[ location / décor ]
The beautiful view of Lake Ontario from the patio is definitely this restaurant's main asset. Right next to Sugar Beach, a quick walk from Queen's Quay, and a nice bike ride from Cherry Beach.
They have large tables for big parties as well as nice little 2-person tables, as well as couches around fire pits. Very nice use of space.
[ service ]
Service has never been poor - can be a little slow on days when the place is filled up, but never an unreasonable wait. I needed a dairy-free meal and the waitress was very kind about switching out the butter brioche on the vegetarian burger for a different bun. I noticed she was very playful with the kids in the family sitting near us and repeatedly and patiently brought more ketchup and condiments.
[ food and drink ]
Cocktails are pricey ($9 - 12), but what you would expect for a place like this on the lakeshore. They are good, summery drinks.
I've had the truffle mushroom flatbread and the veggie burger, both of which were yummy but no more special than typical lakeside bar food.
[ conclusion ]
Food and service are more than fine - but ATG's selling point is definitely the location and the great views.
