    Good Eats

    Stopped in for a couple beers and some appetizers. Ordered the nachos as well as the chicken quesadilla. Two pops. Bill was 65.00. A little steep for a snack but the nachos were good. Service was excellent. Will return again.

    A peasant surprise

    Had lunch on a beautiful sunny Friday on the patio. Shared salad and wings. Side of muskoka breweries Pilsner All excellent. Service could have been better. Servers appeared to randomly be assigned to tables rather than have areas. Would certainly go back.
