Apps, pizzas and some wine before the theatre on a Saturday night. Food was very good, server was a very nice woman who was skilled at looking after her customers. Nice little dining area, lots of space between tables and quiet enough to chat with table mates. Great value and recommended. Only 8 tables so reservation is probably a good idea.

The food was amazing, service was impeccable. We asked for truffle soup which was not on the menu but chef regarded our request. Highly recommend cauliflower starter, Wilks burger in mains and cinnamon dessert of the month. Dessert of the month was beautiful to look at and delicious as well. Lovely night we had at LH Wilks Bar

About the restaurant
WE LOVE LOCAL. YOUR FARM TO TABLE HEADQUARTERS.

Now well into our third decade in business, Eddington’s attributes the restaurant’s success to creating flavorful and creative meals consistently using the best of Huron County’s bounty.
Owner James Eddington states “we are so blessed to be living in such an agriculturally rich area of the world”.
Although the local food movement is really starting to take off, it has always been the driving force in Eddington’s kitchen. A menu that changes frequently, as each season inspires the delicacies our region has to offer.
Eddington’s occupies the original Carling homestead (built in the 1870’s). After two major renovations, an addition of the a new dining room and a serene outdoor backyard summer patio, the restaurant has a clean and modern look while maintaining its traditional and warm feel.

As always, Victoria's has excellent food, great service and the nicest ambience you could find in a restaurant. My wife and I were there for our anniversary and the staff was so very nice and made our experience one to remember.
