text: Several recommendations brought me to the Emporium and I have to say I was disappointed I really liked the decor and general ambiance of the building The server was attentive and professional and I think it is pretty cool that they serve high tea I am a sucker for little bits of English tradition nnI did not have high tea instead I came in for lunch The menu seems to have a decent selection of normal fare with what I would describe as higher than expected prices for what is offered in the end I chose the bison burger over the lamb and beef options as it was advertised as being locally sourced I was hoping for something good which might have set my expectations unusually high nnThe burger was a thawed patty flat in flavour as well as make To be honest the entire plate was boring The condiments were served in bizarre little plastic tubs the same ones you might get soya sauce in from togo sushi stands For a sit down establishment that was a little strange nnIn the end this is a great locations that I am sure does many thins quite well but needs some revision more effort and more creativity with their menus nnRural Ontario need not be the land of the bland sandwich I am so sorry for that last bit
