Baileys Homestead - Keswick

Today's order, the HOMESTEAD BURGER. 8oz hand pressed and flame grilled burger on a brioche bun. Sweet maple bacon and cheese were extra. Before I go on, total kudos on the bacon. Rich maple flavour that really made its point. However, the burger was over cooked although my guess is that they do not grind their beef on site so can't cook their meet any less then well done. Regretfully, this led to a pretty dry burger. For $14 burger I expected better, although great touch with the hand cut, although slightly cold, fries. . Score 6/10 . My first visit to Bailey's and I will be honest front and centre worst possible night as they were hosting a great painting event with a 40 excited participants. Service was attentive at first, however, once the staff started to focus on drinks etc for the event we were forgotten. My dining companions finished their drinks during our garlic bread with cheese appetizer and we were never given a chance to ask for a water or other beverage. We quickly ate and scurried back to the car seeking desert elsewhere. However, will give them the benefit of the doubt tonight and head back for a second chance. Over all, average quality food, although prices were on the high side.

We have been here several times with the kids when we go to the Library or when they go skating. It is a nice little restaurant built into the Arena. There are many tables in a rustic wood style motif that is not overdone. Being attached to the arena I expected that the meals would be very plain and kid focused. I have been happily surprised that the meals are not. This is an adult dining restaurant that also takes care of the kids very well. There are usually 3-4 families dining in the restaurant whenever we have gone. Not too busy and the food is served in a quick manner. On the menu there are a LOT of different things. Roast beef dinners, chicken strips, fish dinners, etc. There are so many options and I have had several different things, all of them have been delicious. The fries are great, the beef gravy is excellent, the portions are generous with everything that is ordered. The kids meals are excellent and come with ice cream or a cookie. I have never had something that I did not enjoy here. Prices are fair, $10-20 per adult entrée depending on what you get. We have gone to Baileys for dinner when we have no reason to be at the arena. We will be back, we enjoy it and recommend it to others.

My fiance and I were in once about a month after they opened. The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious. The menu had some interesting options. It's great to have another local restaurant in town.
