    I have gone to Nookie's Soul Kitchen on four separate occasions and was pleasantly surprised by how…read moregreat the food were each time. This is on top of my list of favourite spots to dine at in the downtown core of Port Hope. I have gone for both brunch and dinner here. Service has been excellent on the first visit. My friend ordered a seafood linguini and I ordered a stuffed Yorkshire - (a stuffed Yorkshire with slices of roast beef smothered with gravy, with mashed potatoes and vegetables on the side). It was excellent. Portions are enormous - everything can honestly be shared. The second visit was during dinner. After a few minutes of debating what to order, I decided to go for the supreme chicken Marsala. The chicken breast was stuffed with spinach, goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes - with a creamy Marsala mushroom wine sauce smothered all over. I enjoyed the dish, but was a little thrown off with the tomatoes, and found the mashed potatoes to be too salty this time. I was the only customer dining in that night, and the bartender was pleasant, although she was talking on the phone while working. I understand it wasn't busy, and it could be with management, but regardless, it is unprofessional to make calls while customers are present. The third and fourth visit - service and food were excellent. This is definitely a great spot to go to with a big group of friends (or by yourself). The lobster lover dish is amazing, especially paired with calamari for appetizers. Tuesdays an excellent day to visit Nookie's - their 8oz steak is their special for the day. It does not disappoint!

    So I looked through the reviews of Hobarts.... most were good, some were not so good but we needed…read moreto give it its day in court...... Hobarts did not disappoint. Starting with the cocktails they nailed it. I have had martinis at countless restaurants (perhaps I am a lush) and their vodka martini was perfect - I mean like I make them at home. Then came the appetizer that my mother in law ordered.... cheese fritters- they were breaded mac and cheese bombs with a honey mustard dipping sauce that was to die for- no word of a lie. Next was the main.... I had a 10 oz. ribeye that wasn't 10 ounces.... it was more like 15 ounces- it was huge but it was cooked perfectly medium rare and perfectly seasoned - this wasn't just good, this was Montreal good... amazing food all around. But I think the service was the kicker.... our servers took the time to talk to us, explain the menu, ask people what they liked and were simply wonderful... I wish all restaurants had staff like this. Bottom line - if you're in this part of Ontario, go to Hobarts..... you will be blown away.

    Service was excellent and the food was pretty good. .we ordered the chateau briand for two the…read moresmall roast being the best part of the meal So why the 3 stars . Well the appitizers were very disappointing . We ordered escargot in mushroom caps and a loaf bread. Yes.. we ordered bread. It's not part of the $80.00 dinner for two. At $9.00 it was less than spectacular . The mushrooms were old and tasteless. White on the bottom as if they had been sitting in a liquid far too long . The salad also an extra was tiny leaving us thinking that they may have run out of lettuce . Small brown tips on the romaine was a dead give away. The atmosphere and service was excellent . We will go back and give it another shot. Let's hope it's better .

    Oh how the mighty have fallen! I remember when this restaurant was opened by "Alex" and it was…read morefantastic. I knew Alex by mutual acquaintance and growing up in the same small town. He was a professional restaurateur who was paid to sit with celebrities at the posh places he worked in South Florida in the 70s. Whatever else is said, the man had high standards in food and dining experience. When he opened, and for years after the place was always packed and very popular. The food was high quality and your meal came with 2 sides, salad, hot bread and nice presentation at a reasonable price. Alex left the business several years ago and the current owner has run it for some time. Today was my first time back in several years. The outside looks dated and needs a refresh. I almost thought it was closed. It was 2:30pm on Saturday before Mother's Day and almost empty. I don't recall it ever not being full of people waiting at the bar for a table. Until today. The decor is ok although I don't care for the fringe lamps directly over your head. I was going to get ribs but decided on 10 oz prime rib ($32.00) comes with 1 side (I chose baked potato - only sour cream and butter is offered). No salad unless you pay extra! The warm bread was fine with two kinds of butter. My companion had the Kids spaghetti $(8.99). My prime rib came out and it looked about half the normal thickness it should be and in a puddle of juice. Even the server commented about why the kitchen did that. And it was warm, at best. No horseradish or other condiments were offered. No garnish on the plate. Just a thin slab of meat. The juice should have been in a separate cup. But the small baked potato was steaming hot! My companion had a giant pile of spaghetti with about a 1/4 cup of sauce on top! Too little for the mound of spaghetti. And it looked like cheap jar sauce and no meatballs. She didn't mind but I wasn't thrilled. And her fountain drink did not come with the meal ($3.99)! I had a lavender lemon drop martini that was ok. ($10). Ultimately the food is mediocre and it feels like they are cutting corners to keep prices down. But that means it's no longer the special place it used to be. Sad.

    My sister and I took our mom out to dinner and picked this spot since it's closer to her than us…read more None of us had been before, so we were going in blind. When we walked in, another customer was raving about the food and telling us how much we'd enjoy it, which honestly made me feel a lot better about trying somewhere new in an unfamiliar area. The vibe is like a bar turned restaurant, dark and a little moody but not off-putting. My mom even got a cutesy leprechaun margarita, which made her smile. We started with 10 mild wings for the table, my sister got a Caesar salad and said the dressing tasted homemade, and this is where I tried French onion soup for the first time. It was okay, just really salty. My mom ended up finishing it, but I did like that the cheese layer wasn't too heavy. I'm still on the hunt for a French onion that really does it for me. I didn't get pictures of the mains, but my mom and I both got steak, I had mashed potatoes and she got a baked potato. My sister got the fettuccine alfredo and marveled at the flavor. She kept saying you can tell it's a local spot and not a chain just by the care put into it. My steak was good, nothing crazy but you really can't go wrong. The mashed potatoes were a little bland but still edible. My mom loved her meal and finished everything, while my sister and I both had leftovers. The only downside was the service. Our waitress wasn't very friendly, kind of impatient and a little passive aggressive, like we were bothering her just by being there. Given the lack of diversity in the area, it didn't completely surprise me, but it was still noticeable. We didn't let it ruin the night though. Overall we still enjoyed it and I'd go back if I'm ever in Batavia again. Reasonable prices, solid food. Taking everything into account, I'd give it a 6.9/10.
