So happy to have this gem opened again! The new deck is enormous and there is still patio seating next to the bar. Beers are cheaper than previous. The food truck style food still hits the spot, with tacoes and hot dogs available.

I had a meal in this restaurant, only ordered mains and vegetables as side dishes, the food was covered with garlic, it was like the chef didn't know what to do with the meat and just added something to make it taste better, but there was too much garlic and I couldn't taste it. The service was good and the restaurant looked nicely decorated.
Around the corner from the Elgin King Hotel is a great restaurant, not much signage outside, not much hype in town, but the food is amazing. The charcuterie platter is enough for 3, there are many choices of meats, a nice addition of cheese (sauce, chili, tomato sauce are all good), the pasta dishes are also good (we had seafood spaghetti and cheese gnocchi), and the desserts are delicious. They also have steaks on the grill, and a good selection of wines. (It's quiet and private.) Even if you don't live nearby, you can come with friends.

The low-key space serves fresh and delicious seafood. We had great and friendly service throughout the meal. The oyster selection is first class with six different types from both coasts

This restaurant is a unique place on the banks of the Rideau River. Our family had brunch on the terrace overlooking the many boathouses and of course the river. The food was varied and reportedly all very good. I personally had the fish and chips and it was difficult to finish it all as it was so large

I always come here to eat their delicious tofu dish. It never disappoints. Tonight exceeded my expectations. Delicious as usual, the tofu pyramid is so cute I don’t want to take it apart,

The two girls working in the restaurant in the mornings are always happy, polite and very efficient. They will adapt the menu to your needs, whether it's dietary, vegetarian or otherwise - just ask and they will do their best. The food is always delicious, hot and not greasy

The ribs tasted especially good, the chicken rolls were also delicious, the waiting time was not very long, so we were able to eat the delicious food right away when we were hungry, the waiter's service was very thoughtful, and the price was very reasonable

This restaurant is small and expensive, but the environment is very good, the dishes are good, very worth it.
