“I can't begin to express how exceptional my birthday dinner at Twenty Kitchen & Bar in St. Catharines, Ontario, was. The culinary prowess on display here deserves nothing less than a Michelin star.The food was simply 10/10. I ordered the gnocchi and brussels sprouts, which were divine and cooked to perfection. The yuzu cocktail and mango/peach sour beer were both beyond refreshing and complemented the food delightfully. Compared to other restaurants in St. Catharines, the food quality, taste, and imaginative plating put Twenty Kitchen & Bar in a league of its own. Seriously, they're playing a different game!What sets this place apart is not just the food, but the overall experience they've curated. The restaurant is tucked away inside an apartment building—a stellar deviation from the norm that added to the intimate and laid-back atmosphere. With limited seating—just eight twin-top tables and five bar chairs—the place is cozy and filled with a calming aura. You can hear the light R&B serenade from the front-of-house kitchen, which is so small it could barely fit two! That being said, the output from this tiny space outranks many established kitchens in terms of quality and flavor.The restaurant's single host/server/bartender (a tattooed and bearded chap) added to the incredible experience. He was super friendly, striking up social interactions when appropriate, and maintained a professional ambiance. How can I forget the complimentary champagne offered after I indicated through my reso that we were celebrating my birthday?! This celebratory toast was a delightful personal touch, making our visit even more memorable.I feel the owner must be incredibly proud of the unique and captivating culinary experience they’ve cultivated here at Twenty Kitchen & Bar. They've done a phenomenal job!To all my friends and anyone I know visiting St. Catharines, I'm not just recommending this place - I'm raving about it! This has been one of my top-notch dining experiences, and I urge anyone visiting the city to put Twenty Kitchen & Bar at the top of their dining destination list.So thank you, Twenty Kitchen & Bar for making my birthday an unforgettable event. I will be back again, no doubt!“

“Danny, this man was an absolute delight. His service was impeccable and went over and beyond to make sure we had one of the best experiences while dining at this fine establishment. Truly adore coming here, a little taste of “home”. When we come back, I definitely want Danny as our server again!“
“We had a great dinner here. In fact we have had many great meals here. Staff are quick and attentive, food comes quick and cooked as requested. The atmosphere is nice and the restaurant is well taken care of. Prices are more than fair for the quality and portions, we send all of our friends and family here who haven’t been and all agree it’s great!“
“This has easily been one of my all time favourite restaurants for over a decade now and I’ve always had a great experience. Unfortunately last night, I ordered the chicken Alfredo and this was the only time I have ever had any issues, as I didn’t make it out of the restaurant before getting sick. While I’m unsure if it was my chicken or the heavier amount of sauce, I still mentioned it to our server as embarrassed as I felt. I assured her that I wasn’t upset and it wasn’t her fault. Things happen sometimes and it’s not enough to turn me off from this place because of one experience (which thankfully I recovered from in a couple of hours). She apologized and offered to remove the dish from our bill, which although I told her I wasn’t expecting as I still consumed it and would have paid for it, she ultimately stressed that she just wanted me to feel better. I don’t remember her name but I am very appreciative of her understanding and kindness, so if by chance she sees this, I wanted to say thank you.“
“great place to dine with a special someone. love the mocktail choices. service was spot on. food all delicious. their rotating menu makes it easy to go back again & again! loved the cheeseburger bao buns the most, also tried thanksgiving nachos and the (slightly spicy) dumplings. you will see me here again.“
“Wow what a beautiful space! So well done! Cool art gallery up top too. The ladies working were very nice. Had fun trying the ciders. They didn’t have as many as they normally do but enjoyed what they did have! Off season when we went so the kitchen wasn’t up and running.“
“Right off the bat we were warmly welcomed and promptly seated. We had a fantastic, hilarious server Jacob who kept us laughing and even helped with my macros! It was obvious the staff enjoyed working here and it was a great vibe with delicious food!! I was actually blown away how tasty my kale salad was.. Thanks guys!“
“Run, don't walk to try this resto! The restaurant is a charming hidden gem, nestled on a quiet residential street, in an old appliance store. The rustic atmosphere when you enter is super inviting and casual. The curated menu, on a chalkboard wall, is thoughtful, creative and and each item you see makes it very difficult to choose from as they are all so intriguing. My goal is to order them all over the course of the year. Decided to have a Caesar salad, a mushroom pizza, and a bottle of wine. The Caesar salad was awesome, the homemade dressing paired with the chef's made pancetta and croutons, the perfect mix! The pizza, I don't know where to start...or how to even speak to it, that would give it the credit it deserves! I've been privileged and blessed to have travelled all over the world, and had some of the best of the best pizzas. I have to say, this pizza, is within the top I can count on a hand! From a crust that's divine, to ingredients that have you savouring every bite, the pizza in one word, is WOW! Great job chef, I can't wait to come in to try the rest of the menu. Bravo!“
