“ My partner and I came here during a weekend while at Deer Lake Wilderness Retreat. Our server was very friendly and loved chatting with her. Our wings were hot and juicy. Honestly top-tier. Shrimp basket was great. Nicely fried. Cauliflower bites were ok! Not the best but not the worst! Thanks for making our evening great! ”

“ As a professional chef with 26 years in the industry and currently working as an executive chef, I truly appreciate when a small operation delivers big on quality and heart — and Bernard’s Bistro On The Lake absolutely does that. While the menu isn’t extensive, it’s well-curated and perfectly balanced for the relaxed lakeside vibe they offer. Everything I tasted was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and served with genuine smiles. I especially loved the Ham and Cheese Melt — the ingredients were all top-notch, but it was that fresh, crunchy crust sourdough that took it over the top. Simple, honest food done with care. Wishing the team at Bernard’s all the best — you’re doing something special out here! ”
“ First time here from Niagara, and everything was spot on! Even the cat was loafing perfectly Food was homemade, filling and delish, nice portion sizes, staff was very kind! Definitely recommend! ”
