Restaurant On The Knoll - Picton

I am surprised by the negative reviews of this restaurant because I really enjoyed it. I arrived around 10 in the evening, so it was too dark to see any view.

The only redeeming feature of this restaurant is the beautiful view of the lake.

This was our first visit to this restaurant. The server was friendly, but the service was quite slow. However, we weren't in a rush, so it wasn't a major issue for us.

While the restaurant is convenient because of its location to the accommodations, it does lack somewhat in being able to serve a HOT meal. Every meal that I had there was cold. Very disappointing in that way. Most of the servers were very good but I did have one for supper who would be better of cleaning rooms as her attitude and service were really bad. When she remembered to come back to our table, well after we were finished, and realized that she had forgotten something that went with the meal, she said "oh well, you don't need the extra calories anyway". That was rude in my opinion. No apology from her for forgetting. No adjustment to the bill. Poor, poor service.

We have been to this restaurant quite a few times over the many years we have been cottage owners in the County. Each time we go it seems increasingly worn out and the food has been more disappointing each time. Nothing tastes fresh or housemade. This time we had salads, wings and fries. Wings tasted like they came from a box and the fries were frozen. The salad was the bagged iceberg type with hard packaged croutons. Service was very slow as well. This location is a jewel, it's too bad the resort isn't better maintained. We won't return.
