My friends and I had no intention to eat here, but out of a lack of options nearby we settled for the Cellar. It was a late lunch so I wasn't surprised at how empty it was. But it was a cozy little restaurant with a great patio. The server was extremely friendly and welcomed us in. Since I am vegetarian I chose the quinoa veggie burger and my friends decided to share a shrimp pasta and mushroom crostini. My burger comes with cheese, aioli, and a side of fries, however I asked if I could get the salad instead of fries, which did cost an additional $2. I also asked for no dairy. The server happily made those accommodations for me. The food arrived within 10-15 minutes. My friends raved about their meal. Mine was pretty good as well. My only complaint was that the burger patty was extremely crumbly and would just fall apart with every attempt of a bite. Furthermore the side salad was tiny, which I felt was not worth the additional charge. This restaurant is on the pricier side, but overall It was a hit and I would certainly come again when I visit Elora.

Stopped in here for a late lunch on a cold, rainy Sunday afternoon in Elora. The ambiance was nice, and had the weather been warmer, we could have enjoyed a view of the river from their outdoor patio. We had their special of the day, which was an apple and brie soup, which was surprisingly good. The sweetness of the apples paired well with the creaminess of the brie. I was quite surprised at how much I liked it, given I don't tend to like sweet dishes, unless they are for dessert. Along with the soup, we had a schnitzel, topped with melted mozzarella, served on a toasted brioche bun, with lettuce, onion, and tomato, and a splash of aioli. Honestly, the schnitzel would have been even better without the brioche and tomato, etc. It was delicious on it's own(I took several bites without bun etc), but I found the accompanying bun and condiments to "blandify" the entire dish. I told our hostess that the schnitzel really deserves to be on it's own, but that is really only my opinion. To each their own! I would eat here again.

This place is fantastic. I decided to try it out on a whim and could not have been more pleased. We were sat on their well-shaded patio overlooking the Grand. We ordered the calamari to start, with two beers, stuffed chicken breast and the Basa fish fillet. The calamari was lightly breaded and came with a delightful aioli. It wasn't fishy or chewy. It was incredibly delicious. They have a quality selection of local beers. We ordered the Grand River Brewing borealis and the goodlot farmhouse ale. Both were superb and went nicely with our order. The stuffed chicken was cooked perfectly and they presented it on the plate with its basmati rice, grilled asparagus and carrots nicely. If you decide to try this place (you absolutely should), book a reservation as it is on the smallish side and I saw several groups of people looking for space on the patio to no avail.

I recently dined at this restaurant, and unfortunately, it was quite a disappointing experience. First of all the margarita was made by the waitress and not a bar tender with a pre made mixture, even though we asked to not have any syrup in the drink to not have it sweet, it was the opposite! The food was mediocre at best. The short rib was tough and far from tender, the Chicken Parmesan was bland, drowned in a tasteless pool of tomato purée, and the Pesto Chicken was just okay, nothing special. The atmosphere left much to be desired—dull and uninspired, which was a shame given the great location with such beautiful views. The one redeeming factor was the friendly service from one of the waiters, but even that wasn’t consistent across the staff. We paid a premium for a absolutely tasteless night. All in all, not an experience I’d be eager to repeat.

One of the best dining experiences ever. We were revisiting this restaurant after a few years of not being to Elora. It’s a wonderful relaxing little spot backing onto the river. Jemma was so friendly & welcoming, she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. It was a bit chilly and we were sat near the outdoor heater but even offered us Blankets so we could keep warm! They gladly accommodated my friends food allergy which was so appreciated as dining out can sometimes be a challenge. The food was Excellent !!!! So much so that other guests around us were also speaking amongst each other about how great their meals were. You definitely get what you pay for and the portion size was impressive. Five stars from us ! We will definitely visit next time we’re in town :) thank you for a great evening .

Lovely server, and absolutely wonderful view from the patio overlooking the river. I had the Quinoa burger, and I wish I had chosen something else. It wasn't bad, perhaps a trifle bland but it was quite brittle. Every time I took a bite, the patty crumbled onto my plate. Mind you, I think they realized that, as there was a lot of cheese on top I think in an effort to hold everything together. And I admit the cheese was tasty. Again - it wasn't bad just a trifle disappointing. And my tablemates enjoyed their fish and chips, wraps and salads. So I'd go again and choose a different menu option. There's no direct parking, but there's lots of parking on the roads around there.
