    Seared Scallops
    Jeslyn X.

    It's a hotel restaurant inside the Georgian Bay Hotel. The place, including the hotel overall, was a bit dull with old-fashioned decor and gloomy lighting but was well-maintained. Seared Scallops: The scallops could melt in my mouth and weren't chewy at all. Combined with the creamy sunchoke puree and crispy potato shreds, it was tasty. Top Sirloin: I had a 6oz medium-rare with sautéed mushrooms and roasted cauliflower. The beef was a bit dry and chewy because of a thick cut, but the meat quality was good. The mushrooms and cauliflower tasted good. House Cut New York Striploin: 8oz medium. The beef was way more tender and juicier than mine. Chocolate Mousse Cake was up to par. The wines were okay too. If you stay around Collingwood, this place would be a decent choice for a classic lunch/dinner. Food (quality, creativity, consistency) - 3.5/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - 3/5 Ambience (interior design, cleanliness) - 3/5 Service (courtesy, knowledge, timeliness) - 3.5/5 Value (quality vs. price) - 3.5/5 OVERALL - 3.3

    We had a very enjoyable time at this restaurant. The food was good and the waiter was efficient and friendly. The kids especially liked the lamb. Do not order the green cocktail drink. Whatever it was, it was way too sweet! The kids also liked the crispy fries. We all enjoyed the octopus & potatoes as well. Don't get the escargot here. It's not done well. Overall, the whole meal was good and everyone had a nice time.

    Sirloin Oscar

    Ate here tonight and we were not disappointed. We were staying in the Georgian Bay Hotel which this restaurant is housed in. We had stopped into the bar the night before and were warmly greeted by the staff so decided to make a night out and have a fancy dinner. Our server was Chris whom we had met the night before and swapped fishing stories. He was very attentive and made excellent suggestions as we went along. We started with a couple pints of Stella and an appie. We split the Spring rolls between us which meant we got one each. The dipping sauce was tangy and excellent as were the rolls. We both ordered the Sirloin Oscar, her rare and me medium, and both were cooked to perfection and very well presented. My wife had the potatoes au gratin (very tasty she says) and I had a loaded baked potato. We had a nine ounce glass of house Malbec each and it was great too. Chris twisted our arms into trying the bread pudding for dessert which we shared and it was very good. Friendly caring staff and excellent food. Highly recommend.

    Overloaded wedge salad!

    What to do when you've spent 8 hour in a car and are starving? You whip out Yelp and look for a good steak house for dinner. It's the only way to be able to unwind. Note: Walking into Gustav with yoga pants, bright pink running shoes, and hoodie is completely acceptable. (Hey, I was in a car for 8 hours and we went to eat before we checked in!). This place was completely packed for 7pm on a THURSDAY night but it is inside of a hotel so that might explain it a bit. At first glance I didn't think I would find anything that I wanted to eat. Our waitress came to greet us and I spoke with her asking her opinion. I wanted to know what she like. She asked me how hungry I was so she could narrow down the suggestions and I told her that I was a meat and potatoes kinda girl and not a salad kinda girl. She made a couple of suggestions, but I was still hesitant since every dish has a bit of a twist that I didn't think I would like, but eventually I settled on the wedge salad starter and sirloin with fully loaded baked potato as the side. My salad arrived a few minutes later and it was delicious. Can one complain that there might have been too much blue cheese and dressing on their salad? Most places skimp on the dressing and toppings but not Gustav's. My steak was cooked medium and its my fault because I asked for it. I was supposed to ask for medium rare. The steak was actually really good with the exception that I asked for it to be overcooked so the edges were a lot more cooked than I like. But that isn't their fault so I can't deduct stars or complain. I ate my steak and moved on with my life. The loaded baked potato could have been loaded with a bit more bacon and cheese and less sour cream but whatever. It didn't stop me from eating. There was no room for dessert for me but my boss loved the flourless chocolate cake. The food was so good we were considering going back a second time but we had prior engagements. Oh. They had a live band and they were pretty good :)

    Love the vibe! This restau/bar & grill is located at the lobby of The Georgian Bay Hotel so very accessible to people checking in. Every Saturday they have a live show so that was a plus during our stay! Drinks we're expected to be expensive, i just wish they put less ice LOL cos the vodka did not quite kick in. But, overall I will recommend.

