What a find! The decor is upscale with a fireplace in the back (though I still preferred the front booths). The staff is very personable without being intrusive. And the food is WAY above par -- especially for gluten free options! Many items are already GF and most others have gf options. BEST seafood chowder in all of NS (and I have tried every GF chowder out there). Also, I want to say how reasonably priced everything is here. Refreshing, considering how overpriced most restaurants are today.

Awesome food and fabulous service. Highly recommend the blackened scallops as an appetizer and the smoked sausage and chicken penne. Our server was Marley and she was a pleasure, so friendly and very attentive.

Lovely place to enjoy a delish meal, with great service. I had the lunch special, a chicken club wrap and ceaser salad. Nothing remarkable about the dish. It was good but nothing about it to distinguish it from any other wrap and salad. What was incredible though ... and ehy it gets a 5 star for food, was the options available, and the delight of a candy cane creme brule! They ONLY make this gem for the Christmas holiday season. This desert makes the visit worth it. Yum!

Resto Urban Dining -Bedford Another lunch date with my sister. We decided to try Resto this time and they didn't disappoint. Our waitress was fabulous, super friendly and helped with the menu. I went with the Sundried pasta- Sun-dried tomatoes and garlic sauteed in butter with wilted spinach and cream on fettuccine, I also added the chicken. It was really good!! I ate the whole thing and was stuffed. My sister Brenda went with the special which was a pulled chicken wrap and side ceasar. I did take a bite, and it was quite flavorful for pulled chicken. We decided on desert as my sister was interested in the carrot cake- which was really good. I got the chocolate truffle torte. I asked for it to go, but with a fork so I could sneak a small bite. The waitress came out with a plate, she said they laughed out back at my request and wanted to present it well so they cut it in half. Half for take home and half for me to eat there. Everything was delicious. I would definitely recommend. Service and food Food adventures with Kara on Facebook.

We have dinner here with friends on many occasions. Service has always been top notch. Servers are friendly and helpful. The baked haddock is the best I have ever had. Would not hesitate to go to Resto Urban.

I never leave reviews but this was my fourth time at the resto and honestly the service and food was amazing every time. I never had to wave down a server and always enjoyed everything I ordered! My water was always topped up, and was always treated with kindness from everyone. Had an awesome experience every time. :) happy costumer here
