Loondocks Restaurant

9 of us ladies ( The MM's) Enjoyed our evening at Loondocks. I was pleasantly surprised by this fine dining establishment in a mall at New and Appleby. Food was great as it wasn't the usual heat and serve fare served in most places today. The chef had inspired dishes, reflecting our Canadiana cuisine. The staff were outstanding and knowledgeable about the menu and the wine choices, Everyone enjoyed the crab cakes, innovated salads, yummy soup. Mains enjoyed were the Angus Burger with Wild boar bacon, Artic Char, Atlantic Halibut in a lovely creme sauce and the Chorizo Gnocchi. The desserts were delish and specialty coffee perfect, especially the Loondocks Affogato. Loondocks is a great choice in Burlington and it is not overpriced and has loads of parking.

Wow! Wasn't expecting this experience at all. It was so yummy! 😍 Partner had the Arctic Char and I had the Wild Boar. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. Coat check was brought around and helped put on is just the luxury touch. The atmosphere was charming and quaint. Easily hold a conversation between the table. The price is high but for the quality of food that was presented I was okay with it. Definitely somewhere you take a loved one for an anniversary treat

Absolutely a must visit restaurant!! I wish I could give more stars. We came here to celebrate my engagement with my family and my partners family, and so we were a decent sized group. They made what was already a memorable day, even better. We were served by Brittany and another waitress (I don't recall her name - sorry!!) and their service was phenomenal! We were never rushed to order or to leave (we left approximately 15 minutes after closing), which meant we were able to really soak in this great occasion. Brittany explained the menu, answered all our questions, and was just a general delight the entire night. She offered to take our family's photo as she knew we were celebrating- I would go back for her service alone. On top of that, the food was AMAZING, and the entire family were still talking about the restaurant days later. I cannot say how much it meant to me that we got to have such an amazing celebration, and that I can always look back on the day with so many happy memories. Safe to say, we will be returning, and have told friends and family that this is a must visit if they're in the area.

A perfect evening at Loondocks! The food is beyond incredible, the chef has created such a unique menu with amazing flavours. We had the red pepper and goat cheese arancini, bison carpaccio, lobster risotto, and wild boar tenderloin, all delicious! The atmosphere is warm and homey while classy; perfect for a date night or family gathering. The servers took great care of us too. This place is a gem, I highly recommend!

We had an incredible anniversary dinner at Loondocks last night. We were lead to this restaurant through a gift card from a family member, and we would definitely come back. Our server Britt was excellent, kind and attentive. She offered us a compensated glass of prosecco to celebrate our anniversary and offered us expert descriptions of all items on the menu. My husband had the lobster rissotto and he greatly enjoyed it. Said the lobster was cooked to perfect. I had the mushroom Wellington and it was so mouthwatering. The seasonal and local menu cannot be beat! Make sure you enjoy a dessert as well!

An absolute Gem of a restaurant! If I could give more stars I would! The food is fresh, creative, and beautifully presented. It’s like when each dish is brought to the table you say “wow”! You can tell everything is prepared from scratch and it’s obvious a lot of “love” goes into each dish. The atmosphere is classy and cozy. Casual fine dining at it’s best. Exceptional service, friendly, attentive without being intrusive. You truly feel like a valued guest…. for real! We had the Lamb Wellington – mouthwatering , melt in your mouth! The Gnocchi – apparently a signature dish they’ve had on the menu from the beginning - is superb! We added beef tips …yum! Our other guest added shrimp...equally delicious! I had the Arctic Char….light, moist and flaky, perfectly cooked with wonderful complimentary sides. Good variety of salads and interesting starters. Cocktail menu is unique and creative ….. try their Salted Caramel Espresso martini! Great selection of wines and specialty coffees. A thoroughly delightful dining experience on all fronts. We will be back! Special thanks to Brittany and Heather for making our evening so wonderful!

Enjoyed dinner at Loondocks, the service staff was very friendly and helpful. The appetizers looked delicious but the servings are big. The steak was cooked perfectly and the risotto with shrimp was so tasty. Would have enjoyed dessert but we were so full. The music was not too loud, was just a nice relaxing atmosphere. Lots of parking which is always helpful!
