The Stagecoach Inn — Restaurant in Rideau Lakes

This place is an absolute gem. The Stagecoach was recently renovated under new managers. The menu has something for everyone. Light lunches like homemade soup and beautiful salads with homemade vinaigrette. They have wonderful pizza, and sandwiches (example Reuben) lovely drinks, wine and great craft beer selections. The staff are very attentive, and knowledgeable about the food they serve. The decor is comfy-cozy with hommage to the original building's design. In addition, they have a lovely little shop attached with unique gourmet food /cooking items, including wonderful cheese, frozen scones and frozen pizza to cook at home. They also have lovely dishes/cooking utensils/kitchen gadgets....jelly beans, Gelato and stuff for your pets. Highly recommend. It's about a 25 mins drive from Perth... on the main street in Newboro....

I’ve had better meals at fast food places. Overall, substandard to inedible food and service for the...

Mothers day meal 2017. A salad, a main, and a desert ... $60 each. No coffee, no wine, no drinks .... $120 plus tax. Wife's main meal was salmon. The salmon was good (very small portion) the 2 spears of asparagus were cold as was the rice. The Salad was OK. The desert was good. My meal was OK. Caesar salad was ok. Main was lamb, which was a bit tough but hot, mashed spuds hot, 2 spears of asparagus cold. Our waitress was good but the maitre d who seated us was the same miserable guy who was there last year when we went. He needs to get another job. The desert was good.

Bottom line, for $60 a plate it was substandard. We...
