We had a table of 8 on a Saturday night. We were seated promptly (7 pm.reservations) but we were over 20 minutes before we got our drinks. There were a couple empty tables, however they didn't have enough staff. The server apologized for our long wait for food - we were 1.45 wait for main. Drink orders were slow and the server was not attentive, but she was pleasant. They were clearly understaffed. It would have been a better experience with real napkins and not paper, especially at their price point. As well, tablecloths would have been preferred. Again for the price point this restaurant needs to step up their service and decor. The washrooms need replacing, they're old and not clean looking and having a urinal in the washroom is disgusting. Parking is almost non existent. The food was good, the trout was cooked very well. Everyone said their food was excellent. It's a small venue and a table of 12 came in, at that point we couldn't hear each other due to volume of voices. I probably wouldn't go back, although the food was great- 4 star. But slow server service, long wait time for food and the restaurant needing some upgrades and awful washrooms brings it down to a 3. 1

This is an absolutely stunning place to stop when you're in Prince Edward County! The food is incredible and they have a great selection of beers from their brewery at the base of the mountain plus wines from the county. The staff are really accommodating, and were really helpful in making allergy and diet changes to the menu. It was a hard climb on my bike to get there, but stopping at the Inn will likely be a part of my future bike trips!

What a truly wonderful discovery! The Inn is a fusion of French and Italian styles in an inspiring way that is all about dining detail. From the fois gras with peppercorns, to the best pudding au chomeur I've experienced yet... the owner's recipe that is OMG to die for. Olivia, our server, made the experience all the more pleasurable. She was the perfect balance of attentive without being intrusive. A definite recommendation if your near the Lake on the Mountain.

Magical place, truly a hidden natural gem to have the two lakes where they are. Great food and service at the Inn, wonderful wine selection too. Right next to the provincial park and has a great hike potential. Worth the trip!

My wife, son and I had dinner at the Inn on June 19, 2023. It was a beautiful 24C evening and we sat on the patio with great views of both lakes. Our server was very pleasant and courteous. We had asparagus soup, short ribs, strawberry salad with chicken and tourtiere. All of the food was very delicious and full of flavour. A chef came out and picked fresh herbs while we were there and when I asked was informed that they try to source all of the ingredients locally. I like that. I will definitely return. Very good food in a beautiful setting.

Such a beautiful spot. Our waiter was really nice. We didnt enjoy the food however. My friend had the poutine - very small portion in general, and the meat on it was just a couple small pieces.

Gorgeously located with view of the Lake, rustic settings, locally brewed classy beer and relaxing ambience. We are vegetarians and ordered the Salad, Pasta and Gnocchi. The food delicious and the Gnocchi outstanding. Pudding Au Chomeur was to die for. Vegetarian options: There are not too many options. But the pasta and Gnocchi were terrific Parking: There is a designated parking area close to the restaurant. Watching the sunset from the parking is a sight to behold

My first and last experience at the inn. The servers were understaffed creating a hectic atmosphere My rueben sandwich for $19 was disgraceful. The tip of the iceberg: the manager, Danielle was not a gracious hostess when I complained about it, she called me a restaurant bully and was trying to get a free meal. Totally unprofessional. Youre paying for the view. Pack your own picnic.

Reserved a table for 2 at lunchtime for our anniversary. We booked in for 11:30, as they told me that 12:30 wasn t available. Our reserved table was the worst tiny table on the patio, stuck right in the middle without any privacy or sun umbrella. We asked if we could move over to the next empty table, no such luck. Our waiter never introduced himself or any of the menu items, and didn t seem very eager to take our order or even talk to us for that matter. Another server eventually brought our lunch. The food was mediocre at best, service was poor and the whole experience was so disappointing. I did not tip (first time ever not-tipping) and explained to the waiter why. He was very angry, muttering something about delivering the food and the kitchen staff still having to cook our food. I was dumbfounded. Won t ever be back to this establishment, but if we venture out that way again (1-1/2 hour drive for us) we will pack a picnic and eat at the beautiful park across the road! P.S. the table beside us was still empty by the time we finished our meal, left and took a stroll around the look out!

Nestled amidst the serene beauty of Lake on the Mountain, The Inn at Lake on the Mountain offers not only breathtaking views but also an unforgettable culinary experience. My recent visit to this charming establishment left me thoroughly impressed, and I am delighted to share my review. First and foremost, lets talk about the food it was nothing short of incredible. Each dish was a masterpiece, skillfully crafted to tantalize the taste buds and leave a lasting impression. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a revelation of flavors and textures. The menu boasts a delightful variety catering to diverse palates. However, what truly elevated my dining experience was the impeccable service provided by our server, Olivia. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were exemplary. Throughout the meal, she ensured that we were well taken care of, anticipating our needs with grace and efficiency. We opted to dine on the patio, which we had all to ourselves. The view of the lake was simply breathtaking, adding an extra layer of magic to our dining experience. The tranquil ambiance of the patio, coupled with the picturesque scenery, created a truly unforgettable atmosphere. The cozy interior of the inn also exuded a rustic elegance, complementing the overall charm of the experience. Whether enjoying a romantic dinner for two or gathering with friends and family, the atmosphere will provide a memorable dining experience. In conclusion, my visit to The Inn at Lake on the Mountain was nothing short of delightful. The combination of exceptional food, attentive service, and picturesque setting makes it a must-visit destination for any food enthusiast. I highly recommend The Inn at Lake on the Mountain to anyone looking to indulge in a culinary journey that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

