    It's a little pricey, but the service was great at the 20 King.  The only reason I know it's called 20 King is from the receipt.  I swear it was called something different on the outside.  

    We drove 7 hours to Kitchener, and then walked down the way from the Delta Hotel.  This was suggested by the desk staff there.  My wife had a mushroom pot pie, and I had the wild boar schnitzel.  If you're looking for big American portions, don't come here.  I got plenty of schnitzel, and some interesting root veggies scattered around my plate.  They had Steamwhistle as well as two Mill Street brews on tap.  I totally liked both of these brews.  I thought the Steamwhistle was going to be another cold American lager, but it was actually a nice take on a Pilsner.  I could taste no corn in it.  Very nice.  The Mill Street Tank Farm ale was sort of like a hoppy amber.  I enjoyed this very much and even had another one later in the week in Toronto.

    Atmosphere is nice - quiet, with subdued lighting.  I would say it's casual leaning towards upscale.

    I totally recommend this place.

    I know a lot of people in KW feel some sort of nostalgia for this place, but I can't see why. The food I've had there has ranged from lacklustre to downright gross - how about the white bean and bacon soup, which consisted of a few beans in bland broth and one fatty string of sub-par pork? I was there for a networking event once and the washrooms had no running water. Ew.
