Barley Vine Rail Co. - Orangeville

My husband & I went out for dinner, at the BVR, on the weekend. One of the specials of the evening was fried Calamari over a bed of spinach. By far, the best Calamari I have ever had.

Hadnt been there in a while and to us it seemed to have gone downhill. Had a friend visiting from Scotland and Rustik was closed so we gave BVR a try. Our guest had a garlic allergy and it was not well received by the server. We probably should have not overlooked the obvious signs, excused ourselves and gone somewhere else. Then the salmon plate arrived uncooked in the centre. We were told we should have ordered it well done as the default is medium (first time we had ever heard of having to order Salmon well done). It was addressed and we weren't charged for it but when the server brought the desert she said in a snarky way "no garlic or mushrooms in this". Our guest had already felt bad enough as it was. Also it was much noisier than in the past and noticed all the paintings were gone. The absence of those made quite the difference in the noise level and the ability to hear each other. Didnt see any of the great servers we had in the past so it's obvious there has been a regime change. In our opinion it is not as good as it used to be and no longer a good value. Even though they didn't charge us for the Salmon plate it still was not worth it for us. We won't be going back.

We were on our way home from a weekend at Lake Simcoe . We checked online and thought we check it out. We started with amazing Giant Onion Rings followed with some Smoked Salmon and cheddar perogies. This is a must stop.

Ate here with friends on the way home from Stratford Festival. Duck fat fries and poutine were complemented by homemade ketchup and garlic aioli. Highly recommend the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Selected apple fritters, S'mores and ice cream sandwich for mini-desserts. Attentive, helpful service.

Just had a wonderful meal at Barley Vine. Duck fat fries were so delicious, fresh, fresh, fresh! I had the Steak Frites and I could cut my steak with my fork. My husband had the Seared Cod with sausage, delicious! Our friends had the house specialty, Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf, finger licking good! Service was pleasant. You might have to wait 5 minutes longer for your pub fare, but everything is homemade fresh so it's worth it!
