Review Bistro Stefan - Kingston

Soup and salad were great as was the dessert. Unfortunately the stuffing was very dry and had little taste. The turkey was generous portion. Gravy was good we asked for extra and it was given at no charge. Vegetables were also good nicely al dente. Service was good. Found it a little strange that the utensils and glassware were mismatched for the preliminary course. The wine glasses and utensils for the main meal did match.

Actually we were next door at tom's place the pub area. The ambiance is intimate especially with the log fire going. Joanne was fantastic met up with a friend from school and stayed for a few hrs. We had the smoked meat and ceasar salad and the smoked salmon on a bagel. Both were ample portions and the salad was the best! The apple martini was delicious. This place fills up quickly between 430-6 for after work so keep that in mind or patrons from the hotel. Have eaten in bistro Stephan before the prime rib is recommended.

Filet Mignon was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the Tagliatelle pasta was al dente and delicious. Service was great, already thinking about my next visit.

Breakfast that came with my hotel (best western fireside inn) attached was not good. The potatoes weren't cooked, the eggs weren't even egg but I think powdered egg and very dry. There was no toast. No gluten free items. Yogurt was watery, no flavor ( should have been in seperate containers not from a machine like water ) Beans were the dregs of some long forgotten slop left over from World War 2. Don't even touch the water it was foul. ( no idea what they did wrong there but it was like sewer water) I thought we were the only ones who had a problem but we found in the hallway on a cart (room service) on our way back to our room, people who had left their breakfast outside. Low and behold what had they not touched? Potatoes and egg. Second day the potatoes were cooked but swimming in oil. Egg was the same. I know companies are trying to cut corners and such but seriously, if you were to serve up a good breakfast i would give you a glowing review. It's time to up your game as serving up this in the morning is not good for business. All it takes is a little care. No one is expecting bells and whistles here but attention to detail. The fireside inn says the breakfast is free but we all know its not, its included in the overpriced hotel.

I like trying new things. I never had Wild Bore before. So last night supper I had Wild Game Trio. It was very delicious and the wine that the server suggested went very well with the meal. I what to say to the chef and the kitchen staff and the server thank you 4 the nice experience I had last night.

Ordered the filet, was the best cut of meat I have had out In Kingston , Our server Bruce was delightful and made it a perfect night

Nice dinner, perfect atmosphere, food quality is good but lacks the flavor Service is amazing.

Before going there we thought we would be having a great experience. The food is undoubtedly tasty. However, the portions size are really small when compared to the prices. The service is not that great. My husband and I were treated as if they wanted us to be out of there as soon as possible, even though we spent a lot of money there. So the price/benefit doesn't really match the experience, which is unfortunate.
