Greystones Restaurant and Lounge

We really enjoy independent restaurants, and had heard great things about Greystones, so headed over to Orangeville. It would seem they renovated and added to an old stone building, and the result is very impressive. Quite attractive from all angles. We were seated in the main dining area, along the wall at a large window. So we had a nice view, and there is quite a garden outside with lavender plants. So we were able to watch bees flitter about and pollinate while we ate. The atmosphere is very comfortable, and the various rooms are tastefully decorated. Our server, Michael Stafford, was exceptional, patiently explaining various dishes to us and the origins of the ingredients. It was apparent quickly that he was a committed ‘foodie’. On his advice we split a Greek Salad to start, and then we both had pasta dishes, mine with beef tenderloin, and my wife’s with salmon. All of the dishes were excellently prepared and delicious. They have a team approach to service, and all of our needs were well met. The washrooms are almost elegant and very clean. The price point is what you would expect of a restaurant of this pedigree. So nothing at all critical to say. Just a wonderful experience, and we would love to come back.

Update August 2025. Went with 2 others for dinner. Everything was immaculate including the service. Very lovely. Will recommend to anyone. Drinks and food are top notch. Went here for dinner with a special someone. Dressed up and it was worth it. The experience from setting foot inside to the drinks, the food, the servers, the atmosphere, would definitely return. A bit on the pricey side but worth it.

Our favourite place to visit! I’ve held wonderful gatherings in their private event space, that can be rented out for the upmost privacy and intimate gatherings! As well as their lower level business room, for the same. We never fail to prioritize Greystones on a night out, as the food is NEXT LEVEL. The attention to detail and ingredients, sets their menu apart from any other, subject to their prices of course. Greystones is truly one of the most beautiful (inside and out) restaurants, and their service is top tier. Mackenzie is the best to work with; for planning events! We always look forward to our next visit!

We stumbled upon Greystones while looking up somewhere for lunch after hiking at Mono Cliffs. We were celebrating a birthday with the hike so wanted to treat ourselves a little bit after. The restaurant is beautiful and has a very clean, classy atmosphere. Took a peek at the private dining room by the washrooms and they looked lovely. There was a mix-up with the dinner menus being given to us instead of the lunch one - we were all a little disappointed we couldn't actually try what we originally picked. The food we ended up ordering was still delicious, as were the drinks. The servers were friendly and attentive enough - not hovering over. Overall a nice spot to visit but it is a little pricey - so definitely more of a special occasion one.

Food was really exceptional. You can tell the ingredients were top notch. The drinks were good, the house sour was awesome. We had the tuna, calamari, salmon and omelette. All were fantastic. They also easily accommodated any allergies.

We enjoyed our meal here. Great service. The food was incredibly fast, I’d almost say too fast for the price and atmosphere. But it was tasty, well portioned and the service was excellent.

Absolutely amazing! The food was exquisite but what made it exceptional was the service. Our server Owen had so much attention to detail from the wine selection and the description of the food. We have been here several times and we are never disappointed.

My wife and I enjoyed our first time dinner at Greystones. Beautiful building and decor. The atmosphere was very nice, although I didn’t enjoy the choice of music throughout our sitting. The food was very good and the plating very nice. Service was generally good. We waited a very long time for our main course. We were told the kitchen was busy. Strange since we had our orders in about 6:15pm on a Thursday that was not so busy. Starters: oysters, octopus and bread; drinks one glass of wine; one beer; mains: halibut and rack of lamb; dessert: one crème brûlée to share. Cost: $240 +tip, which was an expected cost of such a nice meal in a beautiful building. We will come back.

Went here for a 80th celebration. First of the place is nice, a destination into itself. Second the food is very nice. We had the oysters which were fresh and full of flavor. Then the ahi tuna which was delightful, a little tang a little spice. Wow. The calamari was different, not heavily battered rather literally in a panko coating. Wonderful. The basil spaghetti was so fresh and fantastic. Wow. I wanted more. But the stand out winner is the filet mignon. Juicy tender and cooked perfectly as medium rare plus. Ended with the coconut cream pie which was bold and subtle with taste and sugar. A great place for a nice dinner.

I was finishing up a call in my laptop on the patio 17 min after closing When Nicole from the cafe, straight up sprayed me with water. Probably not the best.

Greystones Cafe is a lovely cafe located in Orangeville, adjacent to sister restaurant Greystones Restaurant. The space has clean, modern rustic vibes. They also have a great patio with plenty of seating. Note that they limit seating time to 45 min due to the smaller venue and to allow other guests to be seated. There is an extensive selection of sandwiches, salads, baked goods, and beverages. Prices are steep, but quality is evident in everything they make. What I recommend: - the pesto chicken panini ($12) - the pulled pork quesadilla (flavourful and delicious) - the famous coconut cream pie (of Scaramouche fame, and priced accordingly at $13 per slice!) (the best I've had with a great flaky crust, tons of coconut cream filling and lots of white chocolate shavings) -the vanilla latte (delicious) Less enthusiastic about: - earl grey lemon loaf - not too sweet but was a tad dry - iced vanilla chai with oat milk - was creamy but lacking in the spice factor Would definitely return when in the area. The quality of the food speaks for itself.

