    Our food was delicious. I had the Avocado & Beet salad, my boyfriend had the oysters and both were delicious! My main was the 12oz Ribeye and it was a bit on the salty side but cooked perfectly. He had the lobster rolls and it wasn’t too great. Crème brûlée was really good. Found it overpriced but overall it was delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable but came and checked on our mains when we were almost finished. Overall a great but expensive place.

    DISAPPOINTED! We came here for my wife’s birthday celebration that was noted on the reservation however there was no acknowledgement by staff of the birthday at all. That seems trivial but the real disappointment came from the food. We had the Caesar Salad to start and although tasty, there were obvious brown leaves in the salad. So obvious the person preparing it had to have seen them. We both also ordered the Beef Tenderloin as our mains. Mine was ordered for a medium cook and my wife’s a medium well. Both steaks came well done…. very well done! I’ve had never encountered a beef tenderloin steak that is hard to cut, grisly and lacking flavour prior to this one. You would expect the side dish of ‘mashed potatoes’ to be a simple thing to prepare. I called what we got mashed potato soup! It was so runny that you couldn’t pick it up with a fork. The night ended with my wife up most of the night ill. No other explanation except that it had to have been from our dinner. We purposely decided to travel to the Delta in Kingston for an overnight stay to enjoy a new dining experience in a restaurant that has had very good reviews. To say the least we went home extremely disappointed!

    Perfect spot in the summer, harbour view, lots of boats. The service was excellent, efficient and friendly. Interesting menu but rather pricey. I ordered lobster role, a favourite. Not sure how old it was but the lobster was tough and chewy. The helpings were generous but I thought the salad was overdressed. Overall a pleasant experience, but as most restaurants these days, rather noisy. Yes….we’ll go again.

    We ordered a lot of things to share and they were all delicious. We did not order bread, and probably should have because there was lots of beautiful sauces with the shrimp and mushroom dish. Would have been great to dip bread into!

    Food was excellent! Service was on another level...the staff catered to our every needs without us needing to ask for anything! Were very polite and didn't invade our space they knew the exact moment to come in! A special thanks to Duncan who took extra care of us! The only thing I can say could be better was the size of my tenderloin but then again maybe its just me. Would not hesitate to eat there again and would recommend to friends and family!

    Great restaurant with a lovely view of the water. Our hostess Olivia and our waiter Duncan were outstanding. Courteous, attentive, right in sync with us. The food was outstanding as it always is. Minor annoyance with loud very opinionated table neighbours. No fault of staff. All in all an enjoyable experience as always.

    Positively amazing food and exceptional service! We felt so welcomed right from the very start by the hostess team and immediately following (I was slightly late to our party of 4,) the Server offered suggestions for our drinks and meals that were fully on point!!! So very pleased with our experience and will definitely be back! Thanks so much, Councillor Lisa Anne Chatten City of Belleville

    Restaurant was nice, we asked for a table with a good water view, as there were several options, we were put in a back room with an ok view, while there were better tables open. Our waitress took an extremely long time to come to our table and was very slow and non existent during our meal. The brunch was good, we had the French Toast and the Eggs Benedict. I found the entire experience to be bland and nothing special. I went out of my way and was disappointed
