Breakfast at the March Hare was exquisite! My husband and I requested to have the Eggs Benny on Prime Rib and Eggs Benny on Lobster Cake. It was Divine! The food was savory to the last bite and beautifully plated! We're looking forward to returning to The March Hare soon!

Located in Christina St across Lochiel on the other corner from the Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery. Has a fine foods menu including Beef Tartare, Duck Confit etc. Portions are a good size -- having been to similar restaurants before and getting minimal amount of food that doesn't come even close to covering your plate, that was a nice surprise I got the Beef Tartare, which includes shallots, capers, chives, it was a perfect blend of flavours and the sauce was a great texture. Paired it with a glass of red wine recommended by both chefs, I'm sorry I don't remember what it was now, but nothing I've ever seen on another restaurant menu. They have just been establishing their wine menu and it's not online yet. Complemented the dish nicely My husband had The Burger, made with 2 dry aged Chuck and brisket patties with aioli sauce. He tasted the difference in quality and was a good portion size as well. Served with frites which were cooked in a different, finer oil. Tasteful decor, lots of window seating. Service was warm, friendly and professional. We look forward to a future visit and next time I want to try the Sakura Pana Cotta dessert which is a matcha cheese cake with chai syrup and berries!

The lox bagel is delicious! I like that it comes with fruits, salad and potatoes. The smoked salmon is amazing. The vibe of the place is very inviting. Highly recommend and would return.

Elevated Fine Dining in the heart of downtown Sarnia. Amazing to see the chef’s preparing each dish. The Beef Tartare was incredible and the Tomato Tart has my heart. I hope they get a liquor license in the near future. The brunch is also fantastic.

Coming from NYC my standards for dining experiences are very high and March Hare blew my mind. I got the steak and eggs, which were delicious. Just look at those yolks!!!I was so impressed by the team and their passion was so evident. 10/10 food and dining experience. Cannot wait to come on my next visit!

The. Best. This place is absolutely incredible. I’ve pretty much worked my way through the whole menu and nothing disappoints. The ingredients are fresh, the dishes are considered and perfectly executed. Best meal in Sarnia and clearly run by a team that knows and loves making and delivering great food and great vibes. Must try.

Best brunch/lunch in town! Loved them since their old location and without fail they continue to be amazing since opening up on Christina! No matter what you eat here you can bet it’ll be of the highest quality & the chefs will put every ounce of love and perfection into whatever they make.

Accidental discovery but certainly not regretted. We didnt make a reservation but luckily we got a table anyway. Original but limited menu. Pleasant music in the background. The open kitchen was great! We couldnt get wine today...the liquor permit was only valid from tomorrow. Too bad, but it didnt detract from our visit. Definitely recommended

Food was excellent and server perfect. She was friendly and was working very hard. But, they need more wait staff. Not suitable for kids, too small. I had the tomatoe tart. Most amazing flavours

Finally a sarnia resto for foodies. Between long gone on the front, the Turkish guy s beauty salon eateries, salvatore and chipican disappearance and the swinger girl s venues, the town has been pretty hard up for culinary experiences. Not exactly overburdened with options. So I m delighted to report the hare delivers. Had the chicken liver brule, venison chard red wine spretzel, carrot cheesecake and toffee pudding among other delectables and all top notch. And that s coming from a guy from miami!

Really excellent. Had the caviar bumps, oysters, bread and butter, steak tartare, venison, and burger. All superb, but I d especially recommend the venison, perfectly cooked to juicy rare glory over a tangy morel reduction.

My wife and I had an amazing dining experience! Wonderful food (that I was too excited about to take a picture), great atmosphere, and top-notch service with a short wait time for our food. Our waitress knew the menu inside and out and described the food perfectly. The 10/10 experience that sarnia surely needed, we will be back again soon!

Right off the bat the atmosphere was great. We were greeted by a lovely hostess and I was delighted to see fresh flowers on every table. We got the heirloom tomatoes and burrata cheese and I cant recommend it enough. Not only was it plated so beautifully but the ingredients were so fresh and delicious. Ill definitely be going back for more. You can tell theres a lot of love and passion thats gone into this place. Im looking forward to my next visit!

