We were a party of 4 last night. Extremely busy. The patio is small & very nice however they need to get a few umbrellas as sun moves & customers play musical chairs. Server was friendly & lovely but either not trained well or simply put, overwhelmed due to not enough staff for him to to be properly attentive. I will stress again though that he was really really nice & cheerful & we enjoyed him. A busgirl finally brought water to the table it sadly, spilled it all over table in her attempt to pour it - but stuff happens however I would recommend that they be trained to simply leave the jug/vase & let us pour which would free up her time to help others - she too was cheery & sweet. Our table wabbled & Rhein couldn’t find anything to put under it (our 2 bottles of wine were in danger of spilling - finally after 4 requests it was fixed). Now to the food. Good size portions - I had the mango tuna which was delicious however the dressing was extremely salty & almost ruined the perfect flavours of the tartare & mango as the salt being so overwhelming - tone it down & it would have been absolutely perfect. The grilled watermelon salad was really good as was the burrata salad - both wonderful. The grilled shrimp included large shrimp which was nice but they were a bit undercooked & overall OK but a bit underwhelming. Our Mains included 1Ravioli stuffed with lobster which was very tasty. We had 2 fish of the day was Trout & had a lovely presentation of a potato & spinach cake & colourful cauliflower - delicious. Also had the seafood fettuccine was in fact spaghettini not fettuccine (which suited me as I prefer it so that was a pleasant surprise) with smallish scallops (a tad overcooked) & nicely sized shrimp (perfectly cooked) all tossed in a heavily scented basil pesto (which I loved) but again, there was far too much salt in the pesto which was disappointing as I loved the high & really strong basil notes that the perfectly cooked pasta was expertly tossed in). A couple of notes here - I recommend to add more seafood - mussels, clams, etc for presentation & appearance. I order seafood pasta a lot on restaurants & again, a reminder to chec/reduce the salt
Our bill including 20% gratuity was $615 - (we had a bottle of Stag’s Leap & a bottle of Santa Margherita which drove the price up).
Overall, the menu is diverse which I like & with a few tweaks (like lower the salt & customers can add to their taste if they want to) as well as a bit more organization with the staff (when ordering the most expensive bottle of wine on the menu, you should never have to pour it yourself - so some training is required), the place could be great. Yes we will return. Their pizza looked amazing as did their burger & huge wedgies. Portion size is good & great surroundings with lovely staff. Just seemed that the staff was a tad frantic & that was somewhat distracting but it is likely the busiest weekend of the season.
I want to go back for oysters & pizza which if I read correctly, are the ONLY menu offerings for customers who choose to go on Thursday’s - nothing else on the menu is served. I am OK with that as I happen to...
Read moreTHANK YOU! Thank you so much for providing us with the perfect Wedding.
Beveragino is a spacious, unique and beautiful Muskoka Wedding venue. With both a view of the lake and waterfront access, the moment we walked into the venue, we knew immediately it was for us.
When it came to planning our wedding, Matt and Nico responded promptly to emails, eased our anxieties and provided anything and everything we could have asked for. All the ideas that we bounced off them, they contributed with very helpful responses. Customer service at the level they provided is not commonplace anymore. We felt like they truly cared about doing an outstanding job for us and our guests. Beveragino was flexible and accommodating when it came to menu options, drinks and bar options, decorating and scheduling.
Last but not least.. The FOOD WAS AMAZING! All of our guests commented on how wonderful it was. It is hands down the best restaurant in Muskoka! Matt and Niko were incredible and helped to execute the day perfectly. They constantly checked in with us to make sure we had everything that we needed. Overall, we were extremely happy with Beveragino and how everything turned out during (what could have been) a very stressful event. We cannot...
Read moreAs promised we returned this past weekend for our anniversary dinner. After a terrific lunch experience we were interested to find out how the dinner would hold up. Awsome comes to mind!! Our server Avery was delightful, informative, and helpful. Appies were shared muscles and a ceasar salad, both were extremely tasteful and well presented. Mains were steak and salmon each were cooked to perfection. Best steak I've had in recent memory. Throw in a few mojitos, a beautiful sunset over the water and it was the perfect dinner!!
Stopped in for lunch today.....and we are extremely happy that we did! The service is excellent, thank you Leah!! We sat on the patio with a lovely view of the water. We started with the Mediterranean Salad that was fresh, colorful and tasty. Our mains were the salmon and the lobster ravioli. Both were excellent in presentation and taste! Combined with cocktails this experience was awsome!! We were so impressed we made reservations for our anniversary next month. If you consider yourself a foodie this is a must see that should be...
