We've been for cocktails, dinner, and brunch. Everything is amazing and some of the food is truly mind-blowing. The eggs benedict is phenomenal, highly recommend. We also got the croque madame and were stuffed - in a good way! The staff are so kind and energetic. The cocktails are unique and delicious. Honestly, no complaints!
Wow - what an experience! The food was so incredible. We travel all around the world eating great food, so we were happy to discover a local place. We've been here before, but this time was exceptional. The chef is even better than before.The service is also excellent - not snobby or neglectful. We don't drink alcohol, but the cocktail list looked super creative. Mike made our family two special non-alcoholic drinks that were amazing!Our two kids are 6 & 9 and they loved the food. They aren't your usual kids...they are picky, but only because they have a great pallet for high-quality and international foods.We loved EVERY SINGLE DISH - butter candle, fried olives, salmon cones, lamb sliders, duck bao, seaweed fries, ribeye steak, lasagna, and caesar saladThis is our family's go-to choice for dinner from now on! It's hard to find food that has such variety. Their tapas menu made it easy for us to eat family-style.This restaurant is for foodies, travelers, and people who appreciate good food from all around the world!

My wife and I came here on our visit to St. Catherine's during the winter holidays; located in downtown St. Catherine's, this restaurant is located in the first suite on the main floor. Their sign is hard to read at night in the photos, but is well designed with a nice logo. Being in downtown, parking may be hard to find; there is paid metered parking, but parking is free on the weekends and free after 6pm on weekdays.We were greeted by a staff member who was not wearing any uniform but in casual clothing. None of the staff had uniforms but looked very relaxed and welcoming. The atmosphere was very welcoming with little lighting but definitely enough to light up the place and to provide great ambiance. The staff were very friendly and even sparks conversations with customers. One thing our waiter pointed out was that they do not take tips/gratuities which was a bit different than what most North Americans are used to.My wife and I got fried olives, Thai popcorn, smoked salmon cones (comes in three), one duck bao, and one lamb slider. Out of what we ordered, I recommend the smoked salmon cones, duck bao, and lamb slider. The smoked salmon cones came in a bowl of black beans (not edible but decorative); the shells were delicate and broke easily when bites but tasted pretty good. The duck bao was a bit bigger than the lamb slider but both were fairly small. Even though they were small, they were very flavourful.Even though we didn't get a "main" dish, I find this place more fitting for casual get-togethers than a full meal. The digital menu is rather small, with the drink portion bigger than the food portion. Since the menu is so small, I think a well-designed physical menu might be more practical or appealing. Having said that, their prices are fair and the food is not too bad.Overall, I highly recommend giving this place a try. With the exceptional service and heart-warming atmosphere, this will definitely be a highlight to any trip made to St. Catherine's, whether if you are a local or from out of town.Vegetarian options: There are vegan options on the menuParking: Metered street parking in downtown St. Catherine's, but free on the weekends and after 6pm on the weekdays.

What a great find on a weekend out in wine country! Jake was our server and was so so kind, and had some great local recommendations for us to check out. The food from the kitchen and the drinks from the bar were so lovely - fun and engaging food that was interesting and filling! Cool takes on really nicely technically-executed dishes that were fun to share. Super cool that they’re a living wage employer, too. The value was shocking when we got the bill. Great job, Dispatch!

We (my two sons, one SO, and a family friend) met here to celebrate a couple of things and have a bit of a reunion. The ambience was exactly as pictured: lots of natural light, uncluttered and interesting decor. Staff approached us at the right times, on point, read the table perfectly, knew when and how to engage in banter. There was great variety on the brunch menu, especially for vegetarian/vegan options --adaptations of non-V items were also offered. Most of us struggled to chose between the top 2 or 3 things that looked really good. Plates were empty at the end. Our group included someone trained in the industry in Stratford, with years of experience in Stratford and Toronto who knows from the inside when staff are committed and skilled. Most of us don't live near St Catharine's: would return just to go back and try their dinner!
Came across Disbatch in St. Catharines over the weekend and ended up having dinner here. I must say, it was a fantastic find.The food and drinks were outstanding. They have a limited menu, but everything is geared towards a tapas-style dining experience. The standouts for us were the Caesar salad, hummus, and the chicken satay skewers. The Caesar salad was so incredible that my boyfriend and I joked about making the hour-and-a-half drive to St. Kitts just for it.The drinks were a great too! I tried the seasonal spritz, which was good but definitely packed a punch. My boyfriend had the wabi sabi and swears it's the best cocktail he's ever had. The bartenders really put time and attention into every drink, and you could tell they were true mixologists.The service was awesome, and the place wasn't too crowded. Really recommend for an elevated night out.

Found this place on Google. Went after a matinee at Shaw Festival and wanted to avoid the drive back to Toronto. This was absolute perfection. From the entry to the service to the food to the drinks to the dessert back to the drinks. I love food! I have never been so excited about discovering a new place and having such a fabulous experience. This restaurant and staff is so special, I don't want to divulge any further information because I wantt too make it special to just me and my friends. Go check it out you will understand why!Vegetarian options: The fries! Omg! The fries! CAN WE TALK!Dietary restrictions: I have a severe tree nut allergy. They ensured a that all my dishes were nut free. The chef came out and discussed the menu and told us of all the new dishes she was creating for the fall menu.Parking: Street parking Monday to Friday you pay till 6p.Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is on one level. It's perfection.
