Went to celebrate a birthday and all 4 of us in the party were extremely impressed with every aspect of our meal! There is a new chef and I can say is he outdid himself! The quality and quantity of our meals were fantastic. We will definitely go again! Oh and the red sangria was mmmmm good. Highly recommend people go and enjoy a meal! The lamb was yummy!

We , two couples, dined in the restaurant for Countylicious. Two had the chicken, one the lamb and the other the gnocchi dinner. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal which arrived on time and with great presentation. The Chef attended our table to ensure we were totally satisfied and we all congratulated him on his talents. We’re locals so we know the history of the place. We’re seeing a total 360 on the staff and endeavours by the owners to make this establishment a success. Good luck and we will be back. We definitely recommend it..

We had a wonderful meal 😋. The service was excellent and it's in a perfect location. It's also a great place to take a walk and enjoy the water. I'd recommend everyone to give them a try 💯.

Love the ambiance of the ‘porch’ dining area. Our server was friendly, polite, and attentive. We went for the Friday roast beef dinner. The meat was melt in your mouth delicious. It came with order specifications (rare, medium, well cooked) and done perfectly. The sides of broccolini, mashed potato, carrot, Yorkshire pudding and gravy finished the plate nicely and were also very tasty. So glad to have the Knoll back to being a lovely place to enjoy a good meal. 👏

We went for a mini vacay to Sandbanks and had the pleasure of dining at The Knoll. The location is simply stunning, right on the water with a great views that perfectly set the mood for a relaxing and enjoyable time. The food was good but what really made our visit exceptional was Paula, our server. She was absolutely amazing—attentive, friendly, with a welcoming smile. It felt like we were being taken care of by a friend rather than just a server. Her warm and genuine personality made the evening even more special. She was the reason we went back again the next day for lunch!

Great views! But the food is not worth the price. The $10 burger is selling for $24 and the Waupoos cider is $12 that is $3 more than other places. Way overpriced items but at least they don’t charge extra for the side of Mayo

The view is amazing and I would assume perfect for sunsets! We went there for a quick bite ! The red sangria was great, ceasar salad was good and i wish the fish and chips was less oily. But overall we were very happy with the whole experience.

I visited with my husband and kids, and overall, the service was great. The food took a little while to arrive, but it was delicious. I had the Caesar salad with chicken, my husband had the fried chicken sandwich, and the kids loved their meals as well. However, the atmosphere leaves much to be desired. It felt quite dull and lacked vibrancy, with no music to enhance the ambiance. I believe adding some lively elements to the patio could attract more patrons. Despite this, it was pleasant to enjoy a meal overlooking the water. If I’m in the area again, I would consider having lunch here, but I wouldn’t make a special trip just to visit.

The service was great. Menu was limited but when asked about steak that we saw they had on line but not on menu the server asked kitchen to make for us. Our group had the fish, lamb and the steak.

We were sat immediately because the place wasn t very busy for breakfast on a Tuesday (maybe 4 tables already seated). Somehow it took 20 minutes to take our order and another 30 for our food to arrive. « There was an issue with the kids pancakes » (which turned out to be a single pancake). Only one other table arrived after us and they got their food before us. Servers were friendly when they came around. Food was tasty but overpriced.

We enjoyed a hot day on the patio( which is a MUST)! My garden salad was huge! Packed with lots of veggies, fresh and tasty with chicken breast. My husband ordered pulled pork flat bread, very generous servings. Our waitress went out of her way today. She was extremely thoughtful and anticipated our needs. The building needs some roof repairs but the view of the sand Dunes and water are all you need to look at. Our waitress said business has been slow since covid, I hope they can continue to provide quality food and maintain a business in this economic climate. We hope to return. Hopefully more people will support this restaurant.

