The Curly Willow Eatery

The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Small menu, but it all sounded so good.

Quaint and friendly restaurant in Collingwood. Very cozy and well decorated. All aps were deliscious. We had the Coconut shrimp, spinach dip, baked brie and mussels to start. All 5.
For our mains, butternut Squash risotto and mushroom Ravioli tasted way better than they looked. The salmon was a hit as well. The surf and Turf Burger was a let down, because its not a homemade patty and that turned me off. The sauces on it and the shrimp were tasty and the fries came with some seasoning that was really good. Oh and love that they have mini deserts!
Will definitely be back.
A must try when in Collingwood!

Aperantly it's about them, not the atmosphere. It's on their time not yours. Food is priced high don't recommend this place.

Great food and an even better atmosphere. The owner of the restaurant and our server could not have been friendlier or more attentive. Generous portions (and wine pours!). We will definitely be back soon for the cozy atmosphere and yummy food.and the quickest credit machine in town! Thanks for a great night!

The service was excellent. The owners were warm genuine and lively. The food was very good and the atmosphere was home. Overall a great experience and great value. We will be back!

Consistently great service, casual, engaging, knowledgable staff - food is always a highlight - love the new menu.

Owner tells you to leave that he needs the table. We had paid our bill and were finishing our drinks. Tells us again to leave when we pause at another table to say hello to friends. Have heard of his rudeness from a number of people. First time experiencing it. Good food, rude owner. There are nicer ways to let a customer know the table is needed. With so many other restaurants who want customers, time to support them.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Curly Willow Eatery. Lobster grilled cheese sandwich, shrimp taco & fried chicken sandwich. Excellent food, great service, plus a cute patio.

Great atmosphere, delicious food and wonderful service. The food was so fresh. Seafood literally delivered an hour b4 we ordered. Great place to go for a good meal and glass of wine w friends or family

Health discriminators. I would never recommend this to anyone! They are very rude to pure blooded people and are just as bad as Justin Trudeau right now. It’s absolutely ludicrous!

Update: had a lovely dinner here! Staff was so friendly and enjoyable to talk to. The food was delicious! We had the mussels, lobster ravioli, and a trio of desserts.the Blueberry lime icecream was the best I've ever had!

My partner and I are travelling to Collingwood July 15 to 17th and I was looking up restaurants to visit while I'm there. I read reviews. I just wanted to let you know, that I'm impressed by your values in upholding government laws during COVID even while receiving so much harassment from the public. It's a shame you had to experience that while trying to operate in a tough time for all businesses. We will definitely ensure that we visit your restaurant on our trip and look forward to supporting your restaurant!

Omg! To die for steak!
Had their dinner feature which was a NY strip, black tiger shrimp skewer and a blue cheese sauce,! The ice cream is amazing!

Amazing spot! So wonderful that they continue to protect us all from the continuous spread of Covid 19. That's why we come! That and the amazing staff and food!

Owners of the restaurant giving themselves 5 stars. That's professional. Also, Lori A and Lori G suddenly have new 5 star reviews with pictures from the website, to cover up a bad review. I'm sure these are real people.good

Fantastic meal. Had the mushroom ravioli and it was incredible. But they wouldn’t give us the secret sauce ingredients for the surf and turf burger. ️

It was a great experience, well planned menu.

The staff was friendly and helpful. All six of us
raved about the food, tasty and bountiful. I loved my shrimp linguine. It had a good serving of
tasty shrimps that had just the right amount of
flavourful spices.
We'll be back.

Amazing food, lovely decor inside & fantastic staff! Highly recommend this little gem.

I have had lunch at The Curly Willow four times in the last year since I started going to the Blue Mountain area regularly. It is consistently delicious; there are plenty of things on the menu I would still go back to try and I am confident they would be equally yummy! I try to eat there at least every visit to the area which says a lot that I will go out of my way to have a meal there.

Everyone who works there is super friendly, energetic and helpful. They are extremely accomodating with requests.

Looking forward to my next visit - hope to be able to try dinner there soon!

Fresh ingredients and high quality meals
Linda will make you a dinner you won't forget
Thank you for being a safe place for the immunocompromised to eat in town. We surely appreciate you taking all the right steps and precautions to keep everyone safe~!

Mike and Linda have the best restaurant! We drove all the way from Niagara to enjoy every bite and sip.

The staff was extremely kind and accommodating, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS and the restaurant was so cute and homey. Definitely recommend it for vegetarians or vegans, their rose pasta was amazing. We were on a tight schedule so we couldn't stay too long but we let the waiter know and she was absolutely a start rushing to get us boxes and receipts! A great experience over all

Not a place for those with food allergies or sensitivities.

I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I do believe in honesty. We didn't get a chance to try the food because the restaurant's response to our food allergy was abysmal. This may be a great place to eat, but if you have food allergies or sensitivities, I wouldn't risk it.

When I made the reservation, I asked about their ability to handle my wife's soy allergy. They said it wouldn't be a problem.

While we were looking to order, we asked about a particular dish, and were told there wasn't any soy. But then the oddest comment, But you do have your epipen just in case, right? (For those unfamiliar with it, an epipen is a large needle filled with epinephrine, designed as a life saving apparatus to keep one alive long enough to get to the hospital. It's very traumatic to use the device and is definitely a last resort option.)

We were pretty shocked by the question. The server said she had to ask us because of liability issues. We have eaten in dozens of restaurants across Canada and a few other countries over many years, and have never been asked such a question.

