I usually don't white wine outside of summer, but I ended up getting two glasses of a fruity floral one. I was torn between the sparkling pink or the sparkling white, and I usually go for the pink. But they highly recommended the white, and it was *incredible*. A french sparkling white but not champagne, it was the Domaine de Facteur 'La Bulle de Facteur' 2023, the notes said "green apple, florals and honey, a hint of lychee, and plenty of minerality". My mouth waters just thinking of it. We also tried a little charcuterie meat and cheese board of sorts, but honestly, they weren't amazing. Pricey for what you get and nothing really notable. I feel like this spot is better pre or post meal. Drinks and vibe were 100, so I'll be back later for that wine.

I am a sucker for a good cocktail bar. The fact they offer bao buns was enough for us to stop in…read more The baos come in mushroom or duck, in a flight of 3. We ordered the duck. All you could taste was the hoisin. So sweet it buried the duck and the pickled vegetables. Why was it garnished with random lettuce? Who knows? The heavy-handed hoisin was bad, but the buns' lack of fluffiness was downright depressing. The cocktails were a blast. The one mocktail was a hit. The tiki-themed Portal, served in a poisoned-apple mug, was fun. The espresso martini was the highlight of the night. I could have used 40oz of it. Recommend the drinks. Skip the bao.

We ordered the mussels, which came with shrimp, in a tomato based broth. Seafood was fresh and tasty. We also ordered a side or grilled veggies, which were similarly tasty.

And the wine was also tasty. Next time I'll try a cocktail! The service was great. We started with the sourdough (which came out hot from the oven), butter, and grilled winter pesto. The pesto was smoky and hearty. The butter also had a wonderful flavor. We also had lamb pasta with olives and anchovies, pork collar, and smoked carrots with feta and dill. Amazing flavors with those dishes as well. Then we finishes with the blood orange tartlet and sourdough sundae. The mix of flavors in the sourdough sundae was incredible. One of my favorite desserts that I've had in a long time! I already look forward to returning. Their menu changes regularly, so maybe there will be some new items to try next time.

I would recommend the swordfish, which was fresh and tender, and the pork collar, which was well executed and came with rich creamed kale. The lamb pasta was too inventive and not as cohesive, as it had fennel seeds and anchovies.

I was visiting family who live in the area, and they took me to Yarn Farm Kingston. Wow, what a fun…read moresurprise! The whole concept is so unique--beautiful yarns and accessories, a great selection of wine, and really delicious food all in one cozy, welcoming space. It's such an unexpected combination, but it works so well. Whether you're there to create, have a glass of wine, grab a bite to eat, or just hang out, it's the kind of place you don't want to leave! Jocelyn & Todd (the greatest bartender ever) couldn't have been nicer. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and there was such a great community vibe. It felt like a place where regulars gather, but newcomers are made to feel right at home. If you're anywhere near Kingston, definitely stop in. It's one of those special places that's creative, relaxing, and full of genuinely good people. I can't wait to visit again the next time I'm in town!

I came here a few weekends ago as I was staying in the area, and it was super cute!…read more If you love indie bookstores with the ability to buy coffee, pastries or wine, then you have found your spot! They had a good amount of seating (including both in the coffee area as well as surrounding the books). The service was friendly and they had a really good variety of books to choose from. I'd come here all the time if I lived close by.

I have so many good things to say, where do I even start?!…read more First of all, this book and bar spot is absolutely beautiful. It's located on such a charming street, and stepping inside felt like walking into an elevated Barnes & Noble straight out of a Harry Potter movie. There are endless shelves of books across every genre, cozy seating throughout, and the perfect atmosphere to spend hours browsing or reading. The coffee was just as wonderful as the space. I wasn't sure what to order, so the barista recommended a drink and was incredibly accommodating with my many requests. I can't have too much milk or syrup, so I basically gave them a complicated custom order, and they made it exactly to my liking without hesitation. I also ended up buying one of the chocolate bars they had at the counter and turns out it was $20!!!! As a tourist, I had no idea it was a well known local chocolate brand with a factory nearby, so that was a fun surprise. This is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down. I'd love to come back, grab a coffee, spend the entire afternoon reading, and just soak in the comforting smell of books and fresh coffee. Such a cozy, magical spot that's well worth visiting!

The bartender here is in her zone, she definitely knows what shes doing&runs her space like a boss!!!! We sat at the bar for a few drinks before being seated. The young lady (hostess) who we encountered for seating was the only who rubbed me the wrong way..no smiles, all business.."do u have a reservation " NO, & she just wasnt on her game I guess(Olivia?) But in comes Dan, our server, what a gem! Our food was great, my friend really enjoys his short ribs cavatelli, my husband ordered the half jerk chicken & didnt even leave a crumb! I had the maple glazed Salmon, and it delivered mouth watering goodness with just enough sweetness from the maple but not overpowering. Way to go guys, now I know to make this a staple in my after work rounds.

They have a lot of seating and a good menu price range. My favorite thing about the menu is that they have duck fat fries! If you never had your French fries fried in duck fat then you are missing out!!! Now I wish I could give them 3.5 stars. I highly raved about this place but the last time I came it was such a disappointment. Our waitress though very friendly was not very attentive. We couldn't find her when we needed things and when we asked for things she didn't bring them. Now I'm sure she was busy and we never complained but that mixed with the fact that our food was just alright made me drop it a few stars. Also the cleanliness of the restaurant wasn't the best, including the glassware. Now to be fair every other time I have come the food was fantastic. I typically always get the general tso fried chicken sandwich and I love it. So maybe it was an off day we all have those. I will go back again and see if they redeem themselves! Also I just want to make mention the sandwiches do not come with duck fat fries you have to specifically ask for them to be the duck fat ones.

We also shared the roasted cauliflower, a nice counterpoint to the salad. For mains, my partner had the steelhead trout, over Swiss chard and rice grits - it had a nice pink tone and was very flavorful. I had the short rib massaman, which was fantastic. Delicious shreds of spare rib in a spicy peanut sauce, served over papparadelle - wow, this was great. It reminds me of a ragu I've had at Portale in NYC, but with a strong Thai inflection. It's my favorite dish yet at Eliza. This is a bit of a journey for us, but always worth it. I'm really looking forward to where the Eliza team goes next with their menu.

Both the short rib and trout were tender, and I'd order them again!
