This was the second time we've invited guests from out of town to join us at The Common Stove. Always a fantastic dinner of incredible flavors and plating creativity. My bride and I shared two entree's: The Halibut and the Duck rolled into pasta shells. Everything was divine without exaggeration. Service with Mel was impeccable: friendly, knowledgeable, and with us at just the right times without hovering. Even the sticky toffee pudding to complete the experience was enjoyed by all four of us..... we joked about asking for a straw for the sauce! We'll be back of course because we love it and there is always more to the menu to enjoy!

Collingwood

About the restaurant

It all started in the late 1800’s.. a young Gustav Johann Garbe got on a boat from Bremen, Germany to New York, destined for the North West Territories of Canada. Gustav stood up and stood out, always with family, friends and community at the forefront of his mind. His drive, passion and core values have directed four generations of self made entrepreneurs to where we find ourselves today.

John Garbe, in the name of his great grandfather, has assembled a team of exceptional professionals. The menu has been carefully developed, relying on local farmers and community for unsurpassed cuisine. The service experience is firmly rooted in family and friends. This is Gustav.

Overall a very good meal and experience! I felt like the steak could have used more of a sear to develop a crust but the internal cook was on point
