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

We were told that the resto was dog friendly on the terrace…so we arrived with our two small dogs and were warmly greeted. The terrace was as advertised in the photos. As my gf is Czech, we knew everything on the menu and opted for...two specials. She had the goulash which was amazing. I had a veal schnitzel with a dark Czechvar draft and felt like I was back in Usti…or Praha…. We are going back for more of this amazing food experience.More

The restaurant was empty at 1 pm on a Saturday. Two waiters sitting at bar playing on phone. No greeting no smiles drop menu on table and left. Ordered and food was brought out quick but not great quality. No refill on water or no...visit to see if I needed anything or if food was all right. When finished had to go to the bar and wait for bill. No bill produced and credit card machine was put in front of me ( I was paying cash). I needed a receipt so I had to ask for one. No thank you or anything. Very cold service. I normally tip very well at least 20% and higher if service was exceptional. This time left $3 about 10%….. likely will not returnMore

We ordered a borscht soup, a salad, and pirogies. Soup bowl was small, salad that composed of some lettuce leaves, half a tomato, a sliver of onion, was small; four small pirogies in a small pirogies dish. We had to pay $46 for this. A...ripoff? It certainly felt like it. Oh the quality of the dishes- below mediocre. Oh! We went to another place on that street for a sandwich which made us happy. $10.More

I called today to ask about details regarding the menu. I had checked online but it kept scrolling past each page after 3 seconds. I called the restaurant. I mentioned the online issue and that there was not a pause function. In a surly tone...from a male voice I was told I could "figure it out". When I asked if a menu could be forwarded as an email I was told no. There was a quick hang up before asking me to call back later, or to ask for my contact information.More

Ths staff were very friendly and when it...got busy even the chef was helping at the tables. Highly recomended.More

Though only gave 3 stars I still recommend the restaurant, just misses the mark on a few things like cleanliness and atmosphere. Ultimately the food is good and reasonably priced, service is comfortable and relaxed. Had a craving for a schnitzel as haven’t had one...in a while, and was not disappointed.More

We get there around 2pm, and it was empty. We ordered borscht and perogies, salads, junior schnitzel and burger. What they call "borscht" is just watery, pinky veggie soup in a tiny plate. No rich flavor... meh... it deserves only "meh". I saw how they...were microwaving it... Perogies were good, tho. I was distracted so I am not sure if they were also microwaved. "Junior schnitzel" is going right after the "Pork schnitzel" in their menu, so we decided that it is a chicken one, but unfortunately it was also a pork schnitzel. We probably had to ask before ordering, but it does not eliminate the fact that description in menu is poor, cause "fried to perfection" can easily be replaced by "pork", or maybe they hint that they other schnitzels are not fried to perfection. Not sure. Salads were 90% lettuce, but looked okay. Burger? They brought it plain one, but we asked for some greens, and the waiter brought everything we needed. Kids liked burger. The staff was very friendly (really bright spot), but food is, let's say, around average. Maybe I am still offended by borscht.More

A large group of 15 of us went to have dinner at this restaurant before heading to the play 'Back to '59'. This is a family restaurant. They accommodated us in the back room, service was excellent, food was delicious and staff were attentive to...detail. Definitely worth a stop for schnitzel.More

We enjoyed a pilsner beef stew dish with dumplings, a traditional dish. The service was good and the food very good. A nice place to have a friendly home cooked meal at a good price.

The best way to deal with the allergy is to advise the restaurant of the issue and ask for their suggestions. There are always options available.
