27 Best Wine Bars near Nepean

“We had a lot of time before our flight, so we stopped in for a bevy and a bite (April 25, 2026). Very happy to see that they had a couple of IPAs available as well as a decent selection of wines. We ordered drinks and the truffle popcorn, and followed that up with bruschetta. It wasn't very busy when we arrived, so we chatted a bit with Liam, who was helpful and friendly. I work in the wine industry, and when I found out he was interested in wines, we had a great conversation. He made our day an unexpected delight.“

“We’re two Nova Scotia moms in town for the Canadian Ringette Championship, and we ended up coming back to this restaurant FOUR nights in a row—which really says it all! Every visit was consistently amazing. We tried the steak sandwich, steak bites, French Onion soup, burgers, and the fish and chips (which were amazing). Everything was fresh, delicious, and exactly what we needed after long days at the rink. But the absolute highlight of our experience was Leslie. She is truly one of the best servers we’ve ever had—so warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. By the end of our week, we felt like we had made a new friend. Getting to know her was such a treat, and she made each visit even more special. Amazing food, incredible service, and an experience that kept us coming back night after night. Thank you for making our time here so memorable—especially you, Leslie! 💙“

“Highly recommend! I was hesitant at first because I had no idea what the majority of menu items were. I was completely blown away. I am a very picky person, but the menu and how the food was explained in full detail, no matter the question by our incredible waitress was the first sign this is the place to be! A huge thank you to the waitress especially, the staff as a whole and a huge high-five to the chefs for clearly putting your all in to every single menu item. I was fortunate enough to run in to one of the owners and give my nothing short of positive feedback. He was so grateful and humble. Keep it up all! Would recommend to anyone. Will be back!“

“First time visitor on March 23, to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The restaurant was happily booked up when I tried to make a reservation, so I was only able to secure a table at 5:15pm. I left a little note asking them to keep us in mind if there was a cancellation for a later spot, and they contacted me by email, text, and phone when a later table became available for 6:15pm. Very responsive and friendly staff. Our time at Soif was marvellous. The staff were friendly and extremely professional. Service was relaxed yet very polished. Our server was knowledgeable about the wine and took great care to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. We had a flight of wine to start, followed by a beautiful bottle of white, and a flight of bubbles to end our evening. We shared a half cheese/half charcuterie platter that came with a mountain of crispy and delicious crostini, the latter being refilled without having to ask. Such a small but lovely touch. We also shared roasted Brussels sprouts, frites and aioli, a bison tartare, and grilled radicchio, that were all delicious. They surprised my friend with a little dessert wine and candle to acknowledge her birthday, which was so kind and thoughtful. I have not a single critique. The team here works like a well-oiled machine. No one seemed frantic or rushed. It was a lovely evening. I (we) will definitely be back. Santé!“

“Awesome atmosphere and friendly staff“

“I was lucky enough to come to a beautiful wedding at the estate. There are a couple of venues for parties of different sizes. I loved the decor and rustic nature of everything.
A few things brushed me the wrong way but overall this is a beautiful space!“

“Amazing. Everything was excellent. Our waitress Amanda was on point even though it's a busy Valentine's day Saturday it felt like she went out of her way to make our experience the best.

Definitely a restaurant to visit again“

“Service is impeccable. The staff are warm and lovely. Food was delicious. I ordered the duck au poivre and it was cooked perfectly with a mix of well-seasoned vegetables. It was hard to choose from their menu and I’d love to come back for their lobster and steak dishes! I also had some of my friend’s brussel sprouts and it was amazing. Another friend ordered the mulled wine and while I didn’t taste it, it smelled wonderful.“

“Went here for dinner and had a great time! The food was absolutely lovely, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

You & your guests do not go for a meal at Harmon's, you go for a service & meal EXPERIENCE! From the moment you visit the specialty meats shop to being greeted & seated to being treated like a most valuable guest to the meal including a fantastic, not to miss dessert, this is beyond outstanding in every way. 3rd straight year for our wedding anniversary and we will return without question.“

“Lexington Bar and Grill has long been one of my favourite places to celebrate whether it’s a birthday, a date night, or any special occasion. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, and the service is consistently excellent. Their servers are friendly, attentive, and genuinely make you feel taken care of.

When it comes to food, Lexington can be incredible. My usual order includes the burnt ends, the fork‑and‑knife chicken, and their world‑famous potato salad. The chicken and potato salad are always spot‑on from comforting, flavorful, and reliably delicious.

Where things get tricky is with some of their barbecue items, especially the brisket and burnt ends. My favourite dish is the brisket, and when it’s done right, it’s unforgettable. There have been times when it’s arrived perfectly smoked, tender, and genuinely melt‑in‑your‑mouth good.. the kind of brisket that’s so juicy and rich you barely need to chew. Moments like those are exactly why I keep going back.

But unfortunately, those highs are inconsistent. I usually order the two‑meat platter with a piece of brisket and a rack of ribs, and more often than not the brisket shows up cold. That’s a real letdown, especially knowing how incredible it can be when everything lines up.

The burnt ends fall into the same pattern. At their best, they’re caramelized, smoky little cubes of perfection (Glossy, tender, and packed with flavour). But too often, they come out dry or lacking the depth and richness they’re known for. It’s disappointing because I know what Lexington is capable of on their best days.

All of this leaves me feeling like I’m playing a bit of Russian roulette with my plate. The potential is absolutely there, and when they hit their stride, the food is truly outstanding. I just wish the consistency matched the quality they can deliver.

That said, I still recommend Lexington especially if you stick to the standouts, like the fork‑and‑knife chicken and that legendary potato salad. When the kitchen’s on point, the experience is fantastic, and it remains one of my go‑to places for a special night out.“

“We had a lovely dinner at Joe's in Almonte tonight. Great service, good food and all around enjoyable.“

“cortese gentile professionale“

“My experience was amazing. The food and service was genuinely outstanding. I was blown away by the customer service and friendliness of the staff. The server had impeccable knowledge of the menu and the food was to die for. I would definitely 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to be blown away by a local restaurant with unique interior and delicious one of kind cuisine.“

“Excellent food…. Chicken Marsala was superb. We were there during Tulip Festival weekend and were warned that entrees would take a little longer. Drinks and appetizers were quick to arrive. A great atmosphere even though one patron was disrespectful and disruptive.
The situation was handled coolly by the owner and the rest of the evening was great. Ended with dessert and Limoncello!
A neighbourhood jewel in Little Italy“

“Excellent vegan option. Atmosphere was nice and cozy. Will definitely come back!“

“I recently celebrated my 50th birthday at Mezzanotte and it was a very nice experience. Not only is the restaurant aesthetically pleasing, the ambiance was amazing. I can’t say enough about our server Sue, she was attentive, personable, funny and made my first experience here a memorable one. We were a bigger group so I got to taste quite a few appetizers and everything was delicious. Main course was also to perfection! I can’t wait to pay them another visit soon.“

“Yessss very good , me and my wife is are best restaurant now and very nice people“

“I caught up with an old friend today for lunch and we couldn't have picked a better restaurant. The food was delicious and the margaritas amazing - both the regular one and the strawberry one. The decor is charming, fun and colourful. Our server took good care of us. We will definitely be back!“

“Love the vibe ! Our server was awesome“

“I came here for a birthday party and the service was amazing. We were served by Joe and George, and they were incredible and really nice. The service was great and the food was absolutely amazing (kudos to the chef!). I will definitely come back again!“
