“If I could give this place 10 stars I would.

This place is absolutely incredible.

The food is really something special. Super delicious and carefully curated and executed to perfection.

The drinks that they make are also very well curated and has me excited to try each new concoction they come up with.

The food AND drinks arrive to the table in top quality with incredible presentation.

Their beer selection is also extremely well planned as they choose quality beers.

The owner and the chef are geniuses as this place lives in my mind rent free.

Easily my favorite place to go in St Catherines hands down.

As a huge special bonus… they have a corndog truck that they open on special weekends and occasion that do really creative corndogs.

If you love a cheese pull as much as me, you get the cheese corn dog.

Kudos to Pharmacii!!“

“Duru St. Catharines is a lovely place to have a Korean/Japanese meal. A group of girls and I dined there for a mid-week lunch. Some of the foods we had included the Bento box (salmon teriyaki, Bento Box (tempura vegetable), Bimibob (groups of veggies, daikon radish, protein with egg on top), Bento Box (Bulgogi which is nicely spiced beef), Cold noodle soup, appetizer of rice porridge with sesame oil. The Bento box is a box with compartments of rice, entree, salad, fried dumpling and a condiment tray of kimchi/small fish strips/daikon radish noodles. We had cheese balls which are similar to mainstream cheeseballs but with a sweet, crispy sticky rice coating. All of the food was delicious! Also, we had a spicy (but not too spicy) Carbonara type cheesy noodle dish. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great food and service in a cute little restaurant!!“

“We had an excellent experience at Wind tonight- there was an unfortunate event of a medical emergency, in which the staff reacted with the upmost compassion and professionalism. The guest quietly insisted on covering the drinks for the people around them (which was so so so kind & unnecessary- but thank you ❤️ just glad you are okay), and Wind covered an additional round if we were interested, which was totally above and beyond for a circumstance outside of anyone’s control. My deepest gratitude & well wishes go towards the guest who had a tough night- that was so kind & generous of you, I hope you’re doing well ❤️ and to the staff who maintained a positive energy & professional manner, job well done, everything was handled so courteously & thoughtfully.“
