Reviews of The Common Stove (Restaurant)

Jaime Ann

Hosted a Bridal Shower Brunch at the Common Stove and it was absolutely amazing! Simon and the whole team were a pleasure to deal with and the event went off without a hitch! The venue is stunning, the brunch was delicious and the portions were very generous! Our guests really enjoyed themselves and the staff were all so friendly and helpful! Thank you Common Stove!

Sandra Fonteno

Fabulous ribeye, and the Lobster pasta was unbelieveably good. Service perfect. Expensive, and worth every cent.

Karen Ward

Food we ate was delicious. Service was excellent. But not enough vegetarian/ vegan options.

J

Really,??? to high end for this crack town . Overpriced toronto food. Patio set up in middle of street, where crackheads can stand & smoke right in front of you well you try and enjoy your 75.00 lobster. This place wont last long .

Len Skok

Great food, nice place friendly staff.

Cassie R.

Absolutely excellent experience at The Common Stove! Even with a limited menu, we were beyond satisfied with our choices. Also our server, Zoe, did a great job to provide us with different suggestions based on our preferences. The fillet and ribeye were both delicious. I've also never had brussel sprouts that tasted so good. Would highly recommend.

Jennifer Murimboh

Food was amazing!!

During the cottage season, my friend and I often meet in Orillia for dinner (a convenient half-way point for the both of us). We enjoy sampling the eclectic range of restaurant fare that Orillia has to offer and chose The Common Stove based on the favourable reviews from its customers. From start to finish, my "dining experience" was one big let down. Let's start with our server. I guess I didn't turn the pages from the wine & beer list fast enough as she took it upon herself to flip through the menu on my behalf and point to the selection I was interested in. After my friend and I ordered our drinks she continued to hover around our table asking if we needed any refills and if we had decided upon our dinner selection. It wasn't overly busy at this point in the evening so why ask us every ten minutes if we were ready to order? I decided upon the trout and after a few mouthfuls noticed the fish was raw in some places. I got the server's attention and mentioned it was undercooked. She offered no apologies and appeared annoyed that she had to send the plate back to the kitchen. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed with both the food and the service--especially when The Common Stove is promoting itself as an upscale establishment. Speaking of upscale, there was no air conditioning in the dining area. I hope this was just a temporary setback.

Happened to be in Orillia for the long weekend and bumped into this chic albeit hipster restro off the main street with a lovely patio on the side off the beaten path. We came here for dinner and was greeted promptly. Everyone had masks on (and properly positioned). We were seated and given 1 menu for the both of us. There was no QR menus available. We started with the Burrata board, lovely and fresh with tangy cherry tomatoes. EVOO drizzled and crushed basil made everything delightful. Would have been nice to have buttered crustini to accompliment the side. Our main was the Sunday Prime Rib roast. Both plates were a little inconsistent. My prime rib was on the rare side where my partners was closer to medium-rare to medium. Sprouts were crispy but undercooked by 60-90 seconds (though it was edible, none the less). Potatoes were lovely and fried, fully cooked and half potato pieces. Yorkshire pudding was fluffy but also dense interior. However, the best part was the jus and horse radish, perfectly paired and nice side to the plate. Overall, we enjoyed the restaurant -- with a little more time to refine some of the dishes, I believe this restro will be tops. Worth the stop by.

Claire Lam

What a great meal and experience all round. From the drinks, wine, service and the food. Food was on point well seasoned. ???????? thanks to chef Ben and team. Cocktails and wine recommendations from Caitlin and Kaylee were perfect. Truly a gem of a place. Definitely a must place to stop whenever in Orillia. Be back soon.!

Sean Osmond

If I could give a 6th star I would! Absolutely incredible meal last night! The flavour from the wood stove is tough to beat. We had Filet Mignon, and it was cooked perfectly. Loved the atmosphere, decor and the service was great. Exactly what Orillia needs. Cannot wait to go back!

