This was my birthday breakfast and it was so good! Tommy's…read moreis a cute little 50's diner. I loved the checkerboard floor and the records on the ceiling. The place is a bit dated and could use some fresh updates to the decorating, but it was still charming, comfortable seating, had tv to watch...but was VERY hot inside. My trip to Kingston fell, of course, during that heat dome event...and I already HATE summer and hot weather. The temperature in the restaurant wasn't terrible but I was sweating. Turned out to be worth it. They have a full bar and Laura, my server, made me a pineapple mimosa on request. She looked to be handling the fairly busy place by herself with help from I believe the owner or manager. She handled everything very well and wasn't too busy to tell me Happy Birthday (I had on a shirt and she was one of the few people who did) and chat a bit and be friendly. I appreciated that. She was obviously very hot running inside and out to the patio tables, but she maintained her composure and worked very hard. I ordered the breakfast poutine and they added the pulled pork to it when I asked. I also got a side of the baked beans. The fries were very fresh, crispy and tender. There were scrambled eggs, fresh crumbled bacon, cheese sauce and that glorious pulled pork on top. I really enjoyed this dish. Great idea, breakfast poutine! While eating I got to speak the owner (I believe she was). She was from Arizona so we are both dual citizens. We had a good talk about Dump decimating the US. The owner is a very liberal, accepting, kind person. Makes you feel good to support businesses run by compassionate people. The service was great. Food was phenomenal. Yes, the beans were so tasty too. Kind staff. Cute decor. I am returning to Kingston in October and will definitely be stopping in at Tommy's again. Fantastic diner food!

My new haven in Kingston. Now that north side is completely jam packed all the time, I am very…read morethankful I discovered Gaby's Cafe. Again, the 5* review is relative to surrounding alternatives for Williamsville/sunnyside locals- it's either the old diner, or subway egg salad sandwich, or some simple but refreshing breakfast lunch and cute pastries. No brainer. The place is hidden in a building where medical clinics are, I found this place out when I was getting tested for STDs- nuff said. Which leads to my initial surprise- from outside and the location on princess I assumed it was another old place run by a hairy guy in greasy cloth and the lights don't work, but it's not. It's clean, airy, modern. Second the pricing is good- decent amount of food for the money, and pay at the counter, tip if you would. Food is on the light side, with some Asian influence reminding me of Taiwanese tea shop menus- although it's not. It's a bit in between, but you can definitely see something you won't find in a greasy spoon restaurant on their daily featured lunch. I'm on a coffee detox so regrettably I cannot review their coffee items yet. Another plus is free WiFi The downside and probably why it took me a year to find this place although I live close by- they are not open on Sat and Sun! Closes early mon - fri as well. This is a bit odd. Again- if I take this place out of the context of this depressing part of kingston, I would've given it a 4 star maximum. But I think locals will find this place a much appreciated alternative to the smelly Tim Hortons down the street or walking thirty minutes for the next failure.

Sadly, not what it used to be. Visited recently after…read moreseveral years since we lived in Kingston and were very disappointed. Used to be reliably great diner food at reasonable prices.

OK, this is a mixed review…read more First to start off, the service was great. The ambience is somewhat dated but elegant. The new patio looks great, but you can't see the river from the dining room now.. Now the food: My friend had the steak and he was very happy with it. Although he said, it was a little more rare than he would've liked. But otherwise, it was very good. Our other guest had the special, which was the salmon. And they were very happy with it. My dish unfortunately it was not so great. I had the pan-fried Seabass. As soon as it was brought to me, the first thing I noticed was a plate of nothing but brown colors. The fish is filleted with the skin left on. (which I would preferred it not to have been.), but layered on top of pearl couscous. Which was supposed to have feta. But somehow they substitute it with goat cheese, which was horrible. Because if you don't like goat cheese, it just makes everything taste awful. But there was no color to this dish. The Seabass was overcooked. It had a consistency more like trout. I've never had this type of Seabass before, so maybe I was expecting a Chilean Seabass? But it was very thin and there was not a lot of substance to it. The waiter was great and he did bring me some new couscous without the goat cheese. But by that time I had eaten my dinner. Now Desert: the kitchen really needs to let their weight staff know when they run out of things because our server had to come back to our table 3 times saying that they were "out of that." my friend friend had the peach sorbet, which he said was very good. The caramel pudding was excellent. I had the flan, honey and lavender. I really didn't taste any lavender. It just tasted like custard to me. My friend's family has been coming here for years. So hopefully next time I will get a better dish. It just seemed to me like the sous chef was in the kitchen tonight and not the chef.

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.
