Pizza was little good Other food items are just ok Drinks were bad Friendly customer service Little expensive Nice view but lots of spiders and spider webs on the side. I could count more than 10 spiders across our table. It doesn't looks like they are keeping it tidy in that aspect. Other than that place looks beautiful and nice. Free parking available. You can also park in the big parking space across the street.

Pull & Tear Bread

Highly recommend booking a reservation in advance! It was quite busy during lunch time. Ambience was very nice if the weather is good. Food: Pull & Tear Bread and Baby Gem Caesar Salad are great for sharing and very yummy. Branzino, Chorizo and Steak & Frites was okay and nothing special. Shrimp Tagliatelle is my favourite and tasted great. For dessert, the Lime Tart was the best dessert but the Portuguese Tart was great as well! Service was perfect as well! Our server was very attentive with allergies and timing what comes out when. Overall, a great restaurant with perfect service. Food is slightly expensive but you're really here for the view and ambience.

Went to check out Fishbone By the lake for a birthday dinner and it was truly a wonderful experience. It's a restaurant that opens during the warm summer months and only an outdoor lovely patio facing a gorgeous lake. As a group, ordered the following: 1) PEI mussels - mussels cooked well with an amazing coconut broth 2) Pull and Tear Bread - super soft, fresh out of the oven with their very own herb garlic buter 3) Wild Argentina Shrimp Tagliatelle - fennel served with fresh shrimp and their handmade white wine cream sauce 4) Roasted Icelandic Cod - super fresh cod paired with Heirloom tomato and caper vierge Everything was truly delicious and was cooked with fresh ingredients. In addition, the service is excellent and impeccable, making it a great dining experience. Would truly recommend to go try this restaurant as it has an amazing atmosphere and one of a kind view, with great food. Go make your reservations (on a sunny day)!

Went to Fishbone by the Lake for Canada Day and it was excellent! The service was extremely friendly, food was amazing and the atmosphere and view by the lake was perfect. We started with the Pull and Tear Bread, Flaming Chourico and Patatas Bravas. The bread was right out of the oven, the chourico was sliced pork (don't touch the pig!), and the patatas bravas was bite sized potatoes in a saffron aioli and brava sauce... all were excellent starters. We then had the Grilled Yellowfin Tuna and the Steak Frites, again cooked to perfection. Overall a great experience, make sure you make reservations... highly recommended.

We lucked out getting a table for their last summer day. The location is quite beautiful and it's a relaxing environment to enjoy some delicious foods. This particular location is all outdoors and only open during the warmer season. We've been to their Aurora location before and loved it. I will say, the pricing is a tad bit high, but the food is really good and it's worth being one of those special occasion dates. I love that the menu isn't huge - meaning they're paying attention to quality over quantity. We ordered brussels to share which I found to be just a tad bit too vinegary for my preference. I had a few bites and left those mostly for my boyfriend to have. The fries were perfect though. The mains actually followed immediately after the starters - pretty quick service considering it was fully booked that night. My boyfriend had the lake burger which was so good. They used brie as the cheese and you just can't go wrong with that. We had an octopus to share, which was absolutely tender and grilled beautifully. It had a lovely flavour. I couldn't enjoy too much of it though because it had quite a bit of oil, but it tasted great. My favourite was the seared ahi tuna though. It comes on a bed of olives, piquillo and beluga lentils which complimented the fish perfectly. I will crave this combination for quite some time to come. Absolutely something I'd recommend to anyone coming to this place next summer. Obviously, we were too stuffed by this point for dessert, but they had some nice options and I noticed other tables really enjoying their sweet treats. If you haven't given this place a try, definitely keep an eye out for opening and make a reservation. It's such a lovely drive, great views, and good food.

My visit to Fishbone By The Lake was good, but it didn't quite live up to the hype. The ambiance by the lake was charming, offering a relaxed atmosphere with lovely views, though it could have been a little more lively. The service was friendly, but there were times when it felt like the staff was stretched a bit thin. The food was flavorful and fresh, particularly the seafood, but it didn't quite impress me as much as I expected. It's a decent choice for a meal with a scenic view, but there's room for a bit more refinement.

PEI Mussels

The view of the lake was lovely!! Although it was quite dark during dinner, we could still see the outline of the water and the tree lines. The food was delicious, however, it's quite expensive. The service was good, but a tad slow and our server, Bruno was very friendly.

Custard tart and cappuccino

Be sure to book a reservation in advance! Great spot by the water. Unfortunately it was a bit rainy and chilly, but they gave us blankets and it was still a great experience! It's much cooler in this area so bring a jacket. For the food, the yellowfin tuna and the octopus were highlights. Not pictured is the pull and tear bread but that's also a must-get! Cocktails were also amazing - the spritz and Fishbone sunset were top notch.

I like coming here at least once a year especially during the summer months, sitting out at the patio is a very relaxing experience!

Ahi tuna salad
Cin C.

