   We have an amazing view, the waitress and host were both awesome. The food was great and just the right amount. The downside….we waited just over an hour for our food. The restaurant was not overly busy and other tables that arrived after us were served. To top it off we had a reservation. That was the only hiccup To an otherwise good experience.

   Keep your money. It has great potential but just couldn't nail it down, based on previous reviews. Beautiful location and view. The barbecue station was tucked into the corner of the patio. Great smells of chicken and corn heightened the anticipation. Our reservation was for 6pm. Previous reviews indicate slow production from the kitchen so we placed our full order: Gin & Tonic and Vodka Martini Entrées- Duck Ravioli and Barbecue Country Chicken. 2 glasses of white wine to go with the meal. cocktails were served timely - Gin & Tonic tasted good. Unfortunately the vodka martini was watery. Around 8 minutes after we placed the order we were advised they ran out of Duck. Again, based Open Table reviews we prepared for alternates on the event of a challenge and immediately selected Waterside Pickerel. 30 minutes later with cocktails long gone. We asked when we should expect the meals We were told any moment now. 10 minutes later the plates arrived. Didn't look like the menu items at all. The chicken was sousvide and over cooked. They finish it on the barbecue but not properly so the skin was soggy. Mediocre flavour. The fish was luke warm and the potatoes were soggy and lacked flavour. The wine was absent. We didn't send it back as it was almost 7pm, we were hungry and would not be able to wait for the 2nd attempt to hit the table. We ate some, not all. We pushed the plates. About 5 minutes after we finished, the wine arrived. We sent the wine back, paid the bill and left. Server was very polite but looked somewhat conditioned to relay messages on delays and service failures. Had that look anticipating a difficult situation. We've been on the Frontline of dealing with Kitchen failures. We tip the server. Not his fault. We haven't been to AquaTerra but its walking distance from the Wharf and Feather. I'll go there next.

   An unusual location, but a great waterfront place for drinks or lunch.

   A hidden treasure on the waterfront. Rain foiled our plans for an al fresco dinner so we enjoyed very good food inside. Service recognized that we were visiting with people we had not seen in a while and left us to order on our own time without being rushed.

   All good but we paid and the ordered another drink. The waitress didn’t bother to clear our table. So we had our drinks on a messy table. Too bad as the service was good up til then

   First time here, we really wanted to love this restaurant. The ambience was lovely; on the water, live music. However, although well staffed, it took almost an hour to have our food orders taken. We had booked the table in advance for a friends birthday, and that was added when the reservation was booked ,which most other restaurants will bring a complimentary dessert etc - didn’t happen. As we were paying, our server overheard someone saying happy birthday, to which she asked if it was someone's birthday we were celebrating. Not a huge deal, just would’ve been a nice added touch, especially for a restaurant that has small portions with an expensive price tag. The whole evening just felt very unorganized. However, our server was still lovely, and the food / drinks were good, albeit expensive. Definitely won’t be back, but was worth a shot!

   We have been here many tines with reservations of 2 to 20 planning many gatherings with friends and family. Last night was utterly horrible. Our waitress MacKenzie was amazing and continuously apologizing for the late food, 2.5 hours late! When we received the brisket it was cold, although it was as hard as leather sitting somewhere, the half of a baked potato was dried up and the 2 inch piece of corn bread was sad. Never have I seen such a poor display of food. I have recommended this restaurant to so many and brought many friends and new clients moving to Kingston. I will not recommend again.

   They were very busy and clearly understaffed. The poor staff deserve a lot of praise, but with being understaffed the service was very slow.

   Loved it here. Food was great, service was excellent and the patio on the water was simply beautiful. Everyone loved their meal, from steak to prime rib, vegetarian burger, fish and chips, brie and turkey club (modified with lettuce buns instead of bread). The lemon pepper chicken wings are also amazing.

    We had such a lovely night on the patio listening to Frank Ryan who is an amazing local musician. I also enjoyed my burger and our server was very attentive and friendly. Overall the patio had a great vibe which was a perfect evening with friends
