A great place to eat and drink with a great view of the St. Lawrence River and islands…read more Donnelly's On The River is a casual riverfront restaurant and bar located next to the Ivy Lea 1 Hour Cruise dock overlooking the St. Lawrence River and islands. The place has an indoor dining room, bar area and outside patio seating overlooking the river.  I stopped by for a late lunch recently on a sunny day. I headed to the patio where I decided to take in the riverfront views. I was given the light fare food menu which offers traditional Canadian pub fare including appetizers, wings, soups, salads, burgers, sandwiches, fish & chips, and pizzas. I got an ice water and decided on the Maritime Lobster Wrap ($19.95) served with fries and cole slaw, which was served to my table in under 10 minutes. The lobster wrap (cut in halves) was a good size with lettuce, shredded cheese, carrots, and a dense mix of shredded lobster meat in a mayo dressing. The fresh cut fries were firm and hot. The cole slaw (shredded cabbage, carrot, red cabbage) were crisp and creamy. After I was done, I was promptly given the check which came out to $22.54 CAD before tip or $17.11 USD before tip. Overall, a good choice for lunch on a very nice day. I watched several boats pass by as I ate my lunch.

The restaurant was not surprisingly empty as it was shoulder season and it was at 11am. I had a cup of seafood chowder, since I didn't want to just order a coke. The chowder was decent. The ingredients were good, but the soup itself was a bit bland. I didn't expect much from a seaside pub in rural Ontario to be honest though. Service was great, no complaints at all. I imagine their entrees are better looking at the few reviews.

Call ahead or stop in to order takeout. Food is prepared fairly quickly. Their desserts always look so tempting (especially the chocolate suicide cake).

What I've always loved about Mino's is the friendly staff, the take out service, and gawking at the dessert display when you walk in. I'm happy to say those all feel the same. Service is great; we had a fun banter going with our waiter, and the atmosphere is really nice. Music choices were less Greek, more Caribbean, but hey, I'm not complaining! I will say that I love the greek salad dressing (it's pink!?), and although it's simple, they do a good greek salad. My table all ordered Chicken Soluvaki plates, so I'm unable to comment on any of the other dishes they serve. Although it was tasty, I don't know that I'd order it again. Very salty, and I was surprised to find gravy on the plate - I've never experienced that in a greek restaurant before.

We were seated immediately and our waitress came over within a few minutes. We ordered a bottle of sparkling rosé from the menu, but unfortunately they didn't have that one. The waitress was kind enough to offer us a different rosé, but we decided to go for a prosecco instead. Our only complaint is that we didn't get an ice bucket or any way to keep it cool when it was so hot and sunny outside on the patio. Regardless, we enjoyed it. My husband had the Mexican hot wings, which had a dry rub. They were crispy and very tasty with a little bit of heat. I had the chipotle bbq wings, which had a sauce and were very juicy and tasty with a little heat also. We both really enjoyed them. The waitress was very friendly and service was good. We would return the next time we're in Kingston.

After 10 years, we're finally back to Olivea's and so relieved to find it's still thriving! I've…read morequite literally been craving the fried calimari for years now with those fried capers and lemons. So excited to see it was still there on the menu. We made a reservation a few days ahead just incase. We were only going to be in town for a day and had no ideas if it would be busy. Given we were here for a weekend, we figured it's safest to put in a reservation. I ordered an Orange Grove (non-alcoholic) which has Juniper gin, Bella Aperitif, orange & lemon juice and infused Mighty Leaf Ginger Twist tea syrup. It was so refreshing and delightful! Absolutely gorgeous flavour that tastes like really fresh clementine juice. We got a dozen East Coast oysters to enjoy. Each were beautifully plump, fresh, and a lovely flavour. The accompanying classic shallot mignonette and horseradish were fantastic. For mains, I actually ordered the fritto misto di mare appetizer. It has fried shrimp, scallops, calamari, lemon and caper berries with caper-tarragon aïoli. I don't know if you're meant to eat the lemons and carpers too but I did and it was so delicious. Please never take this off the menu. My partner ordered the gnocchi with beef cheek ragù, truffle and parmesan. Gnocchi were huge and a lovely texture. Delicious ragu that felt very comforting. I'm excited to be back on our next Kingston visit!

The place has lots of seats inside, we did make a reservation an hour ahead because of our big party. They accommodated us right away, service is also great, two waitresses attended to us and they were polite & funny. Food was really good but other members of my family didn't really enjoy theirs, the salmon was okay and the sauce for the lobster & shrimp pasta was kind of bland. I got the garlic shrimp linguine and loved it. Flavour was great, I always order it. I would come here again if I'm in town. Rating: 3.8/5

Never been to a Red Lobster before but kind of know what to expect from a large chain restaurant…read more Everything was pretty much standard I feel. Atmosphere is spacious, cabin-like and comfortable. Staff do the standard vaccination check and contact tracing procedures before being seated. Service is really good as I'd expect and our server was constantly checking in on us throughout the meal which was solid. Came here for the Endless Shrimp promotion going on for $23.99 on Monday-Thursday and goes up to $29.99 Friday-Sunday. For 23.99 I think the price is pretty good for what you get. There's 5 varieties of shrimp on offer here but the highlights for me were the crispy thai and the grilled skewer. Don't recall how many orders I did but they definitely do not make you wait for ordering more shrimp. Our server kept coming back asking what our next shrimp order was going to be. The shrimp isn't anything amazing but it's just pretty good overall. You only get 1 side for all of this which is a bit disappointing as I stopped ordering more shrimp because I was getting a tad bored of just stuffing my face with shrimp and nothing else lol. Not sure about any of their other offerings but endless shrimp promotion is actually not a bad value play and does the job.

The chef used to be the chef at the now-close Aroma restaurant in Kingston and he's brought the skill and imagination he showed there with him. You might not expect much from a marina restaurant, but try the lobster ravioli and you'll be impressed. I was expecting typical raviolis with a smidgin of lobster in them. What I got was raviolis made from homemade(?) black and white striped pasta, with a generous amount of lobster in each, topped with a split lobster tail. This was all served with a tasty cream sauce. The fish and chips are also really good, and so is the chicken panini. The building is pretty unassuming, but it's right by the harbor so the views are great and there's outdoor seating when the weather's warm.
