I'm a huge fan of seafood. I've been all across Canada from west coast to east coast and various restaurants in between, but I've never had a seafood fettuccine as delicious as the one served at Buell's in Brockville. I hesitated to write a review the first time I ordered it, back in July, because I was sure it was too good to be true. But when I had it for a second time a couple months later and it was equally amazing I felt compelled to give culinary compliments to the chef. The portion size is excellent with big morsels of seafood and chunks of salmon and the sauce is the perfect quantity and consistency.

The seafood fettuccini, French onion soup, and baked Brie were delicious. The service was great.

We recently dined at Buell Street Bistro and had a fantastic time. We sat on the patio, which had a lovely atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed meal. Our server was incredible—attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious! What really stood out was the fact that they offer separate gluten-free and vegetarian menus. This was a huge plus for me, as I didn’t have to browse through items I couldn't eat. It made choosing a meal so much easier, and everything I tried was flavorful and fresh. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and service, especially if you have dietary restrictions!

This is a real gem of a restaurant in Brockville. It has a beautiful patio in the summer, great for a romantic dinner and an artsy, cozy restaurant inside. The service is kind, friendly, attentive and impeccable. The food is delicious, of very high quality and the presentation is fantastic. I have never tasted such good food that was that beautifully presented (I had the pesto salmon). The price is a bit on the higher side, but I found it well worth it for a special lunch or dinner. We will definitely be back. Very highly recommended.

Food was very enjoyable, and extremely well presented. Service staff were attentive and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was nice for our night out. Food was served colder than expected, and while good, altogether far too expensive for what was offered. Probably won't return unless someone else is paying for it.

This is an awesome place to dine, a real ‘hidden gem’! Our server Liz was excellent - helpful, friendly, efficient. We had the specials of the day and the dishes really popped! What stood out was the balance of flavours. Every bite was tasty, there was no getting bored as we ate. All of the dishes had a homemade feel with high quality ingredients. Comfortable and classy. Highly recommended!

Dinner items ordered on Friday: Stuffed chicken, Salmon, quiona bowl, Mediterranean salad and soup of the day. Taste- Absolutely delicious Service- Couldn't be more perfect Their patio is dog friendly and so vibrant. You can sit their in rain as well. My dog was offered treats and water. Servers were so patient and great. I will definitely visit this place again. 10 min walk from 1000 Island cruise and 7 min from Railway tunnel. Anyone looking for an experience must go there.

We had a delicious meal served beautifully while sitting on a small patio. The staff took pains to ensure no group was too close to another. The patio setting is intimate with a variety of gardens surrounding. The only distraction were a few small wasps that preferred my pork to my husbands seafood fettuccine! Parking: Right kitty corner from the Bistro. As it was a weekend night, we did not have to pay!

Amazing food . Amongst the best restaurants I have tried in my life. I have tried a few dishes and my wife has tried a few with seafood. They are all amazing . The location and atmosphere is also very enjoyable. This place has better food then some highly rated restaurants in Rome , Paris and Vienna that I have personally tried.

We just returned from a very nice Valentines Day dinner. The restaurant was really busy but the staff were friendly and pleasant. The food was really good. I had a Caesar salad and seafood fettuccine. The salad was perfect and the fettuccine was loaded with salmon and shrimp and scallops. My husband had lobster bisque and seared tuna. He really enjoyed them and half of mine. The portions were a good size. All in all a lovely time.

Service was great. Food was adequate, although should have been better considering the prices. Ordered the Seafood Thermidor and they were out of scallops that were supposed to be included in this meal. It was lacking considering I was very much looking forward to having this particular meal. Food was good, but I doubt I will return considering the expense of the place and lack of availability of what I actually wanted.

Just an incredible place. My family and I have come to dine here from Ottawa on several occasions now. It s well (well) worth the drive! Where do I even start with positive things to say!? 1. Amazing service: gracious, polite, attentive, and intuitive. Just wow. (Thank you, Liz!) 2. Extensive gluten free menu: I ve never come across such an elaborate GF menu not even in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, or any other big city. As someone with a severe gluten intolerance, I am very limited as to where I can dine out - most restaurants either don t provide GF options at all, and even if they do, they re careless and sloppy with it. I felt so included, cared for, and accommodated. Thank you. 3. Exceptional quality at such reasonable prices. In these inflationary times, Buell s is spot on in this arena. What a breath of fresh air! 4. Even when making a reservation months in advance for a special event, upon arrival, the staff knew exactly who we were and knew exactly the table we had requested and they had reserved it for us accordingly. Reliable! We WILL be back!

