About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighbourhood gem
The Ferguson House was originally built in 1873 as a boarding house. Allie Ferguson hosted many artists and visitors over the years. Since then The Ferguson House has been many things - an antique shop, a retail shop, apartments, and now a bistro and bar. We are taking this former boarding house to the next level by offering creative cuisine in a beautiful setting with fantastic service and creativity. We hope you enjoy your visit and visit us often.

    Took our 8 person dinner club here and had a great experience. Stopped by the beer garden before dinner for live music, and then had a lovely outdoor setting on their patio for dinner. Great evening!

    The ambience is nice and the food is good. The alcoholic drinks are made extremely weak. Order wine or booze on the rocks.

    My husband and I were looking forward to finally being in the area when The Ferguson House was open. I made reservations on a Thursday. We were greeted and seated quickly. The salads arrived and we had barely eaten a few bites when our dinners were on the table. Not enough time between courses to enjoy the salads. My chicken was so tough I couldn’t cut into it. The server offered to have it remade but I said I’d just eat my potato and asparagus. The potato was huge, under cooked and loaded with too much butter and sour cream. I will not be returning to The Ferguson House. I hope others have a more enjoyable experience.

    Our chicken was very dry but the rest of the meal was fine. I would give it another chance.

    The main drawback to this restaurant is the very uncomfortable chairs in the dining area. They are more like metal out outdoor chairs without cushions. The ribs were dry, but others in my party had the burgers which were fine.
