I went for the homemade lasagna and it's one of the BEST I've had. Made and served in individual ramekins.

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.

Felt like reviews here sold them short. We enjoyed our meals. Give them a try!

A gem of a bakery and cafe in downtown Kingston!…read more My review is only for the bakery and store portion of Pan Chancho. I haven't had the chance to dine in the cafe yet, mostly because it gets extremely busy, especially on weekends. That said, the bakery/store has so many great finds. Their bread is excellent quality and a great value for the size, at around $5 for a small loaf and $8 for a larger one. My favorite is the olive rosemary sourdough, which is absolutely delicious. The saucisson sec is another great local find. The baked goods offer a nice rotating variety, with everything from Québec maple chômeurs to Italian maritozzi. On my last visit, I tried the Vietnamese coffee panna cotta, which was excellent. There's also an large gluten-free selection, ranging from breads to fresh-baked goods. The gluten-free scones are a particular standout. Beyond the food, Pan Chancho also has a great selection of kitchen and pantry-related items, including spices, pasta, sauces, hand towels, reusable bags, and more. It's the kind of place where you can go in for a loaf of bread and easily leave with a whole bag of interesting little things. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in downtown Kingston! The bakery alone is reason enough to visit, even if you don't get a chance to sit down at the cafe.

She had said Red House's was different since their gravy was Thanksgiving-like, which isn't typical (?). The poutine was fantastic!!!

Staff were also so attentive and great. Definitely heading back next time I'm in town!

The food is decent, but the best part of the meal was definitely the oysters we had at the beginning. The dessert we ordered came with cake and ice cream, but the two components were better eaten separately than together. The service was quite good; when we had turned off the table light and set it aside to make room for the plates, servers came by three separate times to inquire about if the one we had needed to be replaced. I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here again, but I would consider visiting if someone else wanted to check it out.

We needed to find someplace to sit and enjoy some air-conditioning before getting underway. This place looked like a good stop. It actually was! I believe this is a Holiday Inn hotel.

After perusing their menu, we asked for an à la carte order of truffle fries. The cocktail and the truffle fries were absolutely delicious! Though we cannot remember the name of our server, she reminded us both of the character Harley Quinn. She was very thoughtful and friendly in her service. We truly appreciated that.

It was ready so we were able to eat fast and had a decent selection but we probably won't eat the buffet again. A decent selection of items that looked really good but once on our plate we soon discovered that most of the food was past luke warm and more on the cold side. What was there to choose from: French toast, blueberry pancakes, hash browns, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs with spinach and mushroom(this was one of the nicest items they served), bacon, sausage, bagels, cereal, yogurt and granola. The was a big bowl of cut up fruit which is definitely a super plus for me. You get coffee, tea, and juice which is a nice bunch of choices for liquids. Lots of seating though so there is no issues getting a seat.

Unfortunately, our experience was tarnished by very poor and rude service. We were told the order would take 5-10 minutes, so we sat at an empty table. After a few minutes, a server approached us, abruptly asked we move to the 'communal table' because we had ordered takeout, and literally held out her hand to take my partner's coffee, stating no outside drinks were allowed. She took it and placed it behind the counter literally without any courtesy, please, or thank you. The person who took our original order never mentioned either the no-outside-drinks rule or any restrictions on where we could sit. After forcing us to move, the same server didn't even bring our food to the table, she just told us it was sitting on the counter. When we collected it, we only received the two breakfast sandwiches. The coffee that was included in the combo was completely missing (we didn't realize till after we left). We waited just under 25 minutes for a simple takeout order. The combination of uncommunicated rules, being demeaned and moved like we weren't welcome, the confiscation of the drink, and the incomplete order made the whole interaction feel disrespectful. The atmosphere is nice, but the rude service left such a bad impression... won't be back unfortunately.

I would recommend the following: Avocado Infused Hummus - The hummus was so light and creamy, and I love the addition of pistachio and pomegranate to this dish! The pita bread was also soft and fluffy Turkey Delight Poutine - Loved this shareable appetizer! Topped with braised turkey, fresh Quebec cheese curd, and crispy kale.
