This atmospheric restaurant, in a timeless two-storey Victorian house with a year-round back patio, was conceived by restaurant industry veteran Nicki Laborie.

First time visiting here and had a decent time. Service was okay, but can be spotty (e.g., water not being refilled almost throughout the whole stay, server not available for long periods, etc.). In general, the food is good, but also some things that didn’t make sense to me. The octopus had a good cook to it, but was too salty for my taste. Not sure if it’s seasoned twice in the cooking process and the combined sodium is just too much in the end if you take in the other components also of the dish. The crudo was nice and light, but I found that the squid ink chips didn’t really add much to the dish. It’s a very subtle taste and I don’t particularly think the texture (specially with how large these chips are) was necessary. Wondering if a contrast in texture could simply be added into the crudo itself. Fries were good. Had a good taste, and was nice to snack on. Does get cold pretty quick considering the thin cut which puts a bit of a timer on that. The pide was overwhelming to me with that sauce which just tasted like it was doused in mayo.

I love love love the patio here! I went for the first time last week and the happy hour was amazing, I really couldn’t believe how yummy the food was given that it was so cheap. I believe the drinks were only like seven dollars as well and they were also really delicious. It’s kind of like the perfect work spot to hang out if you just want to relax and have good food and good drinks.

food was honestly so bland my sick grandfather could have eaten here but the wait time for the food and drinks would have killed him. and really over priced for how underwhelming it was, service felt like it took an eternity, ordered a lamb chop it was super chewy, the fries… were like potato shavings & burnt, confused to who our server was, we had about 5 tending to us for some reason, and then when it came time to pay our bill we couldn’t find anyone and ended up waiting an extra 30 mins just to settle up… kinda embarrassing Bar Reyna :/

I've been here many many times, food is always good esp. the fries!! The vibe here is mediterranean? , i like how the restaurant has this unique concept/theme throughout, in its menu and display. Today our food was served late and when it came out there was a hair on the salad, but they replaced it with a new one. It does get busy on the weekends, so you need to be patient for your food to be served!

Lovely place with delicious cocktails! In general, very nice and more chill environment than in a typical bar. Great food option, although (based on my opinion & personal experience) it’s overpriced. One more thing, as much as our servers were really nice, it felt like they were rushing us out too many times and we were there for less than 2 hours. It’s a great place, which I left with a slightly bittersweet taste; however, it’s worth checking it out!

The vibe on the patio is pretty cool. We tried the lamb chops here as they were one of the most liked dishes. It was good, cooked well, and had good flavours. The service lagged the overall experience.

Came by for brunch on Father’s Day. We ordered the Reyna salad, lamb shank Benny, salmon board and Greek fries. The food was generally okay, but something I noticed is the hot food arrived a little lukewarm. The cold dishes also weren’t as flavourful as we would have liked. (I’ve previously been here recently for dinner and recall that being pretty delicious. So, I wonder if it’s just the brunch items needing some work.) The food aside, the back patio was very comfortable and the table service excellent. I booked a reservation expecting a crowd based on past experiences, but the restaurant was surprisingly empty for a weekend brunch.

My friends and I had a great dinner with shareable plates a Bar Reyna. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our table in the "secret garden" was very cute and well spaced. The happy hour menu pricing was great as well. The food was better than expected although the shwarma could be served with more sauce in proportion to the quantity of meat. Overall I would recommend it for a fun and nice dinner out!
