Upon driving up to The Granite, you can see it's located right on the river with a deck facing it, and it looks to be an older converted house. We were all digging the 70's/ 80's era rock tunes throughout our meal and helped give the experience a nostalgic ambience. I ordered a unique mocktail with a hosemade raspberry and basil syrup- it was so good and different than anything I'd tasted before. For my entree, I had the Ginger Sesame Pasta. WOW! This was such a delicious dish! Everything about it was delicious. The peppers and onions were grilled to perfection, and the chicken was tender and juicy having just been fried on a golden batter. All this layered onto some Cantonese Style Noodles- it was the dish I didn't know I needed! Our meal at The Granite was hearty and delicious! It kept us going for the long drive back to Toronto. Next time I'm in Bancroft, I'll definitely be back to have this dish and drink again. They were so good!

Great food, great service, good atmosphere. Good burgers, and an absolutely amazing (but rather…read moresloppy) beef sandwich, served au jus. Sides too were exceptional, both salads and fries. Only the coffee was merely okay - but they were most generous with the refills. Highly recommended.

The ambiance was good overall, modern vibes but they still need to work on some small details, if an upscale modern vibe is what they're going for. The food was okay, the beef short ribs was the best dish I had from the 3 course meal. The cream of broccoli soup should be been blended for a smoother consistency. The beef short rib was an acceptable level of tender, the mashed potatoes underneath the ribs were good, however the carrots were undercooked and sauce should have been thicken so it could stick to the meat better. The trio of chocolate truffles just looked and tasted like box chocolates on a decorated plate, probably the most disappointing out of all the dishes. The restaurant itself is alright, there's still a lot of room for improvement.

We marvelled at the dressing and different, interesting ingredients, and why we can't make salads like that (gee, we are not chefs, that's why lol) My pasta was stupendous: I never order pasta when I dine out...it's just noodles in my mind (unless it's fresh), but their pasta (casarecce from Italy) was so perfectly cooked. I loved every bite of the dish, but the pasta itself shone the brightest. Husband had steak frites. He had to choose medium or rare, no middle ground, but his rare steak was perfect for him, w a lovely char on it. His frites were still crispy and tasty down to the final one: he could not recall having better fries, ever...and we've done patios and fine dining in Quebec City Ottawa and Toronto this year. I DIDN'T ASK, but the restaurant might not be licensed for alcohol. Since there was no corkage fee, I splurged on the wine. It was so good, we didn't need anything more to drink. The main courses were a little slow in coming...maybe 20 guests eating simultaneously...they don't seem to have a lot of staff...chef even helped to clear our table, but it was so nice to chat with him! PLEASE come out and support this restaurant. It's the best. The surrounding area is just beautiful; we did a lovely hike before our meal up to High Falls in Algonquin, the trail had is just a few km away. We will return again, for SURE

My wife and our friend went because we want to encourage new flavors in Bancroft! We were…read morepleasantly surprised with what came! Our friend ordered the Mexican poutine which I thought wouldn't be that exciting but I was wrong! The fries were seasoned with spices, there was a large quantity of food (she didn't even finish it) it was loaded with toppings! My wife ordered the 7 layer burrito, we went to a Mexican place in Maine and assumed the burrito would come with toppings like cheese lettuce and sour cream on top of the burrito. We thought that because the title on the menu is "7 layer burrito or Naked burrito" toppings or none. Nope not the case. Its actually in a wrap or in a bowl. We might be the only people who were confused but now you know. It was huge and my wife couldn't finish it. I ordered the tacos! Had too! Put them together yourself and the added hot sauce at every table was fantastic! Something you should know though, when you pick your protein, ground beef is literally just ground beef. Not seasoned with taco seasoning! It could have used some salt or something. It comes out in 3 trays. One is sizzling peppers, onions, your protein choice (go with chorizo) and topped with cheese. Next tray is warm tortillas (flour or corn) along with fresh tortilla chips, guac and some very weird sauce that tasted exactly like coleslaw dressing. Definitely not quaso. That was very disappointing. Not sure what to do with that stuff as it also came with my wife's burrito. Salsa would do just fine but that dressing was a terrible let down. Next small tray was sour cream, your choice of mild, medium, and hot salsa. Pro tip, medium had no kick at all, and on the end was Pico De Gallo which seemed to be fairly fresh! All was excellent except the tortillas chip dip. Swap that for Pico De Gallo or salsa or even better, quaso and it's a home run! Very filling, very healthy, loved it!

Had the tres tacos - half taco and half fajita. Basically a build your own taco. Chicken had pretty good seasoning and they let you choose your own spice level. Mexican fries - big portion and tasty. Quesadilla - tasty filling and again big portion. They have decent hot sauces for the table but you can ask for their homemade hot sauce. Overall a good experience.

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.

It's a large place inside but the tables were set up a bit oddly. It wasn't the most efficient use of space, but maybe that's good because the kitchen could hardly keep up with the few tables that were here. Let me start by saying though that the people who work here are really nice. Very friendly! It took about 25 minutes for anyone to come take our order and it was another about 35 minutes to get our first appetizer.. I ordered a salad. So I was a bit frustrated with the wait. The salad was heavily dressed but at that point we were so hungry I don't think we cared much. It took some time before we saw our mains. I think we were there for just over an hour before one of our main dishes came out. I was a little annoyed that they didn't apologize or even check in on us. I will say too, don't expect anything spectacular in terms of the food. You're at a motel style diner in the middle of no where. My partners pasta was completely over cooked to mush and sadly my burger was burned... We really didn't want to send it back and end up waiting another hour though so we just ate what we could. I didn't expect much going in, and I wasn't much disappointed. But the people seemed really really nice.

Just a few weeks ago I ordered a single cheeseburger with the works and extra onions. Apparently $1.50 of that price was just the onions and condiments. And the bun wasn't even fresh. It was stale and the crust was flaking. 5/10 don't recommend if you want food that's worth the cash.
