Originally built in 1871 to serve travelers using the Grand Trunk Railway, it now features beautiful woodwork, stained glass, etched windows, and tin ceilings, to complete an old English atmosphere. The menu includes traditional English fare like beer-battered fish with English cut fries served in a variety of ways, or contemporary creations like soy and ginger marinated beef tenderloin, and their award winning roasted tomato and wild mushroom soup, garnished with Stilton, basil pesto and croutons.
The menu is not extensive and there was no overall 'theme' but the food we had was pretty good. They recommended a great wine and the waitress was excellent - both friendly and helpful.
We booked at the last minute and were glad we did. Not a fine dining experience if that is what you want but a comfortable experience. We split a salad and the entree portions were a good size. My husband had a Thai noodle type dish and he really enjoyed it. I had the prime rib which came as I requested. We didn't have dessert but marvelled at a couple of plates that went by.Read more

Proudly standing atop the West Hill of the beautiful Georgian Bay City of Owen Sound, The Highland Manor is a magnificent 1872, 7500 sq. ft. Victorian mansion featuring relaxed accommodation in an elegant setting. In the summer, after a day of taking in the stunning scenery of the Bruce Peninsula, relax on the wraparound verandah with a glass of wine and enjoy the breeze off Georgian Bay. In the winter, explore the area's many groomed Cross-country ski trails or curl up with a good book by the fireplace in your spacious ensuite room, or in our inviting librarHighlandmanor web editsy or music room.
Finally, Frankies Lounge is open again, and it's beautiful. Not only is the 70s retro feel there, but the food was excellent. Fish and Chips the best and my friend had the Filet Mignon....mmmm so good. You gotta give the NEW Festival Inn (Frankies) a try. We will be back.Read more
