Food was amazing! Drinks were excellent! We spent wonderful time celebrating my husband's birthday. We liked piano performance a lot. Thank you for great service!

Was trying to figure out where to eat in honor of my birthday. I wanted to eat somewhere fit for a queen. Where else would I eat other than at The Olde Schoolhouse Restaurant where Queen Elizabeth dined in 1997. What an honor to dine in the same place as royalty. This also happens to be their 40th year anniversary. Here is my breakdown. Ambience: Its a quaint little schoolhouse on the outskirts of both Brantford and Paris. Its like walking into history with its oldschool look and feel. We were seated by the piano which added to the ambiance while the piano played. It was a beautiful, old school, and enjoyable dining experience. Food: There are lots of different dining options available. I really liked that they had several junior" options available which offer a smaller portion at a lower price point. They offer pasta to fish to steak and so much more. I liked that my entree came with soup or a salad. I started with the beef and barley soup which was definitely made from scratch. It was homey

The 5 star restaurant was incredible. The prime rib was delicious, the French Onion soup was incredible and the dessert was delightful. The service was beyond reproach and I will be back again for my 10th wedding anniversary this year.// Updated //So upon returning to the Restaurant I was greeted with the same friendly welcome as before. This time around we ordered the Crepelle to start before my wife enjoyed the bacon wrapped filet minion and I ordered the liver and onions.All meals were exceptional. Finished it off with a sensational tiramisu.I also enjoyed the Pinot Noir.

Such a beautiful restaurant, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported back in time! The most excellent staff you’ll ever experience. Food is incredible, the decor, beautiful, you’re always made to feel very welcome. This is our “going out for a very special dinner restaurant.” Recently attended a surprise birthday party for a dear friend. They have a nice little room in the back for 12, with our own private washroom, and a small room where we put the gifts. I will tell you, we we were boisterous, but since we were separate from everyone else, no one was bothered and we had the time of our lives! Let them take good care of you! And, enjoy a delicious meal.

This is a restaurant that clearly tries to punch far above its calibre.My wife and I frequent fine dining restaurants in Toronto and Oakville. The Olde School restaurant tries to present itself as fine dining, but the atmosphere, the service and the food are not even close to good enough. It tries far too hard to be upscale and fails.When we walked in for Sunday brunch, we were asked if we had a reservation, which we didn’t. Instead of saying no problem and seating us, the hostess said “okay, I’ll be right back”, making it seem like it would be difficult to seat us. They had about 4 or 5 tables of people in the entire restaurant. There were a LOT of open tables.We made the mistake of not looking at the menu before coming. We were hoping for a solid brunch menu and it was pretty disappointing. There are appetizers and a very bizarre fix priced option where the fixed menu items don’t seem to go together well at all.The atmosphere is stuffy. The wait staff are far over dressed and you can tell this place tries way too hard to be upscale.We had about 3 different wait staff and we were interrupted probably every 5 minutes throughout our meal to ask if we wanted more coffee, orange juice or water. Instead of working around us, they kept saying “pardon my reach” and constantly reaching across the table.The bread we got was cut in a weird way so that the pieces weren’t actually fully cut. If it was truly fine dining, they would have cleaned the crumbs off the table between courses, before changing cutlery. They don’t do this.For appetizers, we got bacon wrapped scallops, which had no flavour and were seemingly cooked from frozen. We also shared the smoked salmon appetizer, which was just okay. I would’ve expected some sort of pickling of the onions or something at a restaurant like this. They were just plain, red onions.For mains, my wife got the eggs Benedict and the eggs were poached hard. That was a big miss on a basic brunch item. I got a very disappointing diner quality omelette. We both have a love of diners and wouldve been okay with the quality of food had it been a diner, but a place like this should have much better food. Very disappointing - we won’t come back.

Amazing food, ambiance and service. Shannon was beyond Wonderful. Highly recommend The Olde School. Yes, it’s pricey but hey, you only live once and it is truly worth it.As for all the negative comments from all the “Karen’s” go to McDonalds. It sounds like it would be more to your liking.

Amazing experience! Dining here makes it seem like you're far from home and taken back in time. Truly a remarkable experience and the steak I ordered was the best I've ever had and the value for the price is incredible.

I had high hopes for this dinner. Unfortunately, the experience was less than ideal. From the reviews, maybe it was an off night, but I can only review our experience. We had a larger party and that could have played into the experience, but they should be able to accommodate that. If not, let us know while booking and we can look elsewhere.The décor paints the picture of an old place with a rich history. The different levels, seating area and wall art makes for a cozy feel.Keeping things short…the drinks were good and the server assistant was very attentive. The server and manager were a little cold and even seemed annoyed by the situation. The food was just okay and on the cold side. It was late, we had a long day and we all just wanted to eat and leave. It took so long to get the food, sending anything back would have made the issue worse. Along with the food being a little cold, it didn’t wow us. For the price, we should have been wowed.

First time there today for a birthday. Service was fantastic and the food was amazing. I had the catch of the day with the mixed salad and the chocolate mouse for dessert. Looking forward to our next visit
