Excellent Restaurant but Expensive
August 16, 2014We celebrated our anniversary here and we weren't disappointed. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. I didn't find a dessert that interested me so they made one that did. They made our evening memorable.

Attentive superb service and excellent food
August 11, 2014
We were very impressed with the attentive service from staff George at this Grand Bend restaurant, not to mention the calibre of food.
The salad was very fresh, crisp and "sweet" with a delightful blue cheese dressing. The rack of lamb was done to perfection. The duck confit was deep fried but came with a nice salad that really lighten...

Lovely dinner
August 10, 2014We made a reservation at this restaurant several days in advance, and the staff called to confirm that patio seating was okay with us. Already impressed. We arrived 90 minutes early for our reservation, and we were graciously shown to our table by our friendly waitress, Susan. I ordered mussels (a large pot, all perfectly cooked with a delicious sauce)... more

Consistantly great
August 04, 2014We dined at the F.I.N.E. Restaurant last week and were more than pleased. The salmon special, steak dinner and shrimp pasta were all excellent. The service was friendly and professional.

August 03, 2014We got a recommendation for this restaurant from The B&B we were staying at the night. I called late and was really lucky to get a table. We had a warm welcome at the door, they were very busy it was Saturday evening on the holiday weekend, but there were very efficient. Food was just fabulous. I ordered the Ceasar... more

Wonderful spot for terrific lunch
July 30, 2014What a cute little restaurant. Although it is not huge establishment the food and service was very impressive. Hubby had the Seafood Sampler and was very impressed. The rest of our party had the sandwich specials and I had a wonderful burger that was quite large. The option for Stilton on top was a good combo. Would recommend that you... more

Not fine
July 30, 2014This is a quaint small restaurant in Grand Bend - with such good reviews we were excited to try it with friends on a warm Friday evening. Five stars for atmosphere - two stars for the rest. Service was slow, unorganized and sometimes abrupt. Food was mediocre - my "roasted" chicken looked and tasted boiled and the melted mozzarella cheese... more

Wonderful food
July 26, 2014The service staff are really great, the Caesar salad is a MUST have (coming from someone who would never order Caesar salad). We had pickerel for the main course and it was served piping hot with great vegetables. I will go there again and so should you.

Unexpected Urban Quality Cuisine in Small Town Ontario
July 09, 2014
We have been cottaging in Grand Bend every summer for almost a decade now, and always make a point to have a fine dining night out at F.I.N.E.
I would be happy having this quality meal in Toronto, but it is an awesome bonus to be able to dine on such fine fare steps from the stunning vistas of Lake...

Confit de Canard made as in Bearne, S. W. France
June 22, 2014On a stormy, rainy night, my wife and I ate at the F.I.N.E. restaurant and experienced a little bit of France. Many years ago we discovered Confit de Canard in Pau in Bearne and have seldom eaten any as delicious as that in Canadian restaurants. However, in Grand Bend we enjoyed our leg of perfectly cooked, crisp skinned, delicious Confit,... more

Very enjoyable lunch at F.I.N.E
June 20, 2014We have enjoyed lunch here a couple of times in the last few months. The restaurant is busy, even for lunch, so reservations are a good idea. Although located in a casual beach town, this restaurant is a step up, closer to fine dining. We enjoyed the perch special and also the duck confit. Both dishes were very good. The... more

Well worth the good reviews
May 28, 2014Six of us were there for lunch just before Mother's Day. The men had the perch and the women salads, one Bonnie Doone and two Ceasars. The perch was the best I have ever had. The batter was lighter but still crisp. The salads were huge and delicious. The wait staff was friendly, efficient, and not pushy. Clearly this is... more

May 11, 2014Celebratory dining experience with some unique food. Three of us had fish and had mixed feelings about the veggies. Fish was good. Seemed to be mixed about several entrees. Dessert was very good. Staff was very attentive.

Grand Bend was pretty much a wasteland for decent restaurants beyond fish & chips unless you were staying at the golf course operation.
These folks have THE best food in the area. Not a huge place, always willing to tweak a meal to your desire.
You need to go here!

First time there and we will be back
January 06, 2014Small comfortable environment. The food is pricey but for an occasional splurge this restaurant was perfect. Great appetizers- the squash soup and salad were great. My steak was very good. The presentation of the food was outstanding. The staff never rushed the meal. Great spot on a cold winter weekend evening.

November 18, 2013The food at this restaurant is excellent. It is a small but cozy restaurant. The service was good. I think the chef at this restaurant is highly skilled and the portion sizes were excellent. A very good chose of wine is available.

Excellent as always
November 10, 2013FINE is one of our favourite restaurants in Grand Bend. The food is always high quality and beautifully presented. The chefs and staff here really care that your dining experience is top notch. It is always decorated beautifully, with seasonal decor. It's a small, intimate dining experience, and one not to be missed, if you enjoy fine food.

November 05, 2013Quaint little place, high quality meats, decedent desserts. Went for my mother's birthday and had a very enjoyable evening. Our server was very attentive and friendly, she even brought out desert with a sparklers on it (my mother enjoyed that). I would recommend fine for a romantic evening out or a special occasion.

Parking lot dining in out door patio
September 20, 2013Food was quick. Salad was small and at our table they brought a bread basket with 3 pieces for 4 of us. Traffic was backed up on highway during entire meal. Could not hear waitress or each other. No offer of coffee etc- just given cheque . Very over priced and awful outdoor eating area
