Perfect location next to Theatre Aquarius. Extensive menu for such a tiny space. Reservations recommended pre-theatre. Great pizza. Good wine list.

Delicous fresh and 100% prepared in house. Best value and best kept secret in town. Epic, really. Incredible service with a smile. The French Onion grilled cheese on homemade sourdough, Tomato rosemary soup (was soup of the day) and Cobb salad are unmatched!

I've been twice now. Once for Brunch and once for dinner and both times were fantastic! Can't beat a $5 mimosa for brunch! All 6 of us at dinner loved our food. 3 had the pizza, and apparently the crust is top notch! Will definitely be back to try more off the menu

We were literally the ONLY diners in the restaurant so we got the undivided attention and food came out quickly. Ordered the meatball appetizer, gnocchi and steak frites. Everything was delicious. We were too full for a dessert but we'll go back to try them for sure!

Ordered delivery last night for the first time. Had never been here prior but very intrigued by a French Italian fusion, given they are 2 of our favorites. The mushroom gnocchi, chicken and fries were all stand outs. Given that we live a good 15-20min drive away we were not expecting everything to taste so Fresh. We will definitely be visiting in person soon to get the full experience.

Delicious food and gracious service. Both roast beef on a panini and the beef bourgignon were a treat to the senses.

We were really looking forward to trying Seasoned Restaurant for lunch to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday before our show at Theatre Aquarius next door. Everything started off great. We had a reservation, were seated on the patio, and our server Kristin brought us water and took our orders. I ordered a Cosmopolitan and my fiancé ordered a Tom Collins, along with the meatballs to start and the French Onion Grilled Cheese and Chicken Focaccia for our mains.

A few minutes later, our server returned to ask for ID. I’m 21 and my fiancé just turned 28. I offered to show a photo of my ID since I don’t usually carry the physical card with me, but she refused to even look at it, which I understand to a point as I know I look young. My fiancé, however, showed his driver’s license which had expired just 3 days prior, along with his renewal paperwork, health card, and PAL license, all valid forms of photo ID clearly showing his age. She refused all of them.

Without offering to bring back the drink menu, she suggested a non-alcoholic mojito instead. I agreed, assuming it would be freshly made as it usually is at other restaurants. Unfortunately, it came from a can with ingredients listed as carbonated water, cane sugar, and lime juice concentrate. There was no mint, and it tasted more like sweetened lime water than a mojito.

When another staff member, possibly the chef, brought out our appetizer, I politely asked him to take the drink away since it tasted awful. I had only taken one sip. He seemed surprised and questioned me, saying “Awful?” and then, “Well, it’s a mocktail, there’s no rum.” I explained that I understood that, but it just didn’t taste good. The exchange came across as dismissive and unnecessary. If I didn’t like it, there was no reason to make me feel uncomfortable for saying so.

The food itself was fine. The meatballs and sandwiches were decent, but the overall experience was disappointing. We had hoped to make this our regular spot before shows at Theatre Aquarius, but unfortunately the service left a bad impression.

Edit in response to the Owner:

Thank you for your response. I understand you have to follow AGCO regulations, and that was never the issue. What’s disappointing is that your reply ignores the rest of my concerns. The way the situation was handled, the refusal to accept my fiancé’s valid government-issued photo IDs (his health card and PAL license), the lack of courtesy afterward, and the dismissive attitude when I politely sent back a drink that didn’t taste good.

At no point were we argumentative about the alcohol policy. We accepted your decision and moved on, but the overall experience was uncomfortable and poorly handled. A respectful explanation at the time, or even here in your response, would have gone a long way.

Food is simple and delicious . From Cocktails to meatball appetisers to the salmon main course was very well prepared

Carolyn

Always a treat to enjoy a meal at Seasoned! The salmon was perfectly cooked and the pasta with butternut squash also was delicious

Steve

Very tasty food, fantastic service and great atmosphere. I attended a private function (company/family party.) Everyone loved the food. Many guests ordered the mushroom gnocchi and found it excellent. Amazing desserts. Also, they make their own sourdough bread. On Sundays, parking is free (as of 2025) in the nearby municipal parking lot. Check the restaurant's website if you are going for Sunday brunch as that may not be offered year-round. There is outdoor patio seating available when the weather is suitable.

This restaurant is great. Family run and very reasonable. Always book it with different friends and all are very happy with the service, food and the access to the Theater. The chef quite often comes out and talks to you and you can see them preparing your meals. Highly recommend this restaurant to any one, but, make reservations as it is a small venue. If the Banana Cream Brule is on the menu, you must order it. I have had Cream Brule at different locations around the world and I must say their Banana Creme Brulee was the best!!!

The roast beef sandwich is the best hands down.
