Took 20 minutes to get served, then 40 minutes to get the food, which had zero heat to it as it sat for quite a while before being brought to table. No waitress checking in on us, no coffee refills, etc. We had to go to the front cash and ask for a bill as we sat waiting, waiting and waiting, nobody came. Where the hell is the restaurant manager??? Do your job, make yourself aware of what is going on in the restaurant. It was very much NOT busy, no excuse at all. Napanee has a crazy amount of restaurants, time to look elsewhere

I stumbled across this place when I had gone to the corner's Coffee Craving a few months ago…read more When I had gone back to Kingston this passed weekend, and was passing through the Greater Napanee Area, I knew Ellena's was a spot I needed to return to! Super friendly service, great collection of kitchen and home decor items, wine, very come-in-and-we'll-treat-you-well kinda vibe. The first time I picked up some Swedish sponges, at just under $7.00 ea for most of them (depending on sizing), that's approximately $3.00 in savings from the grocery store in Toronto. Points for Ellena's. Not a top, top fan of these sponges though. This first visit also allowed me to purchase a berry pie (not Saskatoon, similar to blueberry however I can't recall the name). This pie was delicious. I knew I had to return to pick up the Chicken Pesto sandwich that was calling my name, yet I needed to leave behind due to my bank card not working. So return I did, and that chicken pesto, was so scrumptious. Would likely have been more enjoyable had I eaten it when it was warm, yet I wasn't all that hungry when I arrived and ended up eating it about 2 hours later. The person who brought it out to me was lovely, he hand delivered it and said, "enjoy". I was waiting in the store. It was such a nice thing for him to do. Above and beyond! I picked up 3 more pies: pecan, blueberry and raspberry. I am obsessed with raspberries, seriously so tasty. This pie is up my alley, the filling is rather generous and the crust is an ideal pairing. It was light in colour, which gave me the pondering of how cooked it was, yet there weren't any raw dough bits. In fact, it was pretty good. The pecan pie is, well, gone. It was also really very good. I tried to make pecan pie once, it didn't have the same flavour most pecan pie has when its made by others. There is a reason Ellena's pecan pie did not last long with me. The blueberry pie, has yet to be tried. This crust also looks on the lighter side. The pastry I picked up was the Pain Au Chocolat. They looked too good sitting next to the cash out. I was definitely buying with my eyes that day and that croissant was flakey, buttery, that strip of chocolate down the centre, rich, delicious, memorable. Very, easy to devour. If I were a glutton, baked goods and treats is definitely the way I would go. I was tempted to get more, the excitment of trying a new place out when I'm in the area infrequently, was present, yet I held back. Needed to spread the money & love to other local shops. :) 100% a spot to hit up when you are in the lil' township.

Food was delivered quickly. I ordered the veggie omelet with home fries and wheat toast. I also ordered the poutine to see how that was at this place. My sister ordered the Eggs tosca with sausage, home fries and toast. The portions were huge. The veggies in the omelet were super fresh. The poutine was solidly good. We got refills on our drinks fairly promptly. Overall it's a good solid experience if you're in the area.

Very attentive service, the coffee kept flowing and our food came out unbelievably fast. They are called Spud's because of their delicious home cut fries. Saw home fries coming out of the kitchen on breakfast plates and they looked fabulous. I had a turkey club with fries and my friend had the hot turkey sandwich with fries. Both sandwiches were gigantic and super yummy. They use real roasted turkey in their sandwiches and you can taste the difference. Next time I visit I'll be trying breakfast. We already have our next visit planned. Absolutely worth the drive from Kingston!!

Awarding 5 stars to a diner is out of the ordinary. I mean,…read morereally, it's a diner. I expect comfort food at a reasonable price. I expect decent coffee, not dishwater. The food should be made of real ingredients, not reheated frozen dreck from a pre-prepared container like you get from big box chain restaurants. I ordered coffee. It was good. Good enough for second cup. I ordered the hot hamburger with mash. Real meat. Real potatoes. Lots of gravy. Forgot to ask for onions! Everything put smile on my face, and filled my belly. So, all boxes ticked: Comfort food at a reasonable price? Check. Decent coffee? Check. Real food? Check. Bonus points for quick and friendly service. I think we're all happy that we can dine-in again.

Solid diner breakfast food. I'll have to go a few more times before I can truly rate the food…read more Where the Diner earns this 5 star Review is on their customer service! I thought I'd try them out by ordering through skip the dishes and when my order arrived they had put cream and sugar in my coffee despite my not ordering it. When I gave the restaurant a call they explained that it was a limitation in the software and all of the orders come through "regular". This was disappointing as it made the coffee in drinkable for me. When I asked if there was anything they could do for me, to my surprise, they requested my address and sent someone with a new fresh hot coffee. I know that might not seem like much, but to me it shows a commitment to customer service that is lacking in so many places.

My partner ordered the quesadilla and it was so tough he could barely cut into it. It was like the tortilla was stale before the fillings were added and cooked. I ordered the fish and chips, and the fish was extremely overcooked (batter was dark brown in colour when served). Portion sizes have also gone down big time. No salt or pepper was at our table, and the beers we ordered weren't even filled. This was an extremely disappointing visit, and we definitely will not be back.
