Reviews for The Bistro at Lora Bay in Thornbury, ON
Booked reservations for a birthday celebration Sunday evening, mid summer. Expected a great food experience. Very disappointed-... basic salad, poke bowl not available, the ramen bowl was mediocre. Outdoor tables weren’t clean- we had to request they wipethe table. No bar tender for mixed drinks. The 2 young women servers were lovely. We will not be back unless there aresignificant changes to the kitchen. Read more
Great view of the golf course and Georgian Bay (if you can dine outside weather permitting). We were slightly disappointed on... the food front. We ordered 4 mains: Crispy chicken burger - solid 8/10, could use some additional toppings or toppingoptions. Calamari - tasty, dry/just right (not overly oily as you would find some to be), but lacking value (dish was verysmall for a main, and for the cost). Pasta special was a turkey bolognese - it was alright, a little underwhelming; however agood portion size. Veggie options lacking - we had the med veg stack, a couple pieces of portobello, 1 slice of eggplant, 1slice of zuchhini... Wouldn't recommend. On the upside, had great service and a lovely rose. We would most definitely come backhere for drinks and the view. Read more
Great location staring over the 18th hole and the water. Be patient. The food service is slow. Enjoy the view! I ordered a... Cesar wrap and kettle chips. The wrap was good although the chicken was skimpy. The kettle chips were not edible. They were sostale they could not be chewed. I mentioned something to my server only so they don't give them to anyone else. Although he saidhe would take something off my bill he did not. This is very much a local place. Read more
Two stars only for the gorgeous view on patio. It was toooooo slow for food 20-30mins, maybe it was Sunday. Food is not better... than frozen food. I found scallops and shrimp in lobster and crab roll. Service? I don’t want to be mean to server. Generally,service was not good. Read more
I was referred by a friend. I’m happy I listened and reserved a table. Food is great. Noah was our server and he was awesome... as well. The view is so beautiful and I shared a couple pictures to see. Go ahead and enjoy this place for yourselves. Read more
I went to a catered event so I can't speak about service during regular hours and in season. The space is gorgeous and very... welcoming. The food was amazing! The space is large but you still feel comfortable and you can engage in conversation with thepeople around you. Nice views of the golf course. Highly recommended for any type of event. Read more
Had a wonderful birthday dinner. The view of the bay from the outside patio was stunning. The service and the food was... impeccable. Would highly recommend if you're in the Thornbury/Meaford area. Can't wait to go back. Read more
Overall experience was great and very relaxing. Beautiful views and friendly service but didn't get utensils until after the... food was served. Calamari and caesar salad were tasty but the main dish disappointing. We ordered the Special, Curry Short Ribwith Rice and Naan Bread. Never got the Naan Bread but server rectified accordingly. The rib was cooked well, but the currysauce unpleasantly drowned the rib and the brown rice. Sauce did not taste good (powdery curry taste or like it was out of ajar). Poor presentation. Not worth the money. Will be back but won't order this dish again. Read more
