Have you ever watched a movie where the upset patrons steam over certain tables being waded on as if they were the most important people on earth while the observers get extremely poor service? Yes? That was us last night. FOODThe food was absolutely SPECTACULAR. I started with the daily soup that had some sort of coconut in it and Oh. My. God. I would have had 4 more bowls of it. I’d love to get my hands on this recipe and try to make it myself. My husband had the stone fruit salad and he said it was like “4 different meals at once” with flavour popping out from every bite. My main was the steak which in my opinion wasn’t anything ultra special, the sauce was fabulous but the meat was, well, meat. Hubby had the wild boar and loved it. They also had a bread that was made from discarded grains from a microbrew across the street. It was fabulous and everyone was raving to their servers. However, this is where the experience faulted BIG TIME. The dinner began with us being placed at a single table two tables down from the bar, in the middle of the room while the outer ring of tables sat vacant. Our table was similar to sitting in the middle of a busy hallway and was quite annoying to be honest. We asked to be moved and the manager was quick to allow it with no fuss. Our server was very, very, very slow. When we were seated there was a good 5 minute wait until we were asked about drinks with only 3 other tables filled. After we made our drink order it was close to 15 minutes before they came. *We could see the bar... it was empty*. There was yet another wait between the drinks and ordering the apps and mains. The apps came and the drinks sat empty for the *entire time* it took us to finish them and the mains were delivered from the kitchen from a young man and our server, or any of the other 3 buzzing about didn’t stop in until half way through our meals. Our server noted “I noticed you were looking at the wine menu”. This was easily 25 minutes prior. Our mains sat empty on our table for another 10 minutes, with empty wine glasses and no one stopped by. We finally decided we had enough as the service was atrocious and asked for the bill. That too took 10 minutes while they prepared my “birthday” plate (two chocolates and two macaroons). This may sound picky and minor, but here’s the kicker. I counted the number of times and servers that hit the “regular” tables. The table near the bar against the wall was 9 times by two different servers in the span it took us to get one visit. The group of 4 at the round window table was 11 visits by 2 servers and staff. The couple against the wall near the entrance, at least 8. They were clearly regulars or perhaps worth more money than we were to the restaurant and it was VERY clear. If you want good food, come to this place but don’t expect a ten out of ten unless of course you’ve been there before. I made the choice to support local instead of heading out to Kitchener to a competitive high end restaurant. Should have just made the drive. Enjoy, folks!

Betula Restaurant

Reviewed By Andrea C

We each had the burger and fries tonight. Each of us "loaded" the fries as well. The burger and fries were excellent. Great flavour and well cooked. The bun was perfect to fit the burger. We started off with the popcorn perch which was just melt in your mouth awesome. For desert we had the Chocolate terrine which was lovely to end the meal with and not too heavy or overwhelming. What a great experience in Dundas! Well worth the drive.

Beautiful place. Amazing food. Lots of food. Clean. Fantastic staff. We went on a Monday so it was fairly quiet but the staff were fantastically attentive. The food tasted amazing. Highly recommend the melon and prosciutto and the Huli Huli Chicken. Although the price is a little higher, the taste of food and amount of food is 0 worth it. Will definitely return.
