Good service, tasty food, and a spectacular view. We shared French Onion soup, spicy edamame, and for our main courses an Alfredo pasta and a pork belly dish. Everything was delicious.

The Gastronome is a gem of a place. Pretty much unchanged inside since it opened in the 1970s, the food has. It is contemporary, multi cultural - think American-French-Asian inspired - and absolutely delicious. Popular with locals as well as tourists, and if the weather...Read More

This facility is delightful if you like an old world feel. Staff is friendly. Full bar. Varied menu for all palates. My dinner was very good, the salmon sandwich. Great for singles, couples and families. It is pricey, but it IS a resort town restaurant.
