The Cellar Pub and Grill - Fergus

Went for supper because we have a room above the restaurant. Food was great, patio and live music from a guy with a guitar singing chill/lite rock. Special was all you can eat mussels, we had pork schnitzel and stuff chicken , app was sweet potatoes fries with chipotle dip. Should have just the fries. Big bowl with the dip.

The restaurant is in a fantastic location with views overlooking the river. I ordered the Prime Rib and it was cooked perfectly. The other dishes were also delicious. The service was top-notch. We will definitely be coming back.

We received our Caesar salad promptly and found it to be delicious. However, we ended up waiting over 40 minutes for our entrees. The salmon was overcooked and the steak was undercooked. After sending it back, they cooked it again but it still wasn't perfect - half was overcooked and the other half was okay but chewy. The mashed potatoes had a strange appearance and taste. The chicken parmesan was bland and mushy. The shrimp Alfredo was decent. All of this came to a total of $220. Despite the issues with the food, the server was friendly and attentive.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch on the patio. When we arrived all the seats by the water were taken so we took a table on the 2nd tier of the patio and enjoyed a Purple Daze cocktail which was absolutely delicious! Then a table became available on the lower level along the railing by the water and the serving staff kindly let us move. I had the fish and chips which were delicious and my friend had the apple cheese soup and turkey wrap which she said was also delicious. The service was prompt and friendly and it was so relaxing enjoying such a nice drink and meal by the water. I would highly recommend this spot if you are in the Elora area. The only downside was there was a doggie daycare next door so once or twice a slew of about 10 dogs started to bark but the staff at the doggie daycare quickly quietened them down. I thought it was cute but others may find it annoying. In my opinion the experience was perfect!

I will start saying that the overall experience from past visits, was much, much better. Staff was very nice and polite, kept our reservation without any delay, service was ok, nothing major. Food on the other hand was way below any expectations. The worst, hamburger and Chicken wrap. Meat was just overcooked, dry like a bone with no flavour, burger patty was burnt. I will not be coming back for some time, that is for sure.
