Captain George’s Fish n Chips Review in Cornwall Ontario by Jamie Gilcig NOV 2, 2015
I don’t normally review food from chain restaurants, but my dining companion wanted Fish n Chips and we decided to try “the new place” which turned out to be our new Captain Georges in Cornwall.

The new decor is open… Continue reading Captain George’s Fish n Chips Review in Cornwall Ontario by Jamie Gilcig NOV 2, 2015

Urban renewal fascinates me so I was keen to check out and see what Esca Gourmet Pizza & Bar had done with the old LCBO across from City Hall in Cornwall Ontario.

I jest, lawyers like to eat too and my learned companion offered some… Continue reading Esca Gourmet Pizza & Bar Review in Cornwall Ontario by Jamie Gilcig JULY 28, 2015
CFN Reviews Bourdeau’s in Lancaster Ontario by Jamie Gilcig & Garden Girl – April 14, 2015
CORNWALL Ontario – Not every restaurant review has to be high end. One of our great CFN writers, Garden Girl (Dawn Jane Guay) cajoled me into taking her out to lunch and we thought what better way to go than do a review.

CFN Reviews Little Caesars in Cornwall Ontario by Jamie Gilcig – NOV 18, 2014
(my medium with lots o toppings) CORNWALL Ontario – I’m spoiled by Cornwall’s Old School Montreal style pizza. Joints like Riverside, North End, Roma’s, Cornwall BBQ and Louis all over the read deal. I’m a pizza prude. It’s pretty near impossible to get me to go to Box Store pizza joints like Boston Pizza, Dominoes,… Continue reading CFN Reviews Little Caesars in Cornwall Ontario by Jamie Gilcig – NOV 18, 2014

Ruby Sushi Restaurant Review by Guest Reviewer Milena Cardinal of Cardinal Law in Cornwall Ontario
I’m a big Sushi fan. I moved around a lot before settling here in Cornwall. Every time I moved to a different city, the first thing I did was look for the best sushi place.

One visit and I was… Continue reading Ruby Sushi Restaurant Review by Guest Reviewer Milena Cardinal of Cardinal Law in Cornwall Ontario
Moon Thai & Japanese Restaurant Review by Jamie Gilcig – November 21, 2013
It wasn’t that long ago that Asian food in Cornwall Ontario was your old fashioned doughy pineapple chicken balls smothered in sugary cherry sauce and spare ribs. In the past five years many of the old school restaurants have closed and evolved. The former Jade Restaurant on 2nd Street East was remodeled and… Continue reading Moon Thai & Japanese Restaurant Review by Jamie Gilcig – November 21, 2013
The 3 Willows Vegetarian Restaurant – A Meatless Oasis in Eastern Ontario by Reg Coffey – October 19, 2013
CFN – This terrific vegetarian restaurant can be found in a small industrial building on the Concession 9 Road between Green Valley and Glen Norman, not exactly a high traffic area for vegetarians, or anyone else for that matter. I found out about it from a customer in that area and stopped on my way… Continue reading The 3 Willows Vegetarian Restaurant – A Meatless Oasis in Eastern Ontario by Reg Coffey – October 19, 2013

Dimitri’s Restaurant Review – 19274 Country Rd 2 – 613 931 1919 – Summerstown Ontario

Mostly known as a pretty village along scenic Highway 2 and the… Continue reading Dimitri’s Restaurant Review – 19274 Country Rd 2 – 613 931 1919 – Summerstown Ontario

Russell Manor Bed & Breakfast Bistro in Morrisburg Ontario – REVIEW by Jamie Gilcig – April 15, 2012
CFN – There is so much more to dining than simple eating. A rushed lunch is very different than a leisurely meal with loved ones or friends; where time disappears over the sounds and smells of a communal meal. True dining in many areas is a declining experience in that less and less places of fine dining… Continue reading Russell Manor Bed & Breakfast Bistro in Morrisburg Ontario – REVIEW by Jamie Gilcig – April 15, 2012
