    Cornerstone is Schrödinger's restaurant. Some of you smirk while others desire an explanation…read more Alas, the word budget compels me to ignore those pleas and continue. Cornerstone neither bad nor good. It is neither ugly nor particularly attractive. It exists in both states simultaneously and taking inspiration from the Copenhagen interpretation, the superposition ends when you walk in and have a meal. The metaphor somewhat breaks down at this point as honestly, what really happens is that the good and the bad meld together into a rather unsatisfactory gray, their ultimate sin. Cornerstone is melancholy. The ironic use of red in places doesn't detract it feeling colorless. It's a stunning shade of gray, but like the depressing trend of recent movies, that may not be the best course of action. Cornerstone doesn't offend the eyes--it's just refuses to color outside the lines (despite the aforementioned limited palate). I have made comparisons before about there being some manufacturing line where a machine extrudes the same pedestrian restaurant that anyone can purchase. I'll take 60 feet of restaurant, please. They roll it out, bring down the cutter, and you walk off with your portion. Cornerstone is the Hyundai Accent of restaurants. You don't need to look further than the menu as proof, lacking any panache or originality. Nachos, chicken tenders, lettuce wraps, burgers, wraps, pizzas. And not even funny names...I mean I hate amusing names for boring dishes but here, nothing, just "stir fry" and "steak bites" and "beef dip." Hold me back. The delivered dishes were equally uninspired. I opted for the Cornerstone burger while my friend ordered the Steak Sandwich. The descriptors were bullets points. "6 oz. Sirloin. Garlic Toast. Fresh cut Fries. Frizzled Onions." My burger saw that simplicity and raised it with "House made Beef Burger, Cheddar Cheese, Mustard, Relish, Cornerstone Sauce." That's not a sales pitch--that's an ingredient list. They can't even be bothered even to sell their dishes. My friend's plate was exactly as listed, basically, take those items and place them on a plate and hand it out. The steak was chewy, and the portion was small, especially for seventeen dollars. Mine was sixteen dollars, and I can say with confirmed certainty that there are better burgers nearby for less. My plate was just a burger lacking elegance, speared with a toothpick, fringed by the soup special, and dignified with a single package of stale saltines sitting slightly off edge, almost forlorn like the fat friend in every romantic comedy. How sophisticated. The burger was good; there's no denying that, but there was nothing setting it apart from any burger you could make with your own two hands. I had a burger from the White Goose food truck that was half this price and included bacon, a $2.50 add-on at Cornerstone. My only other garnish was the napkin. About the only aspect of the décor I thought was worthy of praise was a slightly unbefitting centrally-located wine display sparingly seasoned by some striking bottles. There is also not an overabundance of televisions, meaning this place is inadequate as a sports bar (which is what it replaced). So, given that evidence, we have yet another Moxies clone that is desperately hoping people won't leave the hotel to search for any better. Heaven forbid they walk thirty feet to Karahi King or Crossroads or walk down the street to Twisted Cork. And if customers have a car, forget it. It's not so much I dislike Cornerstone, it just falls into a category of restaurant that is getting larger and larger, ones I am indifferent to. I could not care about this place. My apathy towards Cornerstone removes any reason to visit it compared to the competition surrounding it. Even the donair and poutine joint across the street is more desirable than this. Cornerstone obviously cost a lot of money, but they phoned in a monotonous menu and dishes lacking any originality. This could be expected of a restaurant under a hotel, the need to pander to the largest demographic resulting in such a compromised menu, yet I have seen better restaurants under lesser hotels. Look at Rockford; look at Hummus Brothers. Granted, those two not that much better than Cornerstone, but they are. Food: 2.5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Presentation: 3/5 Value: 2.5/5 Recommendation: 3/5

    Cornerstone is now open for breakfast. I'd looked at the menu prior to going so I knew what I…read morewanted. When the waitress approached I ordered immediately and had the food very quickly. The food was quite tasty. I was a bit surprised that the Cornerstone Breakfast had a single strip of bacon and single sausage but the overall meal was adequately filling. The poor review then came after my empty plate was cleared. I sat there for over 10 minutes at an empty table with no bill. I tried to flag the waitress down whenever she was in sight to no avail. I watched her clean 3 tables and top up the coffees at the table next to me. Finally close to 15 minutes later I got her attention, got the bill, barely tipped and left.

    This is a tough review to pen, as our experience overall was not up to par. The restaurant has…read morequite good reviews, but there seems to be a penchant for forgetting about their customers somehow. That's exactly what happened to us this last week. We got there a bit before 8 a good hour prior to them closing. There were maybe five or six tables at various stages of service. We were quickly seated, given waters and menus, and then forgotten for 20 minutes. We finally asked the other server, who I believe in one of the owners, if we could order. Our server came over quickly and apologized profusely, but the damage was done. Our martinis came quickly after we asked for them as did our Caesar salad, which initially seemed too garlicky, and was in fact not. I ordered the Veal Parmesan while the lovely K had the Sun-dried Tomato Fettuccine. It came as advertised, but was not what she was looking for, certainly not the fault of the kitchen. My veal was somehow a bit chewy, and had too much breading and cheese on it. The in-house made pasta (as they all are, kudos for that) was nicely done, but the protein overshadowed the sauce. The interior is nicely decorated and there is a patio area there for the nice days. The open kitchen is a favourite of ours, but it also exposes any issues that may be going on. All in all, it was not a good experience for us, but mistakes happen and we would give them a try again, as K had a good initial experience. That's the reason we went there, and one bad evening shouldn't end it all. Nice restaurants are not plentiful in PG, so everyone deserves to drop back and punt very occasionally.

    Each dish are good size, fulfilling. High quality handmade. Excellent services, only 2 servers and…read more1 bartender, interior decoration dim lighting and modern design.
