My husband and I did an overnight jaunt to Gananoque from Ottawa to celebrate his birthday this week. We'd been to the Maple Leaf Restaurant at least twice in the past so decided to head there again for lunch. The restaurant was quiet, it being...a Wednesday afternoon. The server was very apathetic. Hubby ordered a beer with his lunch and Matt brought it to the table with the can of beer set inside the glass, which personally, after the Pandemic we've just gone through, was a little oogey. Don't pull a beer out of the fridge with your hands and then stick the beer can inside the customer's glass. Just don't. The sign outside the restaurant said that one of the Lunch specials was the 'Bratwurst' so I decided to order that. When I ask what the special was/what the price was, Matt replied that the price was the same as the dinner menu but that you got a free drink, coffee, pop, etc. with it. To me that's a pretty lame lunch special, jus' sayin'. And when I ordered a drink for the side, a chocolate milk, Matt checked and came back and said they were out of milk and did I want a soft drink or iced tea. No, I did not. So much for my lunch special. Hubby ordered the Jr. Schnitzel which looked like it must be half of a regular size Schnitzel. Fries and coleslaw on the side. I know prices have risen in the grocery stores and in the restaurants of late. My Bratwurst lunch consisted of one sausage, 10 pc. of fried potato (probably the equivalent of one small potato) and about 1/2 cup of dry sauerkraut. I was charged $19. $19! Not good value. The Jr. Schnitzel was $15. We have fond memories of being at the Maple Leaf restaurant in past years, but we won't be going there again any time soon. There are enough other restaurants in town to try. Disappointed.More
