Diner • $$
“We had the privilege of having your turkey dinner delivered this year. It was amazing and so delicious. Thank you to everyone who put in work so that we were able to have that meal. As a large family sometimes traditions like a Christmas dinner have to be put on the back burner due to lack of funds, funds having to go towards groceries that cost an insane amount. My point of this is just to truly thank everyone of you that had a part in making our meal. There was a lot of money, time and effort that went into making this happen. Your efforts do not go unnoticed.”

“The staff at this location are hardworking, kind, and try very hard to go out of their way for their customers. They are an extremely busy location, especially if there are buses stopping in from the highway. They handle that pressure very well. There is plenty of seating. There are charger ports and plugs in various areas of the dining room. The playplace is open and available to use and is fun for ages toddlers and up. There is a dining area in the playplace room. There is one plug available in the playplace room. There is also a washroom available in the playplace room, but it needs to be requested.
We are huge fans of their quarter pounder blt, both the coffee and caramel iced coffee, and any of their happy meals.

Italian • $$
“My son and daughter in law were recently married at our home. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Go Italian and their catering service and in particular Jess. They arrived and quickly quietly and efficiently. They made the who experience so relaxing and easy. The food was piping hot and so flavourful. We had four dinner options and each one was as tasty as the others. The guest loved the food! What impressed me the most was Jess’ attention to the food accommodations of the guests with allergies. These dishes were prepared first so there could be no cross contamination. She personally delivered the to the specific guest and I had no concerns at all that each of these guest receive dinners that were safe for them. It was a load off this Moms mind! Lastly, they left the way they arrived quietly, efficiently and professionally. They left enough food in containers for the bride and grooms families and the wedding party to feed their families the day following the wedding. My kitchen was left cleaner than it was when they arrived! Five stars really isn’t enough to rate our experience with Go Italian catering.”

“Wow ate here yesterday, burger was amazing, definitely one of the best burgers I've had”
Hamburger • $
“It's more than food. It's an experience. I've been to the restaurant a couple of times now, and all I can say is that I never thought I could achieve this feeling without requiring the presence of another human being and nudity. The burgers did things to my mouth that I'm sure there are morality laws against in some countries. And after trying the Thousand Islands Burger, the Big Mac is now dead to me.”

“unfortunate, drove in from Smiths Falls to get sauce. The meat sauce was bland and had very little meat. I have eaten there many many times and one of my family worked there. I don't know if it was a bad day, but it was like out of a jar. Very disappointing.”
Italian • $$
“I went to Bella last Wednesday for a retirement treat with a companion. My steak was over cooked and had to be returned for a retire. The second one was perfect but I was disappointed that we didn’t get to eat our meals together. Would have appreciated a gesture of customer service for the inconvenience but none was forthcoming, not even a complimentary coffee. All in all the food was great once prepared properly.”

Vietnamese • $
“My new favourite Vietnamese place in Kingston. Moved back to town after living in Toronto for 10 years and one of the things i missed the most was being able to get good bún bò huê. I think it's just being offered as a special right now but I really hope they make it a permanent option. Broth is savory and a little spicy with a hint of sourness. Full of meats. Mmmmmmmm. I've had it at a lot of restaurants in Toronto and this place beats almost all of them.
Their fresh rolls are also really soft and tasty and I love that they serve pickled daikon and carrot with it. I've had their Vietnamese coffee and house special pho before and while I wish it had tendon or tripe it was also very tasty. Portions are large, food comes out quick, and staff are very nice.
Please everyone order the bún bò huê so they're encouraged to keep it on their menu forever. 🙏🥹”

