Restaurants near Courtyard by Marriott - London, Ontario

This was our first visit to Papi's and it certainly won't be our last! The entire evening is an EXPERIENCE. From the entrance and talk from the butchers, to the decor and the service, let alone the food. It was incredible. We had someone named (Christanth?) I know I am blanking on her name but it was a spin on Chris and she was fantastic. Took the time to understand what we wanted and brought us a mocktail menu and an alcohol free bubbly to start. Lovely! The bread and pickles were so good. The bread was kind of crispy and so flavourful. The beet pickles were so tangy and sweet at the same time. Then we had 6 oysters - loved how the lemons were wrapped to avoid the seeds - it's the small things that make a difference! Then we shared the table side caesar - what a performane and John was so happy to have us ask questions and chat. The tastiest Caesar salad we have ever had! I had the halibut and my husband had the chicken. The potatoes, sauce and vegetables were cooked to perfection. We also ordered the mac and cheese to try it as well as the brussel sprouts. I don't know what kind of witchcraft they do on those brussel sprouts but they were out of this world good. We shared a creme brulee for dessert and the extra touch of "happy anniversary" on the chocolate was so sweet. There was an incredible saxaphone player during service and he had the right amount of volume in the room. The decor is dark and broody like Al Capone era and the fresh roses and lamps on each table were a lovely touch. We haven't had a meal like this in years - the Red Rabbit in Stratford was our long standing favourite ( they are no longer in operation) so I am glad to have a new place to go for an experiencial dining experience.

Great atmosphere with good service. Food was Ok, although maybe not great at this price point. Salad lacked flavour and steaks did have grizzle and rather bland. Decent restaurant and would go again, just not for steaks.

Always a pleasurable evening. Never disappointed .

We always loved Dimi's and hadn't been there since the renovations - the restaurant looks amazing!! All the drinks and food we had were amazing. Dimitri our server was so kind and attentive.

It was very good , had a great time every onewho worked there was really nice. But the bar staff really needs to LEARN HOW TO MAKE A BABY GUINESS. becauae its supposed to look like a Baby Guinness.
