A Jewel in the Hills

We celebrated our 39th anniversary at this marvelous location. We started with champagne cocktails. A bread basket with French and Pumpkin bread slices with butter and a red pepper spread arrived at the table. Very enjoyable texture and taste. A little while later we had the soup of the day - a lobster and seafood blend. We found it a little strong on the seafood taste for a bisque and a little cooler than expected. During this course a crisp piece of baguette covered with a dollop of pumpkin mousse was presented - a delightful taste experience. Did I mention this was also Thanksgiving Weekend. Prior to the arrival of the main course, we were presented with a red wine ice (sort of a sorbet) which was delightful treat to cleanse the palate! For entrees, my wife had the fish of the day - a pan seared trout with rice and vegetable blend. The trout was cooked to perfection and tasted divine, the rice was buttery and also cooked to perfection as were the vegetables. I selected the pan seared scallops and lobster. The scallops were succulent, sweet and melt in your mouth tender. The lobster was a shelled claw also sweet and tender. We had a bottle of VQA Pinot Gris from the Niagara Region. It beautifully complimented our main course. Both meals were plated in true gourmet fashion. We shared the Triple Chocolate dessert which wasn't quite as 'chocolatee' as we would have liked but very smooth and enjoyable. The tea we ordered following our dinners was properly prepared in tea pots with boiled water. The wait Staff was attentive, polite, courteous but not intrusive. It appeared as though the staff collaborated with one another in a seamless fashion. It was a such pleasant experience interacting with them. They could not have been more professional or effective in their service. Of course the Inn is an esthetically delightful structure. The Dinning Room is multi-levelled and nicely arranged in an "L" shape. Tables are carefully spread out so you don't feel that you are intruding on other patrons dinning. We had a 6:30 seating and there were several tables already occupied; by the time we completed our dinning ( nearly three hours later) the room was full. We have been dinning at some of the nicest restaurants in the Toronto/Golden Horseshoe Region for decades. This trip to the Millcroft Inn and Spa was one of the best dinning experience we've had - period!

Very Pricey, Very small portions

At the Headwinds restaurant at the Millcroft Inn, we ordered a flat iron steak as a main course ($27) and a duck ($23), a goat cheese starter, a dark chocolate dessert, and one espresso coffee. Total bill $95. We do not mind paying $95 for lunch, but we should at least get enough to eat. My steak consisted of three very thin slivers of meat (seemed to be less than 2 ounces, looking like thin slices of chicken tenders), very artfully decorated, four teeny-weeny cherry tomatoes, and two measly pieces of asparagus. I left the table hungry. To be fair, the steak tasted good. The duck was also a tiny portion. But it was undercooked, very tough, and too chewy. If this is what passes for fashionable cuisine these days, it is not for us. We left Headwinds hungry. My wife and I had to buy a sandwich at a nearby pub immediately after we had eaten a lunch worth $95. Of course we felt cheated. We will not visit again. The only redeeming feature was the service. Our server, Erin, was very helpful.
