Terry McNaughton's Baby: only a chef who is enthusiastic about railroads would operate this business. Located in 100-yr old railroad cars, it must be a nightmare to operate especially under winter conditiions. Situated beside the lake with a view over the Port of Orillia, Terry and his faithful staff operate a good restaurant. The food has been improved in 2009... more

The draw here is definitely the novelty of dining in an old train. I would not return for the food alone. We had toyed with the idea of just having a few different appetizers and after our meal I wish we had done just that. The best part of the dinner was the baked brie appetizer, though even it tasted... more

I have been there many of times and dined in restaurants all over this country, and must say that it is very reasonably priced and perhaps next time you should wish that someone else was not there the same day. It was our wedding that you so happed to wait for the restaurant staff to reset, and the temperature that... more

We ate here on Jan 3, 2008. Three of us had the three course specials ($29), two the Salmon in Creamy Tomato Horseradish Sauce, one had the Chicken special and my wife had the filet that was on the menu with bruschetta as a starter and the chocolate cake with hot fudge sauce for desert. The soup with the special... more

Great ambiance and something to do @ least once, but the food is overpriced for the quality. The dessert menu is very much a list of plain items dressed up to look complicated. We had reservations and vouchers from a package purchased with our stay @ the Stone Gate Inn(highly recommend) but they sent us off 2 times due to... more

I haven't dined there in years - while the decor and atmosphere was charming, I found the food to be subpar, over-spiced and overpriced. I don't mind paying extra if the food is worth it but in this case it wasn't. The novelty of dining in an antique train car does not make up for overpriced, subpar food! more
