    Our waitress Kelsey was attentive and friendly…. Did an excellent job describing cocktails, apps, entrees and wine …. There were two people dining and our bill was $320+ tip. We shared beef Demi bread which was excellent , Boston lettuce salad also very good, we also had duck fat potatoes- these were good flavour but not crispy enough for us, and the finally which was the biggest disappointment of all ! The 20 oz ribeye steak We ordered it rare and it was rare but huge muscle thru it and tougher then a aaa 28 day aged steak should be . I can live with that but when the steak came they cut it up into thin strips … that was so insulting to a $128 dollar steak. U would expect the pieces to be at least an inch think. So at the end of the day we were disappointed! We also had a bottle of wine and one cocktail each so u understand why the bull is a little higher lol

    Our server was absolutely lovely. Very friendly, knowledgable, and on top of things. I’m not a blue cheese person, so I was wary of trying the beef bread. They assured me, and I’m glad I trusted them. It was out of this world. We had the ribeye with the chimichurri, the burger, and the brussel sprouts for our mains, and everything was outstanding. We aren’t from the area, but look forward to returning! 10/10

    The problem last night was the table beside us left just after we got our drinks and the waitress came to clean the table and sprayed the table down with something that immediately got into our drinks and in our lungs and all of us started coughing. It was in our throats and the two of us that were the closest had it the worst. If the food was in front of us at that time I would have sent it back. On a positive note, the food was very good and yes we will come back. Just tell the person who cleans tables to be mindful of those close by.

    Vibe and eclectic (steak-focused) menu. Upscale restaurant with an unpretentious feel. Interesting take on burrata salad - very tasty. Halibut filet was perfect and the dessert - Brand New Chou - wow! A must-visit while in Orillia!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal before a concert at the Orillia Opera House. We shared Burrata Salad, Sour Dough Bread, 16oz Rib Eye, Heritage Carrots, Duck Fat Potatoes and to top it off, Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert. Everything was so delicious and sharing everything made the whole meal affordable. Our waitress Kelsie was so accommodating, kind and helpful which made our experience special.

    Excellent Sunday dinner. Chop house potatoes are great. Maybe don't smoke ALL the servings on the plate to allow for a wider palate and break from smoke flavour. Great ambiance.
