Service was absolutely perfect. Very friendly and gave us recommendations on things to do since we were visiting the area. Menu was different and exciting. I enjoyed all of the food we ordered but even if you end up not loving the food it is worth it to just try something different than your normal restaurant. Highly recommend!

This is a great restaurant in the heart of downtown St Catharines. Great atmosphere, great cocktails (tried The Dutch Cup), great service, great shareables (tried Fusion Fries). A restaurant that could so easily be moved to downtown TO but oh, so glad that it's close to home. Love not having to worry about leaving a tip since it's a living wage restaurant. Definitely a must try!

First time eating at Dispatch. We had a slow start never having used Tock before but the friendly waiters and even chef came to very patiently assist us multiple times. The food was fantastic - beautiful presentation and bold delicious blend of flavours topped with fresh herb accents. Can't stop gushing about it. Highly recommended.

We stumbled upon this beautiful restaurant tucked away in St. Catherine’s. Prior to the pandemic we had a wonderful experience dining at the chefs table where Chef Adam and his crew would chat about the passion of the meals and where the inspiration comes from. Let’s just say that every dish was out of this world! When indoor dining opens up, I highly recommend going in and dining!In terms of the outdoor patio, the menu has been elevated. We had the following dishes:1. Korean BBQ fried chicken Sando in Bao with seaweed salad and dynamite sauce.2. Hamsi (Fried anchovies) po' boy , onion salad, pickled radish. On a toasted baguette.3. Eggplant dolma with burnt yoghurt.Everything was delicious! They’ve really created a neat patio and space where I felt so comfortable. With the unfortunate part of the people in need, just greeting them and continue your evening, didn’t disrupt us at all. Everyone was respectful.

I was long overdue for my first visit to this highly-touted addition to the dining scene of not only St. Catharines, but the entire Niagara region.~All I can say is that somehow my already sky-high expectations were well exceeded. My kids just loved the multi-layered flavours too, trying and raving about each dish (below).~Carnivore, vegetarian, vegan, no matter. There will be something mind-blowing for you here, accompanied by a varied and creative beverage selection (their wine list hits all of the notes I remember loving) both non-alcoholic and fully-leaded.~An innovative online ordering platform updates as you continue to order, making it easy to avoid surprises and eliminating the need to wait for l'addition when you're reluctantly ready to call it a night.~And, gratuity-inclusive pricing is always a welcome indicator of a properly compensated staff.~In case you couldn't tell, I *strongly* recommend Dispatch, including as being deceptively good value for money.~Emerging from COVID (for the time being, at least), this is a place to support, not only for being a progressive, socially conscious and community-focused business, but also selfishly wanting to return again, and again.~•Fried Dumplings - Beef & Celery (5 PC) Aromatic Coconut Curry Sauce, Peanut-Shiitake XO, Sauce, Cabbage, Green Onion & Sesame.•Chermoula Pork - Chermoula spiced pork, yoghurt, eggplant & chickpea, pickled green beans in tomato.•Burrata - Fresh burrata, herbs, roquette & pine nut pesto, BUZZ hot honey, sour dough toast•Chicken Parm - Smoked paprika leeks, smoked mozzarella, Zing Hot Honey, fresh herbs & pickled onions.•Olives, Chorizo & Mussel Bruschetta - Anchovy Stuffed Olives, Mussels, Chorizo, Honey Butter Sourdough Toast, Potato Chips, Harissa Dressing & Herbs.•Salted Caramel Cheesecake - Liquid dulce de leche cheesecake, salted caramel cookie crumb, salted caramel sauce

The food is absolutely top notch (up there with some of the VERY best I have ever had… period). I was raving about it after dinner, on the drive back and now on the couch. The web based order system is fantastic (and I certainly think here to stay). Staff is friendly and extremely attentive. I would honestly order everything on the menu.Bonus: tip is priced in and Chief Adam is forward thinking and humble. Happy to support such a great business.

A really amazing place. The cocktails are some of the best you'll find this side of Toronto.

Popped in for a late afternoon Sunday brunch - place was empty but service was great. The food - we had the Fries, Calamari, and Baked Brie - was unreal. Very easily sharable or edible on your own. The seaweed Fries was one of the most unique things I have had in ages.Lots of very small unique craft brews as well - not your run of the mill 'major craft' beers - lots of different stuff here.All in all, great and highly recommended.

The service and atmosphere was amazing, and the food was incredibly flavorful. It's a great place to get a small bite to eat and enjoy some delicious cocktails. Will definitely be back!
