Lakefield - Selwyn

Incredibly average food. I had chicken souvlaki, and the predominant spice seemed to be burned meat. It was very flavourless, and everything else that came with it tasted prefab and basic. They were touting a new menu when we went in August 2021. Our waitress was friendly and attentive she admitted to being new to the restaurant, but she was professional and good at her job. However, the rest of the staff seemed to be bickering at each other loudly through the restaurant, and there was a larger woman who seemed to enjoy bossing everyone else around. She also kept removing her mask to wipe her nose with her hand, and then she would go back to working with snotty hands... so that was a bit of a turn off. All around they feature mediocre food and an ambience that left something to be desired.

3.5 stars An appropriately named restaurant which was surprisingly not listed on Yelp yet (let us fix that! My group of 7 decided to drop in after a morning spelunking at the Warsaw Caves, tired and hungry...borderline hangry. Restaurant size: Groups larger than 6 may have slight issues getting enough seating (we had to borrow a smaller table and 2 chairs for our 7 , and there appears to be a larger skew toward comfortable cab seating for 4 adults. There is a nicely sized patio at the front, which may be an option during the warmer months. Portion size: Mostly well portioned! Our group ordered the following: Fettuccine alfredo daily special: Quite well portioned, to the extent a takeaway box was needed Chicken souvlaki plate: Very well portioned with large number of chicken souvlaki pieces, a couple potatoes and a moderate sized salad Bacon cheeseburger w/ fries/poutine: 8oz burger with large amount of fries Chicken souvlaki pita and daily soup (chicken w/ rice : Standard sized pita; slightly larger than those found at Alexandros in Toronto... Service: Not too pushy at taking orders, not too slow at bringing food/drinks. Food quality: The burgers were cooked to a nice texture (not too dry/firm and still had the char broiled taste. Shoestring style fries, almost resembled those from McDonald's, but with much less salt. Although the flavours and sauce for the chicken pita was delicious, there could have been more meat included.The soup was quite flavourful and was full of ingredients. Final thoughts: On TripAdvisor, the reviews raved about the pizzas...we all regretted not getting one due to the potential time. If we're ever in the area, we'd visit again. We're not too sure why the water tasted so funny...but we're all still alive and well, so it's A OK!

-Best pizza around!! that thin crust wood oven type. -Delicious fresh Village salad is treat! It is a true Greek salad....no lettuce, just onions, olives, tomatoes, feta and cucumbers in a nice olive oil dressing. Delicious! -friendly, fast service. -they just to need to work on and improve their kabobs....not so good....just average .....and small.

Love picking up dinner from the Lakefield Restaurant. Food is fresh and always tastes amazing. I get the lamb burger and I highly recommend. Service is excellent as the staff is kind and caring.

Was a regular customer. I like to support my local businesses, but, my last two take out orders had food wrong and no salad dressing. On these two occasions I decided to just not say anything. Tonight I ordered for my wife and I, chicken skewer greek salad, gyros etc. The chicken was small and dried out, my gyros was NOT a gyros, it was a chicken pita! And, dried out! The chicken skewers were very small and I was told I should have asked for the large chicken skewers. I pointed out there wasn't an option on the menu to pick small or large. Won't be back unfortunately!
