The chef, Rui Pereira, and his very charismatic and informative wife, Caterina, provide food that is world class in both quality and preparation. In addition to a wide range of Portuguese apps and mains (including perfect seafood) they feature fresh local pheasant, water buffalo, elk and bison. Very highly recommended. Very affordable -- before tax and tip, about $70 for two including two drinks and one dessert.

The foood has struck again!!…read more Lady food and the food attended this place a few days ago. Luckily foods identity has yet to be discovered! As food scrolled google for unsuspecting restaurants, food stumbled across this gem. We were welcomed in to a warm friendly atmosphere with a food approved decor. If youre looking for a sificated man cave this is the place. Lady food got a fish taco, which were bomb, lady food did not eat the whole thing as she hates food consumption but was pleasantly surprised. The food sampled and was embellished by a savoury, zesty, cool taste explosion. The food got a burger which was made from local beef, the rich flowing flavour captivated the food. Food gives this 5 cobs. Must go. Also the food saw you checking him out other man in the restaurant. You couldnt handle the food.

Wow, colossal failure. We arrived at 5:15pm and got seated, hearing from the server that 6 tables…read morearrived just before us (should've taken that as a warning). The server who seated us said she would not be serving us but our server would be along shortly. While we waited for our server, the first server seated another couple and immediately took their drink and appetizer order. After 10-15 minutes our 'server' finally arrived. By then we had pored over the beer menu and selected a couple options. She flippantly told us 'nope, not available' to the first three we chose. We finally picked a beer, and ordered our appetizers and mains. About 20 minutes later, 2 tables that arrived well after we did, started getting their apps and mains. After being in the restaurant for 45 minutes with no food in sight, we got up, paid for our beers (which she then said we didn't need to pay for, because she FORGOT TO HIT SEND ON OUR ORDER). Completely unprofessional and our server was robotic and flippant. Steer clear! The place is clearly understaffed and lacks any sort of management presence.

Ordered the Tavern Mac N Cheese ($17) and its a super cheesy, mushroom, spinach dish. It's decent. Was looking to order the fish n chips or the fried chicken but they were surprisingly sold out of both that night. In hindsight, should have added some protein along with the pasta as you can add some chicken breast or grilled shrimp with the dish which definitely would've added some more flare. Quantity-wise quite good and filling. Would have been 4 stars but I felt the Mac N Cheese was just decent, nothing really great about it but just good overall. Good spot I think, and would try some other dishes which hopefully warrant a 4 star review here.

Excellent service, excellent food, nice atmosphere. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. I had the catfish sandwich, but I also had 1/2 of my wife's Croque Madame. That was awesome!

We stopped here on our anniversary for a glass of wine and little nibble before dinner. We had a…read morelovely glass of bubbly each (since it was our anniversary!) and another glass of wine with our charcuterie and cheese plate. We opted for two cheeses and two meats ($17). You can choose from a selection of each. We went with a mild Quebec bleu, soft French cheese, duck prosciutto, and cured sausage. They were served with plenty of baguette, gerkins, olives, honey, mustards, and chutney along with apple slices. The chef served the plate and explained each item. It was a terrific, relaxed way to enjoy everything. The wine menu is very carefully selected and are available by the carafe, glass, or small glass. While some of the wine prices may be higher than typical house wines, it is a fantastic way to try a wine without having to buy an entire bottle. Some of the wines would be out of our household budget so it was a treat to be able to try just a glass. There are special housemade cocktails, beer, port, and more tiny plate options. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff was terrific. This is a perfect place to stop when you want a light bite but really thoughtfully selected food.

Located in Kingston, Ontario this is a tapas style restaurant. The interior is dark and cool making…read moreyou think of a wine cellar. Full bar with extensive wine options. They have a private party room downstairs which is also where the restrooms are located so the restaurant isn't really accessible. They recommend 3-4 dishes per person. This can be expensive as most dishes are in the 20 dollar range. The steak with chimichurri sauce was excellent!!! But was also $44.00 for about 13 small slices. We also ordered a Thai green curry cod that comes with cashews infused in the sauce. We had a nut allergy at the table so they were able to remove the cashews to make the dish nut free. Service was decent but this is a dining environment where you are not rushed out the door. Dishes come out sporadically so you are meant for slow dining.
