    Flame + Smith served up a phenomenal tasting menu for our party. We ordered the tasting menu and all the courses were fantastic. The steak in particular was cooked sous vide and finished on the grill, so it's got a perfect medium rare throughout with a nice charred crust. With a great chef's table giving a direct view of the magic, fantastic flavours, generous portions, and impeccable service, Flame + Smith became the highlight of our trip to PEC. It's a must visit restaurant for anyone looking for some fantastic steaks.

    First time coming to Prince Edward county ! I was very pleased with the overall experience of the service. Everyone was genuine, nice and welcoming. All smiles here! I found this place on google, and oh did it surprise me. I expected the food to be average since it's pretty out there from the city life. However, honestly it could be just as good or even better comparably to certain quality in the GTA! I wasn't too hungry so I ordered the escargot, it was yummy! Super tasty and comes with some slices of baguette. The service was great very friendly people, and they also had a few recommendations for spots to visit. ++ nice decor and atmosphere ;)

    Flame + Smith is an unparalleled masterpiece. Owners Sarah & Chef Hidde Zomers make this place more special than you can imagine. I'm not a fan of oysters by the cascumpecs are amazeballs. Seriously amazeballs. And who doesn't love dry aged beef? Topped with masterful cocktails, there is literally nothing to dislike about this place, including the ambiance of a former forge, hence the name. If you're in or passing through PEC, Flame+Smith is a must.

    Have to say one of the best steak frits I have had the iron skillet to kept the fries hot and delish Steak was tender and the sauce accompanied it just right. The tomato barata appetizer was also delightful. Will be back next time we are in town.

    The food, the service , the ambiance .... Everything was great ! So glad we finally made it here. We will become regulars..

    Ambiance: Beautiful outdoor patio, water fountain, candle light dinners. They even had a table on the grass to accomodate more outdoor seating during Covid! Service: Beautiful, we decided to come by with a large party after Sandbanks (almost near closing) and they were very accommodating. The server knew the menu well and answered all of our questions. Food: Most of us were hungry for a quick dinner and decided to get their burgers. They were juicy, huge portions and accompanied well with their fries. Oysters: this was definitely one of the better oysters I've tried. We kept ordering them!

    I came for the steak, and I stayed for the experience. Loved every moment here. Great service, great food, great atmosphere. The fries were better than expected, of course you think they're all similar, but these hit different. I had to fight my girlfriend off of me. I told her to fend for herself, this was MY steak! 4.6/5

    With so many different restaurants that had raving reviews, it was hard to choose but I would definitely recommend Flame + Smith in PEC! Service: definitely great as the staff made sure we werent waiting for too long and apologized for not having a seat for us stat. Was greeted not just by host but also by the other staff members and was really welcoming. Selection of food was farm-to-table with an emphasis on the use of the flame oven which I believe makes their food that much better with smokiness and just a charred flavour to it. Food Small bread selection (3.5/5) - large portion for a small! Didnt think there would be that much selection of bread and generous portion indeed. Some of the bread, while fresh, was not to my liking as it was more dense than I preferred. That being said, you can taste the freshness and it was good, but I am not quite a fan of sourdough so perhaps if you enjoy sourdough this would be a better option for you. Warm mushroom salad (5/5) - A MUST! Although this salad appeared simple with some greens and a plethora of mushrooms, the mushrooms said it all. Different textures confuses your brain as you might be thinking you are actually eating seafood. The dressing was sweet yet tangy and complimented very well with the mixed greens presented. Porkchop (4/5) - well cooked, perfectly seasoned, loved the pairing with the classic stone fruit (pear in this case). The mash was nice and buttery. A good main, even for sharing. Kombucha sorbet (5/5) - FANTASTIC. super refreshing and a great way to finish off your meal before digging into a dessert. Or even have it as a dessert to cleanse your palate. Was not overly sour nor was it sweet, just perfect and not overly fermented as some kombuchas would give off. Burnt cheesecake (3/5) - this one was nothing too out of the ordinary. Good piece of cheesecake but I dont think I would go back for it and instead try other specialties. Paired nicely with the berry compote. Overall, would love to go back. They also have brunch and I would really want to try it. Everything is presented so beautifully that it is definitely worth a try when in PEC.

