Should and could have been much better.We arrived at 4 pm and it was empty but for the front window and a group at the back. A group of staff at the bar chatting. No one greeted us so after a few moments we headed toward a booth for two.A young woman then rushed over and asked if we had a reservation. We didn't but it was Four. She then says she can seat us at the middle table not a booth. Ok that's fine. She puts us *right next* to the group so we got a free lesson about local beer from their tour guide who was loud.Our waitress was very friendly, no problem there. We ordered drinks and entrees ... everything was good but not out of this world. The group left and we were alone at our table by the kitchen. In the empty restaurant.The waitress checked on " our first few bites" when we were nearly done.We finished our meals.The four wait staff chatted at the bar the whole time. We decided we were not having more drinks or dessert.I had to get up and put my coat on to get the bill. All the booths were still empty when we left. There were six adults and one child left when we left. All in all, would not recommend.

good atmosphere for a drink date but food took and hour and 15 minutes for 2 breakfasts, the food came out cold and tables around us were seated, served and left before we saw any food. fried chicken benedict was a barely breaded piece of chicken that was like a soggy chicken tender that had been sliced in 2 to make it go farther. server was very good about not charging us for the cold disappointing food and was the only saving grace. cant say the first impression of this place was any good though.

This has been a usual haunt for my family, and our out of town guests and we have been about 10-15 times in the last year and plan to continue dining there every few weeks. They are the most consistent in town for decent food and relaxed atmosphere.Their duck and chicken dishes are incredible along with a fun and creative cocktail list.To note: On the weekends the place can get quite busy and loud and a reservation is definitely advised.My only critique is that the service is slow and is lacking for the price of a plate (30-50$ per entre per person)

Mushroom Toast was amazing with A Prince Eddie beer on Tap.
The black dog tavern is the best place in Kingston for gluten free food. The food is all amazing and almost everything is gluten free so you don’t have to worry about cross contamination. You can order and eat like you would if you weren’t gluten intolerant or allergic. They make amazing fish and chips. The steak is always perfect and the wait staff make sure your experience is top notch. I try and take my lovely lady here anytime we are in the city. I would book a table when possible as a place this good is often very busy.Dietary restrictions: Celiac’s delight. This place makes you feel like you are well thought of and the menu is deep with options

Grab dinner before a show at Slush Puppy place, fantastic steak and frit and the leek and ale mac and cheese was very good.Reservations were recommended but they squeezed us in last minute, the service is very friendly and informative of the Kingston area.Highly recommend visiting.
My husband and I wanted to eat out on Saturday night, but when I went to make a reservation we either had to book 4:30 or 8:15 as everything in between was already taken. We decided to eat early, and I am actually really glad we did as the place was charming, the server had the time to chat with us (she was lovely and really funny), and it was quiet because it was still so empty. By the time we had finished our meal the place was getting quite crowded, and it was difficult to converse because of the joyous din of all the other patrons. My meal (herbed chicken, soup of the day (cauliflower, potato, cheddar), and bread pudding dessert) were all delicious.Parking: Parking downtown can be tricky but there are several outdoor paid lots, and indoor lot, and street parking all within 2 blocks of the restaurant.

Very friendly server. We were there so Sunday brunch. Our server managed to get something for husband that was on the regular lunch menu. We were 4 pals getting together for the 1st time, in a long while, and she was very understanding that we were busier gabbing than looking at menus and then eating. Nice place.

We got seated at tables across from the kitchen and thoroughly enjoyed it. Quieter, more private and you get to see all the dishes before ordering! Our server was delightful and very attentive. Everyone loved their chosen starters and entrees!
