Reviews of Gem Variety & Restaurant (Winery)

Dino

Great food, price's aren't too bad but could be a little better. Definitely worth a stop

Megan Blumenthal

Unfortunately this wasn’t the spot for us. We weren’t too fond of the menu and the prices were really quite expensive for the offerings. The service was lovely though.

Elana O

Excellent!!

Teresa Jordan

A little pricey

Luc Rivet

Always enjoy this place, food is great, portions are large, and service is great.

The Botman

Way over priced. 8.99 for a garden salad? 6.99 for an omlette and if you want fries with that, another 4.00 or 5.00 for a side salad ? If you're reading these reviews, look on the elliot laker menu for prices and see for your self.

Carson Wilcox

Solid place for a meal. Worth driving out to the new sub for it. Lovely staff

Joannie Yurchuk

dena lynn milton

The food, price, waitresses and the variety of options are the reason I have been there twice already.

Jennifer Carter

Home cooked meals without the dishes. The people seem happy to work here and i love that. Holiday feasts are excellent and convenient.

Anne Dahmer

Good food and lots of it. Lovely and clean and the service is friendly and efficient. Can accommodate large groups which is great especially when family come to visit or a community group has a lunch get together and need the seating space. Definitely one of my other favourite places to go.

Julien Barberi

Good homemade meals, not expensive and in a really beautiful land

The Lyon

You'll be hard pressed to find better food. These ladies make beautiful plates no matter what the order. This place is one of the positive things about the jewel in the wilderness.

Paul Wesley

Terrific! The poutine was huge. They weren't afraid to pile on the cheese! A poutine is a poutine at this restaurant! The serving was huge for the large! I ate it all regardless heh heh heh. The cheese burger with the works on it was a special treat. The burger was huge I tell you. I've been to many ma and pa shops especially in Toronto where I lived before. This restaurant is gifted and thank you for blessing us with your amazing food!

Brandon Cuthbertson

Disappointed with every penny I've spent, I don't know how you can call this resturant. Get 2 phones, Your service is horrible.

thom arnold

Sadly since Covid the menu is on the wall only. I couldn't read it so had to leave and eat elsewhere.

Dave

Decent food. Reasonable pricing.

Hood Grimm (Matt)

Very welcoming and fast service

Haley Wilcox

Got undercooked fish when I ordered the fish and chips. Was soggy and raw. Wait staff didn't seem attentive, took a while to get attention to tell about the fish. Replaced meal but she didn't seem impressed with me. Which was a bit odd seeing as no one wants raw fish. Wasn't trying to be mean, just don't want to be sick.

Michel Bolduc

Very friendly atmosphere

Cody Bradshaw

"Vegetarian friendly" but they cook their fries with the chicken. Will not reccomend this to anyone whom carry dietary restrictions. Staff were nice and accommodating but ho-lay do they need to seriously revamp their menu and the way they cook their product.

Donald MacLean

Great home cooked meals at reasonable price.

andrew ranger

I was not allowed to order from children's menu,. My tost tasted like it was buttered with lard, I was billed for a extra Meal, and when I asked for it to be fixed I was still over charged. And only received a partial refund. Never going back.. it sucks!!!

Sabrina England

This is the most disgusting food I have ever had! Soggy everything! Gross taste spent 45$ I would have expected to get good food for this price! Will never recommend to anyone!

Joy Martin

AUG 30 VISIT WAITRESS IS TERRIBLY RUDE. NO PLEASANTRIES OR BASIC VERBAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT... DIRTY RESTAURANT WHICH IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF SAFETY.. ITS FOR SALE.. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE PERSONABLE WILL BUY IT Food is subpar. One of our party cannot eat bread/potatoes ( home fries) .. the waitress was unwilling to submit order for two eggs only instead charged for entire breakfast which was over 7$..( for 2 eggs!) Eventhough on the kids menu.. eggs only is an option. Waitress claimed that " i only work here,..i don't make the prices".. Very few places to get a decent meal in this town and with a waitress like that... this is one less place to eat.

Gil Lamoureux

Good Breakfast

Pauline Brunet

Good food at good prices. Best French Fries in town.

Michael Boudreau

Candis Reid

Good food and friendly service.

Tom Kile

Ate lunch with Eva Tomalin. Nice place.

Bernd Kopp

Since the vegetarian choices on the menu are not that plentiful the kitchen came up with a veggie quesadilla which was very yummy ???? Very friendly and helpful staff. Although we came in half an hour before closing they still served us good food with a smile and didn't kick us out at the top of the hour.

Julie Mongrau

Good stuff!!

Jane J Balfour

Fabulous food and service!

Pat Tichbourne

Very plain tasting food. Portions were very minimal and prices were the same as the much tastier restaurants in town. I'm not sure that I could recommend this restaurant to friends or family.
