Excellent food with a smaller menu so they are focussed on quality. Great selection of wines. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend the Hart House for a more formal dining experience.

I can't recommend this place enough, amazing food , service , ambiance, very friendly staff the chef even come to our table to talk about the octopus, 5 stars all the way !

We had table for five near the fireplace well spaced from others. Everything was just excellent and we really enjoyed our Christmas lunch.

Great venue, great service, fancy but less than excellent food

Lovely time of year for dinner hear. A bit cold so west a sweater

My friends and I had a lovely time. Everyone enjoyed the food and setting. The staff were great.

It's a great place for lunch or dinner; been there on both occasions with friends and families. Very nice location; quiet, with a nice view - open and green. Staff are friendly.

Hart House for lunch was amazing! We had an extra person show up that had originally declined and they accommodated them by moving us to a larger table that was available. The specials were great options and the food delicious.....especially the desserts! The service was impeccable....always there to provide us what we needed but didn't hover over us! Thanks, Hart House staff for a great lunch!

It was good

Never again

Lunch menu dreadful.

Poached eggs pasta with meatballs weird

Eggy choices

No desserts

2 hours .

Boring

Our 3rd visit here. For a birthday. Food had all been sitting for so long under the heatlamps that the wagyu burger we ordered was burning hot on the top (the bun, literally too hot to eat for 10 mins after arriving at table) and really so overcooked it tasted like something that was previously frozen.

The clams/mussels were the same. Burning hot from sitting under the heatlamps for so long.

Assuming due to covid related staffing issues but was a really disappointing experience this time.

Service was okay but slow (we had a 5 oclock table so the restaurant was not busy at all) and the restaurant itself is as beautiful as ever but the food was just not up to par. Really disappointed. 300$ for a 2 person meal and really felt like we had wasted our money.

We won't be back.

They were so gracious when the other couple in our party arrived past the 2pm cut-off for putting orders in for brunch, and took them about 10 past 2pm.
The pricing is so reasonable for such a classy place, definitely coming back in the next few months!

We had an amazing brunch. Our server was very kind and helpful. Would definitely be back for brunch again!

Terrific food and excellent service. Outstanding mussels and clams. Desserts were creative and tasty as always

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our brunch at the Hart House. The food was good, the service was excellent, the view was lovely and we were able to do a lovely walk around Deer Lake after brunch. I highly recommend!

Everything was beyond fantastic, such a great experience, highly recommended

We have loved this restaurant in the past but this time we were disappointed with the menu and the wine list was lacking.

A lovely place to have brunch. Good food, great service.

First time to dine in at Hart House Restaurant and its beyond my expectations!The food taste really good and the surrounding was so nice and the staff and server are very nice and definitely we are coming back again! And thank you for making our special day as memorable😍

The seafood pasta was good. Would have been nice to have a side accompany the dish. Especially at this price. I would offer everyone a small scoop of lime ice before and after dishes to cleanse the pallet. The staff was very accomodating, professional and all seemed quite Happy to be there to serve us and assist each other.

Hart House is a restaurant we have been to several times over the years but never for brunch . It is a unique heritage house set on a beautiful property overlooking Deer Lake. We were seated by friendly welcoming staff at a lovely fireside table. We started with a fresh crisp mimosa and decided to try the special crab bennie and vegie cheese frittata for our mains. Both dishes accompanied by home made roasted potatoes chunks were generous and cooked to perfection. Our server was friendly and efficient and kept us topped up with water, coffee and tea. We chatted and lingered and felt welcome to do so. The atmosphere is relaxed but still feels like a special treat. We will be back soon to enjoy the dinner menu.

Perfect place for special occasions or a date night.

it was goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

Excellent in all respects.

Matthew was excellent.

It was my mother’s 90th birthday and the management ,staff and waiter made her feel so special. They were light hearted and joyful in her celebration. The food was excellent.Atmosphere and surrounding was amazing.Dessert was a gift on the restaurant.
If everything goes well I would love to be back there same time next year for mom‘s 91st birthday. They couldn’t do anymore than they did to make her night so wonderful .thank you

Visiting the Hart House Restaurant is like stepping back in time. The location is convenient though the whole vibe is relaxed and out of the hustle and bustle of the city. The food was excellent, we were seated by the fireplace and we could carry on a conversation without yelling over music or restaurant noise. The staff is very professional and helpful.

It has been for a while to come back since covid
Definitely I will go back again

This restaurant is great nice place gives that old rustic feel.

Its always a pleasure to eat at the Hart House. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is lovely and the service is wonderful.

Food was amazing! It’s my second ltime at Hart house (first time was yrs ago but remember food was good)
The chefs definitely know how to do a good job! The layers, flavours, portions are all just perfect. Choice of ingredients is delicate. Service was great, vibe was so good. Next time I will try to go on a weekend.

Delicious food in a lovely setting. It is an old house with great atmosphere. I loved the snowy table linens and sparkling glasses. The service was just right. Attentive but not intrusive. I plan to go again soon.

It was a spur of the moment decision to dine out. Luckily they had a reservation open for our preferred time slot. When we arrived, the dining room was nearly full and the atmosphere was buoyant! We were greeted with smiles and attentive staff. We ordered our meals and a bottle of the recommended wine pairing… excellent choice! Meals were delicious and just the right size. I hate being overwhelmed with so much food that I either feel guilty for not finishing, or I overstuff myself and regret it later. I’ve been here before and will definitely be coming back. Lovely heritage house in a splendid setting by the lake. One of my faves!!

Nice food, ambiance and location. Service is great!

Nice ambience, good service and generally reliably good foor

It was my wife’s birthday dinner and the attention to detail, service and food were excellent.

My wife has dietary restriction and they gladly accommodated.

We will be definitely going back.

Quite expensive and a very small wine list. The wine I did try to order was sold out. The food was very good

It was wonderful! My first time there, not to be my last! Service was exemplary and the whole experience was great! Because it was so quiet and later in the evening, we had the room to ourselves! I really enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you!

Another awesome experience at Hart House!!! Highly recommended!!

Went for brunch with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. The ambience was lovely. Our server was very good and knowledgeable. They were never in a hurry and we had a very nice leisurely brunch. The food was delicious.

Great for those of us that love that feeling of hominess and history.
