The best food in Goderich! Maybe all of southwest Ontario.Genuinely nice people. Everything on the menu is wonderful. Pad Thai might be the best Pad Thai I have ever had. Lived in Asia for 13 years so that is a great complement.Enjoy View all feedback.
What Norma King dislikes about Thyme on 21:
on Wednesday we made a family pilgrimage to goderich to try another excellent meal in thyme on 21 December. after 17 years operation close peter and catherine the best restaurant in Goderich and most likely at the huron coast. that has been more than a decade in. cheaper place for us, and we are very sorry that it is going to end. We hope that soon someone else will use this magnificent house for a new restaurant wit... View all feedback.

Fabulous cuisine and staff and owners. Will be missed
My wife and I had an absolutely amazing dinner here this evening. Michelle was our server. She was very friendly and professional. The food was fantastic. We had the beef tenderloin and the pork chop special. Both were perfectly done. The wine list, although limited, worked great with the food menu. Michael (the manager) was amazing as well. We definitely will be coming back when we are in town. The only thing I'd change is the font on the menus. We almost didn't make a reservation because of how the menus looked, but don't be scared! What they saved on the graphic designer they put into quality and care.

It took me a while to write this review because I really wanted to give a good rating, since the ambience and service were both so lovely. However the food simply was not. While the crab cakes were delicious, they were absolutely tiny barely a mouthful, and each sat on a few measly leaves of spring mix. For $7.5 apiece I would appreciate even a little bit more salad, or something, but this is a recurring trend at this restaurant. For my main, I got the maple pork tenderloin which came with a delicious sauce. The pork was a little overcooked and chewy, but that wasn't the biggest issue. Once again, the portion was almost laughable. I could eat three plates of this and another entree myself, and have room for dessert. The saving grace was the sweet potatoes, which were delightfully caramelized and roasted to absolute perfection. The other entree was fish of the day, which turned out to be salmon on that particular evening. It was unfortunately very bland, along with the rice pilaf. Nothing to say except utter mediocrity. Got some creme brulee for dessert, which I have no complains about. It was delicious. Also forgot to mention, the free bread at the start was also fantastic, but there were only two half slices of it (you can get refills for 75¢ I believe, which I made the mistake of not doing). I really wanted to leave a glowing review for this place, but simply cannot for a meal that cost $150, I went home still hungry and had to pick up snacks for later. And I'm a fairly small person (5'4, 120lbs), so I can only imagine dining here as an individual with bigger stature. It is a shame though, because the vibe and the wait staff were some of the nicest I've encountered.
This is the best restaurant in Huron County. Very friendly service and the food is excellent. If you are in Goderich and want a great restaurant, this is the place to go.
All the food was amazing and locally sourced. The home made onion sage bread starter (free) was possibly the best bread I'm ever tasted and warm from the oven. My rolled soufflé was delicious as was my partner's grilled salmon. My soufflé came with the soup of the day which was a cream of curried cauliflower. Soufflé was awesome and not something I have very often. The ambiance is very elegant in an old Victorian home and the hosts are very welcoming. Great experience!
Best fine dining restaurant in Goderich! Food is locally sourced, and consistently excellent. Owners are extremely nice! Staff as well. Menu has something for everyone including Gluten Free Options.
Just about the loveliest people I ever did meet! Only fine dining in Goderich, but it is nicely if simply done in a century home. Menu for lunch selections are fairly limited, but delicious. We had the crab cakes which came with sweet potato fries and Caesar salad. Crab cakes were crabby (not too much filler) but teensy. Serving size was fine, but each cake was like a meatball. I prefer one big 'un. Lemon sorbet was dessert. Super light and tart and perfect ending for lunch on a hot day.

All about this experience was wonderful. the staff was incredibly friendly, eating was spectacular, the prices were totally in harmony with the quality of the food. everything was great. we have to start bangkok garnelen and they were fabulous. between us we have pad thai and...Maple pork as entrees and they were also incredible. nothing but wonderful things to say.
We have eaten numerous times here and the food and service are exceptional! every court is consistently fabulous! very elegant, but still with a casual feeling. highly recommended!
This was a wonderful find! My husband and I shared the crabcake appetizer which had some zing and great flavour. I ordered the beef tenderloin which was cooked to perfection and my husband ordered the two lobster tails. We asked if we could share. The...kitchen was SO accommodating!! They split the beef and lobster and gave us each our own surf and turf meal. It was excellent! When we asked for dessert with two forks, they just cut it in half and gave us each our own plate. The service was warm and friendly and made us feel like regulars, even though it was our first time there. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will return again next time I am in the area.
What a terrific place to bring friends and family. The serving staff, chef and owners are always so accommodating and skilled.Highly recommend going.
Tried the pecan crusted chicken breast, and loved it. The mustard sauce was very tasty, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. My wife raved about her tenderloin.