Murray Fallis

Absolutely fantastic atmosphere The smell of the wood inside is fantastic to start off the experience or Toronto dining up North. The food and drinks are by far the best north of the city. I look forward to coming back here again and again.

Rafik Nassif

Great beer selection

Shawn Leslie

Awesome! Great food, excellent service, outstanding atmosphere. The wine list and cocktails are top drawer. Darcy, Simon and Ben provide a great experience.

Carolyn Tomkins

We had a lovely lunch at The Common Stove. We went for Saturday Brunch, was very happy with the burger and steak and egg special. The server was very knowledgeable, super friendly and made our experience more enjoyable. The best part other than the delicious food is the wonderful outdoor covered patio. The atmosphere they habe created with the decor and lighting is wonderful. The seating is clean and very comfortable. Although not allowed eating inside duento COVID restrictions, the interior is beautiful. We cannot wait to come back when the restrictions have been fully lifted.

Chantale Boileau

Great food and great atmosphere Love how it was busy and service was on point! Highly recommend

Amazing food. In the restaurant business not every table gets its stuff right all the time, but the owner was quick to make arrangements to improve the situation. Definitely will come back again. OMG THAT CHIMICHURRI ????

Bonnie Firmin

Happy birthday dinner celebration for my daughter turning 20! ... service was excellent and food was yummy.. I just wish they had a few more vegan/veggie options :)

For my first time ever going to a luxury style restaurant, I felt like a king there. I got a very warm welcoming, and the staff working are just the friendliest you could ever come across. To begin, I decided to go for their barrel-aged manhattan to start off for the drink. It was full of power, but it was sure good, to start things off with a wow! First thing I decided to go for was their red Argentenian shrimp, and let me tell you, the moment I bit into those with the lovely green sauce and their other sauce that look like a fancy mash, it was like I got kissed by a mermaid, with a hint of garlic goodness. That there was an excellent start. After that, came the Jerusalem Artichoke Soup, which was the middle part of the luxury ride, and it felt like I was entering a roller coaster ride with the Jolly Green Giant, only better! The artichoke and green garlic together, whilst still nice and piping hot, was truly a soup worth enjoying. But the ending was indeed the best part. I went with a filet mignon for the first time ever, and went for medium-rare like how Chef Ramsay would order it, and I have to say, it was yuuuuum-tastic! Oh, the tenderness and the juicy-uiciness was incredible. The broccolini tasted extra fresh, and had that wood fired grill taste. But that's not all, because with it, I went for the Yukon potato fries and I heard country music playin' in my head, the moment I bite into those, especially with that garlic aioli sauce. That was a main course done perfectly! Overall, this had to be the best dinner I've ever had. I don't even mind the prices, because in the end, you get what you pay for, and it was worth it, especially with how excellent the service is, and how the staff made sure you had plenty of water just in case to wash your meal down. I will be coming back! :)

Great new restaurant in the center of Orillia. Nice open kitchen. Great food. Definitely will be back.

Derick Lehmann

Stumbled across this fabulous eatery and we ate the most delicious prime rib Sunday roast. The Yorkshire’s were perfection and served with traditional roasted vegetables. Highly recommend this restaurant. A must try! Even the building is interning and historic. The owner Chris came for a quick chat to round off a lovely meal. Thank you The Common Stove for a lovely evening.

Shelley Brown-Tisler

Our go-to spot when in Orillia. Such an incredible atmosphere, decor is beautiful and the food is out of this world. 10/10 best burger i've ever eaten.

Rachael Howes

Great service great food

Had a wonderful dinner, great service from the whole crew for our group of 6. Darcy and the waitress were attentive. Food was delicious. Standout on the cowboy steaks and sides.

C Goul

Really great meal with warm friendly service in a beautiful, romantic setting and DELICIOUS food. You can’t go wrong.

Winston Siu

This was one of the best meals I've ever had. The Brocolini Ceaser, was so delish, the Lobster pasta was amazing.. No skimming on the lobster and the sauce was incredible. I would travel from the city just to come for another fantastic meal! Highly recommended!

