Craft Kitchen 214 Main Street Schomberg

Serving delicious food, cocktails + wine

The menu is farm to table, hand crafted, local fresh ingredients driven and our Chefs are changing it up twice a year for summer and spring then again fall and winter. Seasonality is a huge part of what we do.

Our cocktails are innovative, trendy, made in house with the finest ingredients and we are proud to also follow a seasonal menu changing it up to make sense with what is available locally.

Let’s just say we love us a good spritz or a margarita, cocktailling is our passion.

Our wine is causally upscale offering you private labels at affordable prices

We take dining seriously and our goal is giving you the best experience paired with the most quality items

The best restaurant in Halton Hills by far. It's something special and in a wonderful little village. Highly recommend. Everything there tastes amazing. The only slightly less good dish had been the Gnocchi. Everything else has been amazing

St. Catharines

About the restaurant

Reservations are open for dinner only, lunch is walk ins only.

What’s in the name you ask? We don’t really know, other than the fact that it has a good ring to it.

Nothing really about this place makes much sense. Are we a butcher shop or a restaurant? Are we a butcher shop inside of a restaurant? Or a restaurant inside of a butcher shop?

In our spare time we like to build fires and cook food over wood, you can hire us to do that. We make all of our own charcuterie in house, and we’re determined to get better at that everyday.

How do two concepts operate together in harmony? We don’t really know yet, but we will work at it ‘til it’s seamless. One thing we do know, all of the meat served and sold between these four walls is strictly derived from whole animals butchered in-house, sourced from happy places.

Every food item we had was great! Everything was super high quality, and very uniquely flavoured. The sauces that accompanied each dish were amazing! Very original. I love that they use hyper local producers. The cheeseburger is probably the best burger in the city, and the charcuterie board we assembled was maybe the best I've ever had. My only complaint is the cocktails lacked a little flavour, and seemed just a little too watery, but still interesting concepts nonetheless. Also I put a note saying it was my girlfriend's birthday, and expected perhaps some sort of complimentary dessert, or amuse bouche, or perhaps even an acknowledgement... Especially at the price we paid, but perhaps the note wasn't seen. Regardless, the meal was exceptional, and we'll certainly be back!

Orangeville

About the restaurant

While atmosphere and excellent service are a great start to an evening, it's the culinary detail that completes your outing to the Cliffs. Our Chef, Jason Reiner, and his team are dedicated to the local food movement and create menus by season and availability of local products. He is proud to serve up only the freshest made from scratch items on the ever-changing chalkboard menu. He relies on local farmers and producers to provide the best local ingredients available by season.

We feature local beers on draught, locally roasted coffee and support local artisans whenever possible.

The service and food is always exceptional at Mono Cliffs. Simple rustic decor with beautiful touches of fresh flowers. The lamb is a personal favourite and it is always prepared to my liking. Everything from the meatball appetizer, arctic char and lamb with side dishes of roasted vegetables was delicious. Vanilla bean crème brûlée to finish off our meal was divine.

3 of us for dinner. My mushroom soup was outstanding as was my wife's tomato burratta salad. Mains were equally good. Magnificent view, quiet but I imagine it could be hopping in ski season. Our server was helpful and knowledgeable.
