I decided it'd be cool after Toronto instead of going the same way back to go up east-northeast and come back into the US from the Thousands Islands Bridge to see something different. We arrived in Kingston at dinnertime hungry but unsure what to eat. I looked on Yelp after parking in downtown, but was still unsure. My girlfriend & I needed to use restroom and popped in a hotel. We asked the front desk recommendations. She recommended Dianne's very close walk. We ate outside. It was balmy for Kingston in early June with temps in the 70's F around 8 PM; their average high temp in early June is only upper 60's F (around 20 C). Our server was friendly. She said people are enjoying the first really warm evening of the season. We both got their fish n' chips. It's an Alaskan Pacific haddock as opposed to cod or others used. This is superior to other fish n' chips I've had. This is delicious. Fries were good too, but the fish was the real star and about the best fried fish I've had.

A great place to eat and drink with a great view of the St. Lawrence River and islands…read more Donnelly's On The River is a casual riverfront restaurant and bar located next to the Ivy Lea 1 Hour Cruise dock overlooking the St. Lawrence River and islands. The place has an indoor dining room, bar area and outside patio seating overlooking the river.  I stopped by for a late lunch recently on a sunny day. I headed to the patio where I decided to take in the riverfront views. I was given the light fare food menu which offers traditional Canadian pub fare including appetizers, wings, soups, salads, burgers, sandwiches, fish & chips, and pizzas. I got an ice water and decided on the Maritime Lobster Wrap ($19.95) served with fries and cole slaw, which was served to my table in under 10 minutes. The lobster wrap (cut in halves) was a good size with lettuce, shredded cheese, carrots, and a dense mix of shredded lobster meat in a mayo dressing. The fresh cut fries were firm and hot. The cole slaw (shredded cabbage, carrot, red cabbage) were crisp and creamy. After I was done, I was promptly given the check which came out to $22.54 CAD before tip or $17.11 USD before tip. Overall, a good choice for lunch on a very nice day. I watched several boats pass by as I ate my lunch.

The restaurant was not surprisingly empty as it was shoulder season and it was at 11am. I had a cup of seafood chowder, since I didn't want to just order a coke. The chowder was decent. The ingredients were good, but the soup itself was a bit bland. I didn't expect much from a seaside pub in rural Ontario to be honest though. Service was great, no complaints at all. I imagine their entrees are better looking at the few reviews.

I was happily proved dead wrong by Cavallario's. A beautiful modern facility including an amazing patio dining area/bar.

My compliments to Ally and River, the service pair who made the evening warm and inviting (It's very rare I remember server's names... that's how great they were!). Prices were very reasonable for all food and beverages. This is s a must-visit when in the 1000 Islands region!

The chef used to be the chef at the now-close Aroma restaurant in Kingston and he's brought the skill and imagination he showed there with him. You might not expect much from a marina restaurant, but try the lobster ravioli and you'll be impressed. I was expecting typical raviolis with a smidgin of lobster in them. What I got was raviolis made from homemade(?) black and white striped pasta, with a generous amount of lobster in each, topped with a split lobster tail. This was all served with a tasty cream sauce. The fish and chips are also really good, and so is the chicken panini. The building is pretty unassuming, but it's right by the harbor so the views are great and there's outdoor seating when the weather's warm.

It was a shrimp risotto with corn and pumpkin seeds. I wasn't sure how it would go together when I ordered it but I trusted the chef and I wasn't disappointed! Our waitress was super nice as well and accommodating the whole night. Definitely recommend if your vacationing in Clayton or the thousand islands region!
