We didn’t stay at the resort but had lunch and dinner there a few time based on another Canadian’s recommendation and we are so glad we did! The food was so good, not to mention the view. I don’t order prime rib anywhere as I never enjoy it but I took the chance. It was the best prime rib I have ever had! Also owned by a fellow Ontarian we are happy to support! Way to go guys 🙌🏼
