Cabin 1865 - Mono

First visit to hockley Resort since pre-Covid. Plans and overnight with family members for dining and a spa visit. The cabin restaurant itself is lovely with a warm, welcoming ambience. Line list is minimal by the gloss and wine options are marginal at best. Decent if you like local or Niagara wines. The smallest 5 ounce glasses of wine I’ve ever seen, but our server reluctantly topped us up, despite challenging us that in fact, they were 5 ounces. All entrées are very expensive as well as the homemade pasta dishes. Do not order the risotto. Tastes like milky rice for $37! Tortelloni was undercooked and resembled puréed beef. Mussels with saffron cream sauce was OK. Best part was the chocolate cake. Server was OK, attentive, but did not even offer us a drink before he came and wanted to take our orders. Will not return.

My wife and I were so happy to finally be able to visit the Hockley Valley Resort as a belated anniversary celebration, something that had been on our list for quite some time. What we didn't expect was to have such an incredible dining experience during our stay. We are pretty serious foodies and will go out of our way to try a good restaurant. We had already been to Mrs. Mitchell's, Forage, and Beyond the Gate among other top-rated picks in the area, and didn't realize when booking that Cabin 1865 was also a top reviewed resto. The night of our reservation, before going down, we did look up the menu and noticed the reviews were quite high but after having eaten there, I honestly don't think their current overall rating is high enough. Cabin 1865 is easily the best restaurant in Dufferin, its only competition for the top spot being possibly Mrs. Mitchell's. The entire experience was five stars from the time we walked in, being presented with an amuse-bouche before we even ordered, a simple yet perfectly balanced selection of appetizer and main course options, ending with such an exceptional dessert selection that we had to try more than one. But the best part wasn't even the food itself... The service we received rivalled the best hospitality experiences we've had in world class cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, NYC, and Paris. This mostly came down to one person: Jillian. She is an exceptional asset and truly made the night one we will never forget. We will mostly certainly be returning for future special occasions.

Ishrat and Sebastien were such great servers! Had a great dinner, They provided lots of help and solutions for my allergies, and I had a great time all around.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The wait staff and kitchen staff were fantastic. The food and wine were absolutely delicious and flavorful. Despite the cold temperature outside (-19 degrees), we had a lot of fun. We dressed warmly and used the blankets provided. It was a great experience overall, thanks to the staff!

We had a fantastic evening at 'Globe' in Cabin at Hockley Valley Resort. The food, wine, and service were outstanding! Alexis, our server, did a wonderful job and truly enhanced our experience. We especially enjoyed the bubble for intimate conversation. Thank you for a wonderful time!
