We visited for Easter Sunday Brunch and were thoroughly disappointed. This is a rare negative review for me, as I prefer to provide feedback in person. However, three out of five of us experienced severe food poisoning.The cleanliness of the restaurant left much to be desired. Water glasses had a strange smell, and the coffee mugs were stained with lipstick.The service, while friendly, did not meet the high standards the restaurant claims to uphold. Staff seemed untrained, which was surprising for an establishment that markets itself as high-end.In terms of value, we paid $98 per person, including taxes and tip. For this price, we expected a much better experience. The food quality was poor, lacking both creativity and flavor.Overall, our experience fell short of expectations, and we would not recommend dining here.

After much thought and many visits to different venues we chose Next for our daughters wedding. From the moment we walked in to meet with Jillian we were impressed with the level of professionalism and caring that we received and decided that we had found our venue!It was a small wedding of just under 50 people but it looked spectacular, Jillian was so kind and helpful with every little detail which made the experience so much less stressful.The food was amazing and guests commented that they had never had such amazing food at a wedding. The serving staff were so courteous and efficient and no one was waiting on their meal.A few guests had allergies and Jillian let us know that the kitchen would have no problem accommodating them.If looking to book a beautiful elegant wedding with lots of room for dinner and dancing then Next is the place to go.Jillian made the experience amazing and we could not have been happier. Her attention to detail was amazing and she is so kind and knowledgeable about every detail!Truly was a magical evening!!! Thank you so much
Did the 9 course sharing menu and was very impressed with the amount of food and diversity that was provided.Dietary restrictions: Did a very nice job of providing alternatives for a couple gluten and dairy free friends at our table.
Upon arrival, we were seated along the north-east wall. Although there were many tables-for-two open when we arrived, we were squished between two other occupied tables with a shared wall bench. When I asked about the bookings for the evening and mentioned my unhappiness with being "sardined", the person seating us said they expected a full house and walked away. This set the tone for the meal. Our intention was to enjoy the table d'hôte but we decided at that point to just select an entree and leave as soon as possible. Table service was fine. The crispy duck leg confit was beyond crispy, it was dry and portioned small, even for duck. Flavour was good but needed to be less dry in my opinion. The braised lamb shank was amazing, perfectly prepared and portioned perfectly for sharing. Presentation was artistic and the accompanying sides for both dishes were outstanding. Separate sauces and grainy mustard were lovely touches.This was our first time at NeXT. There appeared to be several seating areas. I will ask to be seated in the solarium next time (south), as our location by the wall at the north-east lacked warmth (ambiance, not temperature). Our seating was 6:15 PM. As the sun went down, the restaurant area got darker and darker but, because of a warehouse feel, was too dark even with the table candle. When we were leaving, we noted there were still tables open that I feel would have been more appropriate for us. We could not have a private conversation as it was like our dining neighbours were sitting at the table with us. Maybe because of the long wall bench, this is an area designed for families with small children or large groups where tables are joined?In summary, good to excellent food with solid presentation, price point for quality was acceptable, service was fine, atmosphere was modern industrial where we were seated. Bathrooms were clean, ample parking.

My family and I have been here many times. I have never been disappointed. My two favourite servers are Dale and Barb - they always make the experience welcoming. Friendly but not "too" familiar. They are pros.The food is always terrific. Chef and his team has it dialed in.The Tuna pizza is phenomenal. The crispy confit - fantastic. Ribeye....can never go wrong.

This is a review of the NeXT take out. We ordered the “Just The Two Of Us” special of 7 dishes to share for a very reasonable $87.00 (plus add tax and gratuity). It was fabulous.Truly fine dining with a host of flavours, colours and textures. I am a pretty good cook but this was way above my skill level. It was lots of food for two and in fact we will make another whole meal out of our left overs. We will be back.