Mary Langevin

Really nice place food was great but it was real pricey for the portions that they served. Service was decent and I had no problem there.

Lisa White

Truly a wonderful experience. Would have been a 5 star but they were limited on GF options. The meal was exceptional, the staff was great...they just need to have a couple of gluten free alternatives (crackers, pasta, accompaniments to the charcuterie) to make it complete.

John Lackey

Best breakfast I had in years.

Christine Sharpe

The restaurant is noisy, however the lovely decor and lighting make up for it. Food was pricey but fantastic, server was attentive but didn't hover. Definitely try the fillet steak if it's available.

Nathan Brown

Best brunch!!

ATEAMrT MRT

A new modern restaurant hits Orillia. From the decor to the food this place has everything Toronto would expect. Each plate is perfectly done with a beautiful presentation. I had the Burrata, Oysters, Caeser Salad, Steak, Brussel sprouts, Povlova. All incredible dishes. Locally sourced ingredients are even more special. Excellent wine selection with a good balance of price options. Price will be a huge surprise where its more than the average place on the strip but what a meal for a few dollars more. PPP is around $60-70 with drinks.

Mardi

Went for lunch with my wife. Place is really good and food was excellent. Portion sizes are great. The menu has a great variety and options. Excellent service and friendly staff. This place is Covid-19 safe. Recommend this place with five stars.

john purkiss

Lovely atmosphere, kind and welcoming staff and owner/manager, beautiful decor. All the food was prepared with care and everything was delicious. Haven't given it 5 stars simply because the menu posted outside indicated that several dishes could easily be made vegan (which is why we chose it) and once we were seated the vegan options were pretty limited, and neither the side nor the main contained any complex carbohydrates or protein - all vegetables and sauce, with a few chopped almonds on the side dish. Unfortunately not a complete meal, and while my spouse ate very well and enjoyed his app and entree, for $165 with tip I was hoping for a bit more value on the vegetarian/vegan plates. Hopefully the kitchen can put a little more thought into vegan/vegetarian fare. It's a shame when half of a party has a less than wonderful experience.

Chloe Verner

What an amazing night we had June 17th! My son, daughter and her 5 month old daughter went to the Common Stove for the first time and it couldn't have been a better night. Staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and we had one meal that wasn't quite right and they were quick to get a new one even though we felt badly. They said they wanted us to have a good experience and that we did for sure! The owner stopped by to check on us as well as our server who was awesome! We will certainly be back and would HIGHLY recommend this awesome restaurant to anyone who is looking for amazingly tasty food and wonderful accommodating staff!! We'll be back for sure!!

Paul Davies

Another incredible meal at The Common Stove. So happy this place opened up in Orillia. Had brunch there today at the chiefs table - would definitely recommend this. The Chief Ben really made the whole meal an incredible experience. From the food, to the staff - I could eat here every day!!

Alex A

Absolutely amazing! Very surprised Orillia has such a high quality restaurant. do your self a favor and get the steak. You won't regret this recommendation. Very unique and artsy plates.

I am so grateful to have such a wonderful restaurant in town. The Vegan options are creative and delicious. I come away feeling satisfied and well taken care of. The service is tops and the presentation of the meals are creative with great eye appeal. Even the meat eaters in our group are happy. The brunch is also worth a visit

The food, service and atmosphere were excellent. I came home from my first dining experience at The Common Stove and immediately made another reservation.

Shannon Shivers

Great food, friendly staff and an enchanting atmosphere. The best steaks you’ll find in town. And the best vegan dishes too. Wow!

Josh Horowitz

Excellent meal at the cozy outdoor patio. Cool night but the heaters compensated. Have the filet.

Michelle Ward

Great dining experience and excellent food! Smoked maple old fashioned is one of the best I've ever had! Don't miss out on the sticky toffee pudding either. 10/10 would go again!

This is the best place for steak in Orillia and the surrounding area. A must visit!

Bdt Kim

Great staff and great food. Tables are properly distanced. Nice spot for dinner with friends - but too noisy for an intimate dinner. Will return when I'm next in Orillia.

