Napanee Restaurants

Had a great dinner and Ethan our server was great.

Gem in Downtown Kingston. Would make the trek from Toronto for dinner here.

We were first time visitors and the experience did not start off great. We had reservations in the dining room, but did not know the front area was the bar and had it's own Hostess. They were busy, but we were the only people in line with the four staff members working the area pretending they didn't see us, or it wasn't there job. I finally had to wave one of them down, only to be told we were down the hall. Some signage could have saved us standing there, and a better reception would have avoided us standing there forming a negative opinion before the night even started. Once finding our way to the Dining Room, again we were the only ones in line and reception from the Dining Room hostess wasn't much better. It was a little strange. Once in and seated, our experience and impressions flipped 180degrees. The service was both pleasantly and perfectly attentive. The food was excellent. It is not cheap, but neither did we feel it under delivered. On a crappy Monday night, approaching Christmas, the place was VERY busy - surprisingly so. Although, the place is smallish which certainly adds to the noise levels. We will look forward to returning and will certainly be mindful when we do of how we are greeted by the hostess.

We have dined at this location before, but found the food, service and noise level much improved over previous experiences. On this occasion we requested a quiet table and our server patiently waited while we chose a different one. She was efficient and friendly, and never made us feel rushed. The food was very good, served quickly and all 4 of us said we'd have the same thing again.

It was exceptional as usual. Our favourite place to dine. Highly recommend!
