Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Clarington

We absolutely LOVED our experience at Giulietta. My fiancé and I went for my birthday and sat at the bar. Everything was beautiful and TJ the bartender was super knowledgeable and so fun! He helped us with cocktail & wine choices and let us know all of his favourite things on the menu. He also went above and beyond when I was floored by the olive oil - he got the bottle from the kitchen so I could take a picture and find it for home! We had the burrata & fired artichoke to start (do not miss the burrata!!), the lobster risotto (one of the best I’ve had) the chestnut ravioli and Giulietta pizza - all fab! Finished off with the Torta Della Nonna. We’ll be back!

I gave the food a 3 star because it was not hot enough for 1 of us, however, the manager remove the total cost of all 3 meals, which made everyone very happy, plus he offered to replace all meals at that time. I don’t think a business could have done more to satisfy a customer, especially since one of us are at the keg for a total of at least 6 times per year. We will definitely return. Experience's are not always perfect, but it was the attention by the manager regarding the issue that make it okay.

The music, drinks, vibe and view are great! But then we ordered food.😬All our mains came out at different times, the server couldn’t answer some menu questions and forgot orders. Some dishes were cold, some were over-dressed and some were bland. Should have stuck to cocktails.

Have wanted to try this restaurant for a long time. Each dish was beautifully presented, showcasing a variety of flavors, colors, and textures. Surprisingly, the dishes incorporated a lot of Asian flavors paired with French techniques. Most of the dishes were excellent and unique, though there were a couple of misses. The service was good, with attentive staff. The ambiance was decent and comfortable, not suffocating or uncomfortable at all. Overall, I enjoyed my time and dinner here.

Always great to see the staff at Baxter’s. Pernov was a great host, we chatted as he showed us to our table. Dinner was awesome, we enjoyed the Beef Tenderloin Rigatoni, it was very delicious! Zivian made sure that we were well taken care of! Chef Drew took time out of his busy schedule to chat for a few minutes! Great service as usual!
