Hart House Restaurant

The service was excellent. Our waiter, John, was able to create cocktails that weren't on the menu but were based on our tastes and they were delicious. We like to take our time over dinner and were not rushed at all. We would definitely come back for another lovely evening of dining.

Would like to see a large appetizer menu. But overall lovely place for an intimate dinner.

A lovely venue for brunch or a romantic al fresco dinner.

Food and service remains fantastic as usual. Thank for the big effort to keep everybody safe. Food was delicious!!!

Decent food, great atmosphere. Worth coming here at least once.

John was our server, he did an excellent job, had good knowledge of the foods we ordered. He is polite and friendly.

Haven’t been here for years. Had a very enjoyable meal. Elegant old building, easy parking, excellent service and quiet ambiance.

My husband took me here as we rarely have date night and The experience really took it away. Food was better than I imagine. I was hoping the atmosphere would be better even though we had the view of the lake but it was anobstructed view and the feeling of a high end restaurant didn’t hit the mark. Had a few cocktails which were good though esp the hold tody. Service was pleasant but could have been better.

Food was delicious. Service was good. Tables were nicely distanced. Overall a very nice dining experience.

The menu was excellent; staff were attentive and caring. Food was superb. Good application of safety protocols for COVID - we felt very safe. It was an overall great. lunch.

The food was excellent, but the restaurant was very empty and a bit cold. Not much ambiance.

it was our 5 year anniversary and we've always wanted to try this place. we decided on the Sunday brunch! The mussels were outstanding and service was excellent. View of the lake made the ambience perfection.

thank you we'll be back for sure!

Food and service are good. Atmosphere is fine with Deer Lake just out of the restaurant. Improvement can be made by increasing a bit lighting inside the restaurant as it’s a bit dim though there is natural light from outside.

somewhat limited menu but an elegant setting in a former mansion

The food was outstanding. Location was perfect. It was a lovely night out.

We had the brunch menu. I had the eggs with prosciutto and mushrooms. Very nice especially the mushrooms. Friends who were with me enjoyed the waffles!

As usual, the Hart House offered a lovely dining experience. This visit we tried the brunch. The food was wonderful, the service excellent and the atmosphere perfect. I always look forward to dining at the Hart House.

The food was superb and the food and wine pairing was excellent.
We really enjoyed it. Tables were spaced far a part for Covid19.
The noise level was low, it was quiet and relaxing. A great experience for our family.

There were 6 of us that got together to celebrate two of the members' 65th birthdays. We dressed up fancy, we put on our best manners, and we went hoping that it would be a good evening, despite Covid. Well, this place exceeded expectations. The ambience was perfect, the service, especially by Monica, was excellent, the food was excellent. We were there for 3 hours, and the good news for me - as I paid the bill, was that the total was much lower than I expected. All 6 of us left full and happy - and wondering why it took us so long to find this very special place.

It was my Dads 85th birthday and everything was perfect!
This is a very special restaurant for us and we really appreciate the quality of food and excellent service.
Thank you!

Staff and food was wonderful as always, A perfect setting to celebrated a wedding anniversary.

The food was absolutely incredible. The staff were friendly and our server was so attentive. The setting is stunning, old world and gentle. A view of Deer Lake and greenery surrounds. Great wine selection with careful attention to uncommon vines.

Romantic, with service that has to be commended.
While the menu is small and manageable, chef is open to requests and mods if practical.
The dinner we had last night, and most nights, was fantastic. Both presentation and to the mouth, taste and texture were perfect.
Make a reservation, arrive with your loved ones, and spend the evening in a atmosphere 2nd to none in town

We enjoyed our lunch , the waitress was great , good service .

We were welcomed very warmly and shown to a beautiful table surrounded by windows looking out onto the radiant green lawn leading down to the lake. Our waiter was very personable and respectful, with a good sense of humour. The food and wine were both very good and the price was reasonable. The music was inappropriate for a restaurant of that ambience, but they were quick to turn it down when we asked. Is the decor ready for a refresher . . . or is the focus on keeping the original intact?

I’m not sure why but the restaurant has a weird odour. I don’t recall it smelling like this before. The food was mediocre. We had the special, halibut. Very quiet and service was good.

Had a great Thanksgiving dinner. Love the building and ambience, plenty of space, it was not noisy at all, staff was friendly and accomodating, there to serve when you needed, and ultimately just a great dining experience. I'll be back.

This is one of our favorite places to go and celebrate special occasions.

Another fantastic experience at Hart House. We love it here!

We didn’t know people could dine in the garden and reserved a table indoors. They put a bottle of wine for the table I wanted. But when I found outside was more pleasant, we were brought to a nice table outside. But the food is average.

First meal out since Covid-19 in March. Hart House protocols seemed very good. Not busy so physical distancing was not an issue. Meal was outstanding and the service was excellent.

A delight to continue going to a restaurant that keeps their high standard of cuisine , friendliness and incredible staff. Thank you

My husband This meeting had been delayed due to Covid19. Husband we both had moments of unnecessary anxiety; Hart House team had restaurant seating well spaced apart we felt very safe!!

A great evening. Noise level was high due to kids upstairs, not the restaurants fault.

Delightful experience aa we got to enjoy the view and peacefulness of the surroundings. It’s like dining outside the English countryside.

First time but not the last! Loved sitting outside on the patio enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine and great company, food was done perfectly! Service was good

We enjoyed our dinner there very much! I tried the chef's menu with wine pairing. It was a great choice! Highly recommend! The service was also very good. Thank you!

not your average lunch stop I would only use for special occasion

Midweek 6:45 reservation for a special occasion - what could go wrong? Well even though depressing empty they were already out of the two dishes we most craved based on reviews. We left, before it got worse. You have to try harder Hart House.

Had a really nice experience at the Hart House. Food was good, staff lovely and nice seating. We sat outside with a beautiful view and very COVID safe.