Sandwich Shop • $
“Excellent staff and excellent prep of food. My low rating for atmosphere is the cloud of cigarette smoke I have to walk through to get into the restaurant. At one point, I came out and had two people leaning against my car out for a smoke from the bar upstairs. Before anyone says I'm being judgemental about smokers- I'm a smoker, but a considerate one.”
Whiskey Bar • $
“Musiikki Café & Whiskey Bar is an absolute gem! After enjoying some expertly crafted cocktails and a fantastic selection of local microbrewery beers, we stayed for an evening of live music that perfectly complemented the warm and intimate ambiance. The setting is small and quaint, making it feel unique and cozy, yet vibrant. The variety of spirits and the care put into the drink offerings truly impressed us. Whether you're a whiskey enthusiast or just looking for a relaxed night out with great music and atmosphere, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable and laid-back experience!”
Vietnamese • $
“Haven’t been back here since it first opened. But tonight we ended up downtown and in search of pho.
Placed was packed but things moved quickly. As expected their PHO broth was incredible, even the chicken based one which I find lacking at some other places.
Love that they offer multiple sizes. Small is often more than enough. They also aren’t skimpy on the sides providing bean sprouts, basil, lemon, sambal, sriracha and hoisin.
Prices were fair, the staff were super friendly and make sure it’s very clean between guests.”
Pasta • $
“I am so disapointed in myself for not trying your pasta sooner! absolutely delicious.

Wait staff are friendly and well trained, and you are left alone for just the right length of time before they check on you again.
Atmosphere is an English Pub, kind of loud, but well intentioned, folks enjoying the food and service.
Washrooms are clean and well supplied.
Parking can be a little crazy, but mostly, it works. They have a very efficient, full menu take-out service as well.”

“There’s claw machines, bubble tea, dim sum, noodles and just a great variety. There’s also plenty of seating with big tables perfect for studying. The dumplings were very juicy with a savoury filling. The braised beef noodles were not the greatest. The soup was a bit bland and some pieces of beef were dry and chewy but the noodles were great. It’s a bit expensive for the food quality but not a bad place to visit.”

“We were on a winter get away for the night at the Marriott and not wanting to brave the cold after a swim came downstairs to Aqua Terra for dinner. The food was beyond expectations. Our server Tyson was the best...friendly and offering suggestions. The choices were difficult, we wanted to try everything. We settled on the duck and rib eye steak. Both delicious, cooked to perfection. Tyson surprised us with an appetizer of soft shell crab, could it get any better? The atmosphere is lovely, the winter view of the water, Harbour and ferry perfect.Thank you for making our special night... can't wait to return. Wendy”

The real kicker in my eyes though is pool, Cornhole, rod hockey (and soccer) as well as an extensive collection of boardgames that are all FREE. What a diamond in the rough in the entertainment world. Seriously... (Don't) 🤫 Go there now. Honest if I was local I would't have reviewed it... it's that good.

“The food, drinks, and service were nothing short of exceptional! We visited for the NYE 5-course menu, and every single dish was a masterpiece—each bite was better than the last. The atmosphere was simply perfect, and I was especially impressed by their innovative and delicious non-alcoholic cocktail options.
A huge thank you to Nancy and Sean for going above and beyond to make us feel incredibly welcome with our newborn. Their warmth, attentiveness, and care created an unforgettable experience, and the quality of the food and service was truly top-notch.”

“Absolutely amazing food! the freshest poke, salmon, and sushi you can get. My boyfriend and I love coming here, it’s easily one of our favorite spots in Kingston. The prices are super reasonable for how fresh everything is, and the service is always great. The atmosphere is lovely too, really makes the whole experience even better.
If you’re wondering what to try, my boyfriend swears by the spicy kani, and I highly recommend the salmon poke bowl! it’s always beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. 10/10, we can’t recommend this place enough!”

Thai • $$
“We enjoyed a delicious meal yesterday. We had veggie spring rolls, green curry chicken and chicken pad Thai. All was fresh and very well presented. The young man who served us was lovely and friendly although I think he was the only server trying to look after everyone he kept smiling. We will definitely return the next time we’re in Kingston. 5 stars for sure!!!”

Barbecue • $$
“Matty Boy BBQ was one of the best parts of our wedding! The food was unbelievable. Locally sourced food, smoked and cooked to perfection, and generous portions, what more could you ask for? Vegetarian options- they got em! The presentation of our meal at the buffet/carving station was so unique! It was an experience for us and the guests. Our guests raved about the meal and complimented all aspects of Matty Boy BBQ’s offering. Their professionalism and enthusiasm is unmatched. Matt was flexible and accommodating. The team comes with all the equipment they need and they respect the wedding setup. Thank you for an incredible experience! My husband was passionate about having a delicious meal and he nailed the decision to have our meal from Matty Boy BBQ.”