Beautiful view. Excellent food and service. We were extremely disappointed to learn that the well water that was served at dinner was high in nitrates. The signage was on the front door but the door was open when we arrived so the warning sign was not visible upon entry(it was moved to be visible immediately after our inquiry). I only saw a small sign in the washroom. I wrongly assumed that the sign was just for the water in the washroom. Something wasn t sitting right and we asked the server about the sign. The water served to us was in fact the same well water that the warning sign is pertaining to. The restaurant should be more transparent when offering water. If I had have known from the start, I would not have let my young son drink the water. It can cause significant harm to young children and pregnant women. I hope that management will make sure to let customers know about the high nitrates and risks before serving tap water. The minimal signage is not enough especially when covered by a door.

Enjoyed supper here. What we tried of the food was good. Enjoyed the local beers we tried but they did not have a lot of choice available that night. Service was very quick and the staff was very nice. We catched a great sunset view on the beach but we had issues at the beginning of our supper with wasps that kept bothering us but the hostess was nice enough to move us to another table.

I will preface my review with this...T-Rev and his kitchen staff did an admirable job considering...our server, Roxanne, handled the situation perfectly. Whoever booked 3 reservations, all for 6pm needs to be fired. A table of 20, our table of 13 and a table of 17...a server didnt show up was the least of the problems the staff faced. Our table was made up of former service industry workers...so we understood and were incredibly patient at the 2 hr wait for our food! The food was good, even with the dish mix ups. T-Rev, Im guessing is head chef, came out and apologized for the wait and Roxanne held her cool, even though she was most likely embarrassed and overwhelmed. We were given 20% off our bill, which was very generous. The building itself has not changed in 25 years and Im pretty sure thats when the shingles were put on...that are partially still there. The property is a shadow of what it used to be. Kudos to the staff...they had our sympathies as regular 4 person tables kept walking in to join the crowd. Kid-friendliness: Luckily the beach is right there to distract hungry children for the 2 hours we waited for our meals.

I ordered the sea food linguine and the cream sauce was so lack lustre literally tasted like milk and butter! No flavour at all, I don t even think they seasoned it Been coming to Tubbs for over 2 decades. Very disappointed The two stars is for the view and the amazing servers, they rock!

The food was decent, the view is great and our server was very pleasant. The problem is that we asked to open up our parasol and it was clearly a big deal, the server has to get permission from her manager. We couldn t understand why until they opened it up and it soon lifted up and flew across the patio, almost hitting another customer. We then realized that the parasols aren t weighted down - they appear to be just resting in the opening in the table. There was almost no wind at all, just a slight breeze off the lake, and it still went flying. That s not normal for a properly-installed parasol. I can t understand why they re set up like this, but in any case DO NOT open your parasol or ask them to do it.

The only thing good about this place is its location and view from the deck. Beautiful sun soaked patio overlooking west lake. The food is not so great. Ordered a French onion soup and burger. The soup was all like a paste (the croutons soaked all stock - seems like the soup was sitting for a few days before got re-heated and served). The burger was so dry and overcooked (tasted like cardboard). May be try other things if you want to visit.

The food and service were absolutely amazing!!! I haven t eaten that tasty for a while! We ordered the soup of the day (it happened to be a cauliflower one), some artichoke dips, Caesar salad with chicken, fish tacos, fish and chips and a cheesecake, and EVERYTHING was delicious! Yes, the service might be a little slow, but its only because they are really understaffed. Waitresses were doing everything they possibly could to take all the orders, make drinks and bring it all at the same time and be nice . All in all - I highly recommend this place and would definitely be visiting it again!

We go several times a year to this restaurant. We always ask for Carolyn. She is a great server and remembers us and knows what we like to eat and drink and is friendly and a real asset to the restaurant. We also enjoy a great duo called R&R (Ray and Ralph) who play guitars and sing from the 60s and 70s. The prime rib is excellent, and the veggies are not overcooked and limp, but crisp and tasty. We give this restaurant an overall 90 out of 100. The only thing it does not offer is a good espresso.

We went here on a Friday night late September 2020. We both had linguini dishes, seafood and chicken. I asked for a few additions to the meal and the chef knocked it out of the park. It was our best pasta meal ( we eat out a lot and travel ). Sauce was excellent, peruvian pickled peppers on the side, seasoned perfectly with a pinch of heat. Whenever we visit sandbanks this is and will always be our go to spot. I have attached pictures of the sunset view over the lake. It is breathe taking.