I always followed reviews to make a choice of restaurants. This one has very good reviews. Maybe that was the reason our expectations were to high Because the overall experience with the food was not good. The atmosphere and the service were great. Unfortunately, the food was too expensive and not that good. The stuffed chicken really wasn t stuffed (they served the wing portion of the chicken and we never saw the stuffed thing) The vegetables in the two plates that we ordered were almost the same and not that tasty. The pesto saumon was dry. ( I was expecting some flavour because , it is pesto, but It was not tasty ) Because I believe that reviews are important, I wanted to share my experience. Hope other clients are/were more lucky.

I was very disappointed...considering the restaurants are open again and its valentines it was horrible...my stir-fry with vegetables, shrimp and chicken was 95% rice...I had to send it back and have them add vegetables as per menu. All they added was a few cut up peppers. For $27..it was horrible...I did not eat it. My husbands meal did not say it was spicy...he ate it...there would be no way I could as I cant have spicy food.

Food, service and decor was good but very pricey! For example, the entrées are well over $30 and sometimes $40 so I assumed when the waitress asked me if I wanted fried onions as a side that they were included or at least under $4. Instead I get the bill and it s $7 just for the fried onion! One onion is only pennies and frying one is pretty cheap as well. I have been to expensive and fancy places before, including very recently, but I never had to spend over $50 per person (including a 15% tip plus GST) since we never order hard drinks or appetizers. Also desserts are all over $10 and all but one or two seemed to have raspberries which I m not a big fan of. As for simple requests from the waitress, she did what was asked but acted awkward about it, such as bringing the meal and the dessert at the same time, as we didn t want to miss the boat cruise departure. If money is no object to you, then by all means go here but if you re looking for a menu with more variety of price points, elsewhere is preferable.

Great gourmet food but totally disrespected. We had reservations so we were seated in a small room beside a birthday party table and another table of 3. The noise was deafening. The waitress was too busy with the birthday group and the other table to serve us, so we just sat there. When we did order the waitress disregarded everything we ordered except the main course. No salads, no water, no beverages. An hour and a half later after we finished our meal the waitress found time to bring us our beverages I told her to bring the bill we were leaving.

Ok, we stumbled across this place and let me say its by far deserves more than 5 stars. The food was amazing, I had the ontario pork tenderloin with a peach chutney with garlic mashed and a melody of veggies and it was to die for. My companions both had the Seafood Thermador which consisted of Shrimp, Scallops and Snapper with rice and veggies and they said it was one of the best meals theyve had. Everything was Top Notch. We tried the pumpkin Cheesecake and split it 3 ways because it was huge and it too was amazing. Our server Liam was an amazing young man who was very polite and he made sure we were looked after. I highly recommend going here for a bite to eat if your ever in Brockville, you wont be disappointed. See you again Buell..

Had eaten there once prior not long ago and enjoyed the meal. Food was good at that time. This time we both ordered New York striploin steaks. In short both were poor a cut of meat with mine more than half full of grissle and fat. Both were cooked properly and had it not been for the pepper sauce the meal would have been a complete disaster. At the end I mentioned it to our very attentive server. She forwarded the complaint to the owner. I was disappointed when the bill arrive to see no attempt to appease us. Not even a visit to the table by the owner to discuss our issue. We had not asked for a discount but I thought it appropriate. We will look further for a nice spot next time.

It was a milestone birthday celebration and Linda and her staff went out of their way to provide us with exceptional service and make the evening special. Highly recommend this establishment and looking forward to our next visit!

Just went today. Super nice place, good service, nice patio. Food was excellent. I reccomend the pesto salmon and the ontario pork dish. I reccomend to locals and visitors alike. Good idea to call ahead because they are pretty popular... and with good reason.

We love this place. Been coming here for about 3 years now. We arrange camping in the area to allow us to eat at the bistro once or twice during our stay. Chef/kitchen staff are amazing. Food is delicious. Flavours abound. Escargots are probably the best Ive ever had. Menu doesnt say what cheese is used but it aint mozzarella, I dont think. Never had a dish we didnt love. Well done guys.

Went here for a wedding rehearsal dinner a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, a car accident down the street severely damaged a hydro pole, which meant the power went out during our dinner. Despite the power outage, Buell Street Bistro staff didnt miss a beat. They continued to provide us with a delicious three course dinner, cooked exactly to my tables liking, all while romantically candlelit in the dark! Bravo to all of the serving, kitchen and management team, we were SO impressed with your professionalism and commitment to providing your guests a top notch dining experience.

