We were celebrating both a birthday and a wedding anniversary, and had brought a cake with us. I had forgotten candles, but the staff remembered! They were very friendly, and professional. The thank-you cards with the gift voucher that were presented to our birthday girl and our celebrating couple were a very nice surprise! The food was delicious, and the timing excellent. Thank you!

Staff were so welcoming and friendly. Justin greeted us, our table was not ready so we were redirected to the lower bar, where Damon was a great host. Once seated in the dining room, Liz was our server. We have nothing but wonderful things to comment about our experience. Justin even revisited us, and offered to take us on a tour of the facility, on a “slow day”, as we live locally. Our food was absolutely amazing and plentiful. Go for the four course meal plan...take your time... enjoy your company, the atmosphere, and the views. That is how this Gem is meant to be experienced. Thank you for a wonderful anniversary dinner.

We had friends visiting from Germany. Aiming to take them to local craft breweries! Neither of us had been to Elora Brewing Company and we were pleasantly surprised with the yummy beer selections and the great comfort food selection. Kudos on the black bean burger and the great fries!!! More

I found the bar area a little noisy at lunch for a business meeting so may not do that again. The food came out a bit slow (took us 45 minutes) which was a bit awkward as one of our colleagues had to leave to go to another meeting. Food never disappoints though! And I've never had any issues on the many many times I've been there. More

I was in Guelph for a training event and wanted to make sure I was experiencing the best of the local scene. I found The Book Shelf on Trip Advisor, and it seemed like a good way to support a unique, locally owned business. I didn't realize that the eBar and the actual book store and on different floors, and not even really related (in terms of your experience) unless you go downstairs to browse the store before you eat. I didn't have time for that, since I made a 7:30 reservation and the show started at 8:30. Also, being a Tuesday in the summer, it was fairly empty. That being said, when all of the students come back to town in September, I am sure that place is always buzzing. The bartender/server was a very nice young man who made me feel less awkward about being by myself, and was good with beer recommendations. The atmosphere was cool, with a stage at the front, long bar/seating area, a pool table, and then a small patio outside, overlooking the larger patio of Mijiidaa (the restaurant downstairs, beside the entrance for The Book Shelf). Because of that, I enjoyed some (probably creepy?) people watching, lol. There is also another dining area inside, before the entrance to the movie theatre. I'm not sure if this part counts as my experience at "eBar" but the movie theatre was very cute and brought me back to the days before huge Cineplexes. The crowd was very mixed, and even though the restaurant was quiet, the theatre was filled. That was okay because you can order your movie ticket and reserve your seat when you're eating at eBar - so I got to go set my reservation card in the seat I wanted before people started filing in. All in all a great experience I am glad to have had during my time in Guelph. More

We were advised that the computer system had been done since Friday and we dined on Monday night. We were not entitled to use a gift card or any coupons that we were entitled to use. Not very good considering it is not the customers fault that they do not have a good computer system. Surprising for Cara foods and this is a corporate store. We were given a hand written bill..

Didn't provide a beverage menu or have any insight on mixed alcohol-free beverages... My wife is very pregnant and would have very much liked to have had something other than water for valentines day. More
