    The appetizers here are the perfect find of comfort food to banish winter blues and that hungry tired feeling. Try the steak tartare has meaty morsels on top of perfectly toasted white bread. Read more

    Probably the best salmon tartar in the city. Interior is beautifully designed. Nice outside dining space as well. Perfect date spot. A must try for all seafood lovers.

    Kinmont was really fantastic. Only open one week into service and aside of one minor issue, all of service was great. Food was fantastic and the servers are really top notch.

    This seafood-centric restaurant puts its own spin on Scotch egg by swapping out the traditional sausage with whitefish. Finish on a sweet note with an eclair on the side. Read more

    Dining room has great energy. Definitely try to sit there instead of the bar. Fish and chips and chowder outstanding. Everything else top quality. Will return soon!

    Bagel and lox. Yummy thick bagel, thin sliced salmon, cool cucumber and rich cream cheese make for a delicious bite.

    Steak tartare could have been spicier, but they have house-made hot sauce for the table
