The Waring House Inn - Picton

All the things that you consider (if we have dined here in the midst of a global pandemic) that waring house was very pleasant. we sat outside in the garden, listened to live music and were served immediately with friendly service. the food was delicious and came out immediately. if they are looking for a quiet outdoor menu in a warm summer night, I would recommend!

It started good when the waiter explain the menu, they all sounds delicious. The fish we ordered was dry, tasteless, and not fresh at all. The risotto rice came with it was smooshing. The other food we ordered was steak with blue cheese and caramelized onion( you can choose beef blue cheese and tarragon butter sauce) first they didn’t bring any sauce with it after i had half of it i asked about the blue cheese and caramelized onion he told me that was a seasoning for the steak!!! I was so confused since it wasn’t my first time eating steak, then i found a hair in my mashed potato! I didn’t bother complaining about that, cause i afraid it turns out that was a seasoning for mashed potatoes! I had to asked 4 times to get a glass of milk for my kid. It was after we finish our precious dinner that they brought us some milk! We paid $130 for this unpleasant dinner( 2 beer was included and a kids menu food)

We love Waring House which has been our go to spot during cottage seasons. This particular dinner was by far the worst and hopefully an exception. The Perch fritters were simply deep fried dough Perch be damned! Duck breast was chewy and flavour was lacking. Overall, it was not the usual high standard we were accustomed to at the Waring House.

The room where we were seated was right beside the bar and it was very noisy when the band was playing.

We were very disappointed in the food other than the pickerel was lovely. One steak was over cooked, one was undercooked, the chicken was dry, and my vegetables were so cold I had to send them back too. The server was excellent, but waited an hour for our dinners to come. My perch fritters were spongy, but the Caesar salad and asparagus soup was delicious. We certainly won’t be rushing back, and it was my 76th birthday.
