About the restaurant

Gatsby’s is an ultra fine dining destination where opulence meets intention.
Behind the curtain, guests are immersed in a transportive experience that celebrates craftsmanship, storytelling, and sensory discovery. Every detail—from the atmosphere to the service—has been thoughtfully designed to evoke elegance.
Starting at $165, the menu offers a choice between a 6-course or 9-course tasting, along with a 6-course vegetarian option — each thoughtfully composed to highlight seasonal ingredients and regional specialties. The menu evolves regularly, reflecting both the rhythm of the seasons and the chef’s creative direction.
Curated wine pairings and expertly crafted cocktails elevate each moment, while our exclusive partnership with House of Hazelwood brings rare, aged Scotch Whiskies to the forefront—each pour a tribute to legacy, rarity, & refinement.
Gatsby’s is more than a meal—it’s a journey through luxury & culinary artistry

We have dined at 77 stars worth of Michelin star restaurants, at least 5 3-stars and 5 2-stars. Gatsby's would deserve 2 stars at least. Excellent dishes, exquisite preparation, impeccable service. Definitely "worth a detour" and a fine choice for a special occasion.

Absolutely loved the steak bites. Double the meat, add extra crostini and I would have been happy just to eat those. Butternut squash ravioli was lovely, the sauce with tomatoes and mushrooms didn't overpower the ravioli.

We went for the live jazz music and date night experience. It was lovely. To have the tuna appetizer, the short rib was flavourful and the cheesecake or tiramisu was incredible. Make sure to get the half price bottle of wine and the espresso martini was definitely worth it.

It was quite a nice time. Went there with my boyfriend for his birthday and the themed drinks were very creative, although I think the price per portion was a bit steep. Good ingredients and food so that makes up for it a bit at least.
