The covered back patio appears to be in operation year round. Heated and cozy. Service was prompt and helpful. Cocktails imaginative and fun. Food was great. The salad awesome. The meatballs (3 served with an intensely flavoured red sauce) were remarkable- the best anywhere. The nduja and shrimp pasta was terrific. My companion had the Cacio e pepe. Instead of the expected toothsome al dente bucatini, the pasta was like wide lasagna noodles wrapped in the shape of a crown. It was ok but didn’t quite provide the same effect. All in though - great. We shall return.

Our group of 4 had the utmost pleasure of being seated in Max’s section this evening and I'm not sure this restaurant's customer service can be topped. Between the Kelly’s Landing staff, food, and ambience, you can't ask for a better experience. However, it was truly our server Max working this particular evening that tied everything together to make our dinner memorable. Between the quality checks, small talk, menu knowledge, and attentiveness to our table, it's no wonder the place was packed. Our group honestly left the dinner talking about how floored we were with the service. This experience has set the bar and made regular customers of us. Thank you Kelly’s Landing team!

A one-of-a-kind experience from start to finish! The service was impeccable and truly exceptional, the food was spectacular, with every dish bursting with flavour, and the wine selection was equally impressive. As a pescatarian, I also appreciated how thoughtfully they accommodated my preferences. We celebrated a birthday, and the entire evening felt truly special. Overall an unforgettable experience!

Our host was so sweet and welcoming the food is the best!!! everything tastes so good 10/10. the only thing is it could get really loud. wish it was more roomy and warm in there (we were sitting by the door where waiters kept going outside to serve outdoor patio guests) but other than that its such a vibe and food never disappoints!

    We had a girls’ day in the city and had dinner here after a matinee theatre show. It was sooo good! From the moment we arrived the staff was welcoming, friendly and so attentive. The service is thoughtful, the food is delicious and the ambience is perfect. I have to also add that I am celiac and every time I come in, the server and chef are conscientious and ensure that my meal is safe for me and also delicious. I never feel like I’m missing out or being a problem. Thank you so much for a completely lovely evening! We will definitely be back!

    It was lovely and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to celebrate something special, or is just a foodie with an appreciation for art. Food was fantastic - presentation, flavours, and creativity. The presentation was obviously out of this world and they deserve the Michelin recognition. The wine pairings were spot on as well. Service was something extraordinary. Decor, quality of the wines and the ambience were all exquisite. Thank you to the chefs and the whole team. We loved it.
