One of Kingstons absolute finest. This restaurant deserves 10 stars. The food is superb and high quality. The staff and owner go above and beyond to ensure your dining expectations are met. Food is Seasoned to perfection and not heavily salted, yet so so flavorful. Family favourites include: warm salad, caesar salad, beef short rib, shrimp appetizer, triple chocolate cheesecake. One of if not the best wine selections in town with wines from all over Europe you can’t find at other wine shops or lcbo. Matt Day and his team delivers top quality service from start to finish, with staff at the door to collect coats and amazing attention/accommodation to your comfort throughout your meal. Friendly and professional servers who add enjoyment to the experience that is Days on Front. A truly special place, a Kingston staple. It’s worth the short drive to the west end if staying downtown to enjoy fine cocktails, wine and food, great ambiance and exceptional Service. Warm, classy yet casual and sophisticated atmosphere. A trip or reservation at this restaurant is sure to deliver. Also, the events such as Wine Dinner and Mothers Day brunch, Days On Front organizes are a real treat to experience and make for an amazing special occasion- birthday, anniversary, date night etc. Highly recommend all around. Have been too many times to count. Thank you Days on Front team! You are the best!!

Great place to eat. Have recently been for a few lunches and the service is fast so no need to worry about time. Lots of parking and easy to get to. Service is always friendly and the food is very good.

Everything was perfect. I had nothing to complain about. Food was magnificent, service the best I've had in years, atmosphere was great. Prices were really good and the wine list was great and very affordable. We had a Malbec that was fantastic. I will go back in a heartbeat. Kingston doesn't have many really amazing restaurants but this is one! I'm annoyed we only learned of it now after 8 years!!

The greeter at the door should receive bonus money. He took each and every person's scarf, coat, umbrella. Tonight was rainy, he had to deal with wet scarves and clothing. He had to remember which coat belongs to whom. When I was done, he helped puting on my coat. It would not be fair if his salary is just minimum. I have done a lot of traveling aroung Canada, most restaurants just ask guests to check their coats at the rank, with nobody attending. You can't ask questions or you get kicked out. I have also encountered rude persons telling me my grocery cart or umbrella "is not allowed", etc. Food was satisfying. Photos are today's special (off menu) and chicken liver pate.

Had a great time here, portions were good for the type of food they are offering(fine dining, big plate small portion), place was nice, knowledgeable staff. I would not recommend the Mac and cheese, but the other plates that I tasted were delicious. I had the chicken supreme which was really good. I would like to come back to try some other dishes. If you have a special date, anniversary I would recommend you check this place out.

Went for dinner last night with my family. I have a lot of food allergies and sometimes, dining out is a disappointing experience. Not last night. My meal was flavourful, hot and delicious. Portion size was just right! I was also able to have dessert...a very, very rare thing. All of the staff last night were friendly and accommodating.
