Durham Restaurants

We had a lovely experience tonight, Mallory was so lovely, personable, and answered all of our questions about the drinks and food. She helped us make great choices and we really enjoyed everything, especially the Pirate Queen cocktail! Thank you so much!

We were celebrating a birthday and were so pleased with the extra attention including a complmentory, delicious dessert. The service was first class (Daniel) and the food and wine delicious. We will be repeat customers.

The Gate is a restaurant experience that anyone who loves food, appreciates quality and understands service needs to set on their calendar in permanent rotation. I've been to many local restaurants over the last decade and this ranks among the highest. Think Langdon Hall quality with less seriousness but similar qualities and flavour. We had some drinks to start (bubbly and a paper plane-well worth it, shared the papardelle bursting with flavours with a miniature pâte en croute with venison(we could not decide so they brought this out) with a miniature dense sauce of dates which I thought an obvious play on HP sauce, amazing. Then we shared a version of surf and turf with steak and salted cod with mushrooms that was set off with delicate fingerling potatoes in a rich unxious sauce. Topping it off with a dessert hitting all points of sweet, soft custard, crunchy praline and all places in between. All plates shared, and amazing. While a group laughed it up nearby sipping wine and chatting, our window seat was set to the quiet drone of a few cars moving through the quiet single intersection downtown, we felt like this special place was just for us. You should make the journey if you are in Toronto, Halton, Owen Sound, Fergus, Orangeville, Shelburne, Creemore, Walkerton, Alliston Caledon, or from anywhere north or west GTA in the coming weeks and months. We want this place and we are lucky to have it. You will not regret your experience at The Gate. Tell them you are coming, they made it a personal and amazing experience. Make your way on hwy 10 veering West. Bring a date or a group of friends, go west they said, we did, and it was delicious
