The Curly Willow Eatery

Went there with friends for the first time last night and had an amazing experience. The service was fantastic and the meal was phenomenal. I am celiac and my wife has a shell fish allergy and they did a wonderful job accommodating our requirements. Definitely will be going back!! A hidden gem in Collingwood.

First time visit for a belated-Mothers Day dinner. Nestled on a side street, this location is necessarily gossiped about grubhub. Enjoyed the lobster stuffed mushroom caps for an appetizer. I sipped on a wonderful purple gin-based drink, unfortunately the clever name escapes me. I had notified the attendant of my Celiac Autoimmune Disease. My appetizer came side a warmed gluten free bun with butter. For my main course, the pistachio crusted fresh halibut and carrots with coconut risotto was the star of the show. A buttery Chardonnay paired wonderfully. Once done with my main course, I had passingly mentioned that the meal would be rounded out with a chocolate mousse cake or brownie, the friendly blonde-haired attendant recommended on her next round I try the chocolate caramel cake. Of course I indulged! My party had been checked on, thanked for coming, and been invited to view the patio for future dining. Fortunately, I wasn’t able to view that evening so I will be forced to enjoy a lunch menu filled with gluten-free options on the patio, with another wonderfully mixed cocktail. ;) The decor is right up my alley, for the vibe they seem to want to convey. Laid back cottage jazz meets modern Instagram farmhouse. Would invest in bathroom decor/ lighting for geolocation/selfie posting. A must.
