    Lemon Meringue Pie
    Bryn T.

    This restaurant doesn't look like much while passing by it; however, once you enter it has a cute diner aesthetic with modern finishings. They've had the same staff for quite some time and to this day I feel like they have all served me at some point and are all extremely nice as well as accommodating. The owner seems to be there almost everyday (at least he has been every time I've gone), this definitely is a good sign knowing he puts much effort into the success of his business. Finally, I can't even begin to tell you how amazing all their food is, their chefs are magical. I definitely recommend their cheese sticks and pies! Their portions are ginormous for the price, this restaurant is definitely a must-go!

    This is a great country diner not far from the Lansdowne exit on the 401. all of their dishes are home made from scratch, including the most amazing dinner rolls. Lots of wonderful pies and baked goods, and the food is not salty which is nice. That is what the salt saker is for if you want salt. We had the hamburger steak plate and the home made turkey pot pie. Very flavourful with home made gravy, fresh vegetables and wonderfully seasoned. Worth the short detour off the 401. Portions are huge. The correct address for the diner is 898 County Road 2, Lansdowne, Ontario, for some reason Google sent us to 2 different empty lots no where near the diner but we did eventually find it at the aforementioned addtess.

    We loved this place!! The service was so good and the egg salad sandwich was honestly one of the best I've had in a while.

    Homemade and huge, with a flaky crust and delicious filling, the slices are almost a meal in themselves.

    Stonewater Pub - Half-rack ribs with poutine

    Stone Water Pub offers a charming setting right in the heart of the Thousand Islands, with a…read morebeautiful riverside location, cozy interior, and genuinely friendly service. The food is great -- fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of place you want to like. That said, for the price, the portions feel underwhelming. The smashburger, while tasty, is about the size of a standard McDonald's cheeseburger, and a handful of fries just doesn't cut it at this price point. A bit more generosity on the plate would go a long way in matching the quality of the experience with the value. Still worth a visit -- just don't come too hungry.

    We stopped by here for lunch after our cruise nearby. It was walking distance from the dock and we…read morefigured we give it a try. I ordered the grilled chicken club with poutine. I only recall trying poutine when I was younger so I figured I'd give it another try. They have Poutine as a whole order, but I was glad to see that they have it as a side option. The food entries comes with a side of your choice (fries, house salad, sweet potato fries (+$2.99) , caesar salad (+$3.50), or poutine (+$3.50)). The portions of the food were huge, so you definitely get your bang for your buck here. Each dish was neatly placed and was so good! The bread from the club was crunchy yet soft and the chicken was moist. The ingredient felt very fresh! The poutine was a tad salty, but I think that is how poutine is? Since it's gravy and cheese (two salty ingredients). It was just the perfect amount to share with the family since we all just wanted a little bit to refresh our taste buds. My family also ordered the Chipotle Chicken Caesar Wrap with the house salad ($19.99); Fish and Chips ($19.99), and Grilled Chicken Club with the house salad ($19.99). The chipotle chicken caesar wrap was HUGE. My mom said it was very good and that it wasn't too overpowered with all the flavors and sauces. I was able to try a bite of her house salad and was also impressed by the fresh ingredients of the salad. You can tell it is a good salad when the salt actually crunches and does not just wilt there. The Fish and Chips were pretty good according to my brother in law. Crispy, not totally too greasy and a large piece on top. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here in this small town. It had a cosy interior with very nice staff. FYI, the menu is located solely online! Reception could be a little spotty, so they have wifi for you in case you need it!

Anyway I ordered chicken parm off the regular menu with a posted price $16.95 and requested spaghetti instead of angel hair was told no problem. asked if there were any rolls or italIan bread. Waitress said no but I can butter a piece of white bread if you want. Declined her offer. Meal came out with angel hair instead of spaghetti. Sauce looked and tasted like chef boy a Dee. Bill came and was charged $18.95. Questioned the waitress and said she would find out why. came back and pointed to the bottom of the menu where it said that menu items and prices are subject to change. I understand that but one should be told that the price you see on the menu is not the actual price of the meal. What made it worse was the tone in her voice as she was saying it-very degrading. Last year when we visited they were adding a service charge to the bill which turned out to be a server gratuity but if you didn't check your bill and seen it you would have still left a tip on top of that. I noticed that it was no longer on the bill this time around so there must have been complaints. I won't be going back to this restaurant again. Buyer beware

    Brunch review. I may have came with high expectations because so many people had mentioned this…read moreplace, and it is in such a beautiful location, but we left pretty disappointed. First off, their website is odd. Not much information, quite confusing, sometimes it won't even load (on mobile device), so if you're trying to make a reservation, call them directly. Location, beautiful, along the river, great outdoor seating. I'm sure dinner and sunset is stunning. Good, it was okay. We ordered kids breakfast, huevos rancheros skillet thing, chicken and waffles, biscuit and gravy, and the whisky flight. The huevos ranchero was good, nothing to rave over but good. The chicken and waffles didn't come with syrup at first, I'm sure it was a mistake. The biscuit and gravy... looked amazing, but the biscuits were hard. Like rock hard, and even after sitting in the gravy, no moisture would come back. Haha Service... the lady was so sweet, but she kept forgetting us, she would place hot things right in front of the baby where she would easily grab it. She had a hard time splitting the bill. Ultimately we had to ask another waitress for water refill and splitting our bill. Maybe we will go back... but not in a rush.

Last summer (2024) we went up to find they were not serving meals. Their chef left, they couldn't get servers... I'd check in before you go or ask at their place in Clayton. I was under the impression it's drinks only.

Everything was excellent, from the elevated service, to the decor, to the music, to the cozy and elegant ambiance....and the food blew us all away! You don't always expect to be full when you leave a nicer restaurant, but Riva was an exception- the portions were generous. The sourdough was delectable, the caprese ingredients were fresh and colorful, and my pasta was hearty and full of vegetables. The chicken breast I ordered to go with my pasta was moist, but bland- perhaps blackening it or simply adding more seasoning would help. My husband's pizza was sooo garlicky (in the best way possible!), and the crust was an ideal texture and chewiness. My mother in law ordered the fish of the day, which was salmon with a mint cauliflower puree and asparagus- it was delectable! My father in law ordered the spaghetti aglio e olio and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were so satisfied when we left, but wish we had left some room to sample their desserts. If/when we return to the area, we will most certainly be visiting Riva again!

    Absolutely amazing food, complemented by equally great service, and a wonderful ambiance…read more We started with sourdough bread, and could have easily filled up on it. Yes, it was THAT good. I had the spaghetti aglio olio, with shrimp added. Perfectly cooked pasta, with just the right amount of heat in the oil. Shrimp were perfect cooked as well. Portion size was JUST RIGHT. She had the Artic Char. Wow. The grilled veggies were divine, and the mashed potatoes that the fillet was sitting on had the perfect melt in your mouth to texture. A great plate of food! The online reservation system made it too easy to get a table at our preferred time. If I could award 6 stars, I would in a heartbeat!
