Donn Zver Pottery

It was our first time there. The food was amazing. We had the prime rib which was cooked perfectly! You have a choice of a soup or salad, a main and dessert. The maple creme brulee was really good. The maple syrup came from the waitresses family farm which was neat. Expect to stay a couple hours for the perfect dinner. Definitely going back. It was a nice touch that the chef also helped out serving in the dining room. Also, after dinner we wandered the pottery studio where you can pets the cats that roam in there as you look around.

Excellent Pottery Shop with tons of items to choose from, I found some beautiful additions to my pottery collection. Loved that antique cash register.

Very nice place. Staff is friendly knowledgeable. They offer classes and are enjoying full classes with a well designed roster. Excellent products on display for sale. Very pleasant experience!

We were introduced to this wonderful spot by friends. It is delightfully set in the greenery of the South Ontario countryside and surrounded by a beautiful garden. The lunch menu is top class. At our table we hugely enjoyed: carrot and ginger soup, salmon quiche, chicken phyllo and the berry salad special. We sampled carrot cake for dessert. Another excellent dish and not overly filling. The set price was excellent value. Service was friendly and very good. Later we browsed the Pottery shop and marvelled at the array of wares on display. We came home with a couple of items and a lot of good impressions. We will certainly go back.

Wow, wow, WOW! What a hidden gem this is. Felt right at home. Spectacular setting. Amazing food and perfect service and prices. Not to mention gorgeous pottery gifts. Returning with lots of friends! Tip: make reservations!

What a great little place that I wish I knew about a long time ago. Had to wait a little while as reservation times got mixed up but the staff were more than accommodating. Went through the pottery store while we waited. Some superb work to be seen there. Outstanding actually! I am going back soon to buy a few things there for sure. We got seated quite promptly under the circumstances. The whole table experience was excellent. Had some Detour craft beer and some whiskey. Enjoyed the prime rib and cheese cake immensely. The Cesar salad was exceptional also. A must check out! We will be back, no doubt whatsoever.

A wonderful shop with so many pots, plates, teapots, mugs and bowls plus many more items done in a variety of glazes.

I've been shopping at this pottery since it opened 50 years ago….. for gifts, for myself and sometimes just to enjoy the beauty of Donn's creations. Over the years, he's added many different designs and glazes to keep old customers interested and attract a newer generation. In the past, I’ve added 6 gorgeous custom made mugs to my collection, which he graciously agreed to make according to my specifications. Not only functional, they are works of art and a pleasure to hold and behold! It's definitely worth the drive to Troy, a charming tiny town, and spend some time at the pottery. Donn’s kindness and generosity, especially when it comes to contributing to both local and worldwide causes, are well known and appreciated. Shopping here is truly a delight!

Had excellent lunch previously, so decided to try dinner. Appetizers and dessert were fine, but the mains were verging on cold. Restaurant was busy, and did not complain at the time. Wrote to management to advise them. The kitchen staff and servers have a joint responsibility to ensure the food they are serving is hot, which obviously was not done. In response to my memo I received attitude, with final words do not contact me again". Great customer relations...they screwed up

The restaurant closed during Covid, and pottery lessons are given in that space now. But the pottery store has as many beautiful pieces (mugs, bowls of different sizes and shapes, jewellery, plates, ovenware, etc). The prices are reasonable given the high quality of the handmade pottery, all stained in hues from brown and tan to blue and deep red. Well worth visiting. The service is as friendly as ever. Good parking on site, and disabled friendly washrooms.
