Overall, if anyone wants to make a quick pitstop with a view and meet kind people, this is the place check out.

The store itself was deep and narrow. Most people having their coffee to go! I too don't want to stay in packed coffee shop when the weather was nice and sunny. Coffee was ok. I do like they have some Espresso based drinks. Right next to a laundromat, they do get a lot of customers coming in for a coffee while their clothes being wash/dry.

I never ever usually give 5 stars ever but after my wonderful dinner at Lakeside last night its…read morereally my only choice. We were invited there by our friend Dorothy and her husband Gord. She is a local Realtor whom we done business with for years. My brother and his wife arrived first and was a bit early and the owner greeted them warmly and as he knew there were 3more of us coming without even being asked he asked a gentleman to move over one seat and brought over a couple of others stools so by the time I arrived I had a great seat at the bar waiting for me. Now for the Bar Tender....once again she was exceedingly warm and friendly and was delighted to tell us about the house drinks. I decided to ask it they had Margueritas as they weren't on the drink menu. She then carefully went over the different types of Tequila I could choose from which included Patron my personal favourite. She then created the best Margarita Ive ever had. My brother and his wife had Gin and Tonics created with the same care and flair as were the Virgin Ceasars ordered by our friends. We then were moved to our table and were warmly welcomed by our charming Kiwi waitress who had a wonderful sense of humour and provided terrific attentive service throughout our meal. Now for the food...I chose the Mulligatawny soup which was delicious and the Prime Rib which came with roast potatoes perfect Yorkshire pudding and a medley of beautifully cooked fresh vegetables which even included parsnips which as a transplanted Brit I thought was a creative touch... even the red wine gravy was spot on. My sister in law had The Blackened Mahi Mahi out friends both had the chicken supreme and my brother the seafood casserole. Each of these dishes was prepared with great care were creatively garnished and had generous portions... none of those tiny haute cuisine portions here.... We left stuffed but not before sampling their creme brulet which was also perfect. While outside after dinner I encountered the kitchen staff and they were equally friendly and interesting and we shared our passion for great food. Both my brother and I share a passion for great food and are no strangers to the kitchen. When guests come to our family cottage they are always delighted with our fare but once in awhile its nice to get away and let someone else do the work. Often Im disappointed when my dinner arrives has skimpy portions and I sit there thinking I could have made it better myself... theres none of that here! At the end of the day it comes down from the top as wise owners appreciate their staff and while setting high standards ensure that each staff member is treated fairly and with respect. It was apparent that each of the staff we met were happy to work there in this warm collegial environment. The final touch was that as I couldn't eat all my main course I asked our server if I could take it to go. Rather than simply drop a takeout container on the table she took it in the back packaged it up and returned it as we were leaving... we were sent off with the same warmth as when we were greeted and left feeling we had made some new friends... we can't wait to go back!....Crisco

There are people arriving and leaving on boats docking directly at the patio; giving a very different vibe to most patios in Ontario. There is a great hot and cold cafe menu, a well stocked bar, and a good selection of sandwiches. It is a bit on the pricier side; but the backyard patio is worth the extra couple of bucks. Food is brought to the table - a nice touch! This is also a tourist store with a good variety of homewares and local pottery and crafts.

Everything looked beautiful and you could tell a lot of care goes into what they make. The smell of fresh baking hits you right away, and it took me forever to decide what to get because everything in the display looked amazing. The staff were also so kind and welcoming. They were patient while we looked through all the options and happy to answer questions. We ended up trying the sourdough strawberry cheesecake croissant and WOW. Honestly life-changing. The croissant was flaky and buttery, the strawberry cheesecake filling was rich without being too sweet, and the whole thing just worked perfectly together. Every bite was amazing. I also picked up their cheddar dill sourdough loaf and absolutely loved it. The bread was fresh, soft on the inside with a great crust, and had so much flavour. The cheddar and dill combination was delicious and made it stand out from a regular sourdough loaf. You can really tell they use quality ingredients and bake everything fresh. Overall, this place was a 10/10 for me. If you're in Parry Sound, I would absolutely recommend stopping by. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

The ambiance is lovely and welcoming with a beautiful patio that features heaters for the cooler evenings. There is also live entertainment on some nights. The summer cocktail selection is impressive and we all enjoyed them to kick off the experience. The menu is quite limited which is not a bad thing for a restaurant focused on quality but I still found it to be a bit too limited. The wine selection is also quite limited. If you love your wines, like I do, I would bring my own and gladly pay the corkage fee. We had a little bit of everything from meats to pasta and fish. We shared for the table so that we each had the opportunity to try everything. There was nothing to complain about but it didn't "wow" us. In speaking with some longtime locals, I think the popularity of this place has meant that they no longer need to go above and beyond to satisfy the local crowd and cottagers who don't mind spending a lot on a nice night out. It was just that - a nice night out.
