Stonegate Bistro

great place! we made a reservation on Saturday night for the next night - when we got there the owner told us that the staff member had forgotten that the restaurant was supposed to be closed that night, but that he had opened it especially for us! quite alone in the restraurant, and great food! and great hospitality!

Second time coming here & it was just as wonderful as the first time (last fall - before a show at the CITS) ! Don't let the neighbourhood & outer building shell fool you. This is FINE DINING with lovely stone decor inside & a gorgeous atmosphere. The food is DELICIOUS !! Upon seating, we were offered water, warm bread & oil. My lovely wife had a nice red wine & I had ice tea (they don't serve mixed drinks). For the meal itself - we started with the Mixed Mushroom Flatbread (sooooo tasty!). YUM ! My wife had the Herb Crusted Beef Tenderloin & I had the Louisiana Cajun Sirloin Steak . Both meals were amazing - served with potatoes, grilled zucchini & fresh asparagus. Kudos to the chef, for not holding back on the spice for the Cajun Sirloin. I had a nice little forehead crown sweat going. Sadly, we didn't have room for dessert - but we can only imagine that it would have been quite memorable, as well. We have to drive an hour to and from The Twin Cities, so that alone should let you know that this is a place worth visiting. Make it your next destination stop for a special culinary experience !!

My spouse and I had our birthday celebration dinner here and the food was fantastic, irresistible, and flavourful. The serving size was massive and consisted a lot of side veggies with so much good flavours. I ordered a grilled 10 oz NY strip loin for about $30, but it was one of the best steaks I've ever had in a long time; much better than the Keg. I don't regularly eat veggies but I do when I'm eating at Stonegate Bistro. Also don't forget their desserts; I had the best crème brule at Stonegate that I never had in a long time. Highly recommended to fine diners and date nights.

This is my favourite restaurant in Kitchener-Waterloo right now. The appetisers alone are worth it: the seafood crostini, the grilled vegetables, and the homemade flatbreads in particular are just amazing. The first thing they bring you is a basket of fresh hot pita bread and oil for dipping, and it is simply wonderful bread. The "grilled vegetables" sound boring, right? Well, they're not! I order them every time, and my biggest regret is that I can't order all of the appetisers each time, and still have room for a main course. Best food in the city.
