   Prime rib dinner was over cooked I asked for medium rare and I received well done. Not happy for spending 109.00 dollars for two people with no alcohol .

   We visited the Beacon for dinner during the week January, hence not very busy. The staff were friendly and very attentive and accomodating to us. Had the braised ribs which were very tender not overly saucy, and the salmon that was cooked perfectly too! Limited selection of appetizers at the Beacon, a couple more items to select from would have been great. Good experience and recommend this restaurant!

   The view is great but the food was not good. Burger and Fries and steak on a bun and fries. Fries hard and cold on both plates, steak mushy and too much sauce so fell apart trying to eat it, burger so so. For the price of 23$ each plates, totally not worth it.

   Very nice experience have been there a few times, our server was awesome food was great but the Yorkshire pudding was very dry to us and there should have been a little ojus with it on side. I will go back again in the summer.:-)

   It was a very tasty dinner although my son ordered his steak med rare and it was more like blue rare, they did correct it and brought him a perfectly cooked steak but it took quite a while for the waitress to come check on our food so that is the reason for the 4 stars. We were the only ones in the restaurant on a Sunday night. The rest of our dinners were great . We would go again if we were in the area

    Met some friends for dinner and all of our meals were top notch. The salmon succotash was excellent! Highly recommend this venue. The location and view are perfect and you can carry on a conversation without having to talk over the other patrons.

    On a Monday night we ordered prime rib dinner. Always a good pick except that night. Meat was tough, maybe reheated and waitress was advised. She offered us a replacement but we didnt want to do that. However, complimentary tea/coffee wud have been nice. I sent a note to restaurant thru their website to let them know. No response. No apologies. I know they can do better. We have experienced that. Perhaps going on a quiet night is not good. Hard to keep things fresh. Maybe. It would be nice to hear from them.

    The meal I ate was delicious. The beer I had with the meal was stale but thankfully the drink was replaced free of charge. My wife's steak was satisfactory at best. The service was great though.

    The service was great. The food was not. The prime rib was not rare, smothered in gravy, too much food on the plate etc etc. very disappointing. The Beacon has one of the best locations and continues to be less than mediocre.

    All items were excellent. The roast beef was tasty, done to perfection and included Yorkshire pudding. Salmon was tasty as well as ceasar salads. Of course the view is superb as large windows over look the lake. No sunset as it continued to rain.

    Good food, but menu reduced because of supply shortages due to COVID. So a little disappointed that some things shown on the menu online were not available. But what we did order was very nice.

    Excellent experience- we will be back! Only complaint would be the slight musty odour when entering establishment. We know the building is older and is close to the water and has experienced flooding in the past Not sure how this smell could be resolved ? We LOVE the spectacular view! Food was excellent! Staff very sweet. We will be recommending this place to friends and be coming back soon! Thanks

    This was to be a special 60th birthday celebration. Reservations were made for 8:00pm in advance We waited approximately 10 minutes to be seated. There wasn't a table set up. My guests and I pulled the tables and chairs together. We sat outside the server did not offer to wipe condensation off the table. We wiped the condensation up with Kleenex. I brought my concern up the manager. Ivy was apologetic and offered to buy us around of drinks. Service ended up getting worse. 6 prime ribs dinners were ordered. When the dinners were served we discovered we didn't have steak knives. Each of us ended up cutting our steak with a butter knife until the server came back out. We asked for steak knives and salt and pepper. Still no salt and pepper. We mentioned we would like salt and pepper again and it took over 10 minutes to get some. There were 6 adults at this table four of the adults frequent the Beacon often also spoke highly about their experiences. Two of the guests had never been there before and were very much looking forward to a special night out. Please note there were two servers/ hostess it isn't just one server's misdeeds. I have given you my feedback and I look forward to receiving your feedback regarding our experience. Thankbyou

    I have to admit that I was a little concerned that it would be 'just a hotel restaurant' and nothing more. The outside of the restaurant seems rather dated and doesn't present well. However the view of the lake is beautiful, staff was very good, and the food was delicious and portions, generous. If anything, the overall appearance was hiding a very nice surprise. Although I thought the wine list was as little thin for a restaurant plunked in the middle of Ontario wine country, the wine prices were reasonable, for a change. I wouldn't hesitate to stop there again.

    Staff allowed children to run around unsupervised. When mentioned we were told they aren’t hurting anyone. If your paying over $100 for dinner then it’s hurting customers.

    It was good but not impressed overall. I ordered their prime rib (which is what they are know for) medium rare and was asked shortly after ordering if I'd mind an end cap so the chef didn't have to cut into a new roast, my response was "as long as it's medium rare"....it wasn't. I will not send food back to the kitchen unless I am not planning on eating it so I ate it but like I said not impressed. It was still good just not done as I like it but when you are paying for a premium you expect it in return. I will still try this restaurant again as I believe in second chances.