    Tuna albacore ceviche

    Disappointed by management and oyster/seafood platter. We decided to have dinner at Flame+Smith after reading such great reviews about the restaurant. We verified on the website to see if we needed a reservation, however we couldn't find that information so we decided to call them in the afternoon. The person who answered the phone said: We do not take any reservations, if you come around 7:30 pm there should be an hour wait time. Please come before 9:30 pm as it is our last call. We arrived at 7:31 pm, expecting an hour wait time. The person(maybe owner/ manager) came to see us and told us they are full for tonight. They do not have any tables free. We explained to them that we did call prior to coming and was expected a wait time. The person insisted that he did not say that and would not accept more tables because they claim to close 8 pm. This reaction made us feel uncomfortable as they seemed they were calling us liars... we decided to walk away and try to see if we could get a table at the restaurant Sand & Pearl. As we walked away, he came back to us telling us to come and they will prepare a table for us since they initially had a big party coming in later. At this point, we decided to still eat at Flame+Smith, despite how disrespected and disappointed we felt. Here is the order that we made (I had the chance to try everything since my friends knew I was an Yelp Elite and they just wanted to share their plates!): Large Seafood platter 75$ Rating: 1/5 Extremely extremely disappointed. Keep in mind that this was the second item listed on their menu and is considered as an highlight. This came with 4 of each Oysters, albacore tuna ceviche, cold smoked Atlantic salmon, Alaskan crab claws, Patagonian shrimp, octopus, garnishes. First of all, the octopus was MISSING. I only realized while I am writing this review. The oysters were ok, HOWEVER, they were not clean. There were sand inside and seaweed on the outside. For an appetizer of 75$, I would expect this restaurant to have done the minimum of a proper cleaning process. (Please view picture for reference) The Alaskan crab claws tasted like frozen pieces of crabs from the grocery store. The taste of the mussels were equivalent to what you can get from the Cover Leaf smoked mussels. As for the ceviche, it is cut into sashimi thick pieces. They were not marinated long enough and did taste like frozen fish. The smoked salmon was good and the only item that I was not disappointed about on this platter. I raised my concerns of the oyster to the waitress by saying: I was wondering if it was normal or a mistake to see that the oysters were not clean? Because I've never had oyster with seaweed attached to them. The waitress said oh ok. I kind of expected a: I'm really sorry, I will take it to my kitchen and give the feedback. We are sorry for this situation. She did come back with 4 extra crab claws on the house but at this point, I didn't know what to expect anymore from this restaurant. ------------------------------ Zucchini soup: 14$ Rating: 4/5 I did not have the chance to taste this but my friends did agreed that it was quite delicious. The bread that came with it was very dense and hard to chew. ------------------------------ Burgundy escargot: 16$ Rating: 2/5 Same again, the grilled baguette were hard to bite and chew on. The taste of this dish was missing some flavour. ------------------------------ MAINS Steak+frites: 31$ Rating: 4/5 The steak was good, it was a simple and classic item that we can find in many restaurants. The rosemary + thyme aioli was the perfect combination to the fries. ------------------------------ Piri piri chicken supreme: 27$ Rating: 2/5 Beautiful presentation. Extremely dry chicken. ------------------------------ Icelandic cod a la plancha: 32$ Rating: 4/5 Gorgeous presentation and experience. This dish was tasty and the cod was cooked to perfection. ------------------------------ CONCLUSION I was honestly disappointed to have even step foot in this restaurant. I am glad that they tried to arrange a table for us but my experience with the greetings from the first staff to the seafood platter was not acceptable. For the price we paid, we would expect a great service and delicious food. There were so many disappointments and we did not even receive an apology. Yes we got a complimentary plate of crab claws, but in a classy restaurant like this, I would expect the manager to come and apologize. The seafood platter should be an item to remove off of their menu and should not even be served. I do not recommend this restaurant and will not be going back.

    - the music was classic indie dreams - yeasayer, Thom York, Metronomy, animal collective, foxygen - great date night spot - definitely a higher price point - attire you think would be business casual to dressy but people were in jeans and hoodies - good mix of locals and visitors - Good variety of cocktails, wine and beer - local focus - Decor like a Scandinavian modern farmhouse - they bake fresh breads that you can also purchase - I ordered the the tuna ceviche but was told it was going to be shrimp instead. If was okay but I would have preferred tuna - my friend had the pork chop and said it was really good - service was good - we were there a Monday around 5pm - nonissue getting a table - for warmer days they have a nice patio

    Amazing food and service. We couldn't decide what to order and got the chef's menu, which is shared family-style. Warning: this is a LOT of food!! But it gave us a chance to sample a wide range of dishes without the trouble of deciding what to order. Some notable items: BREAD: fresh from their wood fired oven -- sooo good SHISHITO PEPPERS: be VERY careful -- the hot ones are VERY hot, much hotter than the shishito peppers we usually get from the grocery store MUSHROOM SALAD: a tasty variety of local mushrooms, including lion's mane STEAK: Steak and radicchio were grilled to perfection! You can taste the smokiness from the wood fired oven. LEMON TART: the candied violets were an unexpectedly delightful touch. The tart was my favourite out of all these delicious dishes! And to top it all off, the service was impeccable.