“This place never disappoint when it comes to food. Everything is cook in perfection. My husband usually wont eat calamari for appetizer mostly because every place we've been overcook them but this place did it perfectly.. Server is nice and polite.. We are sure to come back soon..”
Sushi Bar • $$
“I thought the food was pretty good quality and very reasonably priced. The rules were good and service was fast and friendly. I definitely would come back here again.”
Sushi Bar • $$
“Great sushi including delicious vegetarian. The deluxe black dragon with bbq eel was awesome as well as the Philadelphia. Super fresh and although the price is high, I would pay it again. My only complaint is that they serve ginger and wasabi in packets. I don’t understand how a place with that quality of sushi can’t afford to provide a nicer ginger and wasabi. Also Would definitely love to see some additional flavourful vegetarian like a lightly fried vegetarian dynamite roll, some spicy mayo veggie rolls, the use of sundried tomatoes.”
Japanese • $$
“The service was fast and good. However, some of the dishes seemed to have changed style or presentation since the pictures were taken.
It usually won't impact food much, but with Sushi, it defined the shape and texture.”
Sushi • $$
“This is honestly the only good place to eat in this entire mall - I have eaten at every location and Bento Sushi is the best. Great food, prices and portions but limited options. I always order the Spicy California poke bowl (sometimes without the wakame(seaweed) salad as it is very fishy). Cost $13 with tax.- white rice base under other toppings / not to spicy”

“Pleasantly surprised. In our family, birthday venues are chosen by the individual whose birthday it is - even if no one else wants it. I had even tried to dissuade him, particularly after the reviews I had read. We had it delivered, within the expected time, by a sweet elderly gentleman. The food was wonderful. The food exceed ed expectations. The quality of the ingredients, always a pet peeve - whether it's the freshness of the veggies, the quantity, or the quality of the meat. Definitely not a problem with this order.”

“My son and daughter in law were recently married at our home. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Go Italian and their catering service and in particular Jess. They arrived and quickly quietly and efficiently. They made the who experience so relaxing and easy. The food was piping hot and so flavourful. We had four dinner options and each one was as tasty as the others. The guest loved the food! What impressed me the most was Jess’ attention to the food accommodations of the guests with allergies. These dishes were prepared first so there could be no cross contamination. She personally delivered the to the specific guest and I had no concerns at all that each of these guest receive dinners that were safe for them. It was a load off this Moms mind! Lastly, they left the way they arrived quietly, efficiently and professionally. They left enough food in containers for the bride and grooms families and the wedding party to feed their families the day following the wedding. My kitchen was left cleaner than it was when they arrived! Five stars really isn’t enough to rate our experience with Go Italian catering.”

“The food, beer, service and atmosphere was great!! The bathroom was disgusting. Men and women should not share a bathroom. Sorry to state the fact that men are disgusting when it come to hitting the toilet bowl. The floor in the stalls was covered in urine which ended up on the bottom of my shoes. You never see this in a ladies washroom.”

“Went there with 3 friends at 12 noon on a Sunday with no reservations. Place was packed but they said about a 15-20 minute wait. They were pretty true to their word. Waitress was quick to approach us (sorry I didn't get her name). Ordered our food and did not wait long at all for our food to be ready. Food was phenomenal! Each of us ordered different things and there was not one complaint. Highly recommend.”

“The food was great, obviously. But the big draw here is the great seating. Poutine with hot dog in it is a Quebecois classic. Big Bites did not disappoint. Fast service and great sturdy takeout containers. The employees have really delicious recommendations and the poutine comes with a PICKLE. How amazing is that???”

“The staff at this location are hardworking, kind, and try very hard to go out of their way for their customers. They are an extremely busy location, especially if there are buses stopping in from the highway. They handle that pressure very well. There is plenty of seating. There are charger ports and plugs in various areas of the dining room. The playplace is open and available to use and is fun for ages toddlers and up. There is a dining area in the playplace room. There is one plug available in the playplace room. There is also a washroom available in the playplace room, but it needs to be requested.
We are huge fans of their quarter pounder blt, both the coffee and caramel iced coffee, and any of their happy meals.
Overall 5/5 for this mcdonalds and their staff especially.
