| - My girlfriend and I, when travelling, mostly just eat and drink, and Yelp helped us find this immense gem of a place. We came on a Saturday evening, and were told that we'd have to wait to get into the restaurant, or we could sit in the upstairs patio area, so we said sure, upstairs will be okay! What a treat! A really cool space with a huge retractable skylight (closed when we were there, was around 15 degrees) and lots of windows, and cool old garage decor around (it's in a converted garage). It got even better as the sun set around us and the low ambient lighting fired up and the memorabilia along the walls was backlit. Really great ambiance, guys. The service was good, and friendly! They were attentive and gave us good recommendations.
I had the Hamburger al Gusto which was really good, with a rich flavour and was a nice twist on the traditional burger, and came with tuscan fries, which, if you're not getting something off the grill, I'd recommend as an appetizer because they were delicious. My girlfriend had the bolognese pasta, which was just a really high quality, tasty bolognese. Would recommend either entree.
Where we really handed Gusto 101 our money was on the drinks, which aren't cheap but are tasty. I had one of their seasonal beers (can't remember exactly which, but I do remember being impressed at their selection) and we both had several of the mojito 101 and the old fashioned 101 drinks. Both were good twists on the original; one would not think tequila and old fashioned would pair well, but they do!
Altogether we were really happy with our experience and would recommend it.
