Ramekins

Ramekins has been a staple in Kingston since before I was a child but it is in serious need of some updates. We visited during the weekday. The green carpeted dining area has a massive seam rip going down the middle of the restaurant. The window curtains are dollar store curtains we hang in our bathroom. You can see the loose threads dangling from the chairs. There were flies; fruit flies and regular flies constantly swarming our food that we unsuccessfully tried to bat away. We were near the kitchen so something in there needs to be cleaned. The food was reasonably priced and the appetizers were good but the stir fry rice was undercooked and another person's noodles tasted like they came out of a package. The third person did not like their meal either. Our waiter didn't offer to refill our glasses like the other waiters did for their tables. It was the first bad meal I've had at Ramekins and we were all disappointed in the food. Maybe we'll revisit when they finally tear up their carpet, clean their kitchen, use fresher, real ingredients instead of packaged stuff, and undergo new ownership. I understand the pandemic has been rough on the supply chain and restaurants have to make compromises but we were all disappointed in the quality of the food, which could have been made better at home.

We had our turkey dinner catered this year and it was outstanding. Turnkey was moist, dressing delicious with mashed potatoes and the best turnip I’ve ever had. The gravy overflowed with flavour. It was delivered 10 minutes early with a smile and hot! All in all, it was fantastic and I highly recommend them. We will use them again and again to make the elderly hosts happy!

So good. Such great value. Dunder Miflon outdated vibes inside but the noveltyof it is fun. Food delicious! Great service.

Had a party for my moms 90th birthday. There were 15 of us at one table. The waitress was the best. Very attentive and great service. The food was delicious. I love their French onion soup. Fantastic event at a reasonable price. There are fireplaces throughout . You have to try here. Always good food! Parking: Lots life parking front and back.

The poor waitress was run off her feet. It took a long time for her to take our order and a long time for the food to come. I ordered Salmon and I can honestly say it's the worst I've ever had in a restaurant. The bathrooms had not been checked in a while as both stalls were out of toilet paper. I have eaten here before and it was wonderful but this was definitely a disappointing experience

Never judge a book by it's cover! My wife and I travelled to Kingston for her 50th. We just wanted a weekend away. So we google restaurants that had escargot and Ramekins popped up. When we arrived, the building looked a little older and the interior was similar. There were no TV's, no cute hostess and the music wasn't pumping. It kind of reminded me of another amazing place we visited in Kitchener called Edelweiss Tavern. We were there for the food, not the over priced experience and this place did not disappoint. Our server, Nick, was very pleasant and didn't try to over sell. He made some recommendations on the drink menu and they were spot on. My wife had the garden salad to start and I had the escargot. She enjoyed hers and I loved my escargot. Not many places serve it anymore and I was very happy to find this one. Our main course was the Prime Rib. She likes hers well done and I prefer medium rare. Oh My God! The size of meat was awesome! It was tender, juicy, thick and filled my plate. It was cooked perfectly, thanks to Chef Joe. The sides were nice too. The veggies were fresh and crisp and the potato just right. The dessert finished us off. I had the lemon meringue pie and my wife had the sticky toffee pudding. Both were excellent and we were stuffed. Like I mentioned, we were there for the food, not the ambience or fancy plating that is over priced and short on serving size. Ramekins will definitely be on our list of places to revisit the next time we return to Kingston. Its family owned and highly recommended.

Food was good, nice ambiance with a cozy vibe. Had my work dinner there and everyone seemed to have a good time. Food was 7/10 just because some dishes didn't match the description from the menu. Portions are very generous and service was also good, though it took a while to get the entrees.Food: 4/5

Lovely dinner with family. Excellent food and great service, thank you.

We went here for dinner with a couple of locals, who are regulars. As with other reviews, the interior could use a bit of a refresh, but it is still nice and cozy, especially if you can sit by the fireplace as we did. The food was excellent, with the exception of the gravy - it was far too salty and had way too much starch presumably flour in it. Several items that we tried included the bruschetta, which was very tasty and had lots of nice melted cheese, French onion soup - not the richest broth I’ve ever had, but it was still very tasty, and the amount of beautifully melted cheese made up for it. The cheese was mozzarella not Gruyère, but was delicious. Two of the party had Chicken Kiev, one of us had pork schnitzel, and one had veal Marsala. All were large portions, beautifully prepared, and very tasty!!! This was topped off with sticky toffee pudding for desert, which was also excellent and a perfect little bite to end the meal. The service was excellent, the staff were very friendly and attentive, and our food arrived very quickly. Overall, this place does things right and we will visit again!!!

Wonderful brunch for a surprisingly good price. The bacon could have been a little crispier, but that's more a personal preference. Service was second to none! Wheelchair accessibility: Has a permanent ramp on the outside, and a collapsible ramp on the inside.
