If it wasn't 8 hours drive away I would have dinner here every week. This family owned restaurant offers great variety, fresh ingredients (produce is grown on the property) and the desserts are to die for. The service is second to none. Expect a wait for your order, but it's all good, the wait is worth it for the meal... More

Always enjoy going to this restaurant even though it means a long commute for me to get there. Lovely for ladies luncheons or special family celebrations.

Wholesome food including vegetarian & very good service. We make a point of visiting this restaurant every year but this year it was 3 times.

My partner and I visited this restaurant a few weeks ago and we had a wonderful time there. Everything was perfect! The service was awesome and the food was like no other! It was a great blend of flavours and textures and the serving sizes were perfect. With the removal of cell phones from the environment, the atmosphere became conducive... More

Our server was young and charming, our grilled whitefish was good (not great), the garden was pretty. But, I ordered a glass of pinot grigio which was clearly "off ". I told the server who reported this to the owner who came to our table and said nothing was wrong with the wine, then asked me if I knew anything... More

Our week on Manitoulin is alway complete with a fantastic meal at the Garden Gate. I can not say enough about the the quality of food each time we dine here from the salad to the dessert. The whitefish this vist was cooked to my perfection and the potato and vegetable were equally as good. I wish we lived closer... More

We walked through a beautiful garden to get to the entrance of The Garden's Gate family restaurant and were given a warm welcome upon our arrival. We ordered whitefish and rainbow trout for dinner, and both were very good, although we didn't particularly care for the sides that accompanied our meal. The desserts looked delicious but we didn't have any... More

We have been going to this restaurant just about every summer for the past 20 years and it never disappoints. The high standard of food served and the selections of beer/wine/soft drinks offered have never slipped over the years. A warm welcome and friendly service continues from year to year. This is a little hidden gem in northern Ontario has... More

First off, those who think the food here is equal to those in the big city, don't know good food. Went to this resto for lunch this past Thursday. First off, the carpets in this restaurant are so dirty, its gross. They need to remove them. You can clearly see the stains which doesn't make for a good dining experience.... More
