The greeter at the door should receive bonus money. He took each and every person's scarf, coat, umbrella. Tonight was rainy, he had to deal with wet scarves and clothing. He had to remember which coat belongs to whom. When I was done, he helped puting on my coat. It would not be fair if his salary is just minimum. I have done a lot of traveling aroung Canada, most restaurants just ask guests to check their coats at the rank, with nobody attending. You can't ask questions or you get kicked out. I have also encountered rude persons telling me my grocery cart or umbrella "is not allowed", etc. Food was satisfying. Photos are today's special (off menu) and chicken liver pate.

This was an unexpected delight. The meals were perfect. It was a nice ambiance, not loud. We will definitely be returning and spreading the news. Costco has gift cards for $100. Costs only $80. Yup, I'm getting a couple.

My first experience in this restaurant: The food was expertly prepared but the service was disappointing. We were a group of 8 celebrating a birthday gathered at the “before peak hours” reservation time. The whole process from ordering to paying took a loooong time. Return I would but not part of a larger group. I would return but

First time dining at Days on Front and it was a pleasant experience. Service is top notch and the place is tastefully appointed. I got the feature and it was good but it wasn’t great. I found the gnocchi stodgy and the short rib dry. My Wife got the salmon which was also good but wasn’t great. I’d go there again and order off the menu. Menu is quite limited which leads me to believe all dishes would be executed perfectly. Nice place with very good service. Prices are reasonable and it was a lovely experience.

Ordered the salmon with potato croquettes from the dinner menu for takeout. Beautiful atmosphere and staff are accommodating while I waited at the bar. My hopes were high. The dried out hockey-puck salmon piece sent me spiraling from a dizzying height of expectations. It was so dried out you could pick up the piece with your fingers and chew on it. They included commercial tasting tartar sauce for the salmon, which was really bizarre because tartar sauce does not suit grilled salmon at all. The dressing for the arugula was way too sweet. The potatoes were delicious and came with a very nice sauce but sadly they don’t know how to cook fish.

Had a great time here, portions were good for the type of food they are offering(fine dining, big plate small portion), place was nice, knowledgeable staff. I would not recommend the Mac and cheese, but the other plates that I tasted were delicious. I had the chicken supreme which was really good. I would like to come back to try some other dishes. If you have a special date, anniversary I would recommend you check this place out.

Drove up from NYC and spent a couple days in the 1000 Islands area and with no good food options on the US side my wife and I decided to try Kingston, ON. Don't let the strip mall location fool you Days on Front is fantastic. We had the duck bao special, chicken, cod and mac and cheese. Desserts were a bit big, but i'm only complaining because I had trouble forcing myself to stop eating it. Spencer our waiter was accommodating, I have a shrimp allergy and Canadian healthcare sounds cool, but i wasn't interested in testing it out-- no issues at all.

Our first time dinner at this place on a Valentine day and must say, the food is amazing. But I would prefer to have the service to speed up a bit as food was cool already by time it get to the table... Not sure if it is the style of this place. The scallops - somehow the scallops size is not consistent but, the sweet crispy bacon make the dish memorable, it pair so well with the scallops. Caesar salad - just like regular other places, nothing much special. The ribs - I must say it is chef kiss, the mashed potatoes is so smooth, its like melting in your mouth, the rib is so soft and flavourful. The feature steak - just as expected, tender and well seasoned. Except the salad seem not very pair well with it, it like having 2 dishes going on at once. The service, it was kinda weird feeling, Im not sure if it is just my table, but the same server, she was so kind to other table, but not my table. We received complimentary bread as others, but when serving appetizer, she didn't take away the tray, leave to an uncomfortable experience as the table already quite small, I have to remind after we finish course 1. At the end, the overall experiment was okay, beside the service, I will come back here for the food.

