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. Next time we would love to try the cocktails. Only gripe is sound travels in this restaurant and the table next to us was so loud. Otherwise, a lovely evening.

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 stopped by The Cornell for Sunday brunch with the family and left feeling like we'd definitely…read morecome back--especially for the atmosphere. The setting is easily the highlight. The restaurant is housed in a beautifully renovated industrial-style merchant building right on the Kingston waterfront, and if you can grab outdoor seating, it's a great place to relax while watching the boats come and go. It's also kid-friendly, which made brunch with the family easy and enjoyable. Instead of ordering entrees, we decided to work our way through the appetizer menu. The standouts were the lobster and trout dip (our favorite of the meal), the root beer based wings, and the fresh oysters. Everything else was fine--good quality, but nothing that completely blew us away. One thing that really caught our attention was the Sunday all-you-can-eat-and-drink brunch. It had a lively crowd, an outdoor DJ, and looked like people were having a fantastic time. However, we were never offered and found it too late to inquire after ordering from the menu already. Overall, The Cornell is worth checking out for the waterfront location, relaxed atmosphere, and fun brunch scene. While the food didn't quite match the setting, it was still a very enjoyable family outing, and the few standout dishes make it worth a return visit.

Holy cow. About as bad an experience as I've had in my life. Truly awful. Our tour group took us…read morehere as part of our day trip. It was a buffet-style meal, which was 'ok'. But the truly beyond-horrible service made this an absolutely dreadful experience. The first thing the waitress did was take our drink orders. The person before me orders a Coke, and she says they have Pepsi products. So he orders a Pepsi. I order a Mountain Dew (a Pepsi product), and she says she doesn't know if they have it. How do you not know if they have it? But, to keep things moving and easier, I just get a Pepsi. The rest of the table orders their drinks and waits. And waits, and waits. 45 minutes later people had eaten their food, and everyone at the table is still waiting for their drinks. Two different waitresses said 3 different times the waitress says, "it's coming". I finally got fed up and left before our time was completely done because I was on the verge of saying something that probably would've gotten me arrested. Talking to people outside after, apparently, the drinks did finally come after getting a 3rd waitress and an additional 15 minutes. And they were watered down.

First, the prices are excellent. A few drinks $10, and they're strong and tasty. I happened to luck out and it was also a Diego's taco pop-up night and I had some of their chicken tacos & beet tacos. I really missed those beet tacos!! I think the bar is super cute, cozy, dim. The staff is attentive and fun. Will be back soon!!

A solid dining experience with nice service and a good menu of items, with views of the water…read more While I wasn't blown away by the food, we enjoyed it (spinach and shrimp risotto special was tasty but could have been cooked a touch longer; steak, mashed potatoes and green beans had a good sauce but steak was a bit chewy; clams and linguini were as advertised and good; calamari was good and not too bready but was a bit pricey for the portion size). They also have a selection of other seafood, sandwiches, soups and salads. Entrees were around $25 per dish. Sandwiches and wraps under $20. No restaurant parking but municipal lot is close and side street parking available for those who look around. Service was attentive and friendly. I imagine the views are nice if you sit outside but in the cooler months it was only ok. Views of the "Severance" Bridge available too. Pretty close to some other shops on the waterfront.

We went just a couple of hours after Spain had won the world cup thinking that the atmosphere would be celebratory, but obviously there are no Spaniards working there, because they seemed oblivious.

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!

The ambiance, staff, patrons and drinks were lovely. We tried the Balkan Dancing night with MacNCheez and had a uniquely memorable and fun(rather silly, for us) evening; would definitely go back and recommended it to friends. (Pro Tip: Any type of dancing is a huge plus if you're trying to stay sane! Just go for it!) This place is an escape and a joy as we live through this dark, scary time in history. Sometimes, the fight-of-the-hour is to refuel with laughter and know that you're showing up for a terrific little business and band. Get off the couch tonight! Live an interesting life! (Full disclosure, at one point, there was an openly critical woman dancing next to me as I stumbled along but do I think this place is responsible for one grump's tacky behavior? Did I let her ruin my fun? Nope and nope. 95% of the people were awesome to me, it's just math).

The Caesar salad was fresh and flavorful- a balanced blend of savory cheese and cashews with zingy dressing and fresh lemon. The caps and stems pizza was in what I would call a Detroit-style thin crust.
