    This is my second time visiting NEXT for Sunday Brunch. My last review made reference to having too much food. Was happy to hear that the quantities were reduced with an option to add items. My only complaint was that some food items were served in one dish which was difficult to separate into 2 portions. For example. The blueberry pancakes topped with marshmallow fell apart. Food was excellent as always. Highly recommend.

    I will go back for the delicious food but will be more select in where we sit. We were a party of 4 & celebrating a birthday. We were seated in the back which was so dark we had to use a combination of the cell phone flashlight & the table candle to read the menu & to actually see the plated food when it was served. Surely there must be some way to enjoy the atmosphere & food but not to make it necessary for clients to go to these lengths to see. I was embarrassed that I brought my first-time diners here without being more select about our seating -(I didn't know I had to).

    Absolutely worth every penny for this meal. I was full up until dinner. The pork belly is to die for. We were served by Mr. Blackie himself. Absolutely amazing and a must try. We will be back for dinner.

    NeXt is our absolute, number one favourite restaurant. Every single time we go, the servers are knowledgeable and engaging, the service is fabulous, and the food is INCREDIBLE. It’s always different but always surprising and delicious. It’s also such a treat to meet the brilliant chef and owner - he’s often serving/talking to patrons and has a really magnetic personality. We are always bringing people to NeXt to share this special place with them, and I will never stop recommending it. Can’t wait for our next opportunity to eat there!

    Had brunch here about 5 times. This one was not great. All the others were very good. Each course this time came out lukewarm, not one was hot and the coffee was actually cold when poured and server was kind of unsure how to react. As well were multiple different people (not a couple) sharing the plates and had to ask each and every time for spoons to serve the dishes so we weren't contaminating the dishes. Folks I was with, it was their first time. they wanted to try based on my previous experiences and recommendations. unfortunately (though I will be back, one out 6 doesn't wreck it for me!) they likely will not as first impressions did not match expectation.

    We arrived and were excited for the blind tasting menu. Initially our service was great but as the restaurant got busier our service got slower and slower. We felt the experience dragged on too long. We were disappointed that the blind tasting menu was just items off the regular menu. There was no real intrigue or surprise. The dessert were extra disappointing and missed the mark. There was an odd smell - almost of wet dog - around us the entire evening and was very off putting. We were overall disappointed in our first experience at NeXT. For the price point and reputation we expected much more.

    I went to Next restaurant on Monday night and haven't stopped raving about my experience since. I had been waiting to try their blind menu for quite some time and it surpassed any expectation I had. The food was absolutely outstanding. Easily the best I've ever had. hands down. Every dish was exquisite and unexpected, fine art on a plate, and tasted even better. The service was friendly and engaging. I was thoroughly spoiled. I unreservedly indulged. I am forever ruined. I can't imagine any food experience comparing to this one. If I could, I'd be back there tonight to do it all over again. Highly recommend, and be warned, anything you eat after this meal will be a disappointment.

    Four star +++ An amazing night and incredible food. Loved the experience. Only feedback for Chef & team: The chicken schnitzel did not align with the quality of everything else. Tough - over cooked? disappointing for sure. Would have preferred the chicken schnitzel without the chicken schnitzel. The gnocchi side was amazing.