I would give 5 stars for the view and the great patio. However, service was mediocre and food average at best. It took the waiter 45 minutes to take our orders even if the place was not overly busy for a Sunday night. Prices are too expensive for what it is. 30$ for Jerk chicken with white rice and beans. The waiter even forgot to bring one side dish and didnt know the menu. Ketchup bottle was empty. We had to ask for utensils. Glasses were dirty and service was extremely long. Its too bad for the county. There are plenty of much better options in PEC. Wont return.

Had both dinner and breakfast here while I stayed at Isaiah Tubbs. The view is spectacular, especially during dinner, with a beautiful sunset and a nice breeze. We had our toddler with us, and the server brought the high chair over, moved all the sharp utensils away, and was very attentive. We ordered the Cajun shrimp and beyond meat burger - a little pricey, but the food was really good. The breakfast buffet was extremely expensive in my opinion ($35 for two people) - especially for those staying at the hotel, it should be free since it s just your typical continental breakfast.

Upon arrival there was no other people. There were a few tables in the pub area.( None in the dining room) .The waitress wanted to seat us right at the door to the pub. We had a blocked view of the water. We politely asked if we could move to a table where we could see the water.( There was no else in the dining area). We were told no because it was closer for the waitress to walk thru to the pub and they had to get ready for the dinner crowd. Our reservation was for 1230. No dinner crowd or lunch crowd in sight. This was a very negative experience, we practically had to beg to move tables. That being said the service was excellent but the food left little to be desired. Very small portions for the price. My granddaughters burger was a frozen patty. It will be a long time before we return. We were touring the county this day and thought this would be a Lovely spot for lunch.....It was not.

This restaurant is between 3 to 3.5 stars. The location is super pretty and the rustic setting adds to the charm. The sunset was gorgeous! The food was tasty, we all enjoyed our meals. The service is rather unpleasant. The server did not want to be there, did not want to work, did not want to talk or serve us. She did the bare minimum to take the order. The plates were not cleared, the drinks were not replenished. We had to wait for everything and ask several times, even desserts took forever. The restaurant was 1/4 full with several servers, so it was not busy to warrant such degree of neglect. Looked like she had better things to do and I am surprised they didnt just send her home if she was having such a bad day.

The view is beautiful but they don t care at all! It was cold today and because of the Easter Weekend everything else was closed. So I thought that maybe I can get a coffee and something on the side to eat and hence we headed towards this Restaurant . I asked the person who was standing outside of the restaurant rooms that we can get a coffee and sit here for a while. He said we have coffee but let me check if you could sit inside ... we waited there for 2-3 minutes then he back and said that sorry we are booked for the night ... really? It was evening around 5 pm and the Restaurant was not that booked as empty chairs were clearly seen from outside. I drink my coffee really fast so it was not the issue that I ll be sitting there for 2-3 hours! I had to come back to Toronto as soon as possible because from tomorrow we have to work and today we want to relax a bit at our house. I guess there is no pretty place where I can drink my coffee with a view in Prince Edward County! And I m really shocked by the answer of that person that the place is booked and we can t have our coffee but the place was not that crowded!

We have been coming here for a little over 10 years for all of their major function brunches (Mothers day, Fathers day, Easter, etc) and for a little over 10 years the food has managed to consistently get worse with each visit. While the atmosphere in the restaurant is nice and the staff are amazing, the quality of the food is not in like with the price you pay. If youre a fan of beef, do yourself a favor and skip the tougher than shoe leather and equally flavorless roast they serve!

