I absolutely love the vibe of beautiful this mid-century restaurant, it's so romantic. The food was delicious and unique and the staff were so kind and knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Pros:-excellent, highly attentive service. The servers were by far the best part of the Everly experience.-Decor and atmosphere have potential-Great assortment of wines and cocktails.Cons:-The menu is repetitive, restrictive, and lacks creativity. You can have either Steak and deep fried potatoes (like fries). Fish, or pasta (vegetarian). A vegetable on the plate would be really lovely, or less focus on the deep fried potato stick.-they bring you dry bread bites without any spread, butter, or oil. It was strange and not very appetizing.-the seating for 2 is cramped. You’re elbow to elbow with the other guests. A date night feels more like speed dating. The larger tables for groups seemed to have a little more separation, but we were literally in the conversations of the people beside us.-This place is LOUD. With so many tables tightly together, everyone needs to yell to be heard.Neutral: The food was expensive but seemed fair to market price. The food met (but did not exceed) expectations. We weren’t disappointed, but we were not excited. Unfortunately what we remember from here was the dry bread offering with no spread and the “deep fried potato theme” as the only side for a large majority of the plates.Overall a nice place to check out once or maybe good for groups. Not recommended for a date night or party of 2. We’ll be regulars somewhere else.

My Favourite Place to Eat! We are so lucky to have this in Kingston. I especially love bringing people who haven't been before and seeing them enjoy it for the first time! It's my staycation vacation every time I go. Great Owners and Staff. Can't say enough! Incredible!!

Best meal I’ve had in ages! Had the kale salad and the squash agnolotti and just WOW… incredible meal, service was impeccable. Wish I got the name of our server. She was blonde and really sweet and helpful. We will be back again!

The beef tartare was very good. The beef parpadelle is terrible. Do yourself a favor and do not order that. It is so bland, absolutely no flavors...not even good olive oil, salt, pepper or cheese. Kinda like a hamburger helper without the the sauce mix, just steak and pasta. I had everyone at my table taste it and all had the same impressions. The service was not the best as well, pretty slow and not very personal.

The portions were small but the service and the atmosphere were out of this world. Absolutely beautiful interior, stellar performance from the hostess and the wait staff. I also loved the food, all of it, we started with oysters and the chicken liver pate and we each ordered a vegetarian pasta dish, both so fresh and well made, but we were disappointed with the portion sizes.

My friend and I popped into The Everly on a whim and were pleasantly surprised. The entire experience was delightful from start to finish. The food was amazing and we were introduced to a most excellent wine. The service; oh the service! The servers demonstrated the utmost professionalism. Our coats were hung up for us when we arrived and were collected when we were ready to leave. One of the staff even held the door for us as we left. Jordan was an absolute pleasure to chat with and was extremely knowledgeable about the menu items and wines. Overall a great experience. Thanks everyone. As Arnie would say " We'll be back". ?
My friend and I had reservations at another restaurant when we happened to come across the Everly. We decided to go in to have a glass of wine prior to our 6pm reservation, in order to kill time. Neither of us had ever been to the Everly before and what a wonderful gastronomical discovery it turned out to be! We sat at the bar and ordered the chicken pate and a glass of the PEC orange wine, both of which blew us away. Needless to say, we cancelled our reservation at the other place and decided to stay at the Everly for supper. Although small, the menu has been developed so there is something for everyone. Steak, seafood and pasta. My friend and I each had a pasta dish and we were thoroughly pleased and impressed by the freshness and quality of each dish. We even had dessert, the peach tart, which was absolutely heavenly and perfectly made without being overly sweet. A perfect finish to a five-star meal. The atmosphere at the Everly is calm and relaxing and decorated in an updated Art Deco, very sophisticated without being overdone. We were there on Wednesday evening and the place was almost filled which is unusual these days in the restaurant business but shows you that others, too, have discovered this lovely little jewel in the heart of downtown Kingston. One thing I have not mentioned is the service. Absolutely outstanding. Our server Jordan, understood and shared how each dish is made, with an emphasis on the Everly's farm to table approach. He takes great pride in his work and his attention to detail made us feel like very special customers even though this was our first visit. And it won't be our last. It's been a long time since I've had such a wonderful dining experience and I am making the Everly my go-to place whenever I'm in Kingston.

The beef tartare was amazing, the service and the other items people at my table had, not so much, other than the tartare most gave their dinners a 5 or 6 out of 10. A couple of people who had the fries, said they were very good.Overall we expected more.It is a very noisy place.Dietary restrictions: The restaurant will work with people who have dietary restrictions

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A perfect dinner! Celebrated my birthday at The Everly and it was amazing.?️ Food: The food was mouth-watering! Loved that they have a rotating menu featuring local and in-season ingredients. Seriously, that mint cucumber salad and the fresh peach ? dessert…?! #Sogood?? Service: The staff totally made my day. Super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, they pointed us to some amazing choices and made the experience ??.? Atmosphere: The vibe was on point. Music was so good we were even Shazaming songs so we could save the playlist :).All in all, best birthday dinner ever. Can't wait to go back to The Everly! Thank you Amber and Jamie + Co ?
I checked out the Everly with my husband first in April and then again in September. Both times we were steered to the worst tables in the restaurant because we didn’t have reservations and were told the tables were all reserved. Imagine our surprise when we heard people come to the door (we were seated right beside the door at the worst table in the place) and heard others come in without reservations and were guided to great tables. Maybe we’re not good looking enough but I gave the restaurant another chance to make good and was treated the same way both times. We also happen to run airbnbs in Kingston and have the option to recommend local restaurants all of the time. We, understandably, never recommend the Everly. Never again!

We live in Kingston and this is our favourite place to go for that exceptional dining experience. If you’re looking for that place which stands out above the usual found in the downtown, this is the restaurant to try. The intimate setting and customer focused service complements the creative and exceptional menu. Have not had a disappointing visit yet and will definitely be back again.
