato labneh crostini - Cafes Near Me - Prince Edward, Ontario

This place has a great patio with amazing view without a doubt. I have been here several times over the past few years. I used to love this place. Today, we came here at around 11 something in the morning. The patio was already packed. The place was certainly busy. We sat inside and there were only couple other tables. We decided to just order cappuccino and croissants to start our day. We waited 15 minutes for our croissants and then another 10 more minutes for our coffees. In between, we tried to remind our server that we didn't get our coffee yet. Her response was we are busy today, that's all. Well, very "friendly" service indeed. Actually the croissants and cappuccino were good. Too bad, the unfriendly service made me switched my rating for this place from 4 to 3 stars! read more

The Miller House Cafe-Brasserie is located in the oldest building on Lake on the Mountain. It was built circa 1796 and in 2013 it was restored and becomes a part of The Lake on the Mountain Resort. We did not intend to have lunch at The Miller House but when I saw the view and realized it has the "same" beer menu as the Inn Restaurant across the road. I was SOLD. On a Sunny weekday afternoon, the patio area was packed! But the wait staff here was really accommodating and friendly. And the VIEW!!! The menu is simple with local wine by glass or bottle and of course beers from the small brewery The Lake on the Mountain Brewery on site. Platter of Charcuterie Board for under $20 and small bites. (If you want "cooked" food, Inn across the street would be a better choice) A Flight of any 4 beers on tap ($7.95) Lager, Cream Ale, IPA and Country Brown Local Platter ($18.50) with cheese, meat and condiments from local business. Beer was OK, I had better crafted beer. The charcuterie board though really interesting and I love the different choice they have in the menu. Highly recommended if you want to have a quick bite while you are in the area. read more

Horrible service. We went to sit on their patio and had tea and dessert with our kids. The scenery was beautiful. The waiting staff were fine. Off to the side of the building there is a grass area with trees where our boys 6, and 7 ran around. Not 10 minutes after we left our outdoor table and stayed on the property to run around did my 7 year old need to go to the bathroom. I asked the hostess and told her we JUST finished eating. She said "Sorry, the restrooms are only for guest CURRENTLY eating". HORRIBLE. The Inn right across the street had no issue with my 7 year old using their facilities. THANK YOU The Inn. Next time we will visit you instead. Never driving 2 hours here again to go to the Miller House. I understand there are restrictions due to COVID-19, but we did not leave the property. So ridiculous. People, use your common sense! I want to give the Miller House a 0 for this experience. Picton, if you want your tourism not to die then treat people with dignity and respect. read more

Came here for lunch with my husband and 2 kids. We had 2 platters (the local and the beer master) and one house flatbread. I paired that with the sparkling wine and with the outdoor patio and lake view it was very delicious. They have this Bacon marmalade that goes really well with bread. We finished it off with a Chocolate Almond torte. Yum! read more

The best part of this place is the amazing view of the river and mainland Ontario. You feel as if you're transported to somewhere in Europe. Amazing. They only have about 10 tables and only take walk ins. The food is all platters and charcuterie so if your looking for actual grin you won't get it here. However I thoroughly enjoyed my platter of smoked salmon on toast. It was quite delicious and relatively filling even though it's only 3 pieces. I also got the iced tea which was refreshing. Definitely worth the experience. read more

This place is a gem! If your ever in Prince Edward County, this place is a must visit! The views alone will blow your mind. Decor 5/5 The location is stunning. They have an outdoor patio with a million dollar view. Inside is not to shabby either. Service 5/5 The servers were very attentive and provided excellent service and recommendations. Food 5/5 If you fancy something a bit different. The charcuterie platters are amazing. We had "The Local" and it came with 6 year old cheddar, seed to sausage salami, salad, the bacon marmalade was crazy good! So many things to try next time we are in this area.

Great little spot right beside Lake on the Mountain that serves a variety of charcuterie boards, local wines/beer and provides an outstanding view of the surrounding area. Best to go for a snack and a drink rather than a full meal. It's a pretty touristy spot so if you are looking for a table (especially on the outdoor patio), be prepared to wait in line. read more

Absolutely love this place. Excellent food, drinks and service. And the view from the patio is picture perfect. We started with a glass of local wine and cider, followed by the charcuterie board. Make sure the try one with the bacon marmalade. (We bought a jar to take home.) Everything here is a winner. Could have stayed all night watching the sun go down. read more

You can't beat the view and the staff is very nice and friendly. The food is good, mainly charcuteries but as some other reviewers pointed out it is a bit over priced considering the portions. It is a great place to enjoy a drink and the view and share a snack if you are not really hungry but you won't get a culinary experience. Food: 4/5 Atmosphere and staff: 4.5/5 Price: 3.5/5 Overall: 4/5 read more

