Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Chinatown / Kensington Market

I always like the Reign, since its first day opening. I like the regal setting, the decoration, the service and the warm and experienced faces of the servers. The food is equally good and the portions are quite big to give the customers their value. I will always go back to the Reign when friends are in town, when my children came to visit and each and every celebrations.

I had the pleasure of dining at Joni Restaurant yesterday for a Christmas dinner with my son, and it was truly a memorable experience. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The service was impeccable, with the staff being attentive, warm, and professional. The chef’s menu was outstanding, featuring creative dishes that were both beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and festive, but I couldn't help but feel that a touch of Christmas music—perhaps soft background tunes or even a live band or singer—would have elevated the holiday spirit even further. It was the only element missing from an otherwise perfect evening. Thank you to the entire team at Joni Restaurant for making our Christmas dinner special. We will definitely be back

The food was excellent, especially the steak and the fish. The space is well designed, smaller dining areas throughout the restaurant. Our server was great

Food was AMAZING! Very rarely do I go to a restaurant and EVERYTHING we ate was great. We got a platter for 2 that included 3 meats and 3 sides. Portions were great and it was a great deal for the money. Gave us the option of trying a lil bit of everything from the menu. We got pork ribs, beef brisket and the half chicken with cornbread, waffle sweet potato fries & Mac & cheese. Still thinking about that Mac & chese to this day! Wish I got a to go plate lol. There was enough food to make us full plus take home leftovers. I will recommend this place to everyone! Only thing I would change is I would've opted for a bigger table since we got a whole platter. It took up the entire table lol

As always we a great experience at ABH. During the holidays the decor and ambiance is really cozy and we tend to frequent it several times. On a cold and snowy day sitting by the fireplace and water is a must if you haven’t tried it! Food and drinks are always on point!
