Sliced into thick meaty pieces, it's adorned with a wasabi aioli that gives it Japanese French flair. The amazing tuna made the shrimp lettuce cups ($17) seem severely underwhelming. Sure, it contained great fresh ingredients like delicate butter lettuce, poached shrimp, and cool vermicelli, but it seemed to be missing something - like a mango slaw (or even the coleslaw they serve with the fish and chips) - anything to give it colour, interest, and more flavours. Cliffside smartly heats their plates, so the mains arrive and stay piping hot. But it does mean proteins like the seared salmon ($42) should be undercooked to finish, so it's not completely cooked through when it arrives. Nonetheless, the fish had a nice crust and was still flaky inside. I wouldn't have thought to marinade salmon in a rosemary beet mixture, it ends up creating a natural tasting sweet and savoury glaze. Overall, the main is a healthy but filling dish finished with soft creamy stewed lentils, roasted asparagus, and a light citrusy beurre blanc sauce. Our seafood meal continued with the fish and chips ($24), which had a nice airy crispy beer batter. In lieu of the traditional chips, Cliffside serves the fish with shoestring fries, it's slightly softer texture almost reminiscent of McDonald's spuds. Online reviews generally commend the restaurant's food but complains about service. Our Friday dinner went off without a hitch with someone around whenever we needed. The only anomaly was Cliffside includes a bread plate and butter knife with their place settings but never actually asks if would like or serves any carb. Perhaps a bit strange, but hardly anything that would mean a flaw in their service.

Pizza One's chicken bruschetta ($16 for a medium) starts with a garlic butter base that's topped…read morewith chunks of chicken, onion, tomato, parmesan, and mozzarella with a sprinkling of Italian seasoning to provide a pop of freshness. Overall, the pie has good flavours (the parmesan adds such a nice salty finish) and the toppings are well spread out allowing each bite to incorporate all the ingredients. While Pizza One has tons of developed recipes, my husband always goes with his custom pizza ($18.50 for a medium): pepperoni, mushroom, onions, and extra cheese. His wasn't as impressive as the chicken bruschetta, the pepperoni were larger slices, which meant they needed to be toasted longer as the soggy centre ends up tasting like bologna. With the extra cheese, Pizza One should consider applying less marinara to ensure the crust doesn't become doughy and soft. They are not a thin crust pizza, but their crust is still slimmer than what's typically found at the chains. The chicken bruschetta's crust was nice and airy, and the bottom lightly toasted until it almost had a Pizza Hut crunch and flavour but without the greasiness and heaviness. I've never had it myself, but my husband claims it's like New Orleans's pizza crust.

Luckily Patrick had not turned off the oven yet and was kind enough to make us a small Donair pizza before wrapping up.

The pizza itself was absolutely amazing. Perfect balance of toppings, cheese and crust. It's so perfect that even after 4 slices, I don't feel bloated. I really liked the sauce and the wonderful ingredients that make it such a great combination. Definitely need to come in - am sure it's one of the best in town.

Boston pizza was overwrought with tourists (and I'm not personally a fan of the chain), so this seemed like the best option. It's a family run business, a polish family owns it and they live upstairs. Communication might be a bit difficult and the service was a bit slow, but the food was good, the drinks were just what we needed and we didn't have to wait 2 hours at the Boston pizza to be seated. There were some bees and flies out on the patio that were bothersome, but hey it's Muskoka! One of the women who worked there brought out water and pieces of turkey out for our pup to enjoy, which was really nice of her. We ordered the almond pastry, a few beers, the polish sausage, pierogies and a cappuccino. All were great. They closed pretty early, around 3p, but not sure if it was specifically because were there on thanksgiving.
