Touchstone Grill

We have been coming to this restaurant for many years now and we always have exceptional service and food. This past Thursday evening was no exception, and we lucked out with the live entertainment out on the patio. Great drinks, great ambiance, fantastic view of Lake Muskoka and we even got a sunset! We shared the fresh oysters and calamari to start, both superb. The oysters were probably the biggest hit of the night. We then had the seafood linguini which was FULL of lobster, shrimp, and scallops, and the beef filet which is a regular order and never misses. We then shared the carrot cake cheesecake which was lovely. If you are looking to spend a special evening in Muskoka, try this place for sure.

The Touchstone Grill is a great dining spot! The view on the patio is spectacular and the food is great. While here, we ordered the calamari and the PEI oysters which were delicious and fresh! We got the lobster pasta, which was full of chunks of lobster, shrimp, mussels, and scallop. We also got the 7oz filet which was cooked to perfection. And of course for dessert we ordered the carrot cheesecake… oh my was that good! The staff were wonderful and even delivered our lunch to the infinity pool so we could eat poolside! We got the club sandwich and it was so good and fresh with a good piece of grilled chicken in the middle of a very fresh bun! The fries were spectacular as well - so crispy! I would recommend the grill to everyone and would especially recommend that carrot cheesecake or their s’mores sundae (another of my favourites that I didn’t have the chance to get to this stay)!

What a lovely find! Touch Stone Grill is the perfect cozy spot near the lake—ideal for a relaxed meal with great vibes. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. There was a wonderful male staff member (I’m so sorry I forgot his name!) who went above and beyond with his service—friendly, attentive, and just made the whole experience extra special. Thank you!

Now let’s talk about the food… the brisket fries were absolutely to die for. Perfectly crispy, loaded with flavor, and topped just right. Everything came out fresh and delicious—clearly made with care.

If you’re in the area and want somewhere that feels homey with top-notch food and service, Touch Stone Grill is a must.

We had a great time last night dining there! Food was amazing as always. Meat for the four of us was cooked perfectly. There was a huge party at the restaurant, but our service was pretty quick.

Was seated to a dirty table while staff hung out inside doing nothing.
Service was not good and lacked experience. We asked if the chicken was white or dark meat and she didn't know what we were asking.
The app seemed like it was prepped by a teenager, 4 cherry tomato's with way too much cheese.
Veal dinner was over cooked and full of grease.
Lobster linguine was smothered with too much of everything but lobster.
Our dinners arrived prior to us receiving cutlery.
Server was very slow to top up drinks.
We couldn't leave fast enough.
The patio was nice to look at the water.
Everything is way over priced.

The 2.8 stars review does not accurately reflect the quality of the restaurant. My party and I had an enjoyable dinner. Everything was well prepared and delicious. Server was attentive and pleasant, going above and beyond to locate bug spray for us.

Excellent food and service!

Been here multiple times over the last few years. I’ve never been disappointed, really great food with an amazing patio. Prices are comparable to other places around Muskoka.

The restaurant's misleading menu led to overpriced dishes that failed to meet expectations in both quality and taste, leaving me thoroughly disappointed by the experience. Overall, a regrettable dining choice that fell far short of its promises.
