The Globe Restaurant — Restaurant in Mono

With new ownership comes change and I understand that. The new renovations are amazing and the new outside eating area is fantastic. My main course was perfect. The reasons I’m docking:

1. The bread they served as we waited was subpar at best - dry and served without any preserves. Compared to the rest of the meal this really stood out as a weakness.

2. In changing the menu to a la carte they surprise previous diners. As we sat I heard other diners asking if soup or salad were included. Of course they aren’t because now it’s all separated out. But if they could meet customers halfway the dining experience would be more in line with what built the wonderful reputation The Globe developed over the years.

3. I understand when restaurants go a la carte - it’s the decision of the new owner. One would hope that prices would reflect what one gets because the pricing is admittedly steep. It is a higher end restaurant serving locally grown foods. But one example: the iced tea (made in house) was unreasonably priced and one had to hound to get any refill. I’m sorry but $3.50 for a sip of iced tea with a glass full of ice is a rip off. However, even though the dinner was slightly above others pricing it was impeccable. The steak was literally perfect and the fresh vegetables were incredible.The dessert pricing though is another matter. $10 for a smallish slice of cheesecake? Yes, it’s made in house fresh but for the size served that’s a big “nope.”

The changes at The Globe could lead them to a better reputation than ever before. But to do that they should really replace that bread immediately and try to offer a bit more to the customer for the premium price they are paying. Again, the atmosphere is a large improvement and the presentation of the dishes was really a delight to look at but at this point I’m not sure they are worth the price you pay. I look forward to seeing if they respond to customers feedback or simply try to bully through riding on the coattails of the reputation...

Over the past decade, I have frequented the Globe on and off. Initially, it was a delightful country-style restaurant that served hearty and delicious meals, always bustling with regular customers. However, it underwent a transformation into a more upscale establishment with a talented Toronto chef who prepared exceptional high-quality dishes. Unfortunately, the chef abruptly left, leading to yet another change in the restaurant's ambiance and decor, which now feels stark and contributes to the noise levels. Despite this, we have dined there for both dinner and brunch. While the service was satisfactory, we were disappointed with the poorly crafted cocktails. In particular, the Caesar we had during brunch was subpar. On the other hand, the dinners we had were enjoyable, but the Eggs Benedict during brunch, which happens to be my favorite brunch item, fell short of expectations. I have ordered the Eggs Benedict twice, and although the eggs were fresh and the smashed potatoes were delicious, I expressed my confusion to the server regarding the tough and thin peameal. I was informed that it was deep-fried, which I found perplexing. In my opinion, Eggs Benedict should feature a substantial piece of ham or peameal that is not thin and deep-fried to the point of resembling a potato chip. It was nearly impossible to cut a bite of egg and peameal together. I am uncertain if this issue has been rectified since our last visit. Admittedly, we have not returned since that brunch, but I have noticed that they now offer brunch and dinner every day. We may consider giving it another chance as we appreciate supporting local establishments and the service has always been excellent. However, considering the abundance of food options in the area, if I am going out for brunch, I expect to enjoy my Eggs Benedict. Paying $19 for a dish that I will not relish leaves me with other viable...

We have enjoyed this restaurant for many years but hadn't been there for quite a while. We visited The Globe with a gift certificate on Sun July 22 We were the only patrons. I told the waitress I was allergic to shellfish she came out to inform me that the chef said "there is no shellfish anywhere on the premises' I was rather surprised by her response and the chef's response nevertheless we ordered dinner My husband ordered mac & cheese that's what came a child sized bowl of mac & cheese nothing else I ordered the trout I got what appeared to be salmon that was so salty it was inedible When the waitress took away our meals, mine barely touched, she made a comment I started to explain to her but she obviously didn't want to hear We were charged for the meal my husband ended his meal with a lukewarm stale coffee we stopped on the way home for a burger. We decided we would not return I know this can be a difficult job and I wanted to give them a second chance we have enjoyed this restaurant for many years and have had family functions here. Yesterday we returned with another couple and their two children. It was fantastic, our server Anne, made the meal so enjoyable, she steered us in the right direction with what meals we would enjoy what beverages we would like she was humourous and kind and patient, she engaged the children. The food was superb The server made all the difference the whole place appeared different just because we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves The new patio is lovely.and we look forward to our next visit but I'll call ahead and make sure...
