Fishbone by the Lake is hands down one of the best dining experiences you can find in Stouffville,…read moreand honestly, I would compare it among the top restaurants in the entire York Region and GTA. From the moment you walk in, the combination of good food, warm service, and that beautiful lakeside view sets the tone for a memorable meal. We ordered a variety of dishes, but the standout was definitely the grilled sea bass. It was simply outstanding. Perfectly cooked with a crisp skin and tender flavorful bass. The fish was completely boneless, which was a pleasant surprise. The sauce and garnishes elevated the dish even further, and the presentation was so well done that it looked as good as it tasted. Honestly, it was so addictive that I would come back just for that dish alone! Service here is another reason this place shines. Our server, Christian, deserves a special shout-out. He is friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was excellent from start to finish. It is rare to encounter service that feels genuinely thoughtful, and it made the day even more enjoyable. Yes, Fishbone by the Lake is on the pricier side, but it's absolutely worth it for the quality you can get. From the freshness of the ingredients, to the upscale presentation, and the relaxed lakeside atmosphere, everything comes together to justify the cost. There is also a good amount of free parking conveniently located across the street, which makes visiting stress-free. A few quick tips: reservations are a must. This is a popular spot, and with good reason, so book ahead to avoid disappointment. Weather could throw you a curveball in summer time since the venue is basically outdoor with a nice shade. Between the incredible food, stunning view, and top-notch service, Fishbone by the Lake is a solid 10/10 in my books. Honestly, whether you are celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a place to treat yourself with friends or families, this restaurant will not disappoint. Recommended!

You can also park in the big parking space across the street.

This was another new find for 2024 which left me craving more and wanting to go back. It didn't take much convincing for hubby to get takeout for the fam. We kept it simple and all ordered cheeseburgers with just bacon, sides of fries and onion rings. This burger really hit the spot! Nice size patty, seasoned so well. The bacon was crispy and they do not hold back on the pieces in your burger. The Yukon gold fries are fresh made and not frozen. I LOVE the onion rings, it's a generous portion of crispy rings! Burger sizes are single 1/4 lb, double 1/2 lb, triple 3/4 lb, pounder 1lb. Choose from Swiss, Cheddar, Bleu, Feta & Smoked Cheddar cheese. You can also add on sautéed onions, sautéed mushrooms and more. There is the "Z"Fam menu selections and the Chef's Selections if you prefer to not build your own burger. Top off your meal with Oreo Stuffed Churros or a classic milkshake. Zeal Burger, please open a Markham location!

First time trying this burger joint based on the reviews and also because we were craving for…read moresomething greasy. We ordered 5 burgers, large onion rings ($7.95) and large fries ($5.95). We got the single burger ($6.00 toppings are extra) double burger ($9.25 toppings are extra), mushroom melt ($9.25) the Classic Z ($13.25) and O.Z. (for $11.50 the burger that started everything). We came on a Saturday around 530pm to the Stouffville location and they were busy. Friday and Saturday nights are their busiest. We waited about 40min for our food. Overall, the burgers tasted okay. The food wasn't hot enough. They were just a little more than warm. It was quite disappointing because these are fresh burgers and unfortunately it didn't taste that way. The fries and onion rings were decent. Good customer service.

This is a nice local restaurant with one side for game night (picture high tops, bar, TVs galore) -…read moregreat place to gather watch any hockey or baseball game and then a small section that is more like a dining room with booth like bench along the wall. There are still a few TVs around so that gives parents a space to still catch up on a game even with kids in tow. We went with our kids and the kids menu was actually decent. A selection of pasta, traditional pub fare like chicken fingers and fish and chips to hot dog and hamburgers. It comes with a juice box, a side (fries or salad etc that can also be upgrade to poutine or sweet potato fries. We ended up ordering the fish bites (mini fish and chips) and chicken fingers. They were both done very well. There was sufficient breading but not overwhelming. Kids loved it. Fries were done just right. The ice cream was on point. Juice boxes were nothing special. I had the southwest linguine. It was a pleasant surprise. A decent amount of protein and veggies (chicken and shrimp) and it had a bit of kick which I wasn't expecting. It comes with garlic toast which was also quite good. We finished the meal with a slice of pumpkin cheesecake. That was heavenly. It was a bit more of the sweet side for us but nonetheless it really hit the spot. Service was ok. They didn't check in very much and it wasn't busy. Would have liked our water refilled. Otherwise decent meal. Would be back!

I should've checked the reviews beforehand, but since I had time to check while waiting, I realized that it's probably not worth waiting for anyway by the sounds of it.

They also have several different flavors of butter tarts and several mini cakes, donuts and cookies for anyone wanting a dessert or afternoon tea treat. We did however shared one of their non exotic flavored but still savory meat samosa and one of their popular flakey pastry sausage roll. Both were pretty good and tasty though would have been better with heat / pepper added to them. Service from the young man who took our order was friendly and he even offered to warm up our order without us having to ask. That's good right there. The ambiance is your typical little cafe and only had one table with 2 chairs on the lower floor. They also have an upper floor with some more tables and chairs. Had shelves of prepared sauces, honey and dressing. Also a large fridge section of both individual or family sized pies and quiches there. Also a fridge of cold drinks with small selection or you can get a coffee or tea at the main baked good sections.

In the Spanish Rice dish, the Shrimps were large, the Mussels were amazing, and the Calamari were plentiful and perfectly tender. The Scallops were perfect cooked. The dish itself was a visual delight. The Poached Pear was perfectly cooked. The dish was not too sweet or too tart, just perfect. They always have a Fish of the Day and Oysters. Other specials change every two weeks. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms, and they are not wheelchair accessible.
