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.

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 .

We were not disappointed. 1/2 lb of haddock in a crispy beer batter, excellent chips, both worthy of malt vinegar and salt. In addition, the dinner version includes an excellent caesar salad.

Had their 2 piece halibut and requested the poutine as the side. Halibut was good. A little greasy but we went right at noon when it was opening. Still the batter was light and crispy and the poutine was melty, gooey with plenty of gravy. No issues when asking for plenty of tartar sauce.

Was passing through Lindsay and was walking on Kent street looking for food. Thought I would stop…read morein for a nice dinner. So glad I did. Next time I will know to book a reservation (because they are busy and for good reason). Luckily the amazing staff found us room at the bar to eat. The staff is so good at this place, everyone pitching in and working hard. Place is very good looking, dark decor which makes for a nice dinner ambiance. Now on to the food . We ordered the 2 specials. First was an appetizer, it was zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta, covered in a spiced tomato sauce and delicious cheese. Sauce was so good we asked for some bread , which the waiter informed us is also made in house. For our main, we got the duck 2 ways breast braised and thinly cut, and then the quarter leg with a nice crispy skin. Vegetables were a locally sources rapini. Other main we had was one the waiter said was a popular one, which was a mushroom lasagna. That was really good, but be prepared this dish is very heavy. Really good value though and delicious. We couldn't not have dessert even though we were stuffed. The waiter recommended the apricot dessert which has a rum reduction, caramel and vanilla ice cream. This was delicious as well. Since we were sitting at the bar we watched all the care the bartenders put into their drinks. We got a mocktail and we got one of the specialty drinks. Presentation is nice and some of the drinks coming out of there . This place changes their menu frequently, creating beautiful dishes depending on what is in season. Great restaurant, which supports local and has great customer relations. We had a great experience and would definitely go and enjoy again

You can tell it was reheated and hence the outside is dry and the fat content on the inside is no longer there.
