Reviews for Janet Lynn's Bistro in Kitchener, ON

Everything on the menu sounded delicious, our food was cooked to perfection and the presentation was very well done. We had the... soup of the day (butternut squash) and the smoked salmon but didn't get a photo before devouring. The salad of the day washeirloom tomatoes, we also had the duck and fish. All delicious with the carrot cake as desert. Great portion sizes to be ableto have a few items without being way too full for more. Service was well done also. Thank you for a great evening! We'll beback! Read more

I went here this week and had a fantastic experience. We ordered the octopus and scallops to start. Octopus was perfect and I... appreciated the garnishes. The scallops were just a tad over cooked, maybe a minute max so they weren?t chewy but didn?t melt inyour mouth either, they did however have that coveted caramelization we all crave. The dish was served with peas and pieces ofham which I?m usually not a fan of but wow it really worked together. For our mains we had the pasta special which was a seafoodpasta with salmon and shrimp. I appreciate the amount of vegetable as well as pasta in the dish which made the dish feel light.Seafood was cooked well. The duck breast was really the star of the show. Perfectly cooked with a gorgeous seasoning on theoutside and pink and tender on the inside. Served on a bed of the most delicious mashed potatoes I?ve ever had. I seriouslydebated asking if they?d sell it to me by the tubload. Very creamy yet airy. The cabbage served with it was cooked beautifullyand had a nice kick to it. We had a fantastic wine that our wonderful server Chris recommended, please refer to the photo. Waittime between our starter and main could have been quicker but overall a great experience and I look forward to coming back. Read more

Fast and fresh. Both in food and service. Market Fresh food. Deliveryand placement was eloquent. Great atmosphere for all kinds of events. Great spot for family dinners, intimate gatherings and?meet the parents? kind of meal. Could lick the plate it was so delicious. 5 stars all around. Read more

The food is delicious. We got the chicken and the daily pasta (Salmon linguine). Both were delicious, and the chicken was done... perfectly (juicy and flavourful). Dave took care of our table for the night, he is so polite and patient. Took time to tell usall the menu features and checked in on us to make sure we were genuinely enjoying our food. A really sweet person overall, andmade the experience extra nice. Read more

Finest of the Fine. This was our go-to for anniversaries and important celebrations. The food was always amazing, flavourful... and fair portions for a fine dining experience. The service was top notch, very friendly and helpful. It's a beautifullydesigned space, not pretentious, but quality without going over the top. It is pricey, but in comparison to other establishmentsin the area, and in particular Belmont and Uptown, it is more than fair in its' value. Sadly, we have moved away from KW, butif we are in the area for a special event, we will most definitely return. Read more

Second time coming here, and not disappointed. We had the scallops, grilled octopus (amazing), and duck breast (the breast was... perfectly cooked and the port jus was beautifully seasoned). Everything was wonderful, balanced, and delightful. Wine selectionwas adequate for the menu. Service was top notch (thanks David!). Easily worth the trip. Read more

Overall they got great service and great food! They offer limited indoor sitting, which makes for a perfect quiet and cozy date... night. It was very nice to actually go out after so long and receive such an amazing service. Everything tasted delicious. Ourserver was friendly and attentive. The drinks and the Lavender Cheesecake were the highlight of the night for me. Read more
