Delightful Hidden Gem in Barnhartvale! This garden centre, and little restaurant is full of knick knacks and rustic, country charm. I went to check out the live acoustic music by Dave Coalmine Band and was delighted! Fantastic Thai chicken bites and nachos! Crafty delicious summer bevvies to choose from as well! Impeccable service and a great venue all around. I loved it!

The Pond is my favourite local restaurant slash gift shop slash garden centre! The food is delicious and home made, with the feature lunch special of the day always being my go-to! The ambiance is charming with inside or outside patio seating that spills onto the lawn next to the pond and all of the plants for sale. They do off-sales of wine to take home and have a very cool selection of vintage candy as well as local honey, jewellery, soaps, and novelty gift items. The patio is dog-friendly and they’ll bring a bucket of water for your pooch. Call ahead to make a reso on their live music evenings.

Food is always delicious. I love the pond grilled cheese. All salads are also so great. The service is also very good. I can’t say enough good things about the food.
