Wow! This place absolutely deserves every star given! Our server, bless him I don’t remember his name, was remarkable. Attentive, conversational and incredibly friendly! We made a reservation here for a regular date night but he made us feel so welcome and special! All of the food was presented well and had such good flavour and texture. My husband and I started out with the duck sausage gnocchi, which was not quite what I was expecting (and our server picked up on that IMMEDIATELY) but was pleasantly surprised with it! Not the best dish we had ordered, but definitely still delicious. My braised short rib was nothing less than perfection. Slow cooked and melt in your mouth. My husband’s fish, halibut I believe, was insanely good. Tender, flakey and not overcooked at all! The sauce was buttery, but light and refreshing! I’m not a fish fan myself but I would absolutely order it next time I go. A lot of dedication went into to the planning of these dishes and it absolutely shows. You can tell that all the staff, from the kitchen to the service, take incredible pride in what they do! 100%, 10/10, will be spending many special occasions here.

First time coming to this restaurant and we loved it. The server we had was great. Food was fresh and great portion sizes. Amazing meals for kids at a great price. Loved how you can see the kitchen through the glass. We will definitely be going back. I also loved that the music was low enough that you could have a nice conversation. I hate when restaurants have the music up too high.

Mark provided great service and kindly answered all the questions that I had about the menu. The dishes were impressive. While waiting for the pizookie, I just thought folding a crane out of the napkin would be a nice addition for a photo with the dessert :)
Thank you for a great evening! I’ll be coming again soon!

We had spent the day out shopping after being away for a few months and decided to try XIX for our dinner tonight. We were worried we’d be outside the dress code, but the service was incredible. And the food was incredible as well. Mark our Server was excellent, will definitely be back, and recommend happily to friends.

We had Mark as a server and I have nothing but incredible things to say about him, my girlfriend and I were thoroughly impressed with his knowledge and professionalism.
We will definitely be back for more and keep up the great work Mark!

Always a great spot to watch some hockey in the lounge and have some good eats , the Ahi tuna twists and the baked cookie are the star of every table always .

Great food in atmosphere first time I've been there, went back two weeks later it was great again recommended
Always a very nice experience. Had the Halibut special. It was a little on the dry side. The crab cake appetizer, beer salad and warm butter cake are really good

We visited XIX for a date night and were immediately impressed by the elegant ambiance and vibrant atmosphere in the bar area. For starters, we ordered the cauliflower poppers and prawns. The prawns were excellent, while the cauliflower poppers were just average.
For mains, we chose the mussels in gorgonzola and the tuna bowl. Unfortunately, both dishes fell short of expectations—the flavors were underwhelming and didn’t leave a lasting impression. We also tried a dessert, which turned out to be the highlight of the meal—flavorful and well-presented.
Despite spending $150 for two people, we left feeling unsatisfied due to the small portion sizes. Overall, it's worth trying once for the ambiance and service, but we wouldn’t strongly recommend it based on value and portion size.

Very overpriced and portion size is too small. Good ambiance and staff are nice. Overall, not much recommend

Our server Mark was extremely friendly, informative & timely. The Bison short ribs on gnocchi he recommended were unbelievable. They had so many flavours that perfectly complimented eachother. I Would highly recommend this restaurant.
