Garden Gate

I've been here many times, and always find myself spending too much for my appetite. This is because you get large amounts of food for your money, and hence, it's easy to overestimate how much you need to get/to spend. Food is delicious, it's a very "greasy spoon" kinda place, has a unique charm.

This is a great place to eat any time of day. Good family restaurant or to just sit and get some work done. It is a beach staple. Also has excelent breakfast and the price is right as well.

This restaurant has been here for a million years but has recently undergone major renos which give it a more open feel. Commonly known as the "GOOF" due to a neon sign malfunction, it is near the end of the Beach and right across from the Fox Theatre for before or after movie meals and snacks. The menu has been upgraded but the same wonderful staff (one has been there forty years) are there for you. A great place in a neighbourhood that can be a bit snooty. The GOOF isn't snooty, even with the renos. A great place.