I would have to give an extra star for the absolutely stunning view and the amazing service. I highly recommend making reservations as it is super popular in the summer and several parties were turned away during our meal. For food, we had the burger with fries and the ahi tuna salad. Of the two, I would recommend the salad as it was somehow just tastier. The vinaigrette paired really well with the edamame, greens and crispy chips. The burger unfortunately had all the right ingredients but fell apart after the first bite and wasn't very cohesive. They are famous for their fried brussel sprouts, which we tasted and were good. Will be back for the view, but not sure about the food.

Tuna salad

This restaurant is located right beside the Musselman's lake, with a breathtaking view and such a refreshing ,causal vibe. We ordered: 1. Sourdough bread 4/5 2. Sausage 5/5 3. Steak 4/5 4. Tuna salad 4/5 All dishes are beautifully presented, especially like the way they serve the sausage, flamed using oil under the sausage . Service is good and attentive too. Make sure to make reservation in advance as they are quite busy.

Love this place. A little oasis just north of the city. Food is great with a smaller menu. 100% patio with some shade. Pizza is perfect Drinks are amazing Steak was cooked perfectly Every dish was on point Service was very good and on time Staff were very friendly So this location it is worth fighting for a table.

Chocolate Mousse

Went here for dinner the past Monday. Started with the Grilled Moroccan Octopus, PEI Mussels, and Picante Pizza to share. The pizza was amazing and it had really nice crust. The mussels were great and the broth was very delicious. As an entree I had the Wild Argentina Shrimp Tagliatelle. The sauce was really good and it came with a great portion of shrimp. For dessert we shared the Chocolate Mousse and Portuguese Tart. Both were amazing, highly recommend. Overall service was amazing, I found the prices a bit on the higher end however I do believe it is worth it for the beautiful lake side ambiance.

This Filipino Fusion place gets 3.5 stars…read more Lechon pizza (12"; they only have 10" & 12") was pretty good: but not because of the lechon. It was baked well done & the Cherry Cola BBQ sauce had an intriguing sweet-sour flavour that worked well with the pineapple (which had a different type of sweet-sour flavour) but obliterated the taste of the sauce & basil; the cherry component could be a bit heavy (YMMV). The crust had a nice chewiness & crisp & the edges were slightly raised. The cheese was quite good & there was quite a lot of it. There was very little lechon (roast pork), it was not crispy at all (there was no skin), some pieces were a bit dry & the lechon flavour did not come out. Calamansi loaf was good: pretty moist with some crisp in the lightly frosted crust & a good calamansi flavour.

I came to Stouffville to check out Saints Island pies as I heard that they were a Filipino fusion…read morecafé/restaurant. I was ideally looking for a great work environment that I can grab coffee and some food and I thought this place was a perfect in between!! The place does get quite busy throughout the morning to lunch hour. I have not come here in the evening. I can understand the hype as to why this place does get packed because they have so many different types of food to choose from as well as coffee, tea drinks, and specialty drinks. I was able to try two types of pizzas and share between friends. I was able to try the mushroom adobo pizza as well as spicy Laing pizza. Both were very good. The crust was very flavorful. It is a great infusion of Filipino flavors. I am Filipino myself, and I loved it. It definitely encompass everything I was looking for, and I thought it was quite unique as I've never thought about these flavors on top of the pizza!! I would highly recommend this place and definitely come back !!!

I ordered over Uber delivery for the first time in this location. They have several pizza choices…read moreon the menu. I'm feeding a family of four and 1 guest at the time. I picked 1 Medium Hawaiian pizza regular crust with cheese. The kids love it! I added extra meat in it for extra price. The crust was really good, enough crisp when chewed, no burnt part, meat was distributed generously while the cheese must be heaven I cannot eat cheese but my husband said it's perfectly spread together with the meat. What surprises me is they have a lot of options from crust(whole wheat or regular) to cheese or non dairy cheese(pretend cheese lol). So, I ordered another medium size pizza with pesto(Wow! Can't beat this!) And Non dairy cheese in it plus the meats and mushrooms. I am so glad they have this because I am allergic to cheese. Now, this pizza is really good too, even the kids tasted it and they like it. I picked thin crust and I absolutely love it. I definitely recommend that for those who cannot tolerate dairy or want to try something different. The pizza may look weird at first but once you try it you'll love it too. Also, I ordered chicken wings BBQ. My family is delighted, satisfied, and enjoyed the meal the we had together. We we're in a rush when I was ordering the food so I didn't really mind the price at that moment. Although, it was unbelievably expensive! I am obviously not happy with the price but considering the meal, it is really satisfying as I am very happy with the food and the service provided. Regardless of today's crisis, I hope they change the price maybe lower it a bit. In today's world situation, it's always nice to support business like food industry. Hopefully, we can visit the restaurant next time when covid19 finishes. I highly recommend this location. Thank you for the great meal you serve us. For now, we rely on deliveries for our own safety.

I'm a vegetarian and don't eat meat otherwise I would have sucked it up and kept it. Called customer service and the guy asks me if I would mind picking up - I went all the way back to pick up the second hopefully correct pizza. Not one apology from anyone the old guy that works there was kind of rude gave me the pizza and walked away. Not going to order here again.
