Very enjoyable evening celebrating my aunt's birthday. The staff are very accommodating to my rather restricted diet and prepared a delicious meal for me and all the dinner guests in my party. I love the view of the lake from the dining room and there's lots of outdoor seating for warm weather dining. We will return often ?

One of the very few actual restaurants in the minden area. The food is actually quite good and not terribly priced either. I never leave hungry. Drinks are reasonably priced and they have a orettybdecent selection.Some nights, if you go there, they have live music. Pretty nice, though at times it may be a bit too high a volume. If you want to go to just talk then I'd avoid the music nights. They are really neat though.Service is really well here. It is recommended that you reserve a table. Usually they can accommodate you regardless though, just might have to wait a few. They are very nice and very attentive.Honestly one of the obly places in Minden that I would actually recommend to go out and eat at.

My husband decided to take me out for date night to The Rockcliffe. It was absolutely amazing. The tomahawk steak was the best steak I have ever had. Cooked perfectly. Our server was super. Exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be coming back.Also, our dog got in on it and hasn't left the bone alone. ?

New favorite in the Haliburton hood… we had driven by this spot a million times but never knew there was a new Inn / Restaurant. A menu you may be more used to seeing in a cool bistro in the city but wow it was good. I normally wouldn’t take the risk of ordering risotto or mussels in a restaurant so far out of the metro area but this was really good. Never had chipotle based cream sauce for mussels but it was kick butt! Tasty with a spicy kick. Wife had the tenderloin which was collected medium rare to perfection with a peppercorn sauce. I had the signature burger and it is the best in the area. Great, friendly service from Nicki. Well done! We’ll be back.

Our waiter Kevin was a lot of fun and definitely made our dining experience enjoyable. The food was outstanding. From the specialty cocktails and delicious appetizers to the main courses, everyone at the table loved their meals. This restaurant is a hidden gem.

Great food, great service, really cool atmosphere, you really need to see their outdoor set up it's a really nice place to enjoy the view of the lake. You can tell the owners care about this place with the attention to details. I'd come back again.

Amazing restaurant! Great atmosphere, terrific service, and the food was incredible. I highly recommend the P.E.I. Mussels, and the chicken supreme. Wasn’t expecting to see poutine on the menu, but like the rest of the food we tried, it was in a class of its own. One of the best poutines ever tasted, the cheese curds and gravy really carried the dish.

What a wonderful restaurant! We where staying at a beautiful cottage close by and decided to have dinner at the Rockcliffe. Great decision, we sat outside with the kids, and they took full advantage of the lawn games, which maybe our dinner that much more league and enjoyable. The food was amazing. I had the Smokey ribs and fries, the ribs where so tender falling off the bone. My wife had the chicken confit, and it was unreal.Was so good we came back the following night!Great selection of beers and very tasty cocktails.Also the service was great. Kevin took very good care of us!Only regret was not getting on of their hoodies.Can’t wait to go back

My wife tricked me into going to the Rockcliffe saying she wanted to buy one of their T-shirts. We decided to stay for a drink and enjoyed the wonderful picnic tables outside. Then she decided maybe we could stay for dinner, so inside we go to find an entire table full of friends there to surprise me for my 70th birthday. The entire staff was in on it, I had no idea...very sneaky.My wife said that the staff had been awesome to work with in setting up this surprise party. Even the waitress Kate kept me busy while the quests kept sneaking into the restaurant. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was so nice. They even hired my wife's son to be there as the restaurant's entertainment. I was so impressed. If you want a great dining experience then this is the place to go. Thank you everyone who helped put this together. It was a total surprise.Darryl

Did not stay overnight so no idea about rooms.Reserved a table for our 15th Wedding Anniversary, place looked nice and the server was nice and polite. Placed our order before a couple other tables and it was a simple Wings and Fries order, both other tables had elaborate meals and were able to be served and eaten before we even had ours. Server came out after 40 minutes and said it was on its way but after another 40 minutes we decided to leave. As we were leaving they brought the food out, my Wife being as nice as she is said we we would take it to go as we want to support local business. The second we paid for it Lisa came out to offer us a discount but since it was paid for that offer was rescinded. We were offered a business card with nothing written on it so we could possibly have a discount next time if we do decide to go back but doubtful that if we went back anything would be done.Best thing about the night is that our Grand Kids heard about our experience and had a Anniversary Dinner ready for us when we got home! The food we brought home may have been good at the restaurant but was cold and flavorless by that time.We were told they had a medical emergency that evening in the kitchen which if was true is unfortunate and hopefully the employee is healthy and ok, luckily the emergency didn't affect any other tables!!!If we had a inclination our experience would be better the next time we would have accepted the gift card, we did say to give it to one of the reg customers there....

Very lovely boutique hotel. Restaurant was one of the best meals I have had in years. Mussels were insanely good, the best I have ever had. Great evening overall, great music too! A hidden gem.

Wow, what a great place with extraordinary service, and great food. Also big screen TVs to watch games. Clean bathrooms, the whole place was nicely furbished.. we dropped in on Friday night without reservations, it was busy, and reservations are recommended at peak times. Also nice was there was no loud music playing to drown out conversation.Food & drinks: Great

We were blown away by our dining experience at The Rockcliffe. The food was excellent, the atmosphere warm and relaxed and the service the best I've experienced in a very long time. Our cottage is just down the road and we will be returning!

We ate at the restaurant only. Food and service were excellent. Our party had the mussels, fish & chips, and mushroom falafels. We also had various beers and mixed drinks... Everything was delicious!I'm giving only 4 stars because we had called more than a week in advance and reserved an outside table, and when we got there we were told there were none available for us... Unexpected and disappointing.

My wife and I attended on short notice and they were able to seat us on a Friday night. We ate an amazing appetizer, meal, and delicious dessert. Great service. No empty glasses or stomachs tonight! We will be back!
