   The attention to detail and quality of the design and finishes of the hotel are exceptional and the food and service is outstanding. One of the best dining experiences in a long time. Well done!

   Beautiful room. Great service. Food was disappointing. The cod with fingerling potatoes and Brussels sprouts was underwhelming. The plate was very plain. A poached piece of cod heavily ladled with yellow bernaise sauce, all on top of perhaps one split sprout and 2 fingerling potatoes also split. The room is lovely but became very loud despite not being full. The menu featured a surprising number of casual dishes including pizzas, pastas and burgers. A bit unexpected for such an elegant room. The setting is so lovely, we will give it another go when the patio opens.

   This was our 1st visit to the County in two years (since the pandemic) and our 1st visit to the Royal. Lovely dining room. The food was innovative and interesting. The fiddleheads, a rarity on menu because of its seasonality, were beautifully done.

   Trout for 2 slightly on the dry side. Frites were not seasoned enough and were not crispy. Appetizers were excellent and so were the desserts. Overall just not as satisfied as with our previous visit.

   Menu font that describes the food is too small for old eyes. 2 person tables along the back wall are too close together.

    We enjoyed ourselves our server was excellent!!! Loved seeing Laura again and she is a great front person! Unfortunately we had every order go to the wrong person on delivery (6) and two gnocchi dishes were ordered but only one came and it was a lengthy wait for the second one. In waiting for that made the steak cold which had to be reheated. My suggestion would be to keep everything hot until everything comes out to the table. I also noted that the steak portion was half the size that it was the last time I was there and my girlfriend ordered it. This time it was for two men, and nowhere near the same size. There was one other thing I wanted to note, I made the reservation long in advance, I must’ve received three or four different phone calls trying to confirm even after a credit card had been given. I also received duplicate confirmations online. While I understand the restaurant is busy it was not welcoming to have so many different people leave a message asking for a confirmation when it had been done. Clearly too many people are doing the reservation confirmations or it’s not marked off. My boyfriend came in the day before and put down a $500 deposit on his credit card to ensure it was held. Because I love the restaurant and the food is great and the service usually also, I will definitely be returning but these are just things I wanted to note! We loved our night out and will be back!

    Beautiful restaurant, but the menu needs major improvement. Food is decent. Considering they didn’t open too long ago and they are a more high end restaurant they should ensure they have more options for different dietary needs. They should have a small section of the menu where there is something for everyone. GF, vegetarian, Dairy Free. I’ve talked to several people who have dined there and that seems to be everyone’s complaint.

    Nice atmosphere! The service is great! It’s nice to have the sommelier bring our wine and discuss the wine with us. The bread is outstanding. Overall the food is quite good! Réservations are recommended ( even during the week) and if you want a specific table…make sure to specify!!!

    Spacious dining room that is beautifully and tastefully decorated. All tables have a view of open kitchen. The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Loved the zero proof cocktails that were thoughtfully created. Impressed to see these adult friendly choices for adults that don’t drink alcohol. Food was delicious. The pizza is a great value and definitely large enough to share. Portions of other dishes are relatively small. The cheese tray offerings were fantastic but the portions were very small and not truly a sharing plate. It didn’t detract from an enjoyable experience and we will definitely return.

    Have been waiting for an opportunity to try the Royal dining room.....my son came to town and treat us to a wonderful lunch. All the food - from the meatball appetizer, to the glorious pappardelle, to the juice running down your arm hamburger was outstanding!!!! Wine pairings were superb thanks to the knowledgeable waitress! Dessert was one of the best cannoli I've ever had.... so I'm definitely coming back and definitely recommending you try it! Cheers & Many thanks

    Second time at the Royal and this time for Brunch. We found this visit more enjoyable than our dinner in March. We both had the eggs Benny-bacon and the salmon. The hollandaise sauce was the hit for this. Another surprising discovery was the Beet Caesar…if you are a Caesar drinker this is a must try-I plan to go back just for this at some point. Enjoy!!

    Our meals were really disappointing. When my eggs Benny first arrived, I pierced my poached egg and it was still raw. The server happily replaced it (she was great), but I wish she hadn’t. The bacon wasn’t salty but sweet, the sautéed greens stiff and under-seasoned, the hollandaise unpleasant. There were a few different flavours, none of them good. My guest was equally unimpressed with her grilled radicchio. Sounded great on paper but was, at best, meh. Best thing about the meal was the side of frites. Throw in a mimosa and there goes $80. Sigh.

    We used our reservation to celebrate a birthday and we were 3 women in attendance, one being the birthday person. We truly enjoyed our stay. The ambience and surrounding was beautiful. Our waitress/attendant was superb. She engaged in a conversation, answered all our questions and we enjoyed chatting with her. At the end of the meal, just before we wanted to pay, we mentioned to her about the temperature of the meal on the plates. We had the Fogo Cod and the pasta with lamb. We did not want to complaint just raising awareness about the issue (temperature). The manager immediately approached us and had a conversation about the issue. We did not want to be critical , just raising awareness how the kitchen and waiting staff may improve the delivery of the food after it is on the plates. The manager offered to cover our dessert. We did not want this but accepted the gesture. We will be back and already look forward to this special visit. Living in Wellington, PEC, the Royal Hotel will be our special place to celebrate very special events. Wishing everybody best of luck , success and personal satisfaction in all endeavours.

    We were given someone else's coats at the end of the night after waiting 10 minutes and chasing down people to help. We have been before and really enjoyed the food but this time it was too salty. We were disappointed that an apology was not given for the long wait and the coat mix up. We seemed to be an inconvenience which put a damper on the whole experience.

    Absolutely stunning new addition to downtown Picton. From the minute you enter you will be impressed. The staff is inviting and polite. They are knowledgeable and focused on your enjoyment of the meal. The wine sommelier was help considering the have a 20 page wine booklet. Our server Ivan was attentive and talkative but also respectful of out space. My wife had the cod and enjoyed it but it was more then she could eat. The manager was concerned she didn't enjoy it and promptly came to ask if it was ok or if she wasn't satisfied/happy. I had the papperdella and braised Lamb. The pasta tasted hand made but the dish lacked any true flavour wow. All in all a beautiful restaurant and good meal, I had expected more but was satisfied with what I had. Definitely worth trying this new beautiful location in the county.
