We enjoyed some wonderful wine and cocktails before our meal. The salmon was delightful, and our entire table agreed that the meatloaf was a standout dish worth returning for! The dessert was truly impressive! We shared the sticky toffee pudding and the cinnamon sugar doughnuts, and both were simply fantastic! The service was friendly, and we will definitely be coming back!

There were screens, but no windows, and the daytime temperatures were in the high 50s, which seemed poorly planned given that the weather had been forecasted for days. The food was only mediocre; someone in our party ordered lamb, and it was tough. As we sat down, we overheard the table next to us complaining about their slow service, making us question how our experience would turn out. I hadn’t visited Region in over a year, and it might be another year before I consider going back.

My wife had salmon and was pleased with it and our dessert was also tasty. I however had a ribeye which came with delicious mashed potatoes and green beans though there were only 4 green beans and could’ve been more. The ribeye was prepared medium rare as I requested but it was literally one of the worst ribeyes I’ve ever had including those at family type restaurants. It was far too fatty even for a ribeye and chewy beyond anything I’ve had anywhere else. Our server was ok but didn’t seem very well trained. She was not attentive to our table in a timely manner. She did ask if there were any allergies she needed to be aware but when our appetizer arrived we had to confirm whether it contained the spice my wife is allergic to, she had to go back to the kitchen to ask. Overall, this is a venue worth trying, but stay away from the ribeye!
