We were looking for a nice place to eat in Orillia for an anniversary date and this restaurant made it to the top of our list. We were very happy with our choice! Although the menu wasn't particular large, we both found many dishes we wanted to try. We started with the mussels and really enjoyed them. The bread served with it was very fresh and fun to dip in the white wine cream sauce. I ordered the stuffed pork chop and loved it! The pork chop was delicious and I loved how much of the blueberry and goat cheese stuffing they were able to fit inside. The cranberry and bacon jam also added an additional layer of flavour on top of that. The potatoes were great and the veggies were very fresh. My partner got the 8oz striploin and loved it as well. From the bite I got it seemed to be cooked to perfection. The service here was also very good, though meals of this quality do take a while to prepare. For anyone looking for fine dining in Orillia this would definitely be my suggestion. Whenever we return to the area I know we'll be back here to try more of their spectacular menu!

After a week of camping and roughing it, we wanted to end our vacation on a high note, so we consulted Yelp and decided to give this place a try. We had a pretty mixed experience overall, and I honestly wish it had been a little better. We sat at an outside table, since the weather was very nice. Our server, who was REALLY awesome, also seemed to be overworked a bit. I'm not sure if he was handling the entire restaurant by himself, but he seemed to have too many tables, and was having issues with a slow kitchen perhaps. We were not in any rush or anything, but it seemed like a longer dinner than we'd really planned for. So, their beer menu was nothing interesting, basically just macro beers, so we decided to go with a couple of cocktails. I got a Caesar, and Lee went with a Moscow Mule, both signature drinks. These were fabulous, with a nice taste and a good balance of alcohol and flavor. We also decided to order the confit duck poutine as a starter. The poutine was a smidge light on the fries, but we got a whole meaty duck leg, which was a nice touch - we shredded the meat ourselves into the dish. It had a nice, tasty gravy and nicely melted curds. It was the mains where things kinda fell apart for us. They were out of the pickerel dish, so I had to think for a bit for what I wanted. I decided to go for the half rack of lamb, and Lee went for the Ribeye. The seasonal/daily vegetable was a local rice in a honey sauce. The sauce in the rice was so overwhelmingly sweet that it was on the verge of inedible. It also leaked into the rest of the dish, so much so that Lee's steak tasted sweet, and my vegetables were pretty overwhelmed. In hindsight, we should have sent both dishes back, but we're both really shy about doing that, and we ended up just eating it. We almost never ask for salt, but we both asked for some to combat the sweetness of the rice. Overall, I think I'd come back here for drinks and maybe a light snack, but for an overall dinner experience, it was just disappointing.

Maybe I have high expectation for Era 67. Their website looks amazing and I just love the concept of having something that is fresh, sourced locally and Canadian. Love the atmosphere of Era 67, classy but modern and the service is excellent too! We shared 2 appetizers and 2 mains, the description in the menu just sounded so awesome and hard to resist. Era67 Poutine($8) - In-house fresh cut Yukon Gold fries, seasoned with duck jus lie, duck thigh conct, garlic curds, topped with crispy fried leeks Hickory Smoked Duck Breast and Trio of Beet Salad ($12) - In-House cherry smoked locally, raised, organic, free range breast of duck from North River Farms. Paired with a combination of candy cane, golden and cylinder Cookstown Greens beets over a bed of fire roasted lime and dill creme fraiche topped with baby arugula, stilton cheese, candied pecans and drizzled with local, orillia honey roasted garlic champagne vinaigrette Jigg's Two Puck Osso Bucco ($27) - Thick cut veal shank braised with fire roasted tomatoes, mirepoix and fresh herbs in a white wine broth resting atop a homemade skillet seared Bala cranberry Bannock Bread Pudding and topped with a traditional gremolata Duck Duo Risotto ($25) - In-house cherry smoked locally, raised, organic, free range breast of duck from North River Farms. Paired with a conct drumstick over a bed of saffron and Balderson 3 year old cheddar simmered in our white wine duck stock enveloped with oyster mushrooms, rainbrow of grape tomatoes and wilted baby arugula topped with Cajun toasted walnuts and a spiced port Bala cranberry coulis Stay away from the duck as I found aside from the poutine which was the best part of the meal.. the rest of the duck was a little disappointing. Most of the duck items were dry, bland and uninspiring. Sadly even the Osso Bucco was really dry.... The beer selection on tap is minimum but with selection from local breweries including Muskoka Brewing in the area.

