TLDR: food was alright, Owner suggested the Keg when we tried to provide feedback on the service.
Are you looking for an unapologetic “Karen’s Diner” like experience in Keswick? Corner Bistro House
Don’t want to have to drive to Toronto to have overpriced food? Corner Bistro House
Do you need 43 minutes to look at a menu before having to worry about serving staff taking your order? Corner Bistro House
Hate when restaurants carry those pesky wine brands that have corks instead of twist tops? Corner Bistro House
Do you want to be told several times by the owner that you have to leave at a specific time? Corner Bistro House
We were looking for a pleasant night out while supporting a small local business for a special occasion. Instead we were ignored and treated like an inconvenience despite having a reservation. . During our conversation I was surprised when she compared their poor service with “You’d get the same service at the Keg”.
Hopefully Vee can learn to accept feedback from patrons and use it to handle these situations better in the future.
Didn’t meet Alan but his food was alright.

Christmas Eve dinner perfection! A true five-star experience.
My wife Robin, our daughter Chelsea, and I enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at The Corner House Bistro, and it was absolutely outstanding from start to finish.
Vee always makes us feel right at home — she has an incredible way of remembering her customers and making each visit feel special and personal. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and truly appreciated. Her husband, Chef Alan, is an exceptionally talented chef, and once again, the food was simply to die for. You can truly taste the difference knowing everything is fresh, locally sourced, and made completely from scratch.
I had the prime rib with an added lobster tail, cooked perfectly and packed with flavour. Robin and Chelsea both enjoyed the filet mignon, and they were equally impressed. We started with Mushrooms Neptune, a Caesar salad, and one of Robin’s favourite specialty cocktails — all excellent.
Dessert was the perfect ending: Robin had the lemoncello blueberry cheesecake, I had the caramel pecan cheesecake, and Chelsea finished with mango sorbet. Every single bite was fantastic.
The serving staff were professional, pleasant, and extremely knowledgeable, adding even more to an already outstanding evening. From the warm atmosphere to the impeccable food and service, this place never disappoints. We truly can’t wait to dine here again. If you’re looking for an exceptional local restaurant in Keswick, this is it — a true five-star experience.

The customer experience is unreal, from the moment you enter this beautiful gem to the moment you leave the attention to detail and excellent staffing was outstanding. the taste of food was insanely good I don't know if I can ever eat anything that we had again without going here to have it made. fresh, exquisite, and leaves you wanting more. I highly reccomend going here you will not regret the decision.

Had the pleasure of celebrating a big birthday milestone for a family member and it couldn’t have been better. Even with the intimate 30ish seat dining room they accommodated our party of 8 and did an excellent job.
The menu is short but it’s packed with amazing dishes, as well as many specials on the weekend that made it very hard to choose! Generous portion sizes and the food was incredible.
Huge win to have a restaurant of this caliber in this neck of the woods. Easy to get to off the 404. Hope to be back soon.

After living in Keswick for 15 years, we finally visited Corner House…only wish we tried it early. This small, classy spot offers fine dining at its best. The service was impeccable, with attentive and personable staff who made us feel truly welcome. The owner, V, is incredibly humble and warm, and her passion for hospitality shines. Though we didn’t meet her husband, the chef, his talent is something to recognize. Everything is homemade, delicious, and made to order. We came for a quiet 40th birthday dinner while our dog rested after surgery, and it turned out to be the perfect way to celebrate. The ambiance, food, and service were exactly what I needed. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a night to treat yourself, Corner House is the perfect place to try. Thank you for incredible meal and service. Certainly a fantastic ending to a worrisome week for our pup.

We recently ate here after being referred by a family friend. The recommendation did not disappoint! Food was beautiful, so flavourful and the portions are beyond what you would expect for what can be considered “fine dining”. The owner and staff were amazing! Prices were extremely reasonable! This was one of the best meals and dining experiences I’ve had in a while! Can’t wait to return!
Intimate and romantic atmosphere. Service Was top notch and food was amazing. The owner is sweet and friendly. Would definitely come back again .

A Hidden Gem with Heart and Flavor!
From the moment we walked into The Corner House, we were warmly welcomed by Vee (the co-owner) and the incredible staff who made us feel right at home. The cozy charm of the place is matched only by the quality of the food, which is nothing short of exceptional.
We began our meal with the Mushrooms Neptune and a lovely bottle of wine, both of which set the tone for an evening of indulgent, thoughtfully prepared dishes. For our entrées, we each chose one of the day's specials, and they did not disappoint. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Alan, the chef (and co-owner and Vee’s husband), is a true talent in the kitchen.
We ended our meal with the chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, which was rich, decadent, and the perfect sweet finish. It is obvious that only premium ingredients are used, and the attention to detail shines through in every dish.
A huge thank you to the staff. Their service was impeccable and genuinely warm. This place is a standout, and I can confidently say I’ll be back, likely within the next 14 days. 😍
Highly, highly recommend!

My husband and I absolutely love coming to the Corner House Bistro. We go a few times a year and absolutely love the experience every time. The restaurant is run by a couple, where the husband is the chef and the wife is front of house. You can tell they take a lot of pride in what they do by the quality of the food and service. There’s always amazing “specials”, which I always order instead of going off the main menu, because they’re always so interesting and delicious! A signature item they do is crab stuffed shrimp… I’ve never had anything like it elsewhere and it’s absolutely delicious! Definitely order a dish that includes them! Their grilled calamari appetizer is always done perfectly, and their desserts are to die for (especially the caramel pecan cheesecake). I HIGHLY recommend visiting this place, you’re truly missing out if you don’t!