We enjoyed our meal here. The dining room was quite cozy. I had the mortadella & pistachio sandwich with fries. It had simple ingredients and came together well. I did wish they warmed up the focaccia, as it would have made the bread fluffy instead of stiff cold. My friend had the quiche and said there was nothing too special about it. It looked kind of dense. Service was quick. Overall a good experience!

I waited all season to come here, and I wasn t happy about it. Last year we had an amazing experience that I recommended to everyone but this time I had few things to say. The mussels were not up to their usual standards, the bathroom (one was out of service) Was very smelly and to top everything up, my friend got a hair in his burger. We are disappointed that the Inn is not what it used to be. Hopefully management will do something to make this place better. Only good thing was our server she was amazing that why we did not say anything

We wanted to go to the Miller house but unfortunately it was closed. Fortunately, we saw this place and decided to go there and it was the best decision to go with. We were quite hungry by then so we ordered almost everything on the menu. As im a vegetarian so i ordered portobello mushroom panino and bruschetta as starter along with coffee. Everything was super amazing. If you are travelling to Prince Edward, do try this place, trust me you won t be disappointed. You can also enjoy a beautiful lake view on both sides which is like cheery on cake!!

The restaurant has lovely ambiance and fantastic people employed, but I was honestly disappointed with the food. I had a roasted chicken sandwich on focaccia and the sandwich was served cold. The sandwich could have easily been elevated if served warm. Nothing about the chicken said roasted. I really enjoyed the zucchini pickles that were on the sandwich and my husband enjoyed the tomato feta spread that was served on the side because of my dislike of goat feta. My husband s burger was bland - completely unseasoned. The bun was cold. We both had fries. They were described as Yukon gold, but I m pretty sure they were white potatoes and most likely frozen. That was disappointing too. These dishes could have been way more successful with a few tweaks.

We came as a group of 4 for my husband s birthday and it was fantastic. The atmosphere is very cozy but refined, service was warm and friendly, and the food was delicious. They have an extensive wine and cocktail selection, and their beers (IPA specifically) were great. It was a rainy, cold day and their food really brightened up the rest of the evening. We enjoyed the strawberry salad, bacon and goat cheese salad, tourtière, rigatoni, and braised short rib. We highly recommend this place to everyone and will definitely come back the next time we are in PEC.

Food and service (wait staff) were excellent but management stained the entire experience. We were a family of 7 with a reservation for 11 am for lunch on Wednesday, July 26. Four of us had our leftover coffees from Lily s Cafe in Picton to finish off before lunch. I asked the hostess/waitress if it was ok for us to bring them in and there was no problem. Either it was the manager or owner sitting at a nearby table who, within about 10 minutes who very I kindly told us You cannot bring outside drinks here. This is a restaurant. , quite loudly in front of other patrons. She was very rude and made us feel unwelcome, and frankly, we felt there was racism/discrimination implied (most of us are Asian). We could not truly enjoy the experience, despite the excellent food and service. We understand many establishments don t allow outside food/drink, but there s a way to communicate this in a polite and respectful way. Also, bringing in almost-finished coffees does not prevent us from spending a lot of money on alcohol and food. We had intended to try the beer but was so upset we decided against it out of spite. We still ordered a lot of food, which was excellent. It s the next day and we re still feeling triggered by the experience. I could not recommend this restaurant unless something changes with management. One additional issue is that the high-chairs for babies/toddlers are unusable. There s no bar to hold the baby within so the child can easily slip off the seat and end up on the ground, so they are very unsafe and we were not able to use them for the baby we had with us.

The food and experience were AWFUL! It took us over two hours to get our food (they kept forgetting our orders) and when it came it was extremely disappointing. My season veg pasta (during the peak of veg season) was over cooked noodles with frozen peas and butter and nothing else (not even salt) that I d be ashamed to serve a toddler. We asked to speak to the manager, who was a few step away, but she turned her back to us while the waiter told us she wasn t there (she was literally steps away) and when I tried to approach her she kept turning around and walking away (oh the maturity). The only positive I can say is the building was nice, hopefully people who know how to run a business/cook will take over soon.

The location of this dining establishment is undeniably wonderful, earning a solid 10 out of 10. However, despite our prior booking, we encountered significant issues with the staff in securing our seats. Regrettably, I must say that the staff was far from friendly. While the food options were decent, they were somewhat limited in selection. The quality of the food fell into the just fine category neither exceptional nor disappointing. In the end, our enjoyment stemmed primarily from the beautiful location, but our experience was significantly dampened by the demeanor of the staff.

