I'm from Toronto, and you tend to lose this at very busy restaurants. You could tell the food was well prepared here based on the flavour and presentations of all our meals.

We started with the bruschetta, and it was packed with fresh, vibrant flavours on perfectly toasted bread -- a great way to kick things off. The steak was cooked exactly right, juicy and full of flavour, topped with crispy onions that added the perfect crunch. Every bite felt elevated but still comforting. And then... dessert. That warm, caramel-drizzled creation topped with whipped cream and toasted almonds was next level. Rich, balanced, and honestly the kind of dessert you don't want to share. The atmosphere is stylish but relaxed, making it perfect for anything from a casual dinner to a night out. Service was on point -- attentive without being overbearing. If you're in Kitchener and looking for a spot that consistently hits, Wildcraft is a must.

There was a line up for tables, but the host seem to keep it moving and organized people efficiently. However, there was a looooong wait for food after we placed our orders. At least a 30 minute wait. When our server kindly checked the kitchen, we were informed that our order was third in line. Either we were all hungry, or there was a strange delay because it felt like the longest time before we got our food. Once arrived, my mushroom and cheese omelette was good but nothing special. It could have came out of my own home kitchen (and I would have been more generous with the mushrooms). In all, a homey slightly run-down diner.

Unfortunately, there were so many things wrong with our experience on this particular night. First, I've never paid $16+tax for sauced wings with nothing on the side, the quality of the meat was one grade below the store brand freezer burned wing boxes found at your local discount market. The tenders I did enjoy, but hated that they were going to charge for $2 for plum sauce, that should have been given to me as it was on the menu stating the dish came with this condiment. We waited about 45 minutes for our food, and my wings were room temperature when they arrived. The staff were very new it appears, and were not sure about anything on the menu. But the restaurant was clean, and the room had an old school pub feel which was the only thing I enjoyed when we diner here.

Not great. The lineups were long and the buffet isn't situated in a large enough area. You feel like you're on top of the person in front and behind you. The salad selection was ok but nothing stood out as really tasty. In fact, the shrimps were water logged and really crappy. They claim they have 16 feet of desserts. You'd think, "that's a lot of desserts." Nope. They take all the pies and cut them into slices, place them on plates and lay it on a table. So, it's 16 feet of plates. It was hard to get coffee and refills of water as the staff were never around to do so. They were good about clearly plates though. It's an old, tired looking restaurant. Many rooms and no "flow". Just seems odd. I would not return. The cost/value ratio is off the charts.

The only regret I have with this place is the fact that my wife and I waited two years before we came back. We were were worried that after two years the first time we were there was so awesome, with all the things that could change we wondered if it would still be good. Well, it was. We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary and we were so happy to be at Born And Raised again. The menu doesn't miss a beat. We started out with a couple of appetizers, steak tartare, and burrata done in a seasonal style with butternut squash. I thought it an odd combination but it was so amazingly good. Then our mains, I had the rigatoni with meatballs, and as a special feature item my wife had tagliatelle with braised short rib. I am always critical of Italian food given that my grandmother, mother, stepmother, wife, and mother-in-law are masters at it, but let me tell you their rigatoni with meatballs is the real deal. The sauce is amazing, pasta cooked perfectly, and meatballs were so delicious with every bite. The server was even cool about getting me some extra bread to clean up that sauce with which was an extra treat. I was able to beg for a couple of fork fulls from my wife for the tagliatelle with braised short rib, and it was so delicious. Oh yeah, and one other thing, in both cases the portions were fantastic. None of this two forkfuls thing for presentation, it tastes good, you're there to eat and eat well, and they deliver. They vibe in the place is very cool noise levels are fair, and they were playing some cool old school music when we went. All of the staff were friendly, and attentive always checking in. Can I recommend that for dessert you order their pecan pie. It's so amazingly delicious, as is the scoop of vanilla ice cream they dolloped on there. Yeah, I may have had to have put in some extra time at the gym the next day, but that kind of eating gave me high I rarely get in restaurants, and I wish the same for all of you that take this recommendation to heart. Well done to the staff of Born And Raised, and I promise it will NOT be another two years before we are back again.

I decided with the Reuben sandwich since it's one of their recommended picks, and it totally lived up to it. The sandwich was packed with smoked meat, sauerkraut, and just the right amount of Thousand Island dressing, all grilled up on perfectly toasted rye. It came with coleslaw and fries, but I swapped mine for home fries because, honestly, when you're in a diner, you go with home fries. And they didn't disappoint... crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and nicely seasoned. Even with a bunch of us, service was super quick and everything came out hot and fresh. The portions were solid, the prices were fair, and the whole experience just felt easy and satisfying. Definitely one of those places you leave full and happy. Would come back in a heartbeat.
