When Toronto-based 'foodie' couple Jeff Kirker & Karrie Galvin make a change - they go all the way. A few years ago, chef/food stylist Galvin & businessman Kirker sold their downtown Toronto home and relocated to Lakefield, Ontario to fulfill their lifelong dream & return to Chef Galvin's roots (she was raised 10 minutes away in Bridgenorth, ON). The couple purchased a rambling, three-storey house from the early 1900's to restore (with their own two hands!) and turn into their home and restaurant. more... See more text

    Outstanding

    The Riverhouse Company is an incredible change of pace for both Lakefield and Peterborough diners who are looking for quality food at a more than reasonable price. I have a very busy work schedule but I manage to find time to go for dinner every month. I have tried every dish on the menu, My favourite plates would have to include the Mussels Appetizer, The Asian ginger sauce, is incomparable, I spent time living in PEI, where Mussels are fresh in an unimaginable abundance but Chef Karrie's attention to detail and high standards blew away anything I had on the east coast. every mussel is hand scrubbed to ensure the patrons never see any trace of barnacles. The Mussels are a great plate to sit with on the patio with a nice cold beer The Gnocchi with Roast Chicken became an instant favourite of mine. The gnocchi is rolled out by hand. The precision and intricacy with which they are made is impressive to say the least. The chicken breast is is cooked perfectly; it is crispy and juicy with a slight hint of lemon, not to mention the size of the breast. considering the above, it isn't a surprise to learn that the chicken itself is of the highest quality. The dessert menu is no less desirable either, with a fresh pie or tart nearly every day in the summer. And a range of ice creams made in house. The service is always amazing. The staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list Jeff, the general Manager and co-owner is almost always there to ensure an enjoyable night. The house is beautifully restored, and showcases local talent, both paintings and photographs by local artists can be found hanging in the lobby and dining rooms. I haven't got a single bad thing to say about The Riverhouse Company, you can imagine my excitement in learning that they will be opening for Lunch and a Sunday Brunch.

    wonderful

    Every special occasion we make our way to this wonderful place for some of the most amazing food the kawartha's have to offer. Local, fresh, and true quality inspired. Consistently this place goes above and beyond to ensure that we are spoiled in a fashion that most local restaurants cannot. We have tried everything on the menu and all items have a distinct originality and quality. The sunday brunch is beautiful, A must try is the eggs benny. If you want to impress your guests, date, or yourself and be spoiled for a nite, go here.

    Great for a Treat!

    I took one of my friends visiting from out of town here for a nice dinner on a Saturday night. We had a reservation at 8:30 but didn't get seated until well after 9pm. Luckily we were having a nice evening out and were happy to sit at the bar with a drink. Our server was great and the food was AMAZING. My only complaint was they did not seem to be very apologetic for making us wait 45minutes for our reserved table. Perhaps they could have given us dessert for free? Instead of charging us $6 for a small bowl of ice cream!