The owner came over and asked the same question. We never talked to the chef, which is the typical way of handling such questions. The restaurant affirmed that there wouldn't be any soy in their food made in house, but they couldn't be sure of anything that came from outside. For example, they said their buns came from Sobeys, and they brought us the ingredients sticker from the package to review.

We have certainly encountered restaurants that were unable to handle a soy allergy. In those cases, they simply told us that it was not possible to avoid soy contamination, and we have simply left and found another place to eat. With most restaurants, after a short conversation with the kitchen, we have been able to order from part of the menu. We have never had a restaurant that asked us to keep dreadful lifesaving medical devices on hand just in case. We simply finished our wine, paid for that, and left.

It was too bad. Looks like a charming restaurant. I just wish they knew what they put into their food, and were willing to stand by their own preparation skills.

Amazing food and great ambience. It is so good and the owners are hospitable and the coffee is amazing along with their other drinks. I enjoyed it a lot.

I don’t know that I have ever experienced a restaurant as consistently wonderful as this one. The food is always delicious and full of flavour. The staff there obviously love their jobs (or are really good actors). I feel like they’re long lost friends. So wonderful! Great job team!

We had the most fantastic evening. The venue is cozy, staff is attentive and friendly and the food was over the top fantastic.far beyond my expectations. So excited to have found The Curly Willow Eatery and will be going back for sure.

Wonderful service food is served quickly and delicious. Best restaurant I have been to. 5 stars for this great place

Amazing food! We all enjoyed our meals so much, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Great service too and the back patio has a nice ambience. We will definitely be back again and again to try every dish.

Excellent service during COVID times. Take out was delivered curb side EXACTLY on time. Was hot and absolutely delicious. Once we are able to sit inside we will definitely be returning!

We ordered the Mother’s Day Brunch during the pandemic. Not only was the food warm and delicious when we unpacked it, they also included flowers, orange juice with champagne and two desserts. This is one of our favourite restaurants in Collingwood and we want to make sure it stays open. Thank you Linda and Mike for making this mother/grandmother feel special.

My Mothers Day gift from my daughter, was lunch delivered at noon from the Curly Willow. Superb meal included beautiful flowers, and mimosa fixings. One of the best Mothers Day gift ever!

My husband and I ordered from here tonight and it was absolutely delicious. Service was super warm and friendly, you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. I got the Thai curry bowl and he got the sirloin burger. The flavours and ingredients were super fresh and delicious. We will absolutely be ordering again!

We ordered take out tonight - what a fantastic meal my husband and I enjoyed! Thanks you for making the meal special and adding in a tasty tart for dessert!

A wonderful family run business who treat their guests beautifully! The food was delicious, locally sourced, and well portioned! I’ll be recommending the Curly Willow Eatery to anyone heading up to Collingwood, or skiing at Blue Mountain! We look forward to going back again soon!

I recently moved from Toronto and found this restaurant. By far the most warmest, most professional, best service ever would definitely go back.

I love everything about this place: Maybe the best customer service I’ve ever had, family owned and operated by an amazing couple, phenomenal homemade food and beautiful recently renovated restaurant and patio. I came in to get change for parking and one of the owners, Mike, generously paid for my parking meter. Then I sat out on the patio which I loved. Mike served me and he was absolutely phenomenal; extremely friendly, hilarious, polite and just an amazing host. I could tell he took great pride in his restaurant and loved serving people. He was also serving other groups of people who were obviously regulars and he joked around with them and made everyone laugh. His wife made me an absolutely amazing mushroom ravioli from scratch which I would definitely order again. The whole experience was so great, I can’t say enough good things. I will definitely come back the next time I’m in collingwood.

What a charming restaurant! Greeted by the owner who was funny, engaging and obviously so proud of his wife's cooking. I had their mile-high crustless quiche and side salad and it was excellent! My son had the chicken penne with rose sauce and loved it - really generous portions and top quality home cooking. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend it!

The owners have checked off all the boxes: decor, service, really creative menu, great prices, a very inviting patio, super friendly staff, local sourcing, delicious tastes, lunch and dinner availability. I could go on, but that'll stop you from heading down there. Also love that we can get some keto and gluten-free choices and have a glass of something nice with our meal. Thanks Mike and Linda, for blessing Collingwood with your talents.

Amazing little restaurant run by a husband and wife. The food is always on point and their rotating features are delicious. If you are in Collingwood you absolutely have to stop by and eat here although call ahead as seating is limited and this place is popular!

Mike and the staff could not be more friendly and accommodating and the food is incredible! We chose The Cury Willow as we are on the Keto diet and noticed that they had a few Keto friendly options.what we did not realize is that they have an actual Keto menu! We had the crustless quiche (how do they get that texture? Amazing), side caesar salad and in house homemade chocolate keto ice cream. The restaurant has a fresh and bright atmosphere, and the food is very reasonably priced which rounds off the experience. A must visit when in Collingwood:)

We came here for our wedding reception with a small party. Leading up to our big day we had a lot of issues with other businesses we had hired in collingwood, but the people and food at the curly willow absolutely blew us away. We could not have been happier with not only the outstanding service, but the unbelievably delicious dinner. Their new outside patio was a perfect setting to end our special day. We cant thank them enough, and if we could give them 10 out of 5 stars we would!

Fantastic little restaurant. My husband and I would eat here everyday if we could. The owner is very nice and personable and truly cares about your experience. The tables the decor everything about the Ambiance of the restaurant is so comfortable and fun. But you're there for the food the food is fantastic. Some of my faves are the French onion soup, the chicken sandwiches, the crab cake and the Caesar salad.
