We ate dinner on the patio. Nice atmosphere, nice view, great tasting appetizers, bread, entrees, wine, and dessert. Service was good and waitress was very accommodating to take our picture and exchange pleasantries. Overall I would reserve and eat here again when we are in Elora.

Loved this spot. Had to sit outside because of a large booking inside, so we were a little chilly. No worry - the server brought us super cozy blankets. We all had pizza - really, really good! Will definitely return - highly recommended!

Most terrible service we have ever experienced. They had a wedding going on at the same time. We got beverages and appetizer in a timely manner. We ordered a pizza and the meat and veg plate. After waiting 40 minutes with no contact from our server we asked when our meals would be coming we were told 10 more minutes. We then went to find the server again for an update and told the the meat plate takes 1 hour to cook from ordering (lie) and I asked why this wasn't advised upon ordering and was given an apology. We then decided to settle our bill and leave as we were over the 1 hour mark. Meanwhile other tables that had come after us had been getting their meals. Manager came over and told us they were short staffed and the play takes an hour to cook which I advised we should have been told upon ordering so we could decide if we wanted to wait. I also advised a pizza does not take long to make and that was not even offered to us first. Excuse after excuse she gave us and did not seem sincere at all. she brought us our bill upon our request ...did not comp or discount any of it for the awful experience. Do not recommend and will never return. When they have a wedding booked they should focus on That alone and close the restaurant to other patron as they clearly cannot handle both!
