I revisited Gananoque in mid September 2022 while on vacation. The last time I was here was over 50 years! I'm glad I stopped for a couple of hours although the peak season was over and the few local attractions were closed. What was not...closed were a few great dining establishments including the Stonewater.
This is a great place! IT appears to have been a very old home that was transformed into a English style pub.
There are two dining rooms, one on each floor. I sat upstairs for the view of the St.Lawrence River. Both dining rooms were rustic style and very clean. (Sticky floors and table according to another review?? Hardly! They must have been somewhere else.)
I was there in the early afternoon so it was not busy and there was one server. Although some may consider the service a little slow, I'm into slow dining so my 90 minutes there did not bother me. Yes, it took about 40min for my lunch to arrive but again, I didn't care. I was on vacation.
The food was fantastic! I tried the fish and substituted a chef side salad for the fries. WOW! The ingredients were really fresh! The offering was more cuisine than it was pub fare. The coating on the fish was just slightly crispy, the way I like it.
It was a little expensive (my check was $21 after tax, no beverages) however the high quality of the fish and salad more than made up for it.
I don't like to spend this kind of money for lunch, however, it was such a great experience, I'd do it again on my next visit to Gananoque.More
