Made brunch reservations by telephone for 11 am Sat Aug 11, 2018 for a party of 4 . Arrived 15 minutes early to be told there was an error on their part but no brunch on Sat and that the kitchen does not open until 12 noon. No telephone call to correct their error. We were offered to stay with water/coffee or leave. We stayed and had lunch. When bill arrived, they over charged us for a cappuccino which we did not order. It was corrected. Food good but not worth the total bill of $185.00. Never again.

The food was delicious and our waiter was excellent- friendly, knowledgable, and attentive. Don't bother going here after 8:30pm on a Saturday because all you will hear is stomping from the dance floor above your head and music. To top it off they play different music in the dining room- this just makes it worse. They did warn us about the noise but this was after we'd made our reservation and were already at the restaurant. Had we known ahead of time we wouldn't have dined on a Saturday or would have gone earlier in the evening. We had an issue with coat check and the Assistant Manager on duty was dismissive about it. He eventually took some accountability for the issue although it still took several phone calls and 5 days to resolve.

Peppercorn Steak, Caprese Salad, desserts were absolutely perfect! (Osso bugo was slightly disappointing compared to most of their spectacular dishes). Service was great but slightly confused... but they gave me a free Scotch afterwards so its all good! Later in the evening there was a party upstairs which was quite noisy, but I guess you gotta expect that if you're dining on a Saturday night after 9pm.

I can not rave enough about the service our group of 6 received. The hostess was incredibly friendly and accommodating as were all of the wait staff. However, I was not really impressed with the dinner at all. I ordered the Caesar Salad...the dressing tasted bottled, my veal chop was cooked perfectly, however...the mushroom sauce was so salty that I had to scrape it off in order to eat the meat. Mashed potatoes were pasty, side Vegetables were steamed perfectly. Dessert was a stale piece of chocolate cake shaped like a two bite brownie but larger...that I guess had been microwaved because I did come across a warm spot in the middle...with a scoop of ice cream on top. The rest of the group had different food, but the same experience.

It was a magic evening; winter storm outside (one of many this winter) but inside: warm, friendly, romantically lit room with quiet soft music. Our waiters were attentive, professional and very nice. We will be back at the Doctor’s House to experience this great place during spring or summer.

For an established fine dining restaurant I was very disappointed with the service. It was very slow and inattentive although the restaurant was not busy. Took over 15 minutes to take a drink order, appetizers and salads all came at the same time, just not what we expected. Wine list and menu on photocopied 8X11 paper?? Food and ambience are great, service needs attention.

We hadn't been for 5 years and thought we would give it another try. It started off well with us being shown to our table immediately...followed by no service for 20 minutes - no water, wine list...nothing. We were finally given a rumpled couple of photocopied sheets that constituted the wine list. The food on the "cold" table was adequate but in short supply or empty for a number of the dishes. The hot food was dismal - either nothing left in the hot trays (gave up waiting for spareribs) or inedible lumps of meat (dreadful lamb). Line up for pasta dishes was ridiculous. An automatic 15% gratuity was added - high for a buffet, particularly this dismal one. We would have happily tipped 20% because it was Christmas - but not for this.

This was my first time at The Doctors House and I was most pleasantly surprised! We loved everything about our long lingering lunch. The restaurant happened to be very quiet that day with few other guests. Our waiter was attentive and charming. The food was absolutely delicious. The waiter noticed that one of our party was opening a Birthday present so he delivered a cake with candle to our table without us requesting...this was very impressive. We fully intend to return to try the Sunday Brunch!

Beautiful setting with sun streaming in on cold day. Food fair - too much heavy sauce, many things made from same sauce so too much tomato. Bread was good. Menu should be presented more appealing - printed piece of well- used paper not appealing. Nice setting - food should measure up.

It was a very romantic atmosphere there. The service was great. The food was excellent. For appetizer I ordered shrimp cocktail and guacamole. The shrimps were tasteless but guacamole was really good. Seared tuna with sesame seeds for main course was very delicious!!! My husband ordered fried calamari for appetizer - very good, very lightly breaded and decent portion. Lamb chops that he ordered for main course was outstanding - very tasty, juicy & tender!!! Both, creme brulee & cream cheese for desert were excellent!!! Everything but shrimps was very very delicious!!!

Sorry, but we won't be back. 1) I had booked online as many times before,, but no-one seemed to know we had asked for the Verandah. 2) Despite the fact that there are many people gluten intolerant ( 2 of our 3 are) the new menu reflects pretty well only southern Italian foods. Not one rice dish. Only ONE fish dish and ONE salad were possible with no flour. 3) Despite telling the older waiter only one of us could eat it, he presented us with a huge plate of breads. 4) a large party beside us was found everything uproariously funny, quite inappropriate behaviour in public!

We booked a Sunday brunch at the Dr. House for our anniversary, as we got married at the same location. There was a large selection of cold items, and a reasonable selection of warm items. The operative word is "warm", as nothing was really hot... except the coffee. I picked Brunch because I love Eggs Benedict. Have to say, they were extremely disappointing. The cold lobster and prawns did make up for the disappointing breakfast items. I have had brunch at this location before, and have been very pleased, but this visit was the exception. I expected more.

