Here 今度 means something like next time, soon, or on some upcoming occasion.
In this sentence, it gives the idea of:
- next time
- one of these days
- the next chance I get
So the sentence is talking about a future opportunity to go to that restaurant.
Be careful: 今度 can have slightly different translations depending on context. It does not always mean a specific scheduled next time in the strict English sense.
その means that and usually refers to something close to the listener, or something already mentioned in the conversation.
So そのレストラン means:
- that restaurant
- the restaurant we were talking about
This is different from:
- このレストラン = this restaurant
- あのレストラン = that restaurant over there / that restaurant both of us know
In many cases, English just says the restaurant, but Japanese often uses words like この / その / あの more explicitly.
