Food Review: Weir's (Orillia)


The family friendly side of Casino Rama is located at the hotel entrance. 

Note: No children allowed to any of the restaurants entering from the Casino entrance.


The architecture of the hotel was very chalet-like and grand. It definitely felt like I was up in the mountains when I entered.

We stopped here to have lunch. And not being so selective, we decided upon Weir's (near the main entrance).


The restaurant was in the middle of the hotel (in a circle) and it was an open concept allowing for hotel patrons to look in and for Weir's patrons to look out.



At first glance, this restaurant looked rather fancy. 

And then when we sat down, we noticed a lot of not-so-fancy things going on.

First, the cutlery was not as clean.
The wait staff was slow, forgetful and rarely there
We had a wait time and when we looked in, it was less than half full

The menu on the other hand was very decently priced. They did the regular hotel type Western food. But I did overlook that they had an Asian flare for Congee. Interesting!

For myself, I went western and ordered a Reuben sandwich.


The food wasn't half bad. But it wasn't anything spectacular.


Overall, I might choose not to come here again. Without good waiters, the whole experience lacked in one of the most important areas.... customer service first.

Also, another thing to note, they don't allow take-out. But when I asked the lady for a box (not knowing they don't provide that service), she said she can give me saran wrap and a plastic bag, which she did.
