Hands down the best restaurant in the area. My wife had been there a few times and said it was so good and I was very impressed.

Very nice dining experience with a great view and same food . Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. Only negative was a little less attention by waitstaff. Could have offered more beverage service . And a request for ice was made three times before getting results . Also beware of mosquitoes! Staff did light repellent candles toward end of meal after we requested. Recommend the pickerel ..

4 days of incredible meals on a MAP plan.
We were assigned a table in the sun room overlooking 12 Mile Lake and that table was ours only for the duration of our visit.
They do take reservations from outside guests. Breakfast is $22.95 pp, 3 course dinner is $60 and 4 course is $68. They do not serve lunch but Inn guests will find the 2 meals are sufficient. Breakfast starts with juice, a cold offering of yogurt and muffin to share and fresh fruit followed by hot entrees of your choice. Pancakes are made with local Red Fife flour and Maple Syrup- the real thing!!

Dinner consists of choice of soup or salad, an appetizer, entree and dessert (commonly a type of cheesecake or flan). Menus change daily so there is lots of variety. Our favourites were melt in your mouth beef tenderloin and the crispy pork schnitzel. James is a saucier - his expertise is the crowning glory! Plates are beautifully presented and often garnished with fresh herbs from their planters.

This restaurant is a gem and as good as any in the cities!

Food and view were great as usual although service was very slow. Took 10 minutes just to get a menu after being seated.

Kudos to co owner and chef James. The food, presentation and service are all fabulous.

We were Lodge guests with a MAP. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious with lovely presentations and large portions. Dinner is available by reservation for non guests. The 4 course dinner has a fixed price of $62. It includes a basket of fresh warm rolls, soup or salad, an appetizer, an entree and dessert. Seating is in a large spacious dining room while Inn guests are accommodated in the Lakeview Room. The view over 12 Mile Lake is lovely. You are assigned to a table for your entire stay and no one else sits there. Before entering, your temperature is taken.

Service is friendly and efficient. We had the pleasure of a couple of high school girls who were quick to tell you they were under age and couldn’t serve alcohol. We enjoyed their exuberance!

But the star is the food. The meals are very special - beautifully presented and not one complaint!
Breakfast comes in 2 parts- individual bowls of fresh fruit with yogurt and a large muffin to share followed by your choice of entree. Maple syrup is the real thing from a local producer as are the jams!

For dinner, the choice between soup and salad may be difficult- the butternut squash soup is a work of art but the artisan salads are colourful and delicious.Our favourite appetizers were the jumbo shrimp cocktail, baked Brie pockets with blueberry compote and Camembert fritters with raspberry coulis. The mains are amazing- melt in your mouth Prime Rib, Pork tenderloin with cinnamon spiced apples and a crisp tender Pork Schnitzel to name a few.
Desserts are decadent- a variety of cheesecakes, deep dish pecan pie and mile high lemon meringue pie - almost always to take away!!
This dining room is amazing - give it a try!
