| - I just changed the restaurant "type" to German. I went here based on the number of Yelp reviews and the fact it said "Canadian (new)" for restaurant type. I was intrigued enough to take some friends here.
The good news is that we discovered a quaint little area of GTA with a bunch of restaurants, pubs and shops. The bad news is that when we come back, we won't be heading back to Old Country Inn.
It's not that it was bad - the food was ok, but nothing special to come back for. I had the gazpacho soup (which is seasonal, don't expect it all of the time), which was better than my entree - but again nothing to write home about. My friends had potato soup to start.
For main course, we each tried a different schnitzel. I had the Schweizer Schnitzel (think chicken cordon bleu) which is served over a mess of potatoes and steamed brocolli with a cheese sauce (just like the menu describes it). Again, it is not that it was BAD, it just was "ehhh" (like the 2 stars I am giving the place).
Service was middling - inattentive and unfriendly. Plus she never filled my water glass.
The decor is just what it looks like outside - an old house. Not quite romantic enough for a dinner with your sweetie, and not posh enough for a business dinner. If you're grandparents come to town, this would be a nice place to take them, In fact, there were quite a few diners when we walked in at 7:30pm on a Thursday night, but by the time we left at 9, we were the only people.
