It was our first time there and we decided to go to take advantage of the free lockage and lovely weather. We arrived for a late lunch but we enjoyed every moment of it. Four of us ordered the fish and chips while our daughter-in-law went for the burger. Everyone was satisfied with their meal as there was a generous amount of food and the prices were very reasonable. I had lunch the day before at a restaurant in Ivy Lea and it did not measure up to Hotel Kenney. Thank you for a wonderful lunch, Hotel Kenney!

Limited menu; but everything that came out of the kitchen looked like it was prepared and served with pride. Service was great as well. The wine list was good; although not everything was available. You may be able to bring your own. The view is onto the water at the locks at Jones Falls, part of the Rideau system. This is another restaurant that I will definitely try again.

For those with a smaller appetite, there were chicken, tuna and egg salad sandwiches. The setting on the water is beautiful. As this place is open during the tourist season, it is best to check availability before visiting. The staff were friendly, the food was good.The hotel, away from it all, between Kingston and Ottawa has been around since 1877 and is a world heritage site. It is a refuge for those with a desire to return to nature and check out some of the locks on the Rideau Canal.

The service, despite being busy on a Friday night, was welcoming. Though the menu is not extensive, the dishes we tried were all delicious. It is recommended to call ahead to confirm their hours of operation as they are not always open.
