The staff were excellent, very accommodating and attentive. We indulged in six appetizers, with the lettuce wraps and short rib tacos standing out as particularly delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for enjoying drinks. We look forward to returning for dinner next time we are in town.

Despite not being a fan of peanuts, the combination of lobster and ramen intrigued me, and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavorful broth and delicious mix of ingredients. However, the Black Garlic Scallop dish ordered by my dining companion fell short of expectations, with messy plating and a lackluster taste. Overall, our dining experience at Nineteen was satisfactory, but there were some missed opportunities, particularly with the scallop dish. Despite this, my love for Nineteen remains strong, and I may opt to visit their St. Albert location in the future for a consistently excellent experience.

The restaurant was quiet as the cooks were preparing for the busy dinner rush or taking a break. It was a perfect time for families to come and enjoy without disrupting anyone. My friends and I ordered from the happy hour menu and tried some specials. We ordered 5 dishes that had some similarities, which is typical for happy hour menus. The noodle dishes were good, but cold noodles can be a bit overwhelming. I enjoyed the tuna on one dish and the ahi tuna on another. The flatbread pizza was decent and the Quebec duck poutine was good if eaten quickly. The moules frites (mussels and fries) were delicious and I could easily finish them on my own. While I can't give a comprehensive review based solely on happy hour, I would say it's a nice place with excellent service. It may be a bit pricey, but I believe it would be worth it for dinner as well. I look forward to returning!

I ordered the 'signature ' tuna twists to start, the noodles had big Asian flavours but overhwlemed the delicate ahi tuna, also they were way too big for a single bite serving. I had the duck 2 ways for my entree, a dish I enjoyed in the past. This evening the confit leg was very dry and the sous vide breast had some chewy unrendered fat, I also thought the grilled bao added nothing to the dish.I am hesitant to return unless the prices come down and the menu changes significantly.

We shared a few appetizers including the ahi tuna twist, short rib risotto, crab cakes, scallops... just to name a few but ALL were amazing. We had a pleasure having Holly as our server and she was amazing. If you haven't tried this gem in the suburbs of the south side, I would really recommend you do!
