Langdon Hall Dining Room - Cambridge

Such an incredible experience! The food is always top notch, service is so wonderful, staff is very knowledgeable, atmosphere is so ambient and elegant, and the building itself is stunning! Our favorite dish was the ricotta gnudi, which literally melts in your mouth and as the staff called it, is a stairway to heaven . One of the best dishes I have ever had (don 't share this one, make sure you have your own!!! . Other standouts included the butter poached salmon (it 's truffle season so they added lots of truffles , foui gras parfait (amazing texture , and the pistachio desert (crunchy yet smooth . We also tried the trout, bourbon pork and creme de homard which were all delicious and beautifully presented, but the previous items were absolute must-try! Can 't recommend enough! Definitely one of the best restaurants in Canada!! They even have someone playing the piano Saturday nights. The perfect spot for any milestone and feels like a little escape driving through the countryside!!! 5 stars!!!

Luxury done wrong- sommelier a bit gaucheLangdon Hall is an “ old English-Stately” type setting that is looking tired and run down. Langdon hall is a member of the prestigious Relais Chateaux association, I found the property did not live up to its luxury label. My first bad impression started in the bathroom. They seem to be having plumbing issues: toilet didn’t flush all the way and the sink didn’t drain completely. In the dining room, our table felt as though the top would tip off its base if enough weight was placed on the edge. The service was underwhelming. The waitress was polite and friendly but lacked the finesse an establishment with the only five-diamond award wining restaurant in Ontario would have. The real disappointment happened when the sommelier came to our table and immediately gave off an air of pretentiousness, drilling us on our overall knowledge of wine. The sommelier gave us two different whites to try but we didn’t like them. The whole wine choosing experience was so unpleasant that we almost rushed into choosing anything so the sommelier would lay off. Fortunately, unfortunately, the sommelier suggested a delicious white from the Burrowing Owl winery- quoting a price we were comfortable spending. We were later surprised to find a price much higher than the price quoted by the sommelier on the final bill. We brought this to the attention of the waitress and then we were directed to speak to the manager Katie. Katie was very understanding and was prepared to honour the price we said we were quoted. The sommelier joined the conversation and began to play semantics in order to attempt to persuade his manager into believing he had not incorrectly quoted the price of the bottle of wine. The conversation went from cordial to confrontational within seconds of the sommelier joining the discussion. The manager was quick to end the conflict and arranged for the final bill to be corrected. Perhaps the sommelier was having a bad day but not a 5 star experience. Redeeming feature is the food quality. The Ling Cod was possibly the best Cod dish I’ve ever had.

Everyone was amazing, very professional. They knew all the answers on the food questions. Jeremiah was over the top so professional and extremely polite and so pleasant. I would hire him in a minute. Wonderful experience. My guests were very impressed and want to bring their guests there. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Very unique and elegant experience. Service is high quality. Flavours are very unique and delicate. I was prepared for elevated experience and price but portions were insanely small. A salmon dinner for $60 barely had two nuggets of salmon and minimal side vegetables. Done dinner in four bites. Unsatisfied and hungry. Desert was lovely and shareable. Langdon can do better with some increase to portion. Would love to go back but just couldn’t, if portion size had been reasonable it would have been home run and 5 star.

Rating a little harder based on reputation and high pricing, so expectations are high. Atmosphere and reception was very nice. Service started out exceptionally, but deteriorated drastically by late in the meal. Tenderloin was a little undercooked to what was requested and tough compared to top steakhouses. Appetiser portions are minuscule. Wine cellar is incredible.(pricing is about $40/bottle higher than other restaurants). A good restaurant, but nowhere near the lofty standards advertised.
