Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Old Strathcona

Potentially understaffed tonight. We ended up waiting quite a long time (probably 15min) after first sitting down before receiving menus and getting drinks ordered. Also waited quite a while for the bill with credit card on the table. Overall service was polite and cheerful though. Food and drinks were amazing and ambience is great.

Usual place for us and had Ashley as our waitress. Will ask to have her section when we return she’s fantastic. Management always comes by to make sure we are good and to say hello

You get what you pay for here. It's not a weekly eatery, but for special occasions with that special someone, it's gold. Highly recommended.

We ordered the arancini and the burrata as our starters and they both didn’t disappoint. We also ordered the calamari (very lightly breaded so that was good) and the Buco salad was okay. The papardelle is always a good choice and the capricciosa pizza is a must! Service scored low because I felt like we had to look up and try to get our servers attention cause it takes a while for her to come back to our table.

Incredible service. Incredible food. We had arancini and the mushroom toast to start. Best arancini I’ve ever had with a crunchy exterior and a center oozing with cheese. The sablefish for our main was buttery and perfectly cooked. Delicious! The lobster pasta was exquisite. It wasn’t just a piece of lobster on some pasta, as you could tell that the sauce was infused with the shells and lobster essence and was deeply flavorful. we are anxious to go back and try something new.
