Le manoir qui abrite la Villa Cornelia a été construit en 1892 par Alfred M. Smart, un homme d'affaires éminent et président de l'Ontario Loan and Debenture. La maison se classe parmi les meilleurs exemples de l'architecture Queen Anne à Londres. Il a été méticuleusement restauré à sa beauté et sa splendeur originales en 1987-1988. En 1988, la maison a été désignée comme une propriété du patrimoine architectural. Villa Cornelia est un endroit pour se détendre, pour réfléchir sur notre passé, pour apprécier l'élégance gracieuse de l'architecture victorienne, et pour profiter des délices de la fine cuisine continentale.plus...Plus de texte

I had found this restaurants website and thought it would be a great place for my husband's birthday. It had stated it was fine dining but that couldn't be farther from the truth.
-The decor was so dull it was depressing.
-There was a thunderstorm outside and they didn't even have the fireplace lit.
-I had a beef/pasta dish, can't remember the title, but when it came out we had not a clue what I was eating! Imagine beef stew with only mushrooms and slivers of beef but with more of a gel consistency. Terrible!
-There was a large group in the next room and they were extremley loud we could not hear ourselves talk. The waitress didn't even think of closing the door.
-I would never ever recommend this place and everytime I drive by it, all I can think of is the amount of money we spent on such a terrible, un-relaxing evening.
Saturday night, not very busy, we had a dining room to ourselves- two couples celebrating anniversaries. We all ordered the Anniversary specials - two people $60.00 plus tax( great price). My salmon while tasty was a little dry, and my wifes chicken supreme was in her words average. Dessert was excellent, as was the South African wine we chose. The poor review comes from being rushed out the door at shortly after 10 pm, being asked twice if everythhing was alright with the bill when we had not even finished our glass of wine, and having the front door locked as soon as the last person in our party exited. Great place for reasonably priced food, just dont plan on lounging on a slow night and enjoying your friends company.

The service was OKAY, however the food was awful and of very low quality for all of us(GM chicken for sure). The drinks were of the lowest quality liquor and a bit watered down (marguerita). The lemon torte was not a torte at all, but a lemon mousse pie. No complaint for the other desserts. Will not visit again.
We went here on a wednesday night and had the place to ourselves...which felt alittle weird but after a couple minutes we felt right at home. The atmosphere was wonderful and so was the service. The wine was great but the bruschetta was not what we expected. It had peppers and zucchini and I really dont think it had any tomatoes at all but it was still very good. My steak was cooked perfectly, although I dont think it was actually beef tenderloin, and the vegetables were to die for! All in all it was a great evening.