We made a reservation that was honoured early, and let me tell you this restaurant did not disappoint. Our table of 5 ordered a variety of the offerings from the pasta dish (my mouth is watering between bites) to the braised, slow roasted short ribs that required no knives and were astonishing. The caesar salad with kale in it was also spectacular. Our party all reported their meals were delicious. When you add to that personable and attentive service in a lovely inn-like feel complete with a fireplace, stone walls and beams and a lovely view of the lake and the mouth of the St-Lawrence, this is one place we can highly recommend.

Lovely location. Great service. Really embarrassing that a restaurant purported to be 4 star serves frozen corn and peas in August for Gods sake in Prince Edward County when the markets are overflowing with amazing fresh goods. And .... canned gravy. Much better fare to be found in Picton.

Great outdoor seating with a terrific view. Service was good and our server was very friendly. We had the tourtiere served with garlic mashed potatoes, peas and corn. Chile sauce and a dill pickle completed the meal. The tourtiere could use more flavour, it was rather bland. Couldnt detect garlic in the potatoes and they could have been creamier. Vegetarian options: Pasta dishes and salads Parking: Plenty and closer by Kid-friendliness: Many families. Outdoor seating so kids can walk around if they want Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs

After seated, it took a good while for someone to take care of us. Our drinks also took a good while to arrive to the table even though they were served and just sitting at the bar waiting for someone to finally bring them to us. When the waitress finally went for them, she took some of the beer in a cup and poured it again in the glass to make us believe they were freshly served but that doesn t do the trick when your drink is already warm and transpired and the customer has been watching it all! Then they start bringing some food and we were left just admiring it since we didn t even had cutlery. The food was ok, no much to say on that department, but the service was so terrible that deterred me from ordering a dessert And yes getting to pay the bill also took a while.

The food was okay, one of the sides was cooked vegetables, but I got frozen corn and peas, I was expecting fresh cooked vegetables and more variety. I would say that the short ribs were good. On the other hand, the service is terrible. Its a shame that this place has all the potential to be a great place to be visited, but it is not.

10/10 do yourself a favour and make the drive, you won t be disappointed. They were short staffed and the service was phenomenal, the food is even better. Their honey whipped butter and warm bread is great table starter and the bruschetta was fresh. The braised beef was fall off the bone delicious, literally - and the rigatoni was more Italian than your next door neighbour. This is a busy spot so make sure to call ahead and book a reservation. We ll definitely be returning.

We went for dinner on a Friday evening at 6 with reservations. Be sure to make reservations because a lot of people show up and had to come back later when a time was available. We had the Pan Seared Trout and the fresh Rigatoni. Although the Trout was sent back because it was barely room temperature, the replacement was hot and delicious. The fresh Rigatoni with spicy sausage was a new favourite for me. Dessert was cake batter baked in maple syrup with vanilla ice cream. Delicious. Service was amazing and friendly. Too bad they are closed in the winter because it would be a very cozy place to eat while a fire is going.

Went to the Inn on lake on the mountain for lunch on October 1st 2022. It was our first time eating there. First off the location and views were outstanding. We were seated in front of the wood burning fireplace, Ive never ate anywhere that was that cozy and homey. The experience didnt stop there we started off with 1lb of muscles in a dill and garlic sauce, then moved to the chicken liver pate and crustinos with a small bit of garden greens pickled onions and cucumbers followed by their triple smoked bacon salad with sheep cheese. All plates were fantastic. We then shared a Reuben sandwich and their world class sweet potato poutine. Ryan our server was fantastic always there when you needed him great guy. I give this restaurant a 4.9 just because they dont sell their pate in a tub to take home. I will definitely go back again. Still lots of choices I want to try. See you soon.

abusive policy on reservations to charge a no show fee based on collecting credit card info, not even disclosed at the beginning of taking the reservation. I understand there are people that overbook places and then dont show up but that discriminates against those that in good faith make the reservation and do show up. The restaurant is taking a patronizing stand. Comments?

The views and service were great. Without a reservation, the host made every effort to put on a wait list and find a table. Our server was excellent. The Tourtière was bland, crust was over toasted, mashed potatoes runny, and peas were just boiled. They need to add some flavour or introduce some fusion. A missed opportunity. Still 4 stars for location and service.

It was ready in 20 minutes like promised, food was great! Portions are not too big, but good for a meal. Was surprised how good was noodle salad with Thai dressing! Burger was big and juicy, and salmon came along potato patties and veggies and capers! Everyone enjoyed their meal and will definitely be back! Service was handled professionally, no lines, no wait.

If I could give zero stars I would. We came for our anniversary weekend and it started off on a bad note due to the poor behaviour of staff at this restaurant. Watered down lemonade and cold food to begin with. We were asked to sit out in the cold and had to wait an hour for the food, which came cold but in hot plates?? When I mentioned this and not tipped, the manager got overly aggressive and made weird comments like do you never tip ? At which point I walked away. Do not recommend