The food was awful compared to every other restaurant we tried. We ordered a Rib eye for 39$. It was seriously overcooked (we asked for medium) and came with what seamed to be frozen vegetables. We ordered an extra sude of mushrooms (4 mushrooms for 4$!!!) and a site of 3 shrimps (9$ for 3 medium frozen Watery shrimp) It also came with a baked potatoe; it was dry and overcooked as well. The server tried to help by offering a desert... not enough! Then he took 20% off the meal which was quite insulting :(

Made a reservation and got a nice table in the lounge. Ordered our drinks and meals, got all correctly, food was as we ordered and good. And then it happened: 5 people came to the bar (no bartender btw), our waitress got busy with bar orders, finally cleared our plates and took our dessert order. 10 minutes later were still waiting for what we ordered, mom had to go to the bar, remind waitress about our desserts and teas and was told sorry hun were really busy They werent btw! Good food, no tip, BAD SERViCE!! Never going again.

Tried to go for dinner at 7:10pm but were told they were completely full (dinning room, patio, lounge and bar) and could not seat anyone until after 8pm unless we had a reservation even though the entire bar, lounge and patio were empty. I find it hard to believe the entire place would fill up before 8pm with reservation guests and have them eat and be out around 8pm.

Very disappointed this visit. Normally exceptional food & service. There were 2 weddings so this may have impacted this evenings visit.

Went here early on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered the brisket sandwich with fries. It was quite good. The location of the restaurant is exceptional, with a beautiful view of the water. I was also pleased with our server who not only alerted us to some discounts we could get but also promoted the resort part of the business without being annoying about it.

I live only a few houses from here, and I usually order the hamburger with Moza cheese and bacon with a side of fries, I mention to only put that on it and nothing else. Than when I come to pick it up and get home theres pickles, onions, lettuce, tomatoes on it, and the meal costs $21 dollars .. for what? For the terrible service, crappy food? Ive had better experiences at Wendys than I have here. Its truely pathetic and unprofessional. One time I waited 40 minutes after they said my food was ready, so total I waited an hour and 15 minutes for my food and the fries were terrible, burger was over cooked. Seriously people if you want a good restaurant to go to while your in the county go to the Acoustic Grill, the picton golf club restaurant or Angelos on main st in picton, they will all deliver a superior experience compared to this below average place.

Nice location, friendly staff. My husband liked his meal but my steak was overcooked and the rice pilaf had been reheated in the microwave so it was very chewy

Youre paying a premium for the view and location. Once you get over that and realize that the food is fresh, the staff local and friendly, and dont expect haute cuisine, youll have a great time.

Food was Good, View was amazing and the place needs some TLC. Cant live on your laurels forever. While sitting on the patio look toward the building and up at their eaves-trough. It would be cool if they intentionally were harvesting in house greens via their eaves-trough however the greens clearly growing there were unintentional.

Very nice place. A cool breeze off the lake made the lunch a relaxing time.

Was there this past Sunday (Nov. 26, 2017). Unfortunately, could not get any service. My partner and I sat at the bar. It was not that busy. Also hard to tell who was manning the bar or if it was being manned at all. A gentleman who sat down at the bar after us got served rather promptly. We assumed wed be next. But no, the male server just walked away after that. Then a female server came behind the bar, made a drink, looked me in the eye as she walked right past us. Then another female server came behind the bar and also ignored us. Then we left. I would like to rate this place zero stars, but I cant.

Great view and service was great however quality of food was not great. We had the steak, u would rate the steak 2/10. The view is great, I am sure its a nice place to have a drink in summer , dont come for the food.

Rustic dining lounge that boasted beautiful sunset dinner service, however, lacked the ability to execute a pleasurable experience. Our dinner had us seated for over and hour before receiving our drinks (because we went to the bar to get them ourselves), was told after forty five minutes that our meal choices were no longer available, and upon receiving our runner ups almost 2.5 hours after sitting down, the food was both unsightly and cold. As the only source of fare on a getaway lakeside resort, it is expected that a restaurant can both properly staff and cater to the guests needs. But with an overly ambitious menu, poor food presentation and lackluster, sometimes non-existent serving staff, it may be a fair warning to future guests of Isaiah Tubbs to bring your own food. That is of course, unless youre willing to wait.

Amazing food AND service! The waiter took the time to explain things to us (we are francophones and some things on the menu were unclear to us). The food is amazing! We are definitely coming back! PS: try the lava cake with ice cream it is completely decadent!
