The Axe & Paddle

What an unexpected gem! Great food made from scratch and presented beautifully! We ordered the Chicken Parmigiano and the Meatloaf Sandwich. Both were delicious! Definitely not your average diner fare! I look forward to eating here again whenever I'm in tge area!

Excellent, elegant, delicious and approachable. Staff were incredibly generous and knowledgeable. Food was remarkable. It's a real diamond. Worth the drive!

A lovely spot.
I was in town with a few hours to kill so after sitting by the river I wandered into this little restaurant for some soup and tea. I am glad that I did!

The soup was a lovely tomato & basil soup with Parmesan cheese. The soup was in a beautiful bowl and the flavour was full and clean; it also had a lovely aroma thanks to the fresh basil leaves on top. It also came with a bun which was crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.

I enjoyed watching the sun set over the river as I ate it slowly (about an hour without feeling rushed to leave)

The tea selection was small but well curated. And I was grateful to have it to go with the pudding that I ordered for dessert.

The decor is subtle, tasteful, and very clean with beautiful artwork on the walls.

I hope to stop in again next week to try another soup.

We love your family sized take-outs! What a treat to have a dinner pick up option with such delicious features and home style comfort foods that are made in house. Highly recommend! Looking forward to dinning in for a date night once it's possible and trying out some of your signature features.

Gem of a restaurant. Pleasant service. I had the maple butter pork chop which was succulent and delicious. My wife had the meatloaf sandwich, also amazing. We started with a Caesar salad, very good and not smothered in too much dressing. Only minor deduction for not having a proper exhaust fan - you’ll definitely have the kitchen scent on your clothes.
