Food was very good. Overpriced but that’s expected everywhere. Derrick our waiter was great. Only sent back gelato as it tasted very watered-down, not creamy like gelato is suppose to be. We’ve been here a few times and will definitely be back.

We had the most wonderful experience celebrating our wedding anniversary! The waiter went above and beyond to make sure our night was absolutely perfect. From his attentive service to his thoughtful gestures, he made us feel so special throughout the evening. The food was excellent—every dish was beautifully prepared and delicious. It was truly a night to remember, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you for making our celebration so memorable!

Collingwood

About the restaurant

It all started in the late 1800’s.. a young Gustav Johann Garbe got on a boat from Bremen, Germany to New York, destined for the North West Territories of Canada. Gustav stood up and stood out, always with family, friends and community at the forefront of his mind. His drive, passion and core values have directed four generations of self made entrepreneurs to where we find ourselves today.

John Garbe, in the name of his great grandfather, has assembled a team of exceptional professionals. The menu has been carefully developed, relying on local farmers and community for unsurpassed cuisine. The service experience is firmly rooted in family and friends. This is Gustav.

Can’t say enough about this restaurant. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful especially the cast iron brisket hash and eggs benedict. Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a great breakfast that comes with great service and all for a very reasonable price too.
