We often dine out in Oakville but unsure why we’ve never been here before. It was an unexpected pleasant surprise and likely to become our ‘go to’ restaurant which we’ve been looking for since Jonathon’s closed several years ago. Everything about the dining experience exceeded our expectations but what set it apart was how they made the evening feel personal. It felt more than just a place to have great food and wine with outstanding service.

About the restaurant

Stella's Lounge @ Jack & Stella offers our customers a little bit of everything. So many people have walked through the door and said, “wow this is so sweet” while many others remember days gone by when this building was a General Store. We are so pleased to bring you our version of a General Store. Our goal it to be your destination, that place where you want to come and can’t wait to bring a friend. The home away from home where your kids want to go and will remember for years to come. A place where friends will meet on a Saturday afternoon by boat or girlfriends will save the date for that special getaway weekend. We are clear about our purpose and our mission. We aim every day to provide you with an unbelievable customer experience coupled with an awesome selection of goods and food products, yummy eats and really tasty drinks. Cheers.

North York / Don Mills

About the restaurant

Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry.

In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Try our Cluckin’ Fresh Chicken Fingers, made and seasoned with fresh, never frozen chicken tenders. This isn’t run-of-the-mill pub grub. Our Band of Chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration.

But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

Excellent lunch with colleague. Low noise level. Great food and service. I asked for lemonade. Server said it was carbonated which I don’t like but said she would ask bartender to make it non carbonated. It was delicious! Salmon bowl was really good.

We have an amazing view, the waitress and host were both awesome. The food was great and just the right amount. The downside….we waited just over an hour for our food. The restaurant was not overly busy and other tables that arrived after us were served. To top it off we had a reservation. That was the only hiccup To an otherwise good experience.
