I think the mainstay of a great place to eat is the staff and the Cabin at Hockley Valley leaves nothing to be desired. Our Favorite server their is Raj, ask to sit in his section, he's just the very best at what he does. The food....what can I say, I proposed to my wife in Cabins dining room because it's her favorite place to eat in the whole of Dufferin. Handmade cheeses and Saluki, pickled veg and Italian mainstays reimagined. Inspired seafood and fresh pasta. I have never been disappointed with a single cocktail, app, entre or desert I've ordered, and I have eaten the entire menu....twice. Do yourself a favor and order a kitchen tasting (or two), always made fresh on the fly and always amazing. The barrel aged Negroni is always a great choice. I love the Babbo/Cabin Caesar. Handmade bacon vodka, house made rimmer and candied bacon topper make it one of the best Ceasars I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and eat at the Cabin.

We received a set menu with appetizer, entree, and dessert. We had 4-5 choices which were good. I ordered the Caesar salad, the salmon, and the sticky toffee pudding. The salmon was delicious, especially liked the local sweet corn puree. It was pretty affordable even with such a large group. I would come back if I'm in area.

The service was pretty good, and we got to sit outdoors on the patio on a beautiful sunny day - one simply can't ask for a better dining experience. One complaint from a couple in our party was the coffee tasted and smelled like dish soap. I didn't order coffee myself but perhaps it wouldn't hurt to run an extra cycle of rinsing before serving with those mugs.

This place is pretty good. I looked up a nice place to eat some local food. This place received…read moresome awesome reviews. So thought we'd check it out. Short wait time to get a table. In spite of the time told to us by the hostess. It was our first time there. Our orders were placed. Yet the food seemed to take a long time to get to our table. Meanwhile others got seated after us and their food was out to them, shortly after they sat and ordered. Catfish burger 11/10. Portobello mushroom burger 7/10. It seemed to be missing something. Salads were phenomenal 10/10. Mac'n'cheese, another 10/10. And I never eat that. At all, it was really, really good. Top of the line. The staff were friendly, yet I couldn't help but notice how it seemed our table lacked attention in getting served. I dont know if its because my friend and I were out of towners. I asked twice for hot sauce that was actually given to our table from a different server than the one who took our order. And she was the second person I asked. Mind you it was fairly busy and I understand that. I appreciated learning of the history of the restuarant. In it being originally a bakery and then taken over by the son-in-law. Maintaining the quality and integrity of the food coming out of the kitchen. Definitely nice to hear and not something experienced often in the big city. My friend and I live in Toronto. The washroom I felt was a little close to the dining area. I think there needs to be some more separateness between the dine area, the washrooms and the kitchen. Smells tend to linger. I also didn't enjoy how they use billybee honey instead of a local one. Aside from that. Great restuarant with a wonderful mission. Will likely return.

Was in the mood for a classic eggs and bacon breakfast so ordered their Original breakfast with 3 eggs, home fries, toast, and coffee. The eggs although small were cooked as ordered, sunny side up. Their bacon was greasy and cold, and the home fries were just deep fried out of a bag and flavorless. The coffee was bottomless but as it didn't taste that fresh, I only had one cup. Not much here to bring me back and frankly I wish I didn't stop in. I don't recommend.
