    There was a Batchelor Party with 12 guys who brought their own radio and played their music very load. They also were very load with vulgar language. At no time did any staff try to stop them considering the rest of the Patrons. I live in that community and I am not sure I would return.

    Wonderful experience! We came here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and was greeted by very friendly staff and complimentary champagne. The service was excellent and the food was amazing!! The view from the patio overseeing the lake and watching the sunset was exquisite. I’d definitely come back here

    Excellent place to eat with good food, although the menu has changed in the past few months. Missed the wraps! Make sure you take a credit card as no cash is accepted at Lora Bay

    The food was very good albeit on the pricey side. This is the third time I have had lunch there and they still don’t have any sparkling water aside from soda. Surely it is not a big deal to bring in Montclair or Perrier or something equivalent. Soda just doesn’t cut it! For the money, I also do not expect to get ketchup, vinegar etc. in plastic pouches. A few more vegetarian/vegan options would also be a good idea.

    We just enjoyed the most beautiful lunch out on the Lora Bay Grill patio. Our server was excellent and perfectly attentive. Plus, there's no better view on the Bay!

    Sitting outside on the outdoor patio with views of the bay and the golf course was absolutely gorgeous. We both ordered the lemon and chive salmon which was cooked to perfection, a healthy portion and definitely delicious. When in the Thornbury/Lora Bay Area this will definitely be my restaurant of choice. Compliments to the chef!!

    Our server Jean was excellent, she even brought more comfortable chairs from indoors for our table of 5. Food also excellent. We had a wonderful afternoon chatting and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
