Restaurants near Newcastle Memorial Arena

We enjoyed another memorable dinner at the Ajax Keg where we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. Our server Sabrina provided very professional service, being personable, efficient and knowledgeable. As usual, our sirloin steak and honey mustard salmon dishes were cooked to perfection. Although we loved the new renovations and the ambiance of this restaurant, we did have a large table of somewhat noisy women seated next to us who could be distracting at times. This restaurant does have much better soundproofing than pretty much any restaurant that we've visited, but it was tested by the table next to us. Overall, though it was a great evening and we'll definitely be returning in the future.

Such an incredible date night out! The food was just amazing, couldn’t have been any better. And our server Marty was so personable & friendly! He really made the experience the best. We were celebrating our anniversary & he truly made it special. We will definitely be back soon!

The staff at Kelsey's Bowmanville were friendly, efficient and attentive. I'd asked for a table that a person with a walker could easily access, and they chose one ideally situated. Although our party found that the onion rings and crab cakes had too much outside crunch, the food was fresh, hot and well-presented. Given the cost of food these days, we felt the meals were favourably priced. One of our parties asked for some changes to be made to her meal choice, and this was accommodated graciously and without fuss. We did notice that there was a limited choice for someone who is lactose intolerant - much of the menu includes cheese or creamed sauces. Nonetheless, overall, it was a pleasant evening of good food in a welcoming and warm atmosphere. Kudos to our server, Sarah. We will definitely return.

With a group of eight Ladies - once we received our drinks it was a long interval of 20mins or so before she came back to get our lunch order. Other than that the service was good.

The restaurant was packed and our meals came out piping hot! The food was delicious and the service was great