Elaine Jarvis

Great dinning experience. Food was wonderful. We dinned in the old horse and carriage passage. Beautiful ambiance. Service was super. Great facelift for the eastside of downtown Orillia.

We ordered the Sunday dinner for three. It was fantastic. Even though we had to do takeout because of covid it was warm and presented well out of the takeout containers. The cut of meat was prepared perfectly and the vegetables were just the right firmness. I'd love to know what the secret is with making their horseradish because it is amazing. Highly recommend!

Andrew Whitney

A truly unique find! Dined there with my wife and daughter and all of us were very impressed. We started with cold appetizers; oysters on the half shell that came beautifully shucked and presented with a delicious mignonette, and the steak tartare. Delicious! We transitioned to warm appetizers; grilled oysters, bone marrow and beef bread. The grilled oysters were buttery, garlicky with hint of citrus and deliciously warm with the faint aroma of the wood smoke from the grill. The bone marrow was wonderfully presented with toasted bread that was the perfect canvas to put it on...with pickled shallots and briny capers to cut the richness of the marrow. Don't get me started on the beef bread! Beef bread? This bit of wizardry from the mind of their head chef/owners is a heady throw back to something from the court of medieval royalty. Brioche dough baked around a swirl of beef (braised short rib and chuck) with blue cheese and herbs (I detected a savoury and eartly mix of tarragon, thyme and parsley) and drizzled with a jus of veal demi-glace! It was warm and divine. We shared it with a decadent red wine and it gave me goose bumps up both arms. Without a doubt, one of the most unique and enjoyable taste experiences that I have had the pleasure of. I would drive from Windsor to Orillia just to have that dish again. We capped our meal off with an entree (shared 3 ways due to the volume of food already ordered) of rib-eye steak, cooked to a perfect medium rare, with Yukon Gold french fries made even better with a garlic aioli and a side of roasted brussels sprouts with soy & fish sauce, peanuts and togarashi that was a plate full of umami. Not your average Steak Frites! Our only disappointment was that we had not saved any room for dessert. 5 well deserved and well earned stars! I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. This was a first time there and will NOT be our last even though we live 5 hours away. I only hope that they do not cut back on the quality of service, decor, food, and ambiance in any way. This place is a gem.

Incredible experience on the patio here! Love the alleyway for outdoor dining. Incredible food! We loved the oysters, beans and steak & fries. The espresso martinis were to die for. So happy we decided to come here!

Incredible food! The steak and fries are phenomenal. Oysters are amazing. Prime Rib meal is fantastic Service is very slow. Hopefully that improves. Service has improved big time. Thanks! Place is 5 star all the way.

What a great evening out. The food was perfect. The service was excellent. They was lots of spacing. I never felt rushed. I will be back.

Alexandra W

Food and service was good, found priced a little high for what it was. Would return, but likely skip the wine.

Susan Tucker

Outstanding filet and very good roast beef. Pleasant ambiance and very good service.

Stephanie Cooke

the over hyped common stove. i paid $14 for a gin gimlet made with bar rail beef eaters gin, i ordered the ribeye that was $52 and over salted to the point it was almost inedible, and then to get a side dish i had to spend another $10 on a veg that was there take on a caesar salad which was a miss. no way a couple should have to spend $200 for dinner with 2 drinks each. save your money and go to the Keg. there over hyped hipster vibe isn't worth the price. please please please don't go here ever!! cool looking patio though.

Douglas Tremblay

We just finished our second meal at The Common Stove. It has certainly lived up to the hype. Service and food have been second to none! Our third reservation is already booked!

Tracy Ray

Hands down the best steak i have ever had in my life

Clayton Hoddinott

What a fantastic date night in the Speakeasy Alley...thunderstorm and all! Staff were fantastic, especially our server James and the bartender who made the night extra special. Will definitely be returning!

