3.5 stars really. Four stars for ambience, three for food and service…read more Seek out this up-North remote vacation pub/dining room for a relaxing dinner. It is not in the town, but on the small woodsy north peninsula. Clean, roomy, with a beautiful view of the harbor from the multi-level deck. Although the view was obscured somewhat by the folded umbrella, umbrella support, condiment basket, and railing. All of which are necessary I suppose. We were there in early fall after the holiday, so it was peaceful and quieter than the drinking party crowd eateries in the town. It is a small building, interior decor was "dining hall at camp". Whitefish dinner was good, not great. Both fish and veg slightly overcooked. Was fish frozen and thawed instead of being fresh? It had that slightly steamed quality that should not be in fresh fish. It tasted good though. My companion had ribs with Carolina sauce. Now, we don't expect true barbecue smoke and heat in this region, but ribs were (there's a theme here) overcooked. They seem to have been par-boiled, then grilled to finish when ordered. Sauce described as "hot" was about once notch zippier than bland. Fries (chips?) were good. All was attractively plated and presented. Drinks list had a good assortment for such a small business this remote, they had something for every taste. Server was friendly and cheery, but fey and disorganized. She would answer half a question, disappear for a long time, then come back to answer another question. When she brought our meals, she plopped them down and disappeared. I had a question about an unexpected item on my plate (I have a few allergies) and it took nearly ten minutes to get someone's attention - the place was not that busy then. When it was time for our check, we had to wait and track her down again. Very annoying, as we were tired from driving most of the day and wanted to return to our motel. Not a fancy place by city standards, but good for such a remote seasonal location. I would go again, just lower your expectations some.

Lion's Head Inn and Restaurant is conveniently located by Lion's Head Beach and Harbour, 15-minute…read morewalk from one of the trailheads for Bruce Trail (leading to Lion's Head lookout viewpoints), and walking distance from many cottages and B&Bs in the area. The interior is pretty nice and cozy, with wooden-accent furniture that gives a somewhat rustic feel. They have a space extension (similar to an accessory dwelling unit) that acts as extra dining space with open windows (so it feels like you're sitting on a very covered patio with fresh air). Service was fast, but the food was just so-and-so. There were only 1-2 vegetarian items on the menu, and no vegan option (understandable, given that it's a restaurant / pub in a small cottage town). Portion size was decent. The Garden Salad was fresh and crisp. The Burrito Bowl consisted of white rice, black beans, some lettuce, shredded cheese (which you can ask to omit or have on the side), and nacho chips. It came served with salsa and sour cream on the side. It wasn't like the traditional Mexican burrito bowl you'd get at authentic Mexican restaurants, but it was okay and I was just glad to have warm food after hours of hiking in the rain and cool weather. We felt kind of rushed after eating. Right after we finished our plates, they were taken away and we were presented with the bill. This was understandable, given that they want lots of table turnaround to give room for the next customers. But when we wanted a more slowed down and relaxing sit-down experience (especially after hiking), I wished they could've let us stay and sit a bit longer without feeling rushed to get out.

This is our second visit to the Inn. We really enjoy the setting. It is an actual Inn which feels…read morequaint and intimate. Seating areas are small so it never feels too loud or congested. On a nice day, the outdoor seating is lovely. Our server greeted us promptly and allowed us to select our table as the restaurant was not busy around 5:00 pm on a Thursday evening. She was so friendly and helpful with an engaging sense of humor. We decided to share two entree and it was more than filling. The dinner salad was so crisp and tasty, a perfect fall selection. It paired nicely with the Shepard pie. Enjoyed the upscale pub choices. The prices were in-line with the area and a bit more than what we tend to pay for a nice meal in our hometown in MI. Hey, it's vacation! On a busy summer evening, I can imagine that the wait would be long and the service might not be so relaxed. Thankful for so many tasty small restaurants in this quaint community. These people work hard and we appreciate them.
