The four of us had a great dinner at The Garden! The food is mostly delicious and the prices are lower than I would have expected for such gourmet fare. There were gluten-free options which I appreciated. Vegetarian, too, but Vegan was not labeled on the menu. I thought my beet salad would have benefited from something crunchy like candied nuts, and could have used a less acidic and more flavourful dressing but YMMV. The cauliflower and chickpea croquette appetizer was amazing! My friends loved their cocktails! We would have liked to have seen some local beer and wine options though. Everyone who worked there was lovely and very accommodating, and our server Joshua was great! The restaurant is very stylish, and we were super comfy in a booth. The only slight issue we had was that there wasn't enough space in the very full restaurant for everyone's wet winter coats. We are not from Chatham, but will definitely be back in the summer to enjoy those awesome patios!
Charming Italian spot offering generous portions, knowledgeable servers, and a lovely ambiance that keeps everyone coming back for more.

I have celiac disease and have to be gluten free. Had the avocado toast with poached eggs and salad. Delicious and no side affects. They had GF toast. Didn't ask about GF toaster so assuming all good since no reactions. Great place. Highly recommended
Vibrant atmosphere with standout spinach dip and attentive service makes this spot a must-visit for a delightful experience.

Excellent food and service. They were able to accommodate my girlfriend’s celiac order, made gluten free teriyaki beef stir fry. The chef came out to make sure she was enjoying it, and she was. I had the spicy pork stir fry and it was delicious. We will definitely be back.
A chill spot with attentive service, perfect for pizza lovers and unique touches like complimentary mini Nutella jars.

My friends and I had such a great experience at this Oven 360 location today on a holiday Monday. It was well staffed with friendly attentive staff. We each had a different food issue and they accommodated us all carefully - even making sure the oven surface was clear to cook gluten free crust. The food was yummy, too! And they willingly gave us to-go boxes for the leftovers.
We went to Tilbury Pizza Boy to try it out for a possibility for our daughter's wedding. We were not disappointed.
The owner was happy to discuss our needs and give us a quote. We ordered and went across the street to the little park to wait for it. The owner delivered it right to us pretty quickly.
My husband and I are both gluten-free, and he cannot eat tomatoes, so it was made with garlic butter instead of pizza sauce. We ordered a regular gluten-free and a cauliflower crust pizza so we could compare them. They were both delicious, but I preferred the cauliflower crust. We had some a few hours later, and it was still very good cold.
The rest all had regular pizza, and even my mother-in-law, who does not usually like pizza, though it was very good.
This spot offers delicious pizza options that keep fans coming back for more, making it a must-visit for pizza lovers!

As someone who can't have gluten, Red Swan is a fantastic place to get some gluten free pizza. The sesame seeds go great with the cauliflower crust, which is fantastic. Above all, the staff are friendly and attentive, making for a great restaurant overall.
Located by the tracks, this spot is a cozy gem known for its hearty specials and a menu that keeps locals coming back.

Eli’s Trackside Restaurant has had the good fortune of being one of two restaurants in Chatham located alongside the Canadian Pacific Railway!
After going to church, my wife and I sat down for a homemade style meal at the 41-year-old breakfast/lunch service provider on Queen Street. I ordered the Sunday Special - Schinkel’s 7-ounce Smoked Pork Chop featuring two Sunnyside-up eggs, home fries with an upgrade for Gluten-Free Toast and coffee. Avec Pièce de Résistance condiment: Frank’s Hot Sauce.
When our waitress delivered my plate, the Schinkel’s Gourmet Meats’ Smoked Pork Chop blew my mind! I can’t imagine it was really only 7-ounces, it must have been at least 9-Ounces!
So why didn’t I take a picture of it……Pure Greed on my part…. I just couldn’t help but dive right into the beautifully grilled delicacy.
{Please see the attached portion of stock-photo, depicting its former uncooked visage!}
As we left the restaurant, ringing in my head was the owner’s reply to my selfish inquiry about how frequently does the Schinkel’s Smoked Pork Chop appear as a Special….. About a Couple Times a Month…. A Couple Times a Month….couple times….
I’ll be back…. be back….back!
I have a very difficult diet due to having celiac.
Our waitress Jessica, was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. I truly appreciate the amount of effort that Jessica put forth.
