Best Date Night Restaurants in Renfrew / Collingwood

Notch 8 is a great restaurant to have dinner. We luckily were seated in a booth at the back of the restaurant which was quieter than the front. The menu had a good variety of smaller plates and entrees. The service was very good and efficient and we especially enjoyed the beautiful festive decorations.

Outstanding and unpretentious service. Fabulously friendly and caring. The "Happy Days" menu certainly keeps the cost very reasonable, especially for this high a level of tasty dishes. Both pastas we had, "spicy vodka" and "bolo" (pork/beef ragu) were delicious. We took the bolo home for dinner and it heated up with no fuss nor muss. Microwaving it to reheat without any additions whatsoever and it was perfect!! The burger is fantastic, dripping with yummy sauce and melted American cheese. Fries cooked well and totally addictive. And the bang bang shrimp to start were cooked beautifully with a wonderful spice level and a fine textural crunch. We were happy campers and will be back to try the rest of the menu. 😁

Our server was helpful and accommodated a change to the menu for an allergy. He was patient and around just enough. The food was so delicious and flavourful. My favourite was the taro chips and dip. The prawns were also delish. Even though we were seated on the outdoor patio in December, it was warm enough. Just wish there were slightly more substantial chairs. We were seated on very small stools.

Warm ambiance, welcoming staff, amazing food & cocktails (seafood-forward)

Pizza dough was outstanding. Great experience and good atmosphere along with noise level.
