This is on top of my list of favourite spots to dine at in the downtown core of Port Hope. I have gone for both brunch and dinner here. Service has been excellent on the first visit. My friend ordered a seafood linguini and I ordered a stuffed Yorkshire - (a stuffed Yorkshire with slices of roast beef smothered with gravy, with mashed potatoes and vegetables on the side). It was excellent. Portions are enormous - everything can honestly be shared. The second visit was during dinner. After a few minutes of debating what to order, I decided to go for the supreme chicken Marsala. The chicken breast was stuffed with spinach, goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes - with a creamy Marsala mushroom wine sauce smothered all over. I enjoyed the dish, but was a little thrown off with the tomatoes, and found the mashed potatoes to be too salty this time. I was the only customer dining in that night, and the bartender was pleasant, although she was talking on the phone while working. I understand it wasn't busy, and it could be with management, but regardless, it is unprofessional to make calls while customers are present. The third and fourth visit - service and food were excellent. This is definitely a great spot to go to with a big group of friends (or by yourself). The lobster lover dish is amazing, especially paired with calamari for appetizers. Tuesdays an excellent day to visit Nookie's - their 8oz steak is their special for the day. It does not disappoint!

Overall, a very pleasant experience. They only lost a point because there was an egg shell in our meal.

Smashing good brunch?…read more Smash Kitchen has been on our list to visit for a while till we finally had the opportunity. For more than a dozen years, this Markham spot has been known for good flavors and portions. The weekend brunch menu from 10am - 2:45pm had an assortment of creative dishes. We opted for their LA mac & cheese ($25) with a saucy cheese blend textured by herb crumbles. The soft shell crab benedict ($24) looked irresistible with two nicely poached eggs beside crab drizzled with maple buffalo hot sauce. While it came with no sides, bites of the whole fried soft shell crab on brioche toast were scrumptious. The inside of this restaurant is cavernous, featuring even a private room and patio. It's much larger than the dated plaza entrance would indicate. Staff were generally active at the tables, even delivering colour sheets to young ones. Skip it or hit it? It was a long time coming but brunch here didn't disappoint. Hit it!

After reviewing their mouthwatering menu I settled on the brisket, smoked with great skill in-house. I have had brisket in Montreal and New York and this Peterborough gem topped all of that. I wish I could post the aroma; simply incredible. So perfectly fresh! They have breakfast, lunch and dinner and a fine keto menu, too. Sure, it's not the best location in town yeis right across the street from a restaurant landmark. Why did it take me so long to try Hendows?! Best food in Peterborough. I plan to be a regular.

However it took over half an hour to get our food, at one point having to ask for an ETA which apparently annoyed the bartender/server because the service after that was horrendous. No wet naps or extra napkins with the wings, didn't ask once if we wanted a refill on our drinks. Also had the unfortunate view looking directly into the kitchen expediting station and were less than impressed with the hygiene we observed. Lastly after having to flag down for our bill because the server didn't come by once to clean up plates, he just handed us a machine although we were intending to pay by cash, still gave a generous tip but weren't even asked if we wanted change, nor did we get any sort of goodbye. Will not be recommending or returning.

My sweetie and I are on our Pumpkinfest Weekend Tour!…read more Swooped into Picton for lunch at The Acoustic Grill. Carter, our friendly server seated us next to where the live band plays (but not now). Our fancy today was a Ham and Corn Chowder Soup, 1 lb Chicken Wings Dry Cajun plus an order of Shoestring Fries. Love the crispy but inside tender juicy wings. Fries done just right. The chowder was very salty as we noted to Carter. He was going to comp it out but I said to just give us some hot water to dilute the soup; recovery plan worked. Nice decor. Excellent service Carter. Enjoyed the meal.

Starting with the cocktails they nailed it. I have had martinis at countless restaurants (perhaps I am a lush) and their vodka martini was perfect - I mean like I make them at home. Then came the appetizer that my mother in law ordered.... cheese fritters- they were breaded mac and cheese bombs with a honey mustard dipping sauce that was to die for- no word of a lie. Next was the main.... I had a 10 oz. ribeye that wasn't 10 ounces.... it was more like 15 ounces- it was huge but it was cooked perfectly medium rare and perfectly seasoned - this wasn't just good, this was Montreal good... amazing food all around. But I think the service was the kicker.... our servers took the time to talk to us, explain the menu, ask people what they liked and were simply wonderful... I wish all restaurants had staff like this. Bottom line - if you're in this part of Ontario, go to Hobarts..... you will be blown away.

Only restaurant I've ever ordered delivery where the food actually arrived hot and ready to eat I usually find that either the microwave and/or the air fryer need to spring into action.

I don't think you can go wrong with anything on Hardy John's menu. Highly recommended.

Are they ever! We arrived around lunchtime and were served almost immediately. We decided to share a couple of subs, The Sunny-Lea ("turkey, stuffing, cranberries, cheese") and The 1830 ("AAA wood-fired beef, caramelized onions, and caremelized onion cheese"). They were ready a few minutes later, so we took our food out to an available bench and began eating. These are some seriously terrific subs. I started with the 1830 and it pretty much blew me away right from the first bite. The super tender (and plentiful) meat is enhanced by the other components, and honestly I'd be happy eating that sandwich every day for the rest of my life. The Sunny-Lea fares just as well and really does taste like Thanksgiving in sandwich form. Really, really phenomenal. I wish that Farmer's Daughter Sub Shoppe weren't so far away, but at least now I have a reliable stop to make any time I head out in that direction.

Great sandwiches!…read more All the ingredients are fresh. The deli meat taste like something you would get from a butcher. (If you know Belly busters in Toronto this is a better version.)