This place in my opinion is the best fine dining in Orillia. The steaks are amazing and there are some great specials most nights. If you are looking for something a little more upscale than this is the place.

Ok Era 67, you had me at "Delivery"! Our party of 8 was picked up from the cozy home front of our Orillia friends and delivered on time for our 7 o'clock reservation with a return ticket in hand! Can you say, "Pass me another bottle of vino please?" Aside from providing common sense customer server and due diligence we were greeted with the smiles and warmth of tastefully dressed staff and the pleasantries of the acoustic guitar. I needed a moment as the smell of meat confit and garlic began to hit me in waves when dancing visions of Cabernet began in my head. We were escorted through what I would describe as the coziest dining room as there wasn't an awkward table in site; to our private room with our own window view of the kitchen .How lucky am I?; Dinner and a Show. I have always felt a level of anxiety for kitchens that remain in open view of their guest as it takes an extremely disciplined individual to avoid habitual personal routines; if you know what I'm saying ;) Professional and aware the kitchen remained; and I couldn't wait to select my 3 course meal. This is more difficult for me than you can imagine and luckily my guests enjoy by inability to make a decision as they enjoy the cocktail hour. The worst part is I took a sneak peak at their menu 2 days prior and I still was struggling with indecision. To start I was torn between the Poppyseed Clementine and Baby Bocconcini Spinach Salad vs the Trio of Hush Puppy Lollipop Fondue. I was quickly reminded of my accident prone abilities and opted to avoid the communal pot and spirit lamp; which by the way doesn't come with the Fondue. Better to be safe than sorry I always say. The salad was fresh and tangy; but I was not overly impressed that it had a side of deep-fried battered cheese; I felt an un -battered sharp cheese would have complimented the salad brilliantly. Perhaps the tempura cheese stick wasn't meant to compliment but rather used to finish the dish with swooping motions of gratitude to ensure every ounce of their homemade dressing wasn't left untouched. Smart! In between meals I was reminded of my OCD tendencies as I kept trying to grab the crooked spoon illustrated on our placemats. It got me 3 times. I wasn't alone on that one and I'd like to officially say that 2 out of 8 people struggle with this issue. I choose the Roasted Red Pepper and Green Peppercorn Steak (no surcharge added) for my entrée; which was cooked perfect and presented beautifully as was the other four options I politely had a side of. I am grateful for my friends. Final touches; will it be the cheesecake or the butter tart? Hands down the cheesecake! I did manage to shovel in some butter tart which oddly enough had smarties on it??? Different; but I'll revert back to the old saying, "If it's not broken don't fix it". What's left to say; Shannon our server was awesome, the owner popped in to say hi and express his gratitude and we had a ball. A spot that both looks good and tastes good. Thank you Era 67 for a great evening!

Cute spot in the town of Orillia! I was visiting with my aunt and we went down onto the main strip near the beach for some dinner! We looked up spots online prior and found reviews for this restaurant! We had a great fish and chip meal and tacos with a duck poutine! It was scrumptious! We also shared some beers and caesars and sat on their outdoor patio which was great in the summer!

Probably one of the very few fine dining restaurants in the Orillia area located somewhat close to Casino Rama. Make sure you book well in advance. We did and fortunately the staff was very accommodating right to the day of, squeezing us in to a superior time slot. The Food and service was top notch. We will definitely visit again.
