"I had my first fabulous Canadian breastfast here with generous portions of awesome food. They even gave me a taste of their delicious "peameall" which I had never heard of before being from the states. Also, I asked if they could exchange the toast for a pancake which they graciously did. Awesome service & a great hearty breakfast!"

"Ordered the cottage burger platter with onion rings. Burger was phenomenal and Probably the best onion rings I’ve ever had. service was amazing, but there was only one server working and she seemed very overworked, wait time was a little long but worth it in the end. Also very affordable and not busy or loud at all."
