Andrea’s introduction to Muskoka came in 2004 when she began working at the Fiery Grill in Dorset. A little while later Tyler started working there as a cook and the two of them quickly hit it off, running day-to-day operations until its closure in 2011. This experience planted the seed for their dream of opening their own restaurant.
When they found this Baysville building in the spring of 2014 they knew that it was the place. After a lot of hard work their dream has become a reality. Andrea and Tyler personally ensure that Cast Iron Restaurant serves up quality homemade (no store-bought dips or dressings here) pub fare with impeccable, friendly service. We hope you like it.
