I had a wonderful time at Queen’s English. The space is cozy and stylish, the service warm, and the food creative with bold Cantonese flavours. Everything felt thoughtful and unique — a perfect spot for a special night out.

I have dined at Queen’s English around five times and each visit has been exceptional. From the friendly and knowledgeable front of house staff, to the skilled and hardworking kitchen team, to the dedicated and communicative management—the whole Queen’s English family share a commitment to ensuring every patron leaves happy. That was certainly the case on my most recent visit, which happened to be a special dinner for my fiancée and me on the day of our engagement. Co-owner Sarah worked with me in advance to prepare a meal with pre-selected courses and champagne, and it was executed flawlessly. It is difficult to pick favorites at Queen’s English because it is all so good. How do you compare the melt-in-the-mouth quality of the steak and egg (served cold) with the luscious octopus scallion pancake or the deliciously crispy whole red snapper with the surprisingly refreshing Bobo chicken? At the end of the day, Queen’s English sets the bar so high, choosing a favorite dish comes down to a matter of splitting hairs. The only thing competing with the food at Queen’s English is the staff. The kitchen timed the meal perfectly, an orchestra of tastes plated and then delivered by attentive and friendly servers. The wine recommendations were on point, and the spontaneous Polaroid picture at the end of the meal (which has now been framed and hangs in our own kitchen) ensured it will be a night we will always remember. Queen’s English is a rare gem of a restaurant, a blend of culture and cuisine, flavor and quality for price, and charming and welcoming ambiance. With all that going on it might be easy to think it may come out garbled—but after several dinners it is abundantly clear: Queen’s English is speaking my language.

We had family visiting from out of town, and we decided to take them to QE. The menu had a really good variety to choose from. We identified all the food we wanted to try and they coursed out the whole meal for us, along with insightful drink pairing recommendations. We found the food and drinks to be really great and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience! This is a "can't miss" dining experience!
