    My niece's daughter had her first communion and had her celebration in this restaurant. We had a private party room and one can choose from the set menu. For starters one can have either soup of the day which on that day was butternut squash soup, organic greens with balsamic vinaigrette or caesar salad, main entree of blackened salmon, veal or chicken marsala, vegetarian risotto or clarkson chicken penne and for dessert pana cotta or tartufo. We all enjoyed the delicious and flavourful food and will surely go back to this restaurant. The staff provided excellent customer service.

    Went for lunch and opted for set menu of entree, main and desert and it was indeed fantastic experience and delicious food. Chefs have done splendid job in enhancing flavors and combination with basic ingredients. I also noticed waiter changing table cloth after every customer and this is rare, commendable and still kept reasonable prices. Kudos to them and highly recommend this place. We will visit whenever we’re in this area for sure

    Was looking for good seafood in Mississauga area and happened across Clarkson Mediterranean Bistro online. Read the reviews, studied the menu and decided to book a table. Extremely pleased with the food, the service, and everything around this restaurant. Our first experience was amazing. We had the grilled calamari and the fish of the day which was a European Bass. Both were excellent and exceeded expectations. We will definitely return. Sorry to say that we did not get our servers name, but he was a tall gentleman and his service was just the right amount of attentiveness.

    Very disappointed by this visit. I ordered a vodka and cranberry drink and received just the cranberry juice, when I complained the waiter refused to accept my complaint. The appetizers were quite plain in taste and not worth the price. We brought our toddler with us and ordered him the chicken tenders and French fries, French fries were drenched in oil so we obviously could not serve that to our toddler. Ordered the shrimp and snow carb linguine but apparently one tiny claw is all they decided to add to the dish. The linguine also had zero flavour just a bunch of pasta with a few veggies and three shrimp. Never coming here again and I would not recommend.

    We picked this restaurant to celebrate an anniversary and the food was terrific. We had the manhattan seafood chowder and butternut squash soups to start and the grouper and 12 ounce steak specials as mains and shared a creme brulet for dessert. All were cooked perfectly. Service and ambiance was nice and we would go back again for sure. Nice spot to grab dinner in Clarkson. Would recommend.

    Went to the Clarkson Mediterranean Bistro for lunch. The atmosphere on the inside is very nice, and it's divided up into two rooms, one with a nice bar and TV along with tables, and the other being a dedicated dining area. The service was very good, with attentive wait staff, they would come back a couple of times to make sure we had enough water, condiments, etc. The food was very well cooked and presented, everything looked great. One of the dishes was stuffed upon order, and the waitress took the time to let us know that because of how freshly prepared it was, we would expect to wait a bit longer which was very thoughtful. Ample parking, however it's located in the back lot. Also worth noting that while there are no halal meat options, there are plenty of delicious vegetarian options. Leaving 4/5 stars for as the only downside was the menu item we ordered was $2 more expensive on the final bill. Potentially the menu was not updated for a long time, however it would have been nice to know upfront.

    This is a little gem. I picked it for a family luncheon and was so happy I did. From the moment we walked it we were welcomed by our great server Laura. She was fantastic and made our luncheon fun. The food was delicious and tasty. We would definitely dine in this restaurant again. If you go, you will not be disappointed.

    A group of 7 of us came to the Clarkson Bistro for a birthday dinner and our experience was truly unforgettable. As soon as we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted with kind and welcoming faces. I ordered the Ossobuco, and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. As amazing as the food was, our server, Laura, made our experience that much better. She was so helpful and extremely attentive, never leaving our glasses empty, and consistently checking in to see how we were doing. This was one of the best dine-in experiences I have ever had and I will definitely be returning. Thank you very much!

