We enjoyed our recent dinner at Chemong Lodge. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the French onion soup. The restaurant manager also checked in with us, which was a nice touch.

Because of a special event, all remaining tables were packed into one room. With all the noise, kids running around ( shouting out when they had to poo) etc. it was more like being at Chuck E Cheese or a sports bar. Obviously, the restaurant can’t control its customers, but cramming us into a small area of the restaurant was certainly not a fine dining experience. I wouldn’t recommend going there if there’s an event happening and you want the regular menu. The food and service were good, just not worth the money for that kind of experience

We thoroughly enjoy Chemong Lodge whether it be a lunch, dinner or holiday brunch! The best in the Peterborough area. It is 5 star on all accounts, but the staff go above and beyond to make you welcome and well looked after. Cass couldn’t have been better catering to our group of 10 for Thanksgiving brunch🦃

We got to Chemong Lodge only to find it was closed. Open Table had our cell # and email. We should have been notified ahead. We only drove @ 20 km but what if we had come from much further away?

Not our first time but this time we attended with visitors from Scotland who absolutely loved it as did the rest of the family. Mika, our server was excellent and very attentive. When we were leaving Jeremy very graciously gave us a tour of the garden and filled us in on all the upcoming and ongoing events. Outstanding everyone!!
