Megan's at the Griffin - Kingston

This place came highly recommended by my girlfriend, who visited with her friends a few days ago and couldn’t stop raving about it. Naturally, I had to check it out! I went in the evening after a long day at work and treated myself to a smoothie and cookie dough. Both were absolutely mouthwatering and delicious sweet enough to remind me of my girlfriend! A lovely lady named 'Madu' served me, and her kindness, warmth, and politeness made my visit even more enjoyable. I would definitely come back to Megan’s, not just for the amazing food and cozy ambiance but also for the exceptional hospitality. Highly recommended!

DISAPPOINTMENT, NOT RECOMMENDED! SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE! This review comes after a second sitting. The first time I dined there it was a minor disappointment due to long food wait times, portion sizes that weren't filling, and a general lack of value for money just barely scraping by due to a very good cheerful and attentive server and a very good cookie dessert. That first time was during Saturday lunch time and was for two adults and two children. A bad online review wasn't warranted at that time but I would have never privately recommended Megan's to friends. This time around it was for two adults, three children, and we were there to celebrate my son's birthday over dinner. As mentioned, we would never have gone back but our son specifically wanted to have the cookie dessert for his birthday. Well, the restaurant was notified of the birthday when the reservation was done, weeks in advance, and did nothing to acknowledge it on the day. The restaurant was practically empty, yet our mains took forever. Critically we were not told when we were seated what was no longer available on the menu, which caused an issue when my son asked for the cookie dessert. There are some basics in food service like acknowledging patrons when they enter and seating them quickly, offering water and drinks, checking for allergies, telling people what's the special (if you have one), checking in on a table from time to time and telling people what is no longer on the menu when passing the menu to seated patrons. If we had known that Megan's was out of the cookie dessert, we wouldn't have bothered sitting through their mediocre, and ultimately expensive food. What a disappointing failure it was to see my son choke back his upset while a tear silently rolled down his cheek on his birthday, only to then pay for it when the cheque arrived! Megan's is a pathetic poor showing of a restaurant when compared to the other dining establishments around Kingston. Do not dine here. Save your wallet and taste buds for more deserving restaurants!

Another fabulous dinner at Megan’s. Can’t believe I haven’t left a review before today. The service we had Friday night was fantastic! Especially our server, he was so friendly and sweet. The food has always been top notch and a good value. Can’t get enough of the Za’atar Hummus and it quickly became a favorite of ours that now it is a must order if we are there for lunch/dinner. The deals for drinks at happy hour are also wonderful. As are the weeknight dinner deals! We will most assuredly be coming back again and again.
