   The service was particularly slow this time around, despite being there quite early when the patio and resto was mostly empty. Drink orders took way too long, wine list is in flux so didn't have any of what we wanted on the list. Water glasses were not refilled at dinner and had to keep asking and it took an hour to get our food order in. We like the spot, but just wish they could up their game on the service.

   The restaurant was sweltering…. 80 plus degrees all evening during the meal…. Three people one meal about 15 minutes after the first two were served… so nothing special about the experience…. Wait staff overly apologetic …. No need to respond wth useless platitudes….

   Great new restaurant in Oakville.. but their AC was not working properly so it was SOOO HOT inside. The other issue is the noise. Music is way too loud. Maybe keep it lower until 8 or 9 and then raise it up, but at 6pm people don't come for atmosphere of very loud dance music.

   A bit disappointing. I was expecting a lot better food, since it seems always busy. Oysters were good, but waitress didn't know where they were from. Waitress was very nice, but very short on culinary vocabulary. Long wait for our dinners. My breaded veal cutlet was very salty and the "al dente" vegetables were very hard to get on my fork. Very noisy, i guess it's a "buzzy" restaurants for young people looking for a place to have loud conversations.

   Overpriced for bar food. Cocktails are NOT made by a mixologist, so the prices are way too high for the quality of the drinks.

   I always order the Cobb Salad, dressing on the side. Unfortunately the salad came already dressed. My friend finished her mussels before my replacement salad showed up. The waitress said she would talk to the manager to see what could be done. Nothing was done to offset this unfortunate incident. Comping the coffees would have been a nice touch. I will definitely go back as the vast majority of experiences have been outstanding.
   

   BeaconResponded 1 day agoThanks for the feedback Sharon! So sorry to hear that the dressing came on the salad and we were slow to get you a new one. We hope to have you back again and give you a stellar visit!

   We sat at the bar and enjoyed the best espresso martini first. Then ordered, upon recommendation of general manager, the burger which was amazing. Our side was the beet salad and it was so yummy. We also tried the potatoes which were decadent. Hope to go again next time I’m in the area!

   We have become regulars at the beacon every month or so we enjoy dinner we order the same thing every time which we find sort of humourous but we just love the things that we order Thai mussels, beet salad, and we share a steak Frites our wine is always outstanding a little high in price for our preference Thomas was the highlight providing very attentive and friendly service and managing our takeout items beautifully We look forward to our next visit

    Shareable appetizer was underwhelming. Quantity for price wasn’t what I expected. Reserved table indoor and the one offered was in the corner and maybe the worst table in the restaurant. Place was empty so didn’t understand the poor table offered. We opted to sit outdoors, but no music with traffic didn’t create a great ambience. Indoors with a better table and some music would have improved the dining experience. Food was okay, but was expecting better given all the favourable reviews. Thought the service was great. Very attentive staff. Just disappointed with the food and ambience. Will try some other restaurants as there are many other options in the same area.
    

    BeaconResponded on May 29, 2023Thanks for your feedback, we're sorry to hear you didn't have the best experience. We typically have music going on the patio too, so we're very sorry to hear that wasn't the case for you. Hopefully we can give you a better experience with more favourable dishes next time!

    Lovely lunch with only two identified inadequacies. Ordered lamb (really excellent) but they had no mint sauce!! Ordered but they had no biscotti. For a restaurant of this caliber that was a surprise. Other surprise was the ‘front’ door was at the back but that was not a big deal and the bar one walked through looked was nice.

    The Beacon is now our go to spot for top quality delicious food with a great wine selection. The service is always top notch with a knack for personalizing the experience with special touches. We love the large spoons to gobble up the sauce with the mussels as an option to soaking up with the terrific bread. I hear the bar has dancing going on Friday and Saturday nights and that sounds so fun. Cheers!

    The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, and I felt comfortable right away. To start, I ordered the oysters and house soup, and they were both exceptional. The oysters were fresh and flavorful, and the house soup was rich and comforting. For my main course, I ordered the steak and truffle fries, and I was blown away. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the truffle fries were crispy and delicious. And, of course, I couldn't resist my all-time favorite dish, the tuna tartar. It was so fresh and flavorful, and it just melted in my mouth. Throughout the meal, our server, Bella, was attentive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. And, the bar mixer, Alex, made the best spicy margarita that perfectly complemented our meal. The manager, Richard, also stopped by our table to make sure everything was to our liking, which was a nice touch. Overall, I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant. The food was exceptional, and the service was top-notch. Thanks to Bella, Alex, and Richard for making it a pleasant dinner that I won't soon forget. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.