    selection of oysters

    We recently dined here on a busy Saturday night, luckily there are two fire pits out front where you can enjoy a cocktail while waiting for your table. Everything was outstanding! We started with oysters and shared the bone-in rib eye steak (cooked to perfection) in addition to fries with herb aioli and wood fired cauliflower, and the beet salad. Food was great, service was excellent. Apparently there was a chef's tasting menu but server did not offer it - may have been due to how busy they were. Will definitely make a point of eating here next time I am in the county

    Dined here on our last night visiting PEC. We rented a cottage nearby and should have looked up restaurants prior to heading there. A lot of restaurants were still closed or not open during the days we were visiting. The food and service was great! This is exactly the type of restaurant I like dining in. Everything is house made and unique. If we could order everything tapas style, we would have!

    Flossie's Sandwich Parlor

    (10 reviews)

    I dream about this place…read more Our second year coming in late September for a city escape, Flossie's came highly recommended by my buddy who visits often. I'm sad to say that I don't remember what we got last year, just that we loved it. So of course, we had to repeat again this year! And oh man, it did not disappoint. I didn't want to eat with my toddler because I did NOT want to share. I gave him a few fries because he could smell them but there was no chance he was going to touch my sandwich. Hubby got the Texan brisket (special and the last one!) and I got the chicken pesto panini. My wonderful husband offered to do splitsies and ... well, he only got a couple bites. Sadly, because of said toddler and infant in tow, we couldn't eat it there when the fries were fresh so they were a tad sad when we finally sat to eat them. No dock on Flossie's - that's our fault. I'm certain they would have been amazing fresh! All of this to say....if you're in the area or planning a visit, make sure you stop by. You won't be disappointed. Unless they're closed...that's why you need to plan your schedule around their opening hours. A second location is opening in Belleville ... kudos to Flossie's for making their dreams happen! Sorry for not taking a picture of our sandwiches. Like I said, I couldn't wait. It was very much a GET IN MY BELLY moment.

First things first, their menu is mostly pictures so it would be good to ask about ingredients if you have any food intolerances. There may also be off menu items so feel free to ask their pleasant staff. Most of the items don't have prices but it's generally around $20 pretax. It's a bit pricier than expected but the food and environment makes up for it. We tried a few of their sandwiches and they were all juicy and flavourful in their own way. It's all packed with a healthy combination of high quality ingredients. The burger was cooked to a nice juicy medium rare, and the sandwich breads were toasted perfectly. You have the choice of the usual sides, but the coleslaw definitely stands out with a creamy and sweet but well balanced profile. The outdoor seating is an absolute boon for a spring/summer PEC visit. Enjoy the shade and the gentle breeze as you bite into your juicy sandwich!

The croquette was perfectly crunchy on the outside and smooth on the inside. It was a lot better than other croquettes I've had in Canada. The octopus was also really good, it was perfectly flavoured and the texture was not too chewy. The star of the show was the paella. The paella was super good, a little on the saltier side. The mussels were delicious, but it was a bit sandy inside, I felt it could be cleaned a bit better. Overall love this restaurant and would come back!

    Bocado is a wonderful Spanish tapas restaurant in the heart of downtown Picton and Prince Edward…read moreCounty. I booked this place for my 12 year wedding anniversary. I recommend making a reservation to avoid disappointment. We were early for our reservation and the hostess was able to give us a table. There are 2 dining rooms with different themes. The front room has a beautiful bar beside the open air kitchen. The dining area has a nice bright rustic ambiance. Definitely, a great place for date night. The rear dining room has a lounge feel. The light is dimmed and tables have candlelights. There's nice lounge music playing here as well. Now for the food. The menu is divided into 3 sections: Tapas del bar - small dishes to share and sample some curated Spanish delicacies. Grande provides a selection of main course entrees. Paella is a Valencian rice dish that is great for sharing and served on a large cast iron skillet. We ordered the jamon croquetas. The croquetas were served with pickles and garlic aioli. They are delicate and packed with flavor. The second tapas we ordered was the Albacore tuna served with bulgur cracker. The dish was esthetically pleasing and we really enjoying the green liquid sauce. Very impressive dish. For our main we decided to share the seafood paella which consisted of Argentina red shrimps, organic salmon, and mussels. The rice was flavorful and we love the crispy rice on the bottom of the skillet. This dish checked all the boxes in flavor, presentation, and texture. We finished our meal with the grand finale: Spanish Churro. This is not your regular churro. This was shaped like a cinamon bun and you have two delightful dipping sauces - dolce de leche and dark chocolate. This was by far the best churro I've ever had. Overall, the experience was exceptional and I recommend this place if yoi are looking to try some elevated Spanish cuisine. The server was attentive and provided advice on how to eat each dish. The prices are on the higher-end so plan on spending about $50-$75 per person.
