Dining here had been on my list of places to try out in my town for a long time and we at last got to do so last week. I had high expectations from here and hoped to have a wholesome experience. It started off on a very good note. I called in last minute for reservation and in spite of it being busy as they were hosting a ladies night they were able to accommodate us. It’s a nice cozy set up. The menu is not extensive which makes the selection process easy and quick. Very unique spread in both shareable and mains. The drinks menu is has some great selections to choose from.

This was our second visit to the Cornerhouse. This time we hit up the patio which was awesome! Lovely view and atmosphere, the music and lighting were just right. The food was out of this world. I have seen some complaints that the menu isn't big enough, but what I saw was a menu that was perfected, all ingredients are locally sourced and there care that goes into every plate. We had Wes as our server. Wes was out of this world, friendly and attentive but also gave us space when we were eating and talking. Sadly we saw a couple who were rude and challenging to him and he handled it very professionally

Our experience at the Cornerhouse:
We had the hummus with bread as well as the Scallops. Very good. For mains we both had the steak with mash potatoes. Terrible. Steak was initially under cooked and had to be sent back. Mash potatoes were cold. Upon return steak was bland. Potatoes were watery.
Had the cheesecake for desert. Was ok. Asked for a decaf coffee.Came cold.
Service was friendly. Patio is awesome.Best in town. However some music would’ve been nice. For $250 we were disappointed. We would return but only for drinks.

Great food but not much in the way of choice when it comes to the menu. It's nice to know the food is locally sourced and that it's cooked by an actual chef. The staff is attentive and very professional, but the food and drinks are over priced for what it is. Quality is amazing but the portions are small. The atmosphere is nice, especially with the patio overlooking main Street.

I wasn't able to take a proper picture of the restaurant, but the decor is so nice. I love how they set up the patio tables and even added plexi-glass or greenery to separate the tables for physical distancing. They have signs all over the restaurant, had a temperature station at the front, and even instructions at each table. I think they put in a lot effort and kudos to the management team for doing this. When looking at menu items, the restaurant has supplied QR codes for customers to scan for a digital copy. Great job!
Now we get to the food part. I think everything was mediocre at best

This was my husbands birthday dinner & our first date out since having a baby. We chose it because we love the idea of farm to table & the patio is easily the best in town. I wish i had a better review to leave but honestly we were super disappointed
1… in their inability/inconsistency to follow through with Ontario covid guidelines let alone what they committed to in their signs. The waitresses were masked, helpful, socially distanced and delightful. The owner on the other hand wore a mask around his neck but NEVER ONCE (in 1.5 hours there) put it on despite coming up to each table to chat

First the server was lovely.. but this was obscene. Ordered the house mushroom pasta... received a portion that was smaller than an average child portion, no bread nothing but the tiniest of portions. Now I understand pasta can be deceiving but believe your eyes on this one. $21 for 2 cents worth of pasta in a relatively good sauce with may 5 cents worth of average mushroom's in it. Great place to eat if you want to eat some where else. All around us people were receiving thier orders which were reasonable sizes with bread etc. accompanying their food. I prefer to frequent local business

My family and I had an excellent meal at the CornerHouse. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We loved the mussels and the salad. We sat indoor near the patio doors so we could get fresh air, they provided sterilized blankets that we could borrow to stay warm. I recommend the CornerHouse.

The severs were nice there, but the food was mediocre at best.
The restaurant was not busy with only me and three more tables. I've order a risotto and it took almost an hour for food to come, while my other friends has already almost finished their meal.
When I did finally got my risotto, I noticed it almost sitting in a pool of sauce. I asked my server about it, and they just said that how it's served there. I had my fair share of risotto and I know what it should look and taste like. They offered to take my food back and get redone, but when my food came back again, I've notice

This is a review for the Ice Cream shop portion of the Corner House aka Avondale Ice Cream. The shop itself advertises that the ice cream is "made the old fashion way, one small handmade batch at a time". We had ordered Black Cherry but once we had ordered, I noticed that a MAJORITY of the ice creams in the freezer were actually Chapman's ice cream and not handmade as advertised. A single scoop was $4.50 - I felt extremely ripped off by not only getting Chapman's Ice Cream but the scoop itself was TINY. Pay close to attention to the container that they scoop out of as only a

