| - The beach is a bit of a wasteland for good restaurants. I guess that's why none of the restaurants there ever make it to any "best" lists, which is so disappointing! There is always hope a couple of new ones, this and an Italian one, La Sala, that are worth trying!
I think this restaurant, Carter's Landing, is a great addition to the area, although I kind of didn't want to like it for some reason...bad press maybe? Should I really care so much about the lease agreements and big chain businesses...look at the LCBO, Shoppers Drug Mart, 2 Starbucks, another Tim Horton's, St Louis Bar and Grill all in the beach? The fact is that Carter's Landing is right at Woodbine Beach, easy access location, and has plenty of free parking! Bonus! It is one of the very few restaurants in the whole of the GTA that has waterfront views too, which is a huge plus! We decided to try it for lunch.
Well, we really liked it! It has a great interior with lots of quality, spacious, well planned seating. We shared nachos, which were made with quality ingredients and we each had a Caesar salad, which was really good too (panchetta!). Service was friendly and fairly efficient although the usual large chain "up sell" training was included...oh well, no pressure, just say NO! Drinks were a little slow in coming but hopefully they will iron that out.
Yep, we will happily visit again and hopefully the quality, cleanliness and atmosphere of this fabulously located restaurant will remain consistent.
Oh, and by the way, it would be great if they had food and drink specials!
