I have to admit that I am a bit biased because I live within walking distance of this venue. That aside, I can't image that I am going to properly capture the true atmosphere, ambiance and sincere love that this place has and regularly does generate for me on every visit.
I have been going to the Corner House with my wife for about 4 years now. The mood of the place has changed a bit over that time, but for those who don't live within walking distance, let me assure you that the drive to the nether regions of Keswick proper are well worth it.
What it is: A classic small family restaurant that serves impeccably designed food at a reasonable price. It is a local staple, a place where regulars who enjoy high quality cuisine go to enjoy the ideas and execution of the house chefs on a monthly and even weekly basis. Picture the best restaurant in Toronto without the attitude, drama and aloof wait staff. You’re getting close, but it still doesn’t capture it.
What it is Not: A stuffy, snooty high class eatery where you have to look down your nose at the wait staff, owners and fellow guests. This is a place of food and friendship. If you are not prepared to get a hug when you enter and a hug when you leave, go somewhere else. This restaurant is not for the shy or faint of heart. It is for those that are willing to declare their love of great food; great wine and excellent company and live the experience out loud.
You will get out of the Corner House what you put into it. It is the best of both worlds. World class fine dining by the beautify Lake Simcoe, and a venue small and intimate enough to attract the likes of Bob De Niro on a regular basis. He comes for the Pumpkin Cheese Cake like the rest of us caught in its magical spell.
FYI Christine makes the Pumpkin Cheesecake just like she makes all the deserts.
From scratch.
By Hand.
Fresh.
Daily.
The level of commitment to food and taste is what sets this place apart. The dedication from the owners to high quality food, great service, and a down to earth attitude lift this establishment above and beyond what you might expect from restaurants in the area, and fine dining establishments at large.
The Corner House is more than a restaurant. It's a refuge. A place where you can go and feel assured that the food, the staff and the service will be top notch, so that all those worries can be lifted from your shoulders, and you can focus on forgetting the world, and enjoying the creations set before you.

I am a long term customer of this establishment, and i am appalled at the last review. First of all i am routinely in there for the wings and the two girls that work on wing day-night are very friendly, quick and very good at their job which includes cooking the food. they work alone and it is typically very busy on a wing day-night.
whomever wrote that review obviously did not read any of the other reviews posted about their " friday girls " as they are well known to repeated customers to be mean, slow and rude.
its very surprising that anyone could have an issue with either of the "wings girls" in regards to their job performance and it sounds a little more like a personal issue. i have personally seen this very same person mentioned wash the tables, benches, walls and even the baseboards so i am more than happy to declare a good rating for both of the wing girls.Read more

Little Bangkok took over the Spiago restaurant in the Glenwoods mall in the corner across from Scotia Bank in Keswick. What a great spot! ... the atmosphere is nice and the staff are very attentive.
The food was delicious and served hot. We all ordered dishes and then shared. The waitress was very helpful in choosing what to order and what food complimented other dishes.
Friendly staff, great food and they even have take out and lunch specials!!
Affordable and fantastic!Read more
Our group of 4 attended May 24 2013. Started with one of the best ceasar salads we have had in a long time, huge fabulous prime rib with fresh horseradish and finished with an excellent crepe big enough for 4 to share! From start to finish an excellent meal served by very pleasant wait staff. We would highly recommend the Lakeside Bistro. (Holland Landing, ON)Read more

Highly recommended! This past week, we ordered take-out for the Creamy Chicken Penne, the Club Sandwich and the french onion soup. The Creamy Chicken Penne is going to be ordered again tonight; it is really excellent! The french onion soup was also very tasty and filling, as was the club house with the grilled veggies & awesome fries! We didnt have to wait very long to pick it up. I would even come here from Newmarket!Read more

I went in a short while ago, and fell in love. The service is something very special. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.
As for the food.
I had chicken coconut soup, followed by Scallops and risotto.
It was one of the top 3 meals I've ever experienced.
It is a little pricey, but if you feel like treating yourself, or you're trying to impress your date, this is a great little spot.Read more

Change did Mom's good. Not sure who the new owners are, but we only went back because we heard the old ones were gone. The biggest difference, these people care, my breakfast was fast, hot, and very good. I went to college up the road, and after being treated poorly repeatedly by the previous owners, I said I would never go back. Well, am I ever glad I did. This is my new favorite breakfast spot in Barrie. Love it. Great job Mom's!!!!Read more
