Best Restaurants for Foodies in Beaches

We love Gusto 101, so we thought we would go to Gusto 501 to give it a try. The restaurant is unique with its multi levels which my wife and I loved. The food was excellent and our server, Alex made excellent recommendations. We are definitely going back.

An amazing experience all around. Service was perfect (our server Andrea was, in particular, attentive and accommodating). The food on the tasting menu was delicious and the wine pairings were expertly selected. In particular, I would like to thank the staff for their kind, professional, and prompt service. It made our meal and celebration one we’ll never forget.

What can be said about Canoe that hasn’t been said already. Amazing views. Amazing food. Amazing cocktails and wines. Amazing service. Canoe has been one of our favourites over the last few years, in no small part due to Chef Ron’s culinary knowhow and vision. Knowing that today was to be Ron’s last day we had to stop by one more time to partake in some delectable food, delicious beverages, and delightful service. (All from the best seats in the house, on the Chef’s Rail!) Many thanks to Sarah for the service. Thanks to the rest of the FoH team and of course the BoH team, all for taking such great care of us today. And of course, Chef Ron himself for the conversation, and years of wonderful culinary excellence. Chef, you will be missed sir!

We love the Chef’s Tasting menu at Richmond Station! We have treated ourselves by celebrating our anniversary here every year since they opened. It’s a busy spot but the personal attention from the moment you walk in is wonderful. Everyone who attends at the table is so knowledgable about what they are putting in front of you, the attention to detail is awesome. Service is excellent, so attentive and personable but not intrusive. We absolutely support Richmond Station’s no tip model where their pricing includes the ability to pay a fair living wage to servers. The vibe is great, the room is alive, the open kitchen is amazing to watch, but you never struggle to share conversation at your table. We love it and so should you!!
