Best Family Style Restaurants in Renfrew / Collingwood

I love Dovetail. My favourite is the spicy vodka pasta with chicken but everything they have is great. Getting a reservation in the evening requires some planning, but coming in the afternoon is always wide open, and preferable for me anyway. They also have lunch specials and the pasta dishes are enough for two. I'm so happy I discovered Dovetail, they have a loyal fan.

Beautiful restaurant with great ambiance. Attentive to details - it was my girlfriends birthday and they had a card on the table and brought out a candle-lit gelato. Food was very good with high quality, fresh ingredients. Careful of upselling when ordering - we ordered quite a bit of food for the table and were met with 'are you sure you ordered enough? Are you not that hungry?' from our waiter. Seemed like a ploy to increase the overall bill and consequently his tip. We didn't take his advice and left stuffed.

Finally, after 25 years of waiting, a cool, creative, interesting, and above all terrific restaurant has opened up in our Hastings/Sunrise neighbourhood. I've always thought Greek food was usually pretty solid, but often predictable. This, however, is the new wave of Greek food. Thoughtful, intelligent, inspired dishes that had our whole table talking throughout the meal. Now mind you, we went with the 5 course/10 dish tasting menu, which is often the best and most fun option in restaurants who offer it, so I can't speak for anyone who just orders a dish or two off the menu. The value we got for $80 a person was amazing. We were all happily stuffed. The ambience is smart and inviting, and the service was very attentive. We'll be coming back regularly, and we don't go hardly anywhere regularly, so that's saying something. Cheers, Brad