Its open again!!! Ive left my prior review at the bottom because honestly a lot of it still rings true. Incredible service, the best lobster roll youll ever eat in this province, the renovations theyve done at their new location are amazing. I highly recommend, and am looking forward to March Hares planned evening menu. The set up allows you to watch the chefs prepare the food, and their passion is evident! Theyre house aging meats, I had the pleasure of trying the bresaola and it was fantastic. Check their Instagram for updates to the menus, they change it often based on what they have coming out of their dry ager. Unfortunately March Hare is permanently closed now. I cant stop raving about March Hare! The food is amazing. The chefs are always up to something interesting, and give great recommendations. The lobster roll is phenomenal, and they have great ramen. Weekends this summer theyve been shucking oysters and the ones theyre serving up rival any big citys best raw bar. Their Saturday specials are worth a look at, too. I had the best pulled pork there last week and I dont even like pulled pork?! At least I didnt.. Unfortunately March Hare is permanently closed now. I cant stop raving about March Hare!

Best spot in sarnia hands down. Amazing brunch. Dinner is coming soon they told me. Wicked burger, had the tartar with the table and burrata also. Really fresh ingredients. Chef and owner really cares about elevating the food scene here which is great to see. Check out if you re in town. Also the chairs have a nice back support, which isn t a requirement but appreciated.

We were recommended this place by some friends and it did not disappoint. Amazing vibes/decor, super friendly staff, and the food was amazing. My partner had the burger and said it was one of the best he s ever had. I m a vegetarian so it tried the Tomato Tart and we split the Burrata. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I can t wait until they start serving dinner - we will definitely be back.

I was on my way to the casino in Sarnia and decided to stop by the March Hare for a bite to eat. I had no idea what to expect walking in, but the food and service really surprised me! The burger was epic, the lobster roll was epic and I would highly recommend the beef tartare. Everything was seasoned perfectly, so you know youre going to be in good hands when it comes to any of these menu items. I will definitely be coming back. PS the casino sucks!

I really hate writing bad reviews but I would hope this one would help with improvement. I do not eat meat and the vegetarian options you have are tasteless. The veggie burger needs something on it for more flavour. The fries where way overdone. I have tried many options and really want to like the food because I enjoy the beer.

Was here for Refined Fools music bingo last night and as soon as I saw March Hare had chicken and waffles, I knew I had to try it. It was amazing. New favourite place in town to get perfectly cooked fried chicken and yummy waffles. It even came with fries which were very good. Some nice granny smith apple slices would top this off perfectly.

March Hare is great if you are eating in and want one of the daily specials , the duck wings or go for a special night out and attend a chefs table tasting menu. You also order a take out family meals which are new each week. Iaan and the staff are very friendly and the food is always great.

I love my home town, but I dont always find great places to hang-out and have great food. March Hare at Refined Fool hit it hard! Every Friday night for the month of July we friend-dated with my fellow Toronto-expats Lucinda and Lesley and dug into it all - mouth watering Onion Rings, light crispy fries, melt-your-mouth brisket, the juiciest, yummiest oysters (seriously) and a lobster sandwich to rival all lobster sandwiches, even the one I had in Digby, Nova Scotia (and dare I say, Joe Beef in Montreal - but that would be pretentious name-dropping non?). I would highly recommend making a stop at the March Hare - the limited but addictive menu produces quality every time. I miss our Friday nights!

Amazing food! Creative menu, fantastic specials, oysters rival the best of the East coast restaurant selections. Great ambience. Staff obviously cares about the quality of the food they serve. Sarnia is not necessarily known for great food, but March Hare is changing that.

Updated! A couple of friends invited us to go back there and give them another chance to impress us. It worked!!! The lobster roll is just amazing. Very well served, fair price, and the most important, it is delicious. That is what we expect from them! The fries, in my opinion, are still over fried, what made them dry inside. Maybe that is what they want it to be, Im not sure at this point anymore. So, I came back to make this comment fair and given them a better score. You definately should try the Oysters and the Lobster Roll here. You wont regret! Original review: I order the fries and the cheese. The fries were burn and dried. The cheese had no taste and was very fat. Honestly, I might had to high expectations based on all other comments. Disappointed. Edited: Ive been at Albertos yesterday, and I had a decent fries for $4. So, I taught 3 stars for a fries that cost me twice as much, in a place that is fancy enough to sell Lobster dishes, was too much. Very disappointed, specially after read all the good reviews here.

Delicious brisket dinner - beef melted in your mouth, combined with the smoke and spices put it over the top. The coleslaw was crunchy and the gravy could have been a dish all to itself. The chefs pride in his work is clearly evident!