After being here a few years ago and thinking it was fantastic, we were disappointed in the meal we had tonight. We had ordered the short ribs before, both dining in and takeout, but for $36 you get a very small portion of short rib. The cream sauce that came with the chicken was blah in taste. The best part of the meal was the butternut squash soup - it was amazing. We also had the scallops but you get only 3 small scallops for $21. I was tempted to ask the waiter where the other half of the dish was! As for dessert, I can make a better cheesecake. Service was good and attentive - Dennis was great. Sorry to say, we wont be returning. Ian

We were looking for a good restaurant in Kingston and my husband came across Days on Front. We thought we were going the wrong way, even when we arrived in the parking lot. It was almost deserted. You had to dare to push the door to be there and find a restaurant where all the tables were occupied. Warm welcome, impeccable service and the cuisine a real treat. I recommend it to you

Story time! I have been a regular at Days on Front since it opened! While the menu has changed over the years, the quality and flavours of each dish has always been top notch (even throughout the food truck phase)! I recently had oral surgery and was cleared to eat warm food like soup, problem is, I hate soup! I thought I would give the soup a try and ordered it for take out. It was a butternut squash soup and was, without a doubt, the absolute best soup I have ever had in my life. I am going to place a few orders so I can heat up at home over the next few days! I can t say enough about this soup! I will be dreaming of this soup! Thank you for making my soup dreams come true!

We highly recommend Days on Front. Our server, Josh, was very friendly, attentive and made our dining experience so wonderful. Freshly baked bread, delicious lamb and ribs dinners with wine.

We loved it. We both know restaurants, and this first time visit was exactly what we expected and truly enjoyed it. A lot of effort has gone into the offering. Menus read well, trendy while covering the classics. Price was totally fair for the experience. Especially with the majority of everything on the menu made in house. We sat on the bar side and liked it. Attentive service, friendly welcome. Small team all working together so we felt well taken care of. We will be back.

I would give this place 6 stars if I could. Its tucked away in a strip mall but you would never know it once you come through the door. Wonderful service, nice wine pairings and everything were ordered was exceptional. The meatballs app, sirloin and creme Brule were particularly excellent. We were traveling but if we lived locally we would become regulars! Kid-friendliness: Clearly not marketed for kids but they accommodated our 6 and 7 year old willingly and graciously. They loved the meatballs and Caesar salad

Wednesday evening dinner. Very warm welcome followed by prompt drink and bread service, good wine recommendation. Shrimp tempura and truffle fries were excellent. Our mains varied. Duck gnocchi was fabulous but unfortunately the Short Rib was just ok. Lacked depth of flavor and seasoning. Dessert cheesecake was lovely. Will return!

Days on Front is our favourite restaurant in Kingston. My wife and I have been several times for date nights and have also taken family/friends. The menu is not overwhelming and has something for everyone. The food is always quality and we have never left hungry or disappointed. We like to dress up when going, but business casual is fine too. The restaurant is relatively quiet and intimate and has a phenomenal wine selection. The prices are extremely fair and you can tell that the staff and owner take great pride in making sure your experience is great. Dietary restrictions: Extremely accommodating for people with celiac and have gluten free/vegan options indicated in the menu. Parking: Never an issue with Parking.

This is the best fine dining restaurant in Kingston and it s not even close. Like literally, no contest. The prices are generally what you would come to expect for fine dining (at least for the mains - the apps and salads are very reasonably priced), but the portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and every dish packs a flavourful punch. The vibe is wine bar chic, and the staff and owner are incredibly friendly. A lot of people in Kingston tend to gravitate downtown for fine dining, and those people are missing out. I consider myself pretty picky/ judgmental when it comes to food, and the restaurant has never disappointed me.

We live in the area and came here for the first time on Valentines Day after hearing how wonderful it was from all the neighbours. It absolutely lived up to the reputation: exquisite food, excellent service, and tremendous value. We particularly enjoyed the tuna dish, the short rib with Bordelaise sauce, and the banana dessert. Five stars all around.

The food was simply amazing!! This restaurant doesnt look like much from the outside, but you have to go in and eat there! It was one of the best meals I have ever eaten in my life and visited Italy!! I had a pomegranate martini and my girlfriend and I shared the crab arancini. The sauce was as succulent as the arancini!! For main meals we had the duck gnocchi with cream and mushroom sauce and the fettuccini with lentil bolognese sauce. It was so good that we didnt want the meal to end. To finish, we shared the chocolate and cheese cake with berry coulis! It was as tasty as everything else. The service there was also great! Well done!

An absolute hidden gem of a place. Food was exquisite - the best I ve had in a long while. Prices are quite reasonable given this. Service was fantastic - laid back, no attitude - and the vibe is nice - dim, private. It s tricky to find because it really doesn t look like much from the outside, which just makes it that much more of a treat to sit down to a phenomenal meal. I has the soup, arctic char and crème brûlée with the recommended wine pairing and it was all stellar, though the soup was next level.

