Went here to celebrate with my partner in February. We had a starter, and two mains (10oz NY steak and fancy fish and chips). the food was absolutely fantastic. My partners fancy fish and chips appeared "small" and i was worried it would not be enough. This was easily discredited when she could barely finish her meal (aside from one bite for me!). Everything was delicious and we were given a nice corner view table overlooking the town. We look forward to our next visit.

Booked a reservation for the 1st time here for our anniversary at 8pm. Not much so can atmosphere. Service was so extremely slow. Table next to us was waiting well over an hour and hadn’t received their appetizers. We noticed they treated their server so politely even still. Their server seemed to have brought them over what looked like a plate of toast and offered them free dessert because of them waiting so long for their appetizers and then mains. A table on the other side of us said their food was cold when it did come out. We were so thrown off by this and had already been waiting ourselves an hour. We decided to pay for our drinks and said we were leaving, we were starving. Restaurant was empty. Manager/ owner walked out and yelled at us for wanting to leave instead of acknowledging the issue on their end and apologizing.Would have expected better service for a “steakhouse”.

What a disappointment. $62 for a glass of wine and a steak. They dont offer horseradish but did manage to give me a sliver. It had zero flavour and was consumed in 2 bites. I ordered mashed potatoes but they were cold. By the time i got new potatoes i was done eating. I had to ask for ground pepper and they dont offer sea salt. All you get is salt and pepper shakers. The steak was really salty. Not worth the price and i found the atmosphere gloomy. Pass this one by, they pretend to be high end but fail miserably

Servers are friendly and attentive but the kitchen let us down big time. My dining partner ordered the Badley Burger and it came out and I got a bowl of fries to hold me over until they could remake my fish and chips. Well they remade it and over fried frozen fish. The result, charred batter and slimy fish - no thanks.

We arrived at the restaurant at 4:30. Initial service was good. Greeted at the door, seated quickly, ordered and received drinks. Food took until 5;45 to arrive and we were told that our booth was reserved for six so we would have to be done by then. Ordered the fancy fish. Food was good but very small portion of salmon and six French fries for the price. My wife ordered the chicken Parmesan. The chicken was over cooked and dry and the noodles were undercooked. She returned most of her food. Very disappointing.

Living around Elora we like to support local.We have not been to "The Badley" since it opens, so tonight we went and tried it.Restaurant looks great. The night started off really good. Our waitress telling us the soups etc. We ordered a few drinks and than order our Food. We arrived at the restaurant at 5 pm. Not busy at all. We ordered 4 Apps. All of them were disappointing. Beef Carpaccio you had to look for the meat under all the arugula maybe 4 slices, Beef Tartar only thing you tasted was the mustard ( what a shame) Tuna tartar was o.k. Hot Olives was the best.Order the Fancy Fish ( small Portion) but waitress said this before.. but our food was at least hot. Fish and Chips over cooked and cold fries. The juicy burger was not juicy at all. It was a small over cooked patty what was so dry and cold as well of the fries. The burger were not eaten. We send it back. Table was never cleared proper , glasses left we had to move things to the other table. Not sure if waitress was alone serving. Oh i forgot to say we waited 1 hours for the food after we ordered. Yeah over all not a good experience. Way over priced for the small portions and quality of food we received and restaurant was not even busy . This was a big disappointment for sure

Had the hunters salad for lunch, exactly what I needed. I definitely will come back and try the mushroom maccaronaro and the French onion soup in the future! Thank you!

Came for a work Christmas dinner. Beautiful atmosphere but was very disappointed with my meal considering it was $27 for a small piece of salmon and 6 or 7 large fries. Should have ordered the steak like everyone else! No vegetables included. For the price you think you would get more.Parking: 2 roads closed because of construction near building so you have to walk a bit to get there.

Steak was OK, fries were definitely overcooked. Wife had chicken parm, she said the chicken seemed to be cooked twice and the pasta was overcooked. Will not be returning.

For a place that sells itself as a "Steakhouse" you would think the chef would know how to cook a steak. Ordered a $40 steak medium but it was served well done and the cut was full of fat. Our server was very nice but unattentive... went "missing" several times during the evening. Also, lose the table right next to the door... we were freezing most of the night. Having to pay for a meal for two that costs $160, I expect more.

Gotta say, for a steak house to serve what I ate last night was a travesty. I appreciate the place was packed, but my steak was like shoe leather. Mac 'n cheese was out of this world, however.

The chicken patty and fish seemed re-fried and the chicken patty was almost burnt. The service and atmosphere were nice. Not a crowded place. Went on a Saturday.

We just had a horrible experience here and it was due to the waiting staff. Didn't greet us at the door, didn't advise us if there was waiting time, seated us at a table with no cutlery, no napkins and no glasses. We were seated near the window where the hot food is served. Had such a fun time watching our food sit at the window, getting cold, made eye contact with our waitress who dissapeared behind a door and then showed up a few minutes later to pick up the food and bring it to our table. (Me and the husband were discussing if it would be rude to pick up our food by ourselves so we could at least eat it hot). And the crowning moment of our meal, I reminded the waitress that we had no cutlery, so she promptly brought us plate of cutlery with one napkin to share amongst my husband and I, as well as our two kids. It was hilarious time as my husband and I passed this napkin across the table from each other, so romantic. The food was decent but it did leave me wondering how much better it might have been if it hadn't been sitting at the window for 10 minutes.

I having been coming to Elora for 5 years - annual trip during Monster month. How is it possible I missed this restaurant! We had drinks in the afternoon and came back for dinner in evening. Our Server was Kara - and she was awesome - efficient, friendly with a good sense of humour! ?. The food was great - my husband loved his burger, and my chicken parm was one of the best I have had. The atmosphere and layout is cool and very inviting. All of the staff were very friendly and seemed to work well together - also adding to the atmosphere. This will my GoTo place from now on!!!

As the name suggests, the food is pretty bad based on the lunch I had there with two friends. The burrata salad as a starter was tasteless and nondescript. The chips served with a burger and fish and chips were over cooked and dried out crunchy. The burger completely overdone. I ordered the perch with potatoes and the piece of fish was so small it took four bites to eat it. The potatoes that were served with the perch were not cooked and I sent it back. The server was very nice and he apologised and said they would make me a new batch. The new batch of diced potatoes came within 5 minutes and it was completely undercooked and was not even warm. I could not eat it as raw potatoes are not particularly edible. The only nice thing about the dish was the sauce they poured over the fish. Overall it was one of the worst meals I’ve had in a restaurant for a long time. None of us would ever go there again.
