I had the pork schnitzel with prosciutto and mozzarella, and my husband had the seafood platter (fried shrimp and fish with French fries). The schnitzel was perfect- tender, moist, and well seasoned. My husband's fish was tasty, but the batter on the shrimp was too thick and the fries weren't as tasty or crispy as we had hoped. We were with two other couples, and they all seemed to enjoy what they ordered. We also had dessert- we got apple streudel with ice cream and German chocolate cake to share between the members of our party. I could have done without either of them- the apple streudel didn't have much flavor, and the cake was quite dry- at least the frosting was tasty. All in all, we had a good experience... Come for the schnitzel; skip the dessert!

My girlfriend had the Braised Short Rib to start, and the Scallops in Bearnaise sauce for main. I had the Pork Belly starter, Goat Ragu main and an Old Fashioned. Everything tasted amazing, but the best dish was definitely the Pork Belly. Perfectly cooked; crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Great service. Easily one of our favourite meals in Kingston.

This place did not disappoint. Our order consisted of a tomato soup which was smooth and balanced (not too sweet or too acidic), a peameal N brie sandwich which had maple sauted apples - it was served over a French toast bread which in itself was super delicious, the bacon in the toast was crunchy and savoury, A vegetable quiche which was cheesy and wholesome because of the vegetables A chocolate dessert which was rich and crunchy. I will highly recommend this place if you are around Belleville.

My croque monsieur wasn't quite traditional, lacking the top layer of cheese, but it was tasty nonetheless! Generously filled with ham and cheese, and the bread was good as well.

The place is open and bright wherever you sit, whether on the outdoor patio, downstairs by the bar, or upstairs. Service was excellent. My reservation was smoothly handled, and my server took good care of me. I got offeres some bread and butter after I ordered, which was really a nice surprise. The offered breads were seeded, ollve, and rustic style. All delicious, especially with the sweet butter. For the main meal, I got a half dozen oysters, an order of cha gio and their Ahi Dragon Noodle Salad. The cha gio were crispy, not greasy, sweet and savoury. The oysters were super fresh, sweet and a good size. Along with the usual condiments, they included pickled red onion, which is the first time I've ever had this. I really enjoyed the acidic sweet bite enhancing the sweetness of the oysters. The Ahi Dragon Noodle Salad had microgreens, red cabbage, red and green and yellow sweet pepper, red chili pepper, edamame, coriander, green onions, and fried parsnip chips. The Ahi was charred on the outside, fresh and meaty. I appreciate that the sesame oil, soy sauce and hint of chili on the perfectly chewy noodles was separate from the veggies. The vegetables had a very clean flavour, but I would have liked something more, maybe a touch of citrus. A glass of good wine rounded out the whole experience. I was way too full at the end of the meal to even contemplate dessert. All in all, a great meal, and I would return any time.

We scoped out a few places and landed here for a change from the typical pub vibe, Italian pasta joints around the corner, or chains like Jack Astor's. We beat the lunch crowd, arriving just before 2 PM. Service was great--we were seated immediately and ordered a few tapas: some roasted Brussels sprouts and a selection of meat options including Persian BBQ lamb, achiote grilled chicken, and sticky pork ribs. The chicken was my least favorite, though it wasn't bad. Everything else was absolutely delicious and flavorful. I'd really like to come back another time for proper drinks--they have an impressive wine list and a nice selection of sangrias that caught my eye. Definitely worth a return visit if you're passing through Kingston.

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. This is a good place to celebrate a special occasion or if you just want something different while in Kingston.
