Reviews for Dispatch in St. Catharines, ON
I was long overdue for my first visit to this highly-touted addition to the dining scene of not only St. Catharines, but the... entire Niagara region. ~ All I can say is that somehow my already sky-high expectations were well exceeded. My kids just lovedthe multi-layered flavours too, trying and raving about each dish (below). ~ Carnivore, vegetarian, vegan, no matter. There willbe something mind-blowing for you here, accompanied by a varied and creative beverage selection (their wine list hits all of thenotes I remember loving) both non-alcoholic and fully-leaded. ~ An innovative online ordering platform updates as you continueto order, making it easy to avoid surprises and eliminating the need to wait for l'addition when you're reluctantly ready tocall it a night. ~ And, gratuity-inclusive pricing is always a welcome indicator of a properly compensated staff. ~ In case youcouldn't tell, I *strongly* recommend Dispatch, including as being deceptively good value for money. ~ Emerging from COVID (forthe time being, at least), this is a place to support, not only for being a progressive, socially conscious andcommunity-focused business, but also selfishly wanting to return again, and again. ~ •Fried Dumplings - Beef & Celery (5 PC)Aromatic Coconut Curry Sauce, Peanut-Shiitake XO, Sauce, Cabbage, Green Onion & Sesame. •Chermoula Pork - Chermoula spicedpork, yoghurt, eggplant & chickpea, pickled green beans in tomato. •Burrata - Fresh burrata, herbs, roquette & pine nut pesto,BUZZ hot honey, sour dough toast •Chicken Parm - Smoked paprika leeks, smoked mozzarella, Zing Hot Honey, fresh herbs &pickled onions. •Olives, Chorizo & Mussel Bruschetta - Anchovy Stuffed Olives, Mussels, Chorizo, Honey Butter Sourdough Toast,Potato Chips, Harissa Dressing & Herbs. •Salted Caramel Cheesecake - Liquid dulce de leche cheesecake, salted caramel cookiecrumb, salted caramel sauce Read more
Some of the best food I've ever had. Every dish was a flavour bomb to say the least. 11/10 ????
First time eating at Dispatch. We had a slow start never having used Tock before but the friendly waiters and even chef came to... very patiently assist us multiple times. The food was fantastic - beautiful presentation and bold delicious blend of flavourstopped with fresh herb accents. Can't stop gushing about it. Highly recommended. Read more
The service and atmosphere was amazing, and the food was incredibly flavorful. It's a great place to get a small bite to eat and... enjoy some delicious cocktails. Will definitely be back! Read more
Service was absolutely perfect. Very friendly and gave us recommendations on things to do since we were visiting the area. Menu... was different and exciting. I enjoyed all of the food we ordered but even if you end up not loving the food it is worth it tojust try something different than your normal restaurant. Highly recommend! Read more
I have always had an amazing experience here from service and food. Your dishes are served at an efficient rate, in addition to... your first bite are always filled with an explosion of flavour. You cannot go wrong. The cook and bar manager were verypersonable. We had short but sweet conversation but are always filled with immense love for what they do. ???? it's such a gemin Ontario. I would always make the trip here and of course visit the wineries. Make a day out of it, it will never disappoint. Read more
The food is absolutely top notch (up there with some of the VERY best I have ever had… period). I was raving about it after... dinner, on the drive back and now on the couch. The web based order system is fantastic (and I certainly think here to stay).Staff is friendly and extremely attentive. I would honestly order everything on the menu. Bonus: tip is priced in and ChiefAdam is forward thinking and humble. Happy to support such a great business. Read more
Popped in for a late afternoon Sunday brunch - place was empty but service was great. The food - we had the Fries, Calamari, and... Baked Brie - was unreal. Very easily sharable or edible on your own. The seaweed Fries was one of the most unique things I havehad in ages. Lots of very small unique craft brews as well - not your run of the mill 'major craft' beers - lots of differentstuff here. All in all, great and highly recommended. Read more
