We have been to this location before, and have had mixed reviews. Although, have decided not to take anymore chances, as this last one was horrendous to say the least! We were in a wait for a table, which seemed ok at first, except while waiting for our table at the bar we were rudely ignored. We were not asked if we wanted something to drink for at least 5 minutes or so, and the girl that served us in the bar seemed to caught up with a group at the bar to pay any notice of us. When she finally asked us what we wanted, it was VERY unprofessional, and this wasnt the first time we had been served by her at this bar. she also made us pay for our awfully-made drinks right then, which was extremely annoying, as we would have like to pay with our bill in full. When we asked our server (who seemed completely new and not too smart), for a manager, she brought us a man who seemed even less intelligent than her, so we just shrugged it off and decided not to come back ever. New Years Eve had been our last time back before then. and we had excellent service while in a large party which was surprising as it wasnt nearly as busy the other night, but seemed to be all new unqualified staff. New Years we were part of a party of about 20 or so, and had - and - serving us and they were fantastic, wish they would have been there the other night to save us again!!! But, they probably did not like working there, as it seems like the staff there turns around quite quickly, or so ive heard.

great right from the start with a staff opening the door. we were seated right away and our server was prompt with taking our drink order. delaine was awesome. we have a special needs son who can be a bit of a handful but she was quick and so patient while letting him order for himself. we got to try a free sampler of chicken in a balsamic sauce which was so good.
food was DELICIOUS and i had to take my included dessert home because i was so full. which was no problem for delaine to wrap up.
washrooms were spotless and the restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. felt very comfortable having our kids there for a family dinner. the kids loved it too.
we are from out of town and decided to try this restaurant on a whim. we are so glad we did. will definately be back when we are in barrie again.
THE BEST restaurant visit I have ever had! From...
THE BEST restaurant visit I have ever had! From the time we walked up to the restaurant (had the door held open for us), to the moment we left (AGAIN the door held open!) everything about this restaurant is great.
We were warmly greeted by the hostess who was quite busy. When she led us to our table (about a 3 min wait), smiling all the way, she even took the time to point out where the restrooms were and to introduce our server.
Service was provided with a smile, just enough humour and discretion. Extremely professionall! I will not mention the servers name as it became clear that the entire group working thoroughly enjoyed what they were doing and were a team all the way!
The food was outstanding, steaming hot as it came to the table and delicious! Steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and the Chicken was so flavourful. To cap the evening off, the Truffle dessert is absolutely to die for. It looks great coming to the table and tastes even better once you can bring yourself to actually "ruin" the beautiful presentation!
My congratulations to the team at Kelsey's on Bayfield. You are definitely among the best restaurants in Barrie.
Waited forever for the food!!Place was also extremely dirty!!Also went in November 2006 and was not happy with the food or service, But on a good note, the place was much cleaner back then. Servers were very rude!!A manager by the name of Tom apologized for the food taking so long, but that was it! He was Very Unprofessional to say the least!!Will never go to this location again!! Overall I give everything a ZERO!!
