Muskoka Restaurants

I was my first time to Lakeside Bala for dinner. The restaurant was lit with flickering candles which had a very calming effect. We were seated in the spacious new addition over looking the water. Our server, Louis, was very friendly and knowledge about the food and the area. We started with the baked Brie appetizer. It arrived warm and gooey with plenty of dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds and a stack of crunchy crostini. Plenty to share with 2-3 people. I had the lamb shank. The meat was so tender it fell off the bone. My dining partner had the steak which was cooked to a proper medium rare. Both meals were very filling. To end the night we shared the cream brulee trio and their flourless chocolate torte. Each cream brulee had a perfect sugar crust which cracked to reveal a different delicious cream center and the torte was a slow decadent death by chocolate. I have dined in Muskoka over the past 18 years and this is one of the best dining experiences I have enjoyed. More

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. I was expecting fine dining given the premium status of the hotel so was a bit disappointed. At least the cost of the dinner was in line with the average quality of the food. More
