Apps, pizzas and some wine before the theatre on a Saturday night. Food was very good, server was a very nice woman who was skilled at looking after her customers. Nice little dining area, lots of space between tables and quiet enough to chat with table mates. Great value and recommended. Only 8 tables so reservation is probably a good idea.

Our balanced menu created by Executive Chef Justin Daniel Tse takes its cues from the seasons, marrying global influences with intentional, locally-sourced ingredients that highlight the flavours of the County.

Went to Wander for New Years Day Brunch. Everything was amazing, from complimentary sparkling to the specials, we had the lobster Benny and the braised short rib hash. Sometimes pouches eggs are hit or miss, they made them perfectly! We will definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

The service we received was excellent! Michelle connected well with us and made us feel right at home (ask her for conversation starters! 😉). Kudos to the pleasant and knowledgeable staff; she was able to make excellent wine recommendations. I had some feedback about the food, which she indicated she would be sure to tell the kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

Vic Social is Prince Edward County's newest social hot spot, with a focus on delicious food with a fun flare, and scrumptious cocktails all in a playful atmosphere. Known for delicious signature breakfast options like Corn Flake Crusted French Toast, and mains like our famous Vic Burger, Peanut Butter & Kevin Bacon Burger, Lobster Roll and Triple Pickle Pickerel.

Our upscale diner has a fun 80's / 90's theme and is perfectly suited for day-time dining indoors, or on either of our two patios with a 60" TV, arcade games, Foosball, and outdoor games. In the evening our venue transitions into a warm and cozy dining lounge with our dance floor and DJ playing classic dance tunes every weekend.

We're just a short walk from the Royal Hotel and a quick drive to some of the best PEC wineries, breweries and cideries.

We had a great dinner at Kelsey's and had a great server! It was very busy, but our server was friendly and efficient. We received a great table that matched exactly the request I had submitted. The food was great and came out very fast, especially given how busy the restaurant was. I would recommend this Kelsey's location.

Tables by the window too close to each other. I could hear everything plus my chair bumped into the person sitting behind me hen we left.

We celebrated my husband's January 1st birthday here last week, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The staff were amazing, promptly answering all my questions via email and accommodating our large party of 20 people with ease. The cake, made in-house, was both stunning and absolutely delicious—a true showstopper that everyone loved. We also lucked out with the festive NYE balloons still decorating the space, which made the atmosphere feel like it was perfectly set up for my husband’s special day. Thank you, Electric Kitchen, for making the planning process so seamless and ensuring the event was such a success. This was a celebration to remember!
