What is in the salad dressing for the cornerstone salad?

I believe a vinaigrette.

I had the avocado fries which were delicious! My friend's meal was very over priced for the amount of food on her plate. I guess depending on what you are ordering, it can be pricey!

Good food, good service, good atmosphere. And updating a year later. Still consistently good. Fast, friendly service every time. And food is always up to expectations.

My significant other and I brought our friends out for dinner as they were visiting Kenora for a quick trip. I suggested the Cornerstone and everyone was extremely happy at the end of the meal. We had excellent service from the moment we walked in. The drinks were delicious and came quickly. I recommended that everyone should get the “famous” Cornerstone salad as a starter, and everyone enjoyed it so much they even bought a jar of the homemade salad dressing to take home! Everyone had large entrees with different proteins and everything was cooked to perfection. The portions were very big and really reasonably priced for what we received. We sat on the back patio and the twinkle lights topped the whole experience!

Love this place. The dishes all have that little something special about them and are reasonably priced. You can eat out back, on the outdoor patio with a view of the beautiful Kenora Bay and watch all the passersby make their way through this shopping district. Service was great and we have enjoyed lots of great lunches with friends here.

Very nice. Sat out on deck at rear which overlooked a parking lot, but if you looked farther you saw the lake. Our food was very good. The 4 of us shared an order of Pub Style Nachos. Really good. I had the Walnut & Beet Salad. Very good.

Fantastic restaurant and my #1 place to eat in Kenora. They have a chicken/bacon/mushroom carbonara that I highly recommend and I hope they never take it off their menu. Cool building and atmosphere. Back patio catches the sunset on summer evenings. Nice cocktails and desserts as well.

Visited Kenora for the first time and decided to try out this spot. The food was delicious and came out relatively quickly. Service was great. The salad was to die for! I had the Almond Crusted Chicken with Lemon Dill Risotto, and my companion had the Chicken and Shrimp Surf and Turf. We were both very satisfied. Definitely recommend!

Visited Cornerstone on Harbourfest long weekend, our server was super friendly and attentive which really made the experience excellent! Considering our group had 3 kids she did a great job engaging with them. Food came out in reasonable time and was great, no complaints . Will go back again in the future for sure.

This place me and my partner stopped at a few times. The patio was my favorite part; had a great view and enjoyed the atmosphere. The service was great. The staff was real friendly and seemed to enjoy their jobs. On one of our visits we tried the food; I had the mussels and he had the poutine. The mussels were the best I have ever had. They came recommended by some locals and they didn't disappoint. The poutine was good, as far as poutine goes, the balsamic adds to the final touch of flavour. Very quaint and will be back to enjoy another sangria next year.

Always a popular place for supper and the Cornerstone salad is usually exceptional. The steaks were good last night, tasty and cooked right and s good cut but not exceptional. Probably the best place for a steak in Kenora but not a "Kenwood" class of cut.Service was very good despite the place being full last night. Drinks served quickly as were refills and the meals arrive hot and served to all five of our party within minutes.Cornerstone enjoys a very good location in the downtown core, with plenty of street parking and a lakeside parking lot just down the hill. In warmer months they also have a nice big patio overlooking the Lake. There is a washroom on the main floor but the other two are downstairs a winding stair. Clean and well used. It's a regular "go to" for myself throughout the year. I recommend making reservations for supper as it fills up fast in the busy season.I'd give 4.5 stars if it were an option.

The Cornerstone is a casual restaurant in the main business area of Kenora. It is located inside an historic looking building and overlooks the harbour front. I enjoyed lunch here during a day trip to Kenora on July 27, 2020, and ordered the Beets and Sweets Salad Bowl. It tasted incredible! I also enjoyed their red sangria. They had other plant based options including a veggie burger and different salad varieties. There was seating inside and outside on the patio looking out to the harbour front. We had to wait about 15 minutes to get a table during the busy lunch time which wasn’t bad. The service was friendly and prompt. Really enjoyed my experience eating here and would return!

We were passing through Kenora on our way home from thunder Bay, stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised at how helpful the staff was, reasonable prices and a great selection of local draft beer. I can guarantee that we'll be back the next time we are out that way.

Over priced. We had fish and chips. It tasted fine but for the price you would think they could give you a coleslaw or even a slice of 🍅.
