Menu for The Briars Resort & Spa in Jacksons Point, ON

Back in the hay day. I really mean in its heyday it might have been one of the most spectacular facilities 175 years ago.... Although they have continued to try to maintain the the utmost renovations that you can get with an old structure. Unfortunatelythe time has come when this property should really look at a serious total renovation. The people that enjoy this type ofproperty are becoming less and less as will be witnessed by the need for their services. Read more

I took my wife there last week for a couple days to celebrate our anniversary. We had stayed there a decade ago and loved... it. The food was definitely a cut above back then and was one of the reasons why we went this year. The accommodations were niceand the staff very friendly. However, we were extremely disappointed in the food. As well they had one poor girl running thelounge and waiting on tables! She had to run to run to keep up. I give her 5 stars. The first night I had the butternut squashsoup and it was tasteless even after adding salt and pepper. I heard other diners complaining about it as well. The entrees wereok but not nearly up to the standard we expected. The second night my wife had to order one of the appetizers as the main courseas the selection was poor. The veal medallions were recommended by the waitress. The meat was so tough you could hear my knifecutting through the meat. This definitely was not veal. We will not be back until they vastly improve. Read more

My husband and I had our wedding here and it was everything we had ever imagined. The staff was absolutely incredible and we... received so many compliments from our guests expressing the amazing experience they had. We worked closely with the wedding-daycoordinator Karine, whom we cannot thank enough for the hard work, dedication and tremendous support in keeping our stresslevels at bay when planning the wedding. The level of professionalism held amongst all staff members was unmatched, and we willdefinitely be visiting the Briars more often. Read more

I was here with a bunch of people for a friend's wedding over the Labour Day weekend. The Good: Scavenger hunt - Becka was a... hoot, and it was so fun! Wedding itself - well done, average food, great bartender, beautiful grounds Grounds - beautiful, wellmanicured and maintained The Bad: The cabin (Golfview) was dirty, the lamps had no lightbulbs and there were no spares in theplace No cutlery/plates/cups/coffee makers/utensils - had to bring our own everything except bedding and towels Service at therehearsal dinner was abysmal. The servers didn't communicate with one another and were confused, people didn't receive drinksthey ordered, the servers had their fingers in the plates they were delivering and were serving drinks with their hands at thetops of the glasses, billing took forever at the end of the night, we were given our bills right after dessert even though wewere still trying to have drinks and enjoy ourselves - it was just a lousy experience that made us all want to leave as quicklyas possible and go back to our cabins, even though we had activities planned and we had exclusive use of the room. The wedding -the servers were dressed in jeans or short skirts; it was very unprofessional I can't comment on the golf course because Ididn't use it, but it looked quite nice! I would never recommend that anyone have a function here. My friends and I had a greattime despite the cabin and the rehearsal dinner experience, but those things left a sour taste in my mouth and I will likelynever return. Read more

We went there for lunch. Huge disappointment. We started to go to the Briars since 2010 for vacation and to dine. I don't... understand why the service and food quality gone 10 miles South since 5 years ago. My food was burned. I have not had fish andchips so burned. Service was very slow. We waited 20 minutes for a server to give us the menu and waited 30 minutes for food tobe delivered. I had to look for the server (along with two other tables) because server went MIA. A catering person was helpingus to look for the server but could not find her. We had to get the bill to pay at reception. Read more