Two words - duck gnocchi! So good! My fiancé and I went to Days on Front this weekend for our anniversary after it was recommended to us and it was AMAZING! We started with the pork belly, which was sweet and delicious. Then of course we both had the duck gnocchi for our mains. My fiancé and I both agreed that it was the best dish that we ve ever eaten at a restaurant. Our server, Erica was fantastic! She was attentive, friendly and you could tell that she genuinely enjoyed her job. We ve been to many of the higher end restaurants in downtown Kingston and have never received the level of service that we received from Erica. As someone who also works in the service industry, it was a nice change! We will definitely be back!

My first experience yesterday for take-out valentines dinner was fabulous. Im not usually a fan of fruity salad but this was the most flavourful Ive ever had. Looking forward to a dine in experience some day. Over the summer we ate in the parking lot patio which was a great experience. Now for New Years Eve we got take-out again. Once again my cat was the recipient of the prawns and he went wild for them! The rest of the dinner was good, especially the green beans - the vegetarian root vegetable lasagna was not to my taste. I find parsnips and turnip to be the worst tasting vegetables and wonder if anyone vegetarian or carnivore would chose them - sure they are cheap but far from good tasting, Im also not a fan of goat cheese (salad). Perhaps the vegetarian risotto is better tasting.

Ive been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now but have always been a little wary because the prices are pretty high and I am so tired of going to restaurants that call themselves fine dining and charge as if they are but, end up coming up short. (This city is loaded with those types of places). We finally bit the bullet last night and went. I have to say that after living in Kingston for 3 yrs now, we have finally found the restaurant that we have been looking for! This place checks all the boxes. Food quality is incredible, ambiance is nice, service is great, prices are still a touch on the high side but I dont mind paying for quality and that is exactly what we got here last night. Well done Days on Front. We will definitely be back.

I had the salad and the duck the two Corus Meal and a glass of wine ,my lovely wife had the short rib and the Atlantic char and cheesecake, and of course we shared. The duck was tasty but should ve been two legs one just wasn t enough the good thing was it came with a bean salad with that it filled you up, the Atlantic char wife enjoyed it especially the garnishes with it. The salad was just OK nothing to write home about, The short rib was tasty but again very little, wasn t too bad not sure if I would go back again but wasn t too disappointed. With a 20% tip total came to 170+. That was with three glasses of wine 5 oz. Wrote the rest of this after owner replied I didn t think this was a bad review everything tasted good, but in my opinion was not enough the duck leg was 3 bites of meat and the salad had little goat cheese sprinkled on top and most of it fell on the table when I tried to mix it up. From reading other reviews anything negative in there reviews you (the owner)get very defensive, take the little bit of criticism and improve from it!

We had driven past this restaurant many times (it is located in a small strip mall) and wondered if it was a great as the reviews - in a word - YES! Dont let the location throw you. Once inside the cozy dining room we were greeted by a very pleasant hostess, seated at the table we had reserved (reservations are a must for any day, Fridays and Saturdays are booked weeks in advance). Our server was friendly, knew the menu & ingredients, made an excellent wine suggest (love Spanish red) and was the perfect combination of attentive while leaving us time together. The short rib appetizer was Excellent!!! We both decided on the Artic Char ~ the fish was Amazing! The entire meal was both beautiful to look at and even better tastings. We will be back for our next special evening - cheers to the team at Days of Front for a wonderful experience

My wife and I love this restaurant. Probably our favorite in Kingston. Casual fine dining with a great menu. I have tried almost everything and what ever you order will be fantastic. Always good service and the desert menu is good too. Update: they now have a food truck during the summer season. A limited menu but still delicious!

December 22, 2022

First time at the food truck. Very disappointed. Pear and Brie sandwich turned out to be paper thin slices of pear with an overwhelming sauce. The small bun was burnt. Carmelized onion was all you could taste. Tiny can of Perrier and this totalled $17.00. Not worth the money. Threw the sandwich out.

Very good! Summer time its the chip wagon and outdoor patio but quality is excellent! Inside the restaurant, there is the beer/wine bottle shop. Overall, its excellent!

Fantastic food, great service. One of the best restaurants in town. They have an intimate, elegant dining room open in the fall through spring and a gourmet, upscale food truck in the summer.