This was my first patio experience since COVID lifted restrictions. I was in the area .. researched places nearby. Chose this place based on the reviews, pictures and patio. When we arrived there was an iPad sized screen you step up to that detects your temperature. We then went upstairs where there was a good size rooftop patio. There was a mix of tables, height-top tables and a couch area. We arrived on a Sunday mid-afternoon. The menu offered brunch style items. The waitress was friendly and greeted us. Advised us that there would be a surcharge of $2.50 due to extra cleaning required for COVID

"Disappointing. It's a great looking restaurant with the right plans, bones, and location. Unfortunately the food, menu and no beer taps cannot keep pace with what should be one of the best places in town"
I've lived in Stouffville for over 5 years and for all of the time I've lived here, The Cornerhouse was a place I've wanted to try. it was recommended by other residents but I was always hesitant given it seemed like more of a high end place that needed a special occasion. as time had gone on, they've undergone renovations which I must say is both unique and

Okay folks!!! This place has so much potential.. but it just lacks in every way possible. Large beer list but they aren't on tap... they are cans. The menu is quite limited. I ordered the yogurt (I know.. terrible play) but man I had no idea how bad something could taste. It was honestly disgusting. My lady friend had the burrito bowl.. it was bland and had no flavour - very uninspired. I will NOT be returning!

First time at this family restaurant and I ordered the arugula & tomato Benny, it was delicious! My bf ordered the cornerhouse Benny and we both enjoyed it very much. We were worried walking in at first because of the poor reviews but they recently launched their new brunch menu that is definitely worth a visit! The server and owner were very kind and welcoming. The only issue I have is the price, but the food tasted super fresh so no complaints there! They also have a beautiful patio on the second floor, we'll definitely be back in the summer time to enjoy their craft beers!

The reopened with a "gastro pub" menu. Was hoping for a great meal and atmosphere. The staff was fantastic. The selection of beer was great but only 3 on tap, majority in a can :(, that was disappointing. Along game the food and my disappointment grew, it was eatable, but truly not worth the price paid.
Sorry to say I would not recommend.

I came here last night (Saturday) at 9pm hoping to have a late dinner on their cute patio. Was offered a late night menu because the kitchen was closing so I ordered a pizza. Huge disappointment . Unfortunately the pizza was exactly like a frozen pizza (mccain delissio) which is 4.99 at your local grocery store. They charged $20.00 for this which was clearly overpriced . I don't mind paying $20 but not for a frozen pizza. The pizza was definitely not homemade. Very disappointing . The waitress was nice and the patio is cute. I live nearby and will not be back after this incident. I would

It's a cute restaurant. Staff very friendly. Food was a bit overpriced. I've ordered the spinach and tomatoes eggs benedict, the scone on the bottom was very hard to cut through and to chew as well. There was separation in the hollandaise sauce, it's quite noticeable once the server put my plate down.

A restaurant set into the homey atmosphere of a house with great service and a good environment to enjoy your meal. There was a bit of a questionable moment in the beginning, as I walked in and there was no one to great us. I had to stand by the door for a good 5 minutes before anyone saw us. It might be because of the configuration of the house, since it isn't open concept and the server had to move from room to room constantly during the night.
I had the Salad Bowl, which was a mix of a bunch of greens with nuts and black rice. A good texture combination and one of the lighter options

I have been twice for brunch at the Corner House for two occasions
I have to say that the food is great
I have had the Jack Daniel's pancakes twice and they were delish
I think though they need a bit more of that syrup on the pancakes
I haven't had the bennies yet but from what I saw both times when my family members ordered them, they looked quite yummy
Will definitely go back again

The corner house is a very quaint place and looks great. It is also one of few French restaurants I've been to, so I was excited to try it.
When we arrived, there was literally nobody there to greet us. We saw someone in the back and asked if they were open yet and he said yeah someone should come downstairs soon. About 5 min later we were going to leave when a man came to seat us.
We started with the calamari that was very well done. Not at all chewy and nicely grilled.
I went for the seafood pasta which I thought would shine at a nice restaurant and it was totally tasteless. I expect a

This restaurant has been here for many years. It has changed ownerships once or twice over the years however, has remained to be a Stouffville favourite. The main floor is used for general dining. The second floor is popular for Sunday Brunch. The third floor can be used to host events/parties etc...
The decor is cozy, hardwood floors/ updated colours.
I had lunch here and ordered Lobster Mac and Cheese. It contained nice sized chunks of lobster, mac and a light flavoured white cheese sauce. As my side I choose Spinach salad. My coworker ordered a large Caesar salad. I must say 5/5 on presentation
