    Disappointed Visit on What Should Have Been a Special Night We are frequent diners at Region and typically give it a 5-star rating. However, our experience on April 15 fell short of expectations—unfortunately, everyone has an off night, and this seemed to be one of them. It was my husband’s birthday, and Region was his choice for the celebration. We had actually dined there just two nights earlier and had a wonderful experience, so we were looking forward to another great evening. The reservation was made noting it was a birthday celebration, and we also mentioned it again upon arrival. Sadly, our server, Kevin, never acknowledged the birthday at any point during the evening. In the past, birthday celebrations at Region have always included a warm acknowledgment and a complimentary dessert. This time, not only was the birthday completely overlooked, but the restaurant was also out of the Sticky Toffee Pudding—one of their signature desserts, and a favorite of ours. It was disappointing, especially on a night we hoped would feel a bit more special. When we received the check and mentioned to Kevin that it was my husband’s birthday, he did offer to bring something out, but by then, the moment had passed and we declined. Service overall felt off. We waited longer than usual for our drinks, and there were noticeable delays for things like fresh pepper for our salads. The food itself was just okay—not quite up to Region’s usual high standards. We’ll continue to dine at Region, but this visit was a letdown. Hopefully, it was just an off night.

    We've been there several times. Region is a great place for food that is well above the typical restaurant. They have several different ways you can structure your meal with appetizers or small plates, soups, salads, and entrees. They have a section for meat and a section for fish. There are also a few options for vegetarians. The mix of the protein (meat or fish) with the accompanying sauce and vegetables is well-thought out. There are a few separate dining areas. One can also eat outside under a tent-type roof. There's also seating at the bar with high-top tables in that section. Prices are higher than a typical restaurant, but quite good for the quality of the food.

    Great as always. The special pork belly was fantastic. The winter salad is really good. The schnitzel and short ribs were also a big hit

    Food was great, absolutely no complaints. Ahi tuna tartare was my favorite item of the evening. Service staff were even better. Super attentive and helpful and made the visit that much more enjoyable.

    Everything is wonderful as always. The only thing I can comment that was not good. They ran out of food, which was annoying to keep trying to find something else to order, but everything was delicious.

    To start our server Kevin was great. Very professional and knowledgeable about the restaurant, the menu and wine choices. We both had the duck and it was prepared just right and accompanied by very taste sauces. We will b back very soon.

    I was just here last night to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday and absolutely loved our experience! The cocktails were great, the appetizers and main course were very well done, and they were so kind to give us a dessert to celebrate the evening.
