Couldn’t say enough about the amazing experience my family had at this restaurant. To start the curb appeal is phenomenal, landscape, location, and exterior building are beautiful. The interior space is decorated so perfectly, elegant, but not stuffy, contemporary, but still cozy. All the details that went into this restaurant are perfection. The food is top-notch. Excellent selection of wines and beautifully curated menu. The service is exceptional as well. Our server was so kind and sweet and extremely informative. She even went out of her way to bring a special birthday dessert for my husband. Would highly recommend and look forward to our next visit.

This is a wonderful restaurant in a very special setting. It was our wedding anniversary and we were looking for something special, and we found it. The ambiance, decor, service and food were all outstanding. We will be back!

Finally, a 5-Star Gem in Orillia – The Ktchn! After spending a couple of years searching for a truly outstanding restaurant in the Orillia area, I can confidently say that I’ve finally found it — The Ktchn. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm, inviting ambience that feels upscale yet genuinely comfortable. It’s the kind of place that immediately sets the tone for a memorable evening. The food here is simply on another level. Every dish is crafted with incredible care, showcasing the passion and talent of the chefs. You can taste the difference — this is gourmet dining at a 5-star level, without a doubt. The menu itself reflects thoughtful planning and a true dedication to quality ingredients. Each option feels intentionally selected, offering something special for everyone while maintaining a cohesive, high-end experience. Beyond the food, the setting is absolutely beautiful. Being located on a golf course means you’re treated to stunning views year-round, from lush summer greens to breathtaking snowy landscapes in winter. It adds so much to the overall experience — whether you're enjoying a quiet dinner or celebrating a special occasion. And if you’re lucky enough to catch one of their live music nights, it only elevates the atmosphere further. Great tunes, gorgeous views, amazing food — it’s the full package. The Ktchn has quickly become the place we turn to for birthdays, anniversaries, and those “just because” memorable nights out. It’s a true treasure for the Orillia area, and I couldn't be happier to have finally found it. Highly, highly recommend!

Honestly, this place is something special. The steak was cooked perfectly, the food quality was top-notch, and the whole vibe of the place was just amazing. Beautiful atmosphere, great music, and seriously good food — not many spots around Toronto check all those boxes, but The Ktchn absolutely does

My parents hosted our co-ed baby shower here last Sunday and it was beyond expectations. The food, the hardworking and friendly staff, the ambiance was all 10/10. All our guests were impressed with the environment and the food & drink, I would recommend The Ktchn and its staff again and again for hosting events, but also just for a nice meal out. My partner and I love coming here for a special date night out as well. It never disappoints.

We stumbled upon The Ktchn during our vacation and were blown away by this hidden gem. The cozy ambiance, festive Christmas decor, and spotless cleanliness made it feel like home. I ordered the Creme Brulee, which had a perfect texture and no eggy smell, the Pistachio Cheesecake with a tangy sour cherry sauce that complemented its mild sweetness beautifully, and the Caesar Salad, perfectly marinated with bacon and a flavorful dressing. Despite being a group of 12, the staff were incredibly organized, welcoming, and attentive. It was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend The Ktchn for its delicious food and warm atmosphere!
