    Exception time at Gusto. The service and food are very good. Had the Chicken Milanese. Excellent, portion and presentation was stop on. Filet was also very good. Salmon looked a little on the smaller side, but waitress said it was 6oz. It was a little overcooked and slightly dry. Very consistent.

    I highly recommend the burger. It’s delicious. I got it without the jam. Sweet potato fries were delicious too.

    Excellent cheery service, along with attentive care to understanding my wish for the condiments be placed on the side so I could portion control. As well? Food presentation neat and attractive along with generous portions of the side dish. If you love burgers, order the brioche bun aoli pickle sauce and bourbon jam burger. It’s delicious with the combo of sweet and a bit of dill tart. Home made chips on the side are nice and crunchy pairing well with the sauces to dip a chip! Check out their thoughtfully arranged menu on the website detailing food choice and artisan drinks that will bring you back time and again.

    Gusto Grill never disappoints. One of our favorite nights is Tuesday. BOGO appetizers on Tuesday and Music Bingo every 1st and 3rd Tuesday each month. The food is great. I have some favorites but want to try new things as well.

    Food was fine, but had to wait nearly 45 minutes for service.

    Hello Geoffrey, we sincerely apologize for the wait. Unfortunately, Mother's Day is the busiest holiday of the year in hospitality. We do you hope you plan to return to Gusto Grill sometime in the very near future.

    Thankfully we had reservations & arrived a bit early as it did get busy. We enjoyed music trivia and BOGO apps of ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS and SHRIMP & AVOCADO SPRING ROLLS. Our waiter was nice. The DRUNKEN GRANDMA FLAT BREAD was good, however the GUSTO BOLOGNESE lacked a little flavor & the pasta was overcooked so it kept falling apart when trying to eat. The COOKIE SUNDAE was typical but always a good sweet. The NUTELLA BREAD PUDDING could've used some more nutella. Overall not bad, wouldn't order the GUSTO BOLOGNESE again, but would try the place again for maybe apps & light fare while playing bingo.

    Thank you for your review Tammy and honest feedback, we truly appreciate it!
