Bar Mason

We recently visited Bar Mason at the Delta Guelph, and the experience was fantastic. Our server, Owen, was incredibly helpful and honest. He actually gave us a heads-up that we were ordering quite a bit of food, which we really appreciated! The atmosphere was perfect—peaceful and not busy at all. We started with some great drinks, including the Blueberry Smash and Raspberry Kitten, which were delicious. My boyfriend absolutely loved the Gryphon pizza and the Mason Wings; he finished them in one go! We also tried the Battered Shrimp, Matt’s Queso Dip, and the Veggie yam burger with green Salad. A highlight was their customer service regarding dessert. We ordered the Chocolate Cake, and when the first piece didn’t seem quite right, they replaced it immediately without hesitation. Owen kept checking on us throughout the night to ensure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find such attentive service. We will definitely be back

We had an absolutely amazing experience all around. We were served by Owen and we can't speak highly enough. He was fast, fun to talk to and even recommended his boozy high chocolate. The best way to finish a meal. The food and drinks were great. The pizzas are always a winner and the great was done perfectly. The veggie pizza was the favourite but overall everything was fantastic. Can't wait to go back. Thank you!!!!

We had a family Christmas dinner at Bar Mason on December 27. Our group of 10 adults and 1 child were given a royal treatment. Christina (I hope that was your name, and sorry if I got it wrong) and Harsh both provided excellent service for our group. They managed every request we had with professionalism and kindness. The space was neatly decorated and arranged to accommodate a couple of accessibility needs, but still extra room for my nephew to play and not sit through boring adult conversation. The food was impeccable. We had a set menu and our two options - turkey and short ribs - were juicy, tender and delectable. We had two salads, a soup, and a big tray of desserts. Once dinner was done, we were offered coffees and teas, and given boxes to take our leftovers. Thank you to the whole team for making our Christmas merry. We all had a fabulous time. I highly recommend this for any private dining events you are looking for.

Not sure if it's new management, or just new bar staff, but the service we had on our last visit was amazing. We host a couple of events a year at Bar Mason and this year was the best service we've ever had. Efficient, energetic, accurate. We had about 25 people at our gathering. Thanks so much to Karolina and Steve for never letting anyone go more than a minute without a drink in their hand, and for getting food out quickly - it was devoured! Guests said the wings were fantastic (and these guys know their wings!). Also, great to see Dolores, who used to work at another restaurant in Guelph, in a supervisor position here. A great team to have. Looking forward to being back.

We had the set menu for Valentine's Day and were very impressed with the quality of the food. Vegetarian options were delicious and very creative. The service was impeccable, quick and attentive. The regular menu looks so good that we'll definitely be back to try more dishes! We were delighted to find this gem of a restaurant.

I had been staying at the Delta hotel and going down to dinner at the Bar Mason each night of my stay. The servers have been so kind and friendly and the cocktails have been delicious. Tonight’s server Karolina had suggested the raspberry kitten cocktail and it was exactly what I was looking for in a drink. Light and fruity. The food has been fantastic and if I were local I would come here as often as I could.

We host our work Christmas party here every year because it has a great private room that is perfect for small groups. The food is always excellent. This year we had an amazing server (shoutout to Karolina) who was hilarious and friendly but also made really good recommendations for drinks and food. Wish I could give her six stars! I really recommend the bar. We will be back!

Wow! Just enjoyed eggs benny with an authentic hollandaise sauce, tasty side potatoes and oh so yummy Starbucks latte! Atmosphere cozy and quiet! Waite staff friendly and got our order right!! Will definitely come back with friends to enjoy more of their menu. Inside Delta Hotel near U of G. Well done Guelph!

Trendy little spot that never seems too busy. Great bar to grab a fancy cocktail at or a dinner date night. We had the brie and a few pizzas, and the food did not disappoint. The restaurant is attached to a hotel, so you park at the hotel

I stayed at the Delta hotel while in Canada for business and this restaurant is located inside/connected. I decided to try it out and I am so glad I did. The bartender was fantastic and helped to explain the drinks and answer questions (young guy with bright blue eyes). I decided on the "careful Todd...it's hot" which was cinnamon white rum, cointreau, lemon & chocolate...OH EM GEE. This is a comfort drink...I should have asked how to make this because this is something I would love to sip on after a long day or before bed! And the poutine...wow...I only had poutine once before (5 years ago in Vancouver) but this poutine was soooo much better...the flavor of the "gravy" ...jeez...i just need a cup of this to dip my fries in instead of ketchup...where can I find this in Texas????? And the pizza...it was called "For Gord" , seriously the flavor was so good...better than pizza I had in Chicago!!!! Maybe it was the black pepper maple drizzle...not sure but it was fantastic! I don't usually give 5 stars but this place was worth it and the bartender was fabulous...I wish I had gotten his name.

This is a very casual restaurant. Although there are not many dishes, they are all very beautiful. The menu is very well written on each dish and is appreciated. Because I was the only one to eat, I had to choose a pizza, not to taste other dishes.

We stayed at the Delta during a dance competition during a weekday. Our room rate included breakfast up to $15 for each of us. Breakfast gets ordered at the coffee counter and then brought to the table. Each breakfast is enough to feed two people. The person taking orders was a bit clueless with allergies, so I appreciate the Manager taking that over when she realized. I appreciate too that they went above and beyond letting me order a BLT (no mayo) that was not on the menu. Tasty food. Clean restaurant. Friendly service.

This review is for the hotel bar, not the restaurant, which I didn't eat at. I hung out at the bar a couple of nights while staying at the Delta for a conference. The atmosphere is low-key and easy to chat with a big group, as the music wasn't too loud and there is plenty of space. Service was fine, and we didn't have to wait too long for drinks. They have a pretty good selection of local craft beers, with 20 oz pints for around $10 (or $7 on Fridays!) There's a specialty cocktail menu (around $11 - $13 per drink), which I don't actually recommend. Our whole table ordered a round of "Old Smokeys", which we thought (based on the description) would taste like smokey old fashioneds. They were basically undrinkable, and tasted like maple syrup with a syrup-y salt rim. Don't get this drink! We weren't very impressed with other specialty cocktails, either. If you want a cocktail, order basic bar classics instead.

Quite possibly the best restaurant I have been to in a long time. Liked it so much my wife and I went back a second time and even met the chef. Very nice gentleman. The pig and fig pizza is the best pizza I have ever had. Highly recommend.

In the libby of the Delta Hotel, I had low expectations, thinking rubber hotel carrots, but was surprised: they have a real chef in the kitchen and pride themselves on a farm-to-table menu. I had a grilled caesar salad, and an artic char. The char came with delicious israeli cous cous, wonderfully preparied. I asked for bread on thw side and it came grilled. Bar menu was imaginative and they had an impressive pizza oven (though I didn't order pizza). Don't be put off by the hotel location. This is a fine informal restaurant aerving good fresh food.