Stephanie Littlejohn

This place is awesome! They have a menu different from other local restaurants, so it's kind of a "special/unique" place to go. Also, worth the mention, the open fire grill they cook on! If you can, get a place to sit (COVID) right in front of the grill is quite the experience!! Their Swinton Bar is fantastic as well. Their mixed drinks are great! They also have a great set-up in their side alley. Protected from the weather and quite cozy!! Go. Get the meat!!!

Suzanne Richard

Superb locally sourced and perfectly prepared food and drink, amazing friendly service, beautiful restaurant. Can't recommend enough.

Jacob Flaherty

I have only been there for drinks so I can not attest to the menu, but a well needed addition to the downtown core of Orillia. Located in the theatre and literary district of the city. There are some flaws' but it is pleasant to have a resto that woulda been pretty cool in Toronto in like two thousand and nine.

chris chapin

Great meal. Excellent service.

Rhonda Bilton

Cool vibe with a very interesting menu.

Haley V

Wood fired steak is great. Unique flavour. Nice cocktails. Pricey.

Greggory Weatherill

What a delicious meal! We ordered the Sunday night prime rib special and it was very good. The portions were big, which I like so you feel full. Cooking the food on the wood fired grill really brings out great taste. The decor inside was modern and clean, and I'd like to sit the alley next time outside There could be a few tweaks, like having free pop refills, but overall the food was the best I've had in the many restaurants I have visited in Orillia previously.

Dave Winfield

Fantastic food, great atmosphere. Best meal we have had in a long time!

Taylor Reid

Food and service waa excellent! Offered top selve tequila for the ceasar's too!

Michael Graham

The atmosphere was great. The steak was perfect. Absolutely perfect. Sticky toffee pudding was delicious. Service was solid. 4 star because the fries were meh.

Matthew Miller

A clean, fresh atmosphere with excellent service. We shared the Broccolini Caesar, trout and farrow , and handmade pasta. Food was delicious but small portions for the price. Maybe lunch next time!

Jason Menard

great food just not very much to choose from

Christian Murphy

Saturday night in the alley was intriguing. Definitely the best restaurant experience in town. Simon came by more than once to make a sure we were well cared for. Appetizers, main meals, dessert, and drinks satisfied steak lover as well as plant based foodie to make a marvelous event of catching up with family that was memorable.

Delaine Payton

The evening started out great until one of the servers dropped the dip for my son’s fries all over my pants and shoes. Then he hands me a wet cloth to wipe things down and says sorry? The waiter comes over with a beer and says here you go sir sorry? So the bill comes and they took my meal off nice that was nice but added the beer back on the bill lol. I think all and all the meal was ok not great. But the attitude after the accident sucked. Will we ever return probably not just over the attitude!!!

Both the service and food was fantastic. Really great beer selection, our group tried a couple of the sour beers and the white spiced stout, all are amazing choices. The steak was the real star of the show. Cooked with a beautifully caramelized crust and perfectly done in the center, the cowboy ribeye was a treat and the perfect size to share.

This was an amazing restaurant! There was an issue with our booking, but the staff made sure we would be seated within reasonable time.

Excited to find Simon's new restaurant in Orillia as excellent as the steakhouse he ran in Toronto. Visit The Common Stove for the Lake Country's best steak, smoked over a wood grill. The rib-eye cut (with the bone-in) was truly a sight to behold! Service first class too. Chocolate sorbet (yes, sorbet!) a perfect finish.

Best steakhouse in central Ontario, if not the province. Quality staff and amazing chef that adjusts the menu regularly to suit the season. If you want a steak, and you're in the area, please try out this establishment.

Joel Lees

I have been to The Common Stove for brunch and for dinner. We ate inside for brunch. The server was lovely, the food and drinks were amazing, the vibe was comfortable and fun and the service was fast! For dinner we are outside in the glorious outdoor seating. Even though it was cold outside, it was cozy and warm for us. We basically had a server to ourselves, she was wonderful, the food was out of this world, including the drinks and dessert. We have not had that much fun and such delicious food in a long time(aka Covid)!! All around, I highly recommend The Common Stove. Love!! Love!! Love!!❤️????