    We found this little place and so glad we did it's a family owned business. That's been here for…read moremore than 45 years. It's right down the street from the Living Waters resort. The atmosphere is straight out of the 80s and a little dark, but that was OK. We had a nice open window near our table and our server. Ashley was absolutely wonderful wonderful.. Had great options for both wine and food and I couldn't believe that you would get a salad bar, a soup of vegetable and a potato with your meal and if you got a steak, the mushrooms came with it. Absolutely enough to feed a super hungry bear. We both got the filet mignon and they were absolutely delicious. We have in bacon. They came with steamed carrots that were cooked perfectly. The mushrooms were delicious. The salad bar was small, but delicious dressing was very savory. Prices were more than reasonable I don't think a lot of tourists know about this place or go there. It seemed most of the people there were elderly. They had a beautiful second room for what seemed to be a private party. We might even go there again tonight for dinner it was that good and again, especially from the US. The prices are beyond reasonable.

    I don't normally leave reviews but the food was so bad I have to warn others. Been there twice,…read moreterrible both times. Service slow food is terrible. 30 minutes to take drink order another 30 to get drink. Over an hour and a half to get food. The place was not busy 1/2 of tables in open section were empty. Other section was closed with no lights. So the place was less than 1/4 full. No reason for such a long wait and this is a regular occurrence from looking at a review from a year ago. Bread is from a bargain grocery store, bland and tasteless. Salad bar is pathetic, you can get better salads prepackaged from from grocery store. Salad dressings taste worst than No Name Brand. Carrots were boiled to the point where they were mush and the orange colour was faded to a pastel colour. Seafood chowder was cream and and bits of potato, no seafood. "Cook" does not cook to match order but cooks the way he wants. Bacon wrapping steak was raw. Steak was ordered medium well and arrived rare. Lobster was over cooked to death. No one at the table got the steak the way they ordered it. Portion size is large but getting more bad food is not a good thing. Food was not seasoned. A beginner cooking at home can make a better meal. Do not waste time or money. Plenty of better options in Collingwood.

    Okkkkie dokie Came…read morehere for a family reunion invitation. My elders suggested the place. Mind was thinking hmmm will it be a good place? Drove up with the family to join the shin dig. The place is nestled along the coast associated with a marina. The complex the restaurant is housed in reminds me of an assisted living vibe that was repurposed as a family resort. Kinda like if you added some water slides and pools to the side of an ol folks home. We walk in, wife and kids begin chirping about how the restaurant looks ok but is giving off some retirement home, but! The patrons are mostly family. We are seated at the back of a nice room , however our back wall adorns a large lcd screen emblazoned with a digital beach scene. My back is to it, so it doesn't bother me too much. Now that ive set your expectations to "questonable"we get to the food. Wife and i not expecting much. We go with the recommendation from my parents to try the tomahawk steak- for four people, kids ordered salmon rice veges, and spaghetti dish, The tomahawk takes about 45 mins to prepare. Comes w a Cesar salad, and we also ordered a calamari appetizer. The house bread is soft warm and fresh. W a sid eof roasted red pepper butter. 5/5 Calamari has light batter w. A nice sauce chipotle mild? Very yum- 5/5 Ceasar salad on point w the right composition of dressing, and fresh greens! 5/5 Kids: My sons who are picky 1. Salmon rice broccolini dish- completely gobbled up. 5/5 2. Spaghetti w carbonara sauce. 3/5. He said it was ok. Maybe too heavy on the cheese. Tomahawk - came out cruise missile style and landed into my top steaks crater. This thing was pre cut, on a meat board , w delicious gravy in a gravy pot, side of perfect mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables? Maybe some were also grilled . The meat was perfectly done a medium- light red , tender, touch of blood. Made to order. Meat was all eaten , as were the veges and the mash 6/5! Considering my expectations were low when i was judging this place on its looks. Also tried a side of the mushrooms- well cooked w good aroma 5/5 Desert was a chocolate lava cake - light cake part and rich chocolate lava part-4/5 Needless to say. Exceeded expectations. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Fresh food for what we ordered. Hidden gem at this seafood restaurant was the tomahawk steak- MVP!. Give this place a try!!! Service was good 4/5