My boyfriend and I dined here on a date night. Interior is gorgeous, food outstanding, ambiance romantic however service not up to the standard of the rest of the experience. There were very few customers being served in the dining room and there were two older male servers working. We heard them arguing over which one of them wanted to serve our table, I am not sure why, Once we placed our order we did not see our waiter until the dessert course. Again he vanished and we asked another server to ask him to bring us our bill. We noticed that the gratuities had already been applied. I was a little shocked at this especially after the lack of service. On a table of 2 gratuities are EARNED not assumed. Despite this I would return to try again.

We really enjoyed the organic beet salad- very tasty and good portion. So far so good. Waiter recommended salmon vs sstrip loin. It was 3" square with skin on, overcooked and served on bed of mashed potatoes. No vegetables!!! for 28.00 dollars. Really. I'd much rather the plank salmon at Milestones or the KEG. Chicken was good- again only served on top of mashed with no veggies. Dessert was very disappointing. Thought there would be strawberry or rhubarb item as they are in season.

While the food was very good the overall experience let a lot to be desired. The evening started with a welcome to "The Doctor's Office" by the hostess. Our waiter was immediately there, which you'd think was an indication he'd be prompt through the meal. He had an attitude. Shame we weren't ready to order within 2 minutes. Friend's entree wasn't noted until she'd ordered an appetizer (he corrected her!). Granted, he warmed up through the evening, but then left us cold, sitting for half an hour waiting for our bill... he'd said 5 minutes. We had to get up and go find him! Three tables asked, paid and left in the meantime. There are enough other restaurants around that we don't need to make the trek from Toronto to return.

We were seated quickly but the waiter took a while to come around for drink orders. My partner and I ordered ceasar salads for apetizers which turned out to be quite soggy. Our mains were nice: tenderloin and rack of lamb both cooked to perfection. Our desertswere passable: a chocolate lava cake and a crème brulée that was granular and far too sweet and an americano coffee that never showed (except on the bill of course). Our waiter spent most of his time flirting with a table of women nearby and it took an eternity to get the bill (which was packed full of errors) and we were never asked once how the food was nor did we get any refills on our water. The bill was ridiculously large and the tip was included in the cost.

My husband and I, and our three young adults have celebrated several special family occasions at The Doctor's House. The ambience is lovely and the food is delicious, well made and fresh. The restaurant is clean and well located in a quaint town above, but not too far from the city, The chefs and staff are friendly and ready to answer any questions about the menu items. The appetizer buffet is a meal in itself! We will be back again.

It was a special occasion for our family. Unfortunately we had to wait 45 minutes to get a table, which was very frustrating. We were not offered even a drink while we were waiting. We didn’t get a chance to talk to a manger either. The restaurant was very busy and our dinner was served by 10 p.m. for 8 p.m. reservation…which was very very late for a dinner… All food was very delicious (we take our hats off to a chef) but our family dinner was spoiled by the service. We didn’t get an apology …

Service was disorganized. Most tables were trying to flag down staff just to get a water refill. Placed our wine orders at the beginning; got my husbands glass at the start of the entree, didn't get mine till desser! And then they charge you an automatic 15% gratuity no matter the table size (we were only 2) Will never return again.

This was a bitter disappointment as a celebration of my mother's 88th birthday. Even tho' I'd been called 3 times to confirm the reservation they tried to seat us in the dining room rather than the verenda, neglected the dessert candle on my mother's dessert, and the service was awful - slow, mixed up etc. We had to fetch our own cutlery including steak knives for the 2 steak orders, water was not refilled, they tried to serve us dessert before we had even had our entree, could not fill an order for Bristol Cream Sherry (for my mother) even though it was on the menu, brought coffee before the entree even when we said we wanted it with dessert and more or less neglected us. Never again!

The buffet was one of the best I have ever experienced albeit a bit pricey. The seafood included lobster which was delicious and giant prawns. Lots of salads and antipasto to choose from. Unfortunately I am gluten and dairy free so was not able to indulge in the desserts but my companions raved about them. The restaurant was very busy and we were seated next to a large noisy crowd but since we were late for our reservation were lucky to get a table. Overall a good experience especially for groups. Not a venue for an intimate dinner

My husband and I had dinner at The Doctor's House on Saturday May 4th. Throughout the evening and the course of our dinner our server was attentive while not being over bearing- neither did he leave us wondering if we'd ever see him again - there is a fine line, and he was impeccable in his delivery, attitude and conversation. The dinner itself was delicious. From the appetizer to the dessert and even the choice of wine. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would suggest a visit there to whoever is looking for a lovely atmosphere and a very lovely dinner. It was a bit more then what we usually pay ($200.00) but it was a special occasion for us and when the evening was complete- we felt that it was well worth the price.

My companion's plates (rib eye sandwich and pasta al mare) were lovely and generous (a bit overcooked) and probably it should have been asked how one liked one's steak (and seafood for that matter) cooked. My frittata was small, skimpy on the vegetables, and quite overcooked. A vegetable omelette would have turned out better. Hence food here can be spotty. Ambiance and attentiveness of the service were good. Chardonnay was described as "sweet" when really it was fruity and dry and not as acidic as many, but they are open about tasting so one can make up one's own mind. An okay restaurant. A bit on the pricey side in regard to what the food is. The restaurant was quiet this lunch; I would bet not so when a wedding is going on there.
