I went in to see the outdoor space which is wonderful with the lake in front, as there was no more place to sit I chose another place. But it is worth going to see.

Five stars for location. Really lovely table. Awful experience.
We were seated around 10 to 8, ordered our appetizers and beers around 8. After our apps were brought out by a runner at 8:15 or so, no server came to follow up for a dinner order, even though we had clearly said we were planning to have dinner when we first spoke with her.
At 8:50 I got up and went to our server to mention entrees and she told me the kitchen closed 10 mins prior. She suggested we walk down the lake and get a take out pizza.
Our server, Ella, was really lovely but clearly had WAY too many tables and other servers were just hanging out at the kitchen door. Poor management it would seem.

We're visiting for the season and feel incredibly fortunate to have experienced their last lounge of 2024 before fall settles in. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. The staff is exceptionally friendly, going above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. We'll definitely be back and can't wait to recommend this hidden gem to friends visiting Muskoka. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing meal in a welcoming environment, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. -Pat&Mao

What a great spot! Appetizers on the dock but a storm was blowing in. Staff was awesome to pivot and get us a table inside. Still a great view. Food delicious with a special shout out for cookie and ice cream desert! A definite stop in Bala!
This is the 3 year that we dine in at Jack & Stella. Food, hot and cold beverages are great, friendly staff, and the ambiance is very relaxing dine in by the lake.
Parking: Lots of parking spaces have no hassle looking for parking.

The food tastes good but it wasn't what I wanted they were out of everything pretty much, paid a pretty penny for pizza and wine. Atmosphere was nice, but truly loved the look of the Muskoka chairs but hard to eat at that level, seating was uncomfortable! I wouldn't go back sorry!

Heather has done an extraordinary job transforming the space to something chic and inviting whilst imbuing great Muskoka vibes. Staff was attentive and while you sensed this was a summer crew, well that just fits with the experience so not a detraction. Negronis were perfect, good sense on the wine list, and the food was good while we couldn't do a lot of substations or deletions so a fussy foodie like me could be annoyed but everything else put us in such a good mood we didn't care. We came by boat and had docking space and we were able to have our dog join us, very well done indeed. Thank you Heather for a fine night out. .

Had a lovely dinner at the end of the dock with a gorgeous view! Very fun vibe! The pasta and the pizza was delicious and the Cesar salad is the best. The appetizer of whipped feta was just amazing! Thank you again for another great evening at Jack and Stella.
