Not impressed by first visit…read more Went with a group of 9 for lunch. We had a reservation. We were not the only group, but I believe, the largest. One server in the entire restaurant, and he was also the bartender. Too much for only one person to be able to manage. By the time half of us were able to place our drink orders, the other half had already ordered and been served their drinks. Caesars were mostly ice, with very little "Caesar". Two of us were excited to order liver, bacon, and onions as we rarely see it on menus. Plates arrived with liver, (garlic?) mashed potatoes, one piece of broccoli, one piece of cauliflower, and extremely undercooked carrots that neither of us could eat as they were so hard. There was only a very passing acquantance with onions, with only a couple of visible bits of onion in the gravy on my plate. Both plates were delivered with steak knives. My slices were very thin and extremely tough. When you can barely manage to cut through a thin piece of liver with a steak knife, that's a problem. The woman beside me, who had also ordered liver, thoughly enjoyed hers, and said it was tender and delicious. I will agree with "delicious", as I couldn't fault the flavour. Mine, however, was far from being tender. I had to fight to cut through it, even with the steak knife. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal. Not sure I would try Railside again if ever in the area.

We were in for a very early lunch on a Thursday, so it was fairly empty and we had our pick of seats. They have outdoor seating, but we opted for indoors just to avoid the heat wave. The interior is decorated really beautifully. Super cute and cozy. We ordered the pierogis with cheese and the cabbage rolls. It was the most comforting food. The pierogis were soft, with a lovely, homemade dough wrapping. It was topped with some caramelized onions that paired perfectly with the refreshing sour cream. The cabbage rolls were amazing. It tastes like something you grew up with - just a warm memory. Delicious tomato sauce, lovely cabbage wrap with a nice light filling. The rice and pork were seasoned so perfectly. With the dollop of sour cream on top, it was perfect. I would 100% want to come back again next time we drive through Port Hope. I am just craving the cabbage rolls so much! Highly recommend!!

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!

We ordered the strawberry cheesecake, which had large pieces of cake embedded within the cheese cake, served with a fruit compote, and topped with white chocolate, of course this hits the spot for your sweet cravings. We also had the New York style strawberry topped cheesecake, nice but a little eggie for me. The dreamers cookie tastes a little different from what I remember, the caramel is a little more runny than before, but the flavours were on point! Would definitely travel the two hours to get this again. We had a beautiful view of the town sitting on this elevated private area of the cafe with my girl friends. This take truly is a delight, and I hope I don't have to wait another two years to visit again!

They sell their coffee at the farmers market, fresh. Go for the coffee, not the gelato.
