Eureka! Ontario

First off the hospitality is through the roof, the food is great, drinks are amazing. This is the go to spot for a date, a beer with the friend group or even if you want a nice dinner with your family. Please check this place out.

I overall quite enjoyed this place :) Their drinks were nice. I had the espresso martini which tasted well and had a little bit of sweetness. The lavender iced tea was also good, I liked that it wasn’t overly sweet. Salad was refreshing too. The inside of the restaurant is small, although the eating area outside is nice. Friendly waitresses. The only reason I knocked off a star was because the chairs aren’t very comfortable, especially the outside ones. They’re small and metal, so we decided to eat inside instead. I’d suggest eating inside rather than outside for this reason. But the food and drinks are worth it.

My daughter-in-law was in town for a couple of days and we wanted to meet up for dinner and she found Eureka. It was such a great find. We arrived around 5:15 before the crowd and ate outside which was awesome because of the cool breeze. Our server Alicia was super nice and friendly checking on us regularly. We started with the Mac and cheese balls which were delicious. My daughter in law had the wings, I had the barbecue bacon burger and truffle fries, and her mom had the tacos. Everything was delicious. I told my hubby about it and can’t wait to bring him back.

I decided to check this place out after reading the reviews online. I wanted to go somewhere with decent drinks and good food. I ordered the nachos. I got chicken and steak. It was about $24. I ordered a glass of Prosecco champagne $20 And a shot of whiskey with a side of Diet Coke $13. My bill ended up being about $61. I only ordered off of the appetizer menu. Overall, a little pricey, but typical for this area. I can say the food was good and little wait time. I’m still not a fan of the waiter handing you the device to choose what tip you want to leave, I think that’s passive aggressive. I handed the bartender a $20 and asked for change and he said thank you. I said can I please have change? Tipping culture in the US is uncomfortable and it changes the experience you have.

This place is conveniently located adjacent to the Arena on the bottom floor of the Element Hotel... not connected though. I LOVE the Eureka in Claremont (near my home) and I thought I would check this one out. It was a cold and windy day and unfortunately, as people came in the doors stayed open and we were freezing. Service was better once we told our server that I was in the food industry - before then it was just meh. Clean restaurant with sorta dark interiors but a nice spot to meet friends and have a beverage or watch a game. Respectfully Reviewed.