What a charming spot for food, drinks and views at Lake on the Mountain in Prince Edward County! There were so many delicious sounding menu descriptions of the food at this historic spot that it was hard to pick what to eat. My husband and I ended up getting a charcuterie board (The Local) with a delicious selection of 2 kinds of salami, slices of aged cheddar cheese, fresh baguette slices, sauerkraut, mustard and I think it was bacon marmalade. We also got one of the flatbreads called the Traditional Tarte Flambee that had fromage blanc, thin onions and house smoked bacon on it. Both were delicious and the perfect end to a day full of eating, drinking and sightseeing in Prince Edward County. It cost about $45 if I remember right. At first I thought it seemed a bit pricy but we enjoyed the freshness of the food we got (all locally done!) and Toronto food can cost just as much for the same dishes (between $15-$20 per dish). To top it off, the patio views overlooking the lake were nice during the early evening and sunset. Their patio seats about 40 people with more seats inside. Service was quick and attentive enough despite how busy they were - constant flow of people coming in. All in all, a great dining experience here and I would recommend coming here if you're in the PEC area! read more

Of you want views in the area- this is your place. We came in on a Monday just after they had opened (11am). Even though it was a bit cool we decided to sit outside in order to take advantage of those views. The sign said that we could seat ourselves wherever we like but once we had chosen a table we were not able to move. That was fine. We waited for about five minutes before the waitress came to ask us what we would like. We ordered a glass of wine each, and it took about 20 minutes to receive those glasses of wine. We were almost ready to just leave because we didn't think she was coming back. She later said that she was the only person working and that's why it was taking so long. However two groups that came in after us were served before us. We enjoyed our glasses of wine (which for the area they had a very limited selection). We didn't try any food because we had just eaten breakfast. Overall I had heard mixed reviews about the place, although if you're in the area it's likely worth a try. read more

Charming cafe/bistro. The view is absolutely amazing. Two waitresses were serving us. One was rude ( having a bad day) and the other one super friendly. Definitely pass by this place and grab a coffee or bite and sit on the patio outside you won't regret it. read more

The Miller House Cafe-Brasserie is fantastic. Set across the road from the Lake on the Mountain, it's patio overlooks a beautiful inlet of Lake Ontario. Along with the magnificent setting, the food was great! My boyfriend and I shared the Viva Italia platter as well as the Best of the Burgs platter. Everything on each of these platters was fresh and delicious! We also tried both of the IPA's they make at their brewery and they were fantastic! I will definitely be stopping in at Miller House next time I am in the area! read more

Likely the most spectacular patio view and atmosphere in Ontario. Delicious local food and the best craft beer anywhere. Reasonable prices. Impossible not to have a great time. Memorable! read more

This place is a must if you're in the Picton area. The patio has a million dollar view, the food is fantastic and their own craft beer selection is excellent. The menu is charcuterie selections, flatbread and French bread creations and that's it for food, but that's plenty. They stay open until sunset, which is supposed to be beautiful, but we were there for lunch so missed that. We'd go back here in a heartbeat. read more

What a terrible experience. I have been refused a table, because we were just going to have coffee and pastries. Being redirected to a take out window instead. After a long wait for attendant, they were out of disposable cups. Five customers left empty handed and their patio was only half full. I understand pandemic times are difficult but if you are not ready to open and welcome tourists, stay CLOSED. read more

You CANNOT beat the view here. We were lucky enough to snag a spot looking directly over the water on a beautiful summer day. My partner and I split the cheese board -- great selection of cheeses! -- and flatbread. The flatbread was just okay -- it was served at room temperature and I'm sure it would have been better served warm. This is more of a snack bar, so don't go expecting a meal. This is a popular spot in summer, so expect slow service. read more

Nice wines by the glass, tasty small plates (had hummus/pita with Turkish veg dip). View is spectacular, and if you go mid-week (even in August) it is not too crowded. Enjoyed! :) read more

My mouth is watering just thinking about this place. Party of four on a Saturday afternoon, lucked out with good timing and got a table right at the edge of the patio. The view is obviously beautiful. Great service, great food, good beer (only tried the IPA). read more

Fine if you want to enjoy the view. Very small plate quantities which makes it very expensive.

Server was very nice. Wonderful view on patio. Food is was well put together and very good combs.

the view is the only thing that is great about this place. Customer service is lacking. Servers display a lot of attitude and make you feel as if you are lucky to get a table. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

I almost don't want to review it so that it remains somewhat secret. As soon as we turned the corner onto this patio, I felt like I was in heaven. The food was perfect, exactly what we wanted.