I had a delicious New York steak. My wife had sea food fettuccine and was not so good . Pasta was tough, scallops were old tasting and tough. Salmon and shrimp were o.k. Lots of garlic in the dish.

My wife and I recently spent a couple of days in Brockville and had a wonderful dinner and evening at the Buell Street Bistro. We were fortunate to get reservations on the outdoor patio which has a very nice ambience. The food was all very, very good, caesar salad, escargot and provencal mussels. What impressed us most was the great service, an excellent server, all courses timed perfect and not rushed. Highly recommend! Bill & Robin Galbraith

The food here was fantastic and the service matched the food. The kebob special was amazing and so was the rest of the food. It is a bit pricey, but well worth the price. This didnt show up in our initial Google search, but if you find this place, go here. Id recommend everything we tried garlic shrimp, tomato soup, salmon, bread and crème brule. We didnt love the stuffed chicken, but it was okay.

1st-time, group of 5 from out of town. Everybody was delighted by the service and the food. We each had something different and it was all really excellent! At this quality of place though, most of us are used to seeing bread and oil/vinegar simply on the table rather than a starter to be ordered, even (or especially) at such a trivial price. Itd have been a delight just on the table when we sit down, or taken off the menu -- then I wouldnt even have noticed this quirk. Sincere thanks to the staff, front and back, for a really great evening! Will recommend.

So happy we went to the Buell Street Bistro. We have never been to Brockville and were looking for a restaurant that had a good selection for everyones needs. We ordered 5 different entrees. All 5 were perfect and absolutely delicious. The food arrived steaming hot and so flavorful. The restaurant itself is very well done. We wished the weather would have nicer as the terrace looked really pretty. Next time we are in town we will definitely be dinning there again.

We had been here before and had a good experience, tonight however was not it. Both our meals seemed extremely lack lustre. Very well presented and good quality ingredients, however very lacking in overall flavor unfortunately. I never add salt in a restaurant, and found myself doing so tonight just to taste something. Very odd. On the plus side, the service and drinks were excellent.

Food was good thankfully as it was quite pricey, but the actual dining experience was not great. We also got a seat with no lighting and was only illuminated by surrounding tables. There was candles on our table, but it was never lit, even after requesting. It also took about 90 minutes from the time we sat down to the time we got our food.

One of my all-time favorite restaurants to visit in Brockville for lunch or for dinner! I love the location of the Bistro, tucked away in the Court House district which is an easy walk from downtown Brockville. The food is amazing, with great vegetarian choices on the menu, and always eye pleasing too. A little pricey, but worth every bite! Very friendly staff who go out of their way to accommodate your special dietary needs.

Food and service were good. We enjoyed the atmosphere and prices were reasonable. I was however disappointed due to the fact they were out of tuna and mussels. I had called the day before to make a reservation for our anniversary and asked if the menu would be the same as posted and was told yes. We specifically came for those two items and were surprised when we learned they were out. Other than that everything was excellent.

It is a very nice place, however the food took a while to come out and when it did, it was pretty bland. We also ordered dessert (Creme Brulee) which was very runny underneath and the sugar crust was burnt. This was priced at $10 which was higher than most places Ive eaten at, even more than fancier restaurants in Toronto. Overall, for a small town, its a nice place. But Id say you can find better options in the larger cities.

While we were having a very nice dinner we watched the staff preparing a table in between guests and we were a little shocked to see that only the top of the table was wiped down, not the edge nor the chair arms. If their procedure is this poor where we were seated and eating, we wondered how well everything else was sanitized.

Went to the Buell street bistro Friday, July 24th. Have been several times in the past and we ve always enjoyed it. This time however, the service was a huge disappointment. We had a reservation, for two, ordered two rounds of drinks and two entrees. We had to ask for bread (although it wasn t listed on the menu). The server was not capable of bringing us water, even though she told us she would. All around us other servers were bringing their customers water. We were about half way through our meal before the server bothered to come ask us how everything was. And took a good 15 minutes before she took our plates away. From the view where I was sitting, it didn t look like she was that busy inside the restaurant, wandering back and forth with empty hands. While the food and atmosphere were wonderful, the service took away from our experience.

I found this place through Google maps and I am so glad I did! We had to make a few take out orders (so unfortunately, didnt have a chance to sit on the patio), and the place didnt disappoint. Weve ordered a seafood pasta which was nice, but it seems like they are doing better with Ontario pork and filet mignon which were both melting in the mouth. Delicious and highly recommended! The staff is very friendly too ;) Liz and Alex