    Food was alright, but the service could have been better, the old Italian waiter forgot to bring me my drink, his mannerisms were like he’s doing us a favour for going there. He wouldn’t let me take the hot sauce to go and said “it’s house made” he thought the receipt would get stolen took forever slow. Learn to smile and have good manners he’s doing this job too long and forgot how to give real customer service

    I have been to the Bistro 3 times. The first 2 visits were exceptional. The 3rd visit wasn't great. Veal Marsala sauce was watered down. The mushrooms were canned not fresh. The waiter did not provide a list of specials at the beginning. The vegetables were great! My husband had the shrimp and scallops dish which he did enjoy. The service was not provided with cheerful interaction. I am not returning to the restaurant.

    My family and I ate here yesterday and were very happy with the experience. Our server was Laura, who was amazing!! Even though it wasn't on the menu, she heard me say I wanted an espresso martini, and she kindly made me a delicious one. She was attentive and kind to us throughout the meal. Laura is really a delight! The food itself was very good, particularly the specials. We found the restaurant to be clean and nicely quiet (although we were there for a very early dinner). We would definitely come back another time and would probably sit on the patio next time - it looked lovely!

    What a great surprise hidden on the Lakeshore amongst the many eateries in Port Credit. A mixture of pure “downtown” class and friendly personal service. Laura, our server, made us feel like we were dinner guests in her home. The food! Must be tasted to be believed. For us, it was a Valentine's Day special outing and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We will be back.

    Great restaurant to enjoy a fancy meal or special occasion with friends or family. Great dining experience and service. Call in advance to ask if meat is halal, it depends. There are vegetarian options also. I ordered that veal chops and beet salad which was extremely well done and delicious.

    Glad to be back at this place. Had a good time with a few coworkers. Thomas took good care of us. He made good recommendations for main course items and wine pairing. He was very professional and knowledgeable. I had the steak cooked to perfection and also tasted a few slices of different pizzas.Definately we will return.

    We had lunch there yesterday and ordered the cod special. It was delicious :) Our server Laura was attentive and very professional. The chefs are top notch! Great atmosphere for dining and visiting with friends and family. Easy free parking outback. The quality of food and service will draw me back again and again when in town. Thanks so much to all at the Bistro who made my family luncheon so wonderful!

    We received prompt service from the moment we walked in the door. The food was a delight, every dish was a feast for the senses. We had a server named Sheri that made the experience even better. What a star! Thank you Sheri! We came from Saskatchewan and we are thankful to have found this place. 5 star food and service! Highly recommend!

    Had an amazing dinner at this little gem. I ordered the stuffed chicken supreme and my oh my - it tasted AMAZING. Wish I took a photo of it beforehand. On top of the amazing food, we had the best service from our waiter Alex ... thank you Alex for making our experience the best! We will definitely be back :)

  • 4/5 Victoria S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an early weekday dinner here. We had friendly and excellent service. Mushroom Stout Soup was rather bland but my Seafood Risotto was lovely, very creamy with lots of shrimp, scallops, and mussels. My husband enjoyed his Fusilli Ricardo, though would have liked to find a bit more prosciutto in it. Will likely go again.

  • 5/5 John M. 7 months ago on Google
    Food was amazing, our waitress Laura was phenomenal. From the time we got there to the time we left, she made our experience so enjoyable. The food was 10x better than your average restaurant. Everything was fresh, delicious, cooked to perfection and prices were reasonable. Will come back again soon.

    We did our friends dinner here and we were so happy. Beautiful food, wonderful service, calm and pleasant atmosphere. We will be back over and over again. If you haven't been make sure you try it! I had the calamari, the special, a sundae and coffee....delicious!

  • 5/5 Muhun S. 2 years ago on Google
    After seeing all the wonderful reviews, we visited this Italian/Mediterranean hidden gem for our first anniversary. We tried Grilled Calamari, Stuffed chicken supreme and Crème Brûlée for desert. Dijon mustard cream sauce came with the stuffed chicken was absolutely amazing. Thank you Rachel for your excellent customer service. We can't wait to go back again.

  • 5/5 Rupan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice ambiance for the dinner. The quality of the food is very good and the price is very reasonable, much cheaper than the comparable. It has open kitchen so you can see while your food is being made.
