Service was very good. Very few customers. However, we found this place to be extremely expensive. We ordered 2 soups, 1 order of wings (8), and 1 macaroni & cheese entree, 1 soft drink and 1 glass of wine. All came to $71.00 - before...tip. Sorry, but this is out of our league.More

I dropped by with my son to have an early dinner, we asked the server about couple of items on the menu and she answered Chicken and waffle is great and fish and chips is the best item on the menu!! Our food arrived strangely...very fast !!! Soon we found out why the chicken was okay and maybe just about average ( my son wanted to be nice ) the waffles were soggy and terrible! The fish and chips was even worse , soggy and most likely microwaved and the fries were even worse. I did not want to make a big deal about this and make may son uncomfortable but the right thing should have been to send both plates back. We ate as much as we could, paid and get out of there but I feel we should have let them know. Very very poor quality food and an extremely dishonest waitress. Do not recommend this place.More

Another great experience at BVR! My daughter & I had an early dinner, dessert & fun drinks on their patio. Thanks for being our favourite local restaurant!

We visited here 2 times in March. Once for snacks after a production at Theatre Orangeville and the other time we had dinner before a show. Each time it was with a group of 8 people and all were pleased with their food choices. The...onion rings were the hit each time. The menu had lots of choices and all items were nicely prepared and presented. We would certainly go back.More

This wonderful restaurant is a hidden gem in town. During COVID, to help support local, we often ordered takeout from the BVR. Service was amazing, portion sizes were great and the food was delicious. When the patios opened we took friends there for the first...time and they were very impressed. The patio set up is comfortable and inviting, the staff is friendly and welcoming and to top it off the service and food top notch. We had the most pleasant evening visiting with friends and enjoying a great patio experience. Looking forward to many more BVR patio nights!More

The food was amazing plus our server Sofia was so amazing and...helped us so much! So happy to come back to places like this! If your in the area do check out this place!!More

This is one good looking restaurant inside and out. Understated on the outside and well maintained heritage building on the inside. Very cozy. Staff were great and food was excellent.

Met another couple for lunch at this converted RR station and were able to get a patio table in the sun. Food was fine, service was good but we were all bothered by many bees/hornets/etc. I was stung on the hand and 48 hours later,...my hand is still swollen. There are traps for these insects and if this is a common condition, it should be dealt with.More

Our seating preference was honoured perfectly - couldn't have been better. The staff were very nice - Denise seated us perfectly, our waitress Lauren was excellent - just the right amount of attention - we didn't feel neglected or overserved - very nice ! Everyone's...food was great (Chicken Waffle, Veggie Burger and Cobb Salad), - my Greek salad was especially notable. It was nice to have owner Angela stop by :) Looking forward to our next visit !More

Always nice to find a good restaurant close to the theatre (especially in view of the temperature outside which was not conducive to a long walk). We were a little early but seated immediately. The wait staff were very patient, coming back several times while...we decided on what to order. Service was quick and very pleasant and the food was excellent with good sized portions. Would return the next time we are in Orangeville. Free parking right beside the restaurant and a short to Theatre Orangeville to see Early Morning Rain.More

This was the first time here. While my daughters Beyond Beef Burger was very good, I felt my quinoa bowl so-so. It was cold and had a lot of pickled onions etc. Had a strong vinegar like taste/smell. I would go back. Service was very...good.More

Went there for a small Xmas dinner. Staff friendly and professional, Food & service great. The Braised Short Ribs melted in my mouth. From the discussion around the table everyone had a great time and enjoyed the food.

We recently had a rehearsal dinner at Barley Vine Rail Co. The food was really wonderful and the atmosphere was great; refined yet casual and fun. But, most importantly, our server Monika was just terrific. She was organized, calm, and positive despite some difficult members...of our party (weddings, amiright!?) and I can’t compliment her enough.More

Great service!!! Relaxed with good food and beverages. The Brussels sprout appetizer was delicious (maple syrup!). Loved the wild boar tourtiere. The steak was cooked as requested (medium rare). Good selection of craft beers. Great approach to dessert - small tastes!

I would call them to see if they can accommodate you. I would also consider The Orange Bistro, they have a separate room for special events and amazing food.