Matt D

After a long cold day we came in for dinner. Everything we ate and drank was exceptional! The staff were fantastic. I honestly walked out and told my wife we're eating here every time we're in Orillia. Will definitely be back

Melissa Tobin

Dinner tonight was just “OK”. Menu is very limited; Beef bread is dry & too salty; rib eye steak was gristly; kale Caesar salad was salty; tea was barely luke warm. Their version of a cosmo was excellent as was the beet beet salad and burger. Based on hype and positive reviews this place was a lunch bag let down. Everything is a la carte which equals expensive.

ryan mcnabb`

Great experience from start to finish! My ribeye was cooked exactly as I ordered it. The beef bread ws a great starter! My wife said the burger was awesome! The sticky toffee pudding was a perfect finish. Try the tonic (non-alcoholic) beverage- very refreshing!!

Corey Brown

Quite literally the best restaurant we’ve ever been to. Every time we dine here it is the most magical experience (yes, magical)! The staff are absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere is cozy, yet modern. My husband and I say it’s like if we designed our favourite place from New Orleans and brought it to Orillia. The drinks are unbelievable...you must have the Edmund Fitzgerald! The food...I have almost no words, it is that good. Each time we visit we are taken on a culinary journey. Trying to figure out all of the amazing flavours on our plate. My husband and I try each other’s food and wave our forks around in excitement. The Common Stove is an absolute gem to have in Orillia. We feel so fortunate! Also should mention this is one of the only restaurants we dine at during Covid because we feel very safe here and the space is very open and airy.

Meag Durkin

Made a reservation for a birthday dinner for two on the patio and it was incredible from start to finish. We ordered a few things to split, the brussel sprouts and broccolini Caesar salad were so good they almost made us forget about the ribeye in the middle of the table (also great). The bartender is top notch and was able to make an off the menu request for my dining partner and nailed it. Highly recommend this place, it's the best restaurant in Orillia - hands down. We will definitely be back to check out their fall menu.

Matthew Sturrock

Beautiful space and great food. Accomodated our office holiday party without issue. Would highly recommend.

Justin MacDougall

Sunday morning brunch - sensational!

Brenda S

Great place for a good meal, Orillia needs more restaurants like this one. Sunday Roast was a feast ! Cocktails are great and should be widely sampled. Beer selection is excellent with many local Ontario options. Prices may seem à little high compared to some other local Orillia staples but are very fair for the quality of food and service one receives. Main Washrooms are water closets in the basement, there is an accessible washroom on the main floor. They checked for vaccine passports upon arrival.

Jeff Sieger

Excellent service and exquisite food ????

Kira Patterson

Some miss happenings but owner was quick to respond which meant a great deal as a customer. We will most certainly return for what is exceptionally great quality food. Thank you Simon.

The restaurant has really bad service , they need improve their health standards! My friend’s dish basically is cold , so she asks the waitress what happens , the waitress just say this is the way they do it! How rude it is! The coffee we order has fly , my wife beef tartare has the hair in it. The Tortola disaster experience!

Fantastic service, amazing food, and lovely cozy vibe! We celebrated a family event here and the staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful. And everything on the menu was excellent - delicious kale Caesar salad, beet salad, burrata, and their fries are amazing.

Ashley Mills

Our dinner date for our wee jaunt into a COVID Green zone. What a fantastic modern concept. Reminds me of The Woodlot from T.O.s Little Italy before they closed. Angela's service was expert and enjoyable. Not pictured is the sticky toffee pudding which was devoured the second it was put before us. Literally, the best I've ever had.

Quality of filet was good, has the charcuterie board to start, not very full for the price. but a very confusing menu, aswell as ask what is in sauces because most contain some sort of nut and you wouldn't know by the name of the sauce, also price of a pop was crazy without refills especially when my whole glass was ice, would be nice to know its not free refills. Overall staff was great and atmosphere was nice, menu should be changed to be less confusing and the price was a lot for how little we got.