The DoF food truck has got to be a hidden gem of Kingston. They have a little patio with the truck (dog-friendly!) Where they often host live music. Drinks are flowing (frosé!- I was disappointed to be honest, not blended enough). The food is prepared in the restaurant proper so be prepared to hang out on the patio for a few minutes. They have weekly specials as well. Pricey but probably worth it!

My wife and I checked out the DOF gut truck out front. It was just ok. My wife enjoyed the Mac-n-Cheese. I stupidly though that because the burger was $16 it came with fries. Lol I was wrong. The burger was unremarkable really. About 4oz patty nothing WOW about it. Not worth $16. Not worth a 2nd visit from me.

Staff is friendly, food is great. I recommend the pulled pork or pulled chicken. Dont bother with the Mac n cheese for the kids, they wont recognise it.. it doesnt have any of the same texture or flavour. It would have been a better experience if the wasps werent as hungry. For 2 adults and one child, total came to around 70$. Parking: Lots of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Tables are in the parking lot

Never disappointed when we visit! There was not a specific vegan item on the menu, but the chef and waitress were very accommodating. The chef made a delicious beet risotto with green beans and oyster mushrooms cooked to perfection. The last risotto that was this good was when we visited Hells Kitchen. Well done! My husband savoured every bite of the crab arancini balls and decided to try the banana bread pudding for dessert and was not disappointed. Our waitress was attentive and we never felt rushed. The prices are more than reasonable for the quality of food and service.

Hidden gem! The owner is so nice, he came by our table and offered to remake a dish when he saw that one guest had not eaten very much. The guest said everything was delicious, they just dont eat a lot. Very considerate of the owner. Happy to support local businesses now so they can make it to a new year.

Had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious dinner here last night. It was the first meal that I had had in a restaurant in a year due to COVID and it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we felt so comfortable that every precaution had been taken for our safety and comfort. Each table was well spaced with lovely wooden dividers that actually served a duo purpose giving us privacy as well. We both began with the scallop appetizer. It was absolutely delicious. I followed with the shrimp and lobster pasta and my friend chose the tenderloin. Both were done to perfection. I finished my meal with the decadent Créme Brulée. The ambiance, service and food quality was second to none. If you havent had the opportunity to dine at Days on Front make sure it is your next evening out.

Good fine dining food, but the current takeaway of fine food just doesnt have the same appeal of eating in a restaurant. Plus we live a bit away, and despite best efforts, the food suffers as it cools down. Their Celiac friendly gluten free options can be counted on.

Destination dining in Our Silver Lining. Days on Front, Kingston, Ontario A long-delayed visit, Days on Front has been on our radar for 2 years. Life interfered & a dine in visit has been on hold since Covid-19 s arrival. That will continue for the foreseeable future but fortunately Matt Day & crew have pivoted expanding takeout. Inside dining currently available. We were interested in Date Night Takeout Thursdays. We enjoyed our date night dinner, blinds drawn, furnace keeping us cozy in the parking lot. Sweetie says next visit, she wants her own dessert. Meal was packed in containers that were handy to eat from (dessert shared, innovated with paper plates.) Went the extra mile, rather than the plastic flatware, we used the fancy have to wash stuff. Will look forward to future visits, inside post vaccine immunization but mobile dining is a very suitable alternative.

Weve eaten at Days on Front at least a few times a year since it opened and have always had incredible meals and service. We ate here last night for our first dinner in a restaurant since March and were blown away. They have done an amazing job making you feel secure eating there during covid without sacrificing ambiance. The new prix fixe menu is wonderful and I think very well priced. We had the scallops (that corn veloute - wow), the sweetbreads, the artic char, and the lamb (the artichoke made the dish). Everything was cooked to perfection, seasoned perfectly, and delicious. Our server, Erica B was delightful and its amazing that the owner, Matt, gives personal service to every customer. Thank you for yet another amazing meal!

I can not say enough good things about this place. My hubby and I were looking for a local place to try on our Kingston staycation.From the outside, its not eye catching at all. Located in a plaza between a medical office and a quickie mart. Dont let that sway you Go inside to experience the most amazing food and service. The restaurant was CLEAN, the tables were staged and separated creating a lovely ambient environment for every guest. Our server was outstanding, personable and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. The food was some of the best weve ever had. And we are always in search of good local places to support. The owner ensured everything was top notch and checked in with every guest. My only complaint is that its so far away from home... we will be making the 4 hour drive again just to eat here.
