    Everyone is understaffed right now and Waupoos Restaurant is no exception. Just plan for a longer meal. The food is terrific. We bought a few bottles of the White Rabbit 2021 afterward. Yum.

    Had a lovely meal, stellar service by Sarah who worked alone all day into the evening. It was strange to be the only 6 guests, in the restaurant; especially since the Open Table app. insisted that I better be speedy in deciding to book one of the only 2 time slots available for a table on Sat., Sept. 23 for dinner.

    Beautiful spot nestled in the vineyards, on the lake. The food was so nice! Fresh local pickerel on a puréed vegetable bed was sublime. My friends all loved their dinners- fresh local farm to table dinners. Simple and lovely.

    Ambience: who can disagree with looking over a lake and a beautiful patio. Drink: They way over charge for the 3 ounces of wine they call a glass. And especially as this is PEC wine. This ain’t NOL. Food: Meh. Eggs Benedict. Had way better at Cora’s. The used Pork Belly. They could have used anything. It was tasteless. My wife had smoked salmon with “maple”. Server couldn’t describe what the maple was and didn’t matter, my wife never figured it either as there was no maple flavour. Service: We saw the server maybe 3 times. I saw other tables where the servers visited often. Maybe ours was packing to go back to school because she wasn’t doing her job. Go anywhere else.

    The restaurant was great 3 years ago. Now it has gone from great to bad. The chicken was overcooked and dessert was terrible. Sad to see this nice place reaching this state.

    Our meals were so delicious! You could tell the chef put so much thought and time into our meals. Our server was very attentive! We would definitely return again! It was such a nice surprise! Flowers or some sort of greenery would be a nice touch on the tables. Great wine as well! We are looking forward to our next visit! 🌸

    Food is way overpriced. $26 for what can only be described as an over-cooked frozen supermarket burger. Bland, tasteless, and the texture of rubber. I was still charged for half of it after taking a bite. I like to support local, and don’t kind paying these prices for decent food, but this was well below par. Service was otherwise good, decent ambience, but sadly, all let down by the food.

    Il y a deux ans, j'avais été impressionné par la qualité de la nourriture et c'est pourquoi je suis revenue sans réserve. Je ne sais pas si le chef a changé ou le concept mais c'était plutôt ordinaire comme menu. Je venais pour un repas gastronomique comme la dernière fois. Déjà en début de repas nous avions adoré la proposition du pain pita cuit sur place. Pour le même prix, cette fois-ci, quelle déception de voir du pain tranché... La soupe était trop salée. La salade composée de laitue et de graines de citrouilles était décevante. Pour le plat principal, le poulet était sèche et le steak, encore une fois trop salée, accompagné de pommes de terre grelots ratatinées, trop cuites, incapable de couper avec le couteau. Nous sommes partis très déçu car le lieu est magnifique et j'avais beaucoup aimé ce resto. Ce n'était peut-être pas un bon soir pour le chef ?

    We have come 1-2 times every summer for the last 3 years, this year we were told there is a new chef and the menu is a bit different. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the food, the server was attentive and great and it’s still a beautiful setting but the food previously was much more exciting for us. The previous menu options were always different and creative, sometimes pushing us to try new things or things we wouldn’t expect (asparagus ice cream!). The current menu felt more geared down to the standards - fish and chips, burger, chicken, steak. The food was prepared well and we had no complaints, we just don’t feel we will be craving and seeking out this spot the way we have in years past. My husband always said this was the best food he had ever had here and now we agree it is good but not exciting or creative. If you’re in the area or having an event it’s lovely and perfectly good food that is well prepared. It just won’t be drawing us in from 2 hrs away as is.

    Amazing experience, and quite a bonus to know that the food is all locally sourced (including many ingredients from the Waupoos property itself)! Service was great, very quick to receive our food and it all tasted phenomenal. Will definitely be back when we visit the county again :)

    This is a lovely venue - a round/octagonal building with windows on all sides. We all had eggs benedict (it was brunch) - some with smoked salmon and others with pulled pork. We also shared a small bread basket with scones and an excellent Reisling. A great option for brunch.

    We weren't impressed. My soup had a skin layer on it like it has sat for a while. The food was ok but nothing special. We are used to great food in Montreal & found the menu dull. Our steak came with massive oily potato wedges. Not crisp or fluffy. Plus there were dead flies on the windows..kind of gross. Can't say we will return in a hurry. Maybe it was the chef's day off.

    We went to Waupoos during Countylicious and enjoyed a very nice meal with friends who were new to the County. The food was very good as was the wine. We had a great server and it was an overall very pleasant experience. I would go again. I did find it a bit noisy as there were no soft furnishings to dampen things, but it wasn't very busy and we were soon one of only two remaining tables (it was very early in the season). Once again the County delivers on good, local food that is well-made and served in a great environment.
