  We showed up close to closing (9pm in the summer months), and there were a few straggling tables on a relatively large flagstone patio. The tables mostly had not been cleared, which I usually take as evidence of a busy evening service, but two staff sat inside rolling cutlery. A young man quickly greeted us and promptly cleared the table. Our view from the deck overlooking the patio provided minor glimpses of water, though we were within roughly 150m of the shore, and mostly comprised of the neighbouring marina's boat launch. The menu provided numerous world fare options on top of standard North American pub favourites (mahi mahi, banh mi--misspelled as bahn mai, beef pho, fish tacos, etc). My dining partners and I started with a round of beers and some wings. The wings were breaded, appeared to be an in-house breading, and generously sauced. If the review were of wings only, I would provide 4 stars. However, they did not come with carrots or celery and we did have to request a side of blue cheese. They were cooked very well, still moist, and provided a perfect crispy exterior texture that was balanced by a delicate fleshy interior. We followed up with the Market Burger and Fish Tacos. My compatriot with the market burger commented that the fried cheese topping was a nice tart counterpoint to the standard burger, but also remarked that the burger was a frozen pre-cooked commercial patty of a quality similar to that of an elementary school's soccer team fundraiser barbecue. All in all, dry and somewhat disappointing. The fries were somewhat floppy, but a nice thick-cut pub style (if not slightly mealy) that would have been well-served by a dash of salt and side of malt vinegar. Neither were offered. By the point of completion of the burgers, the Tacos had still not arrived. The server informed us that there was an error with the order, but ensured that they would be there promptly. When they did arrive, they were served in flour tortillas instead of corn, had basic toppings, and were fairly underwhelming. The prices did not reflect the quality of food, but the selection and attempts of dishes on offer, coupled with the location, made up for it satisfactorily. All in all, the location was great. The service was good. The facilities were good. The cleanliness was okay. The food was marginal at best overall, though the wings were a high point. 3 stars.

  Very cute craft show with lots of local vendors. Good variety of price points. Great place to bring the kids for some snacks.

  Our family enjoyed our first Thanksgiving weekend at our cottage this weekend, made perfect with a delicious dinner provided by Stoney Lake Market. The food was outstanding, done to perfection, from the first course of fall vegetable soup, followed by tender and juicy turkey dinner with scrumptious sides, ending with home baked pumpkin pie. Thank you for offering this service, making this year's family gathering a truly memorable experience, allowing more time for relaxation and conversation.
