Merrill Inn - Picton

Friends who live in the area recently introduced us to the dining room at the Merrill Inn...we chose to sit on the patio as it was quieter and the temperature pleasant for dining al fresco. All of us started with salads, either the Caesar or their signature salad, followed by the Ontario rack of lamb, the duck and the pickerel. All were beautifully prepared and presented....and delicious! Dessert followed -- and coffee....the restaurant has a nice wine list showcasing local Ontario wines, ciders and beers. A very lovely and memorable evening...

Another fabulous meal prepared by Chef Michael. I was a little disappointed that his famous and delicious crab cake appetizer had been replaced by pickerel cakes, but not for long! They were fabulous, creamy, moist and enough for sharing. I had the rack of lamb, which was perfectly cooked and the lentil, green bean and sausage accompaniment was very flavorful. The tenderloin with chimichuri was also exceptional. Great wine list, great service.

Cosy restaurant in a small b&b. The food was very good and well presented. I had the duck main course and that was really enjoyable. Staff are friendly and helpful

While there is a really diverse menu, we were a group of 5 who simply dominated the room as it really is very small. And we could hear the conversations around us so not recommended for intimate dining. Bread at start of the meal is amazing! Wine pairings recommended by server were average - not very knowledgeable on wine types i.e. called a baco noir a heavy red

The atmosphere and décor is wonderful! The service was excellent. We are Vegan and the chef was very accommodating and prepared an excellent meal. It also had the best wine list in Picton!!