I have eaten at Greystones on approx 10 different occasions but this time warranted a review as the meal was varied in a way that was disconnected from what I am used to from this establishment. There was expense spared at Greystones when it comes to ambiance. To disagree with this statement is to be willfully ignorant the the meaning of the word ambiance. We started off with cocktails, I had a few vodka Martini's which I requested to be dry. Neither were dry and both were served in a small mouthed Nick and Nora glass which was strange. While the volume of the cocktail may have been the same as a classic Martini glass, it appeared like it was less and was off putting. One the drinks had 4 olives in it and the next 3....consistency is the mark of excellence IMO. We had several appetizers at our table. The Tuna Tartare is amazing, order it and don't look back. The oysters were fresh, we had a dozen, though we weren't told where they were from and I'm a little picky with my oysters. The octopus I ordered was overdone, and I could t cut it with my knife. The calamari was light for being fried and salty, which I liked. The onion and beans mixed in made a lot of sense in the dish. I had the venison as my main and it was cooked rare-medium rare as a loin should be, but lacked seasoning. A large rarer piece of Meat like this should be seasoned well, especially game meat. The wood ear mushrooms and grilled Onion were a great compliment to the dish, although I think a starch on the plate would have gone a long way. The coconut cream pie is perhaps the most endearing item on the menu, a favorite of my wife and all who frequent the spot. Not complaints about its consistency at all. After it was all said and done the bull came to a tidy $750. A sum that IMO did not entirely match the quality of the meal but was also representative of the cost of alcohol at this restaurant. It's very pricey to have a few drinks and out bill was mostly alcohol. I will say that the service at Greystones is impeccable, and has never been otherwise.

Hello. Just a comment. For me, dining out has become luxury. That being said, I have dined at the cafe more than a few times. The treats and sandwiches are excellent. I do miss the roast beef sandwich. My only complaint is the service. Staff is not engaging, not friendly, or smiling. It would make a better experience for the customer if they showed an interest

Greystone is one amazing restaurant in Orangeville that i highly recommend you should trek to outside of Toronto! I live in Oakville so it was a bit of a drive to come here but it was super worth it! It's in a really cool old building in downtown Orangeville. The food here is amazing and I'm glad i went here with my friend who is a regular at the place. We ordered a couple of things and a lot of desserts! Shared the tuna tartare, a great starter. The tuna wasn't as gamey. I got the Peppercorn Tagliatelle as my main. Loved it! It was so truffle-y and al dente noodles! For dessert, i got their coconut cream pie and shared the bread pudding! They're all so tasty! I'd love to come back here again! Definitely will trek all the way here for greystone!

As always our experience at Greystones was fantastic. We went up for a Tuesday evening date night and enjoyed the amazing food, wine and atmosphere. Owen, our server, made sure our evening was perfect and it was great to see him again! Greystones is always enjoyable and the food perfection.....also we killed the crème brûlée

I wanted to give this four stars but I cannot. Went for dinner and the place looks amazing post renovation. Very well put together CoVid protocols with barriers between the tables. We have eaten at Greystones before (previous owner) and really enjoyed the meal. One thing that may seem small but to me shows the customer loyalty is they want $7.00 for what use to be the complimentary bread. This is not acceptable and you can ask people if they would like it to keep cost down at and not charge. I really dislike when restaurants nickel and dime the customers. Our server was great and friendly. I had the Cesar Salad and they were very sparing on the dressing in which most leafs had no dressing on it. I do think it would have been very good if it would have had more as I liked the taste. I had the burger with fries and had to ask for ketchup which is fine, but they brought a very small amount which was not enough. The burger was cooked to order and tasted very good and would recommend. The rest of the family enjoyed their dishes. Overall we did enjoy the meal but think they could do some things better.

Service was absolutely outstanding. Our waiter was well informed and funny which was a bonus. Food was stupendous - highly recommend the tartare. Delightful ambience and uniquely creative décor. A well managed operation and it shows!

What a find! Totally recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal north of Toronto. The service was exceptional and fast. Deep wine list Long Scotch list too! You won't be disappointed if you decide to stop by. d.

Very welcoming and comfortable place. The coffee is great and lots of pastries, even gluten-free. Now for regular pastries there is a lot of choice. Gluten-free option is usually 1 only. Not bad but at least 2 would be great. The prices are on the high side for example a small coffee and a gluten-free scone $8.50. However they taste good and someone could say the price doesn't matter if the product is good (kind of). Great place in Orangeville and even and outdoor patio.

Wow! What an experience! The food here was amazing! It was a fancier restaurant with amazing service and perfect ambiance. I got the peppercorn tagliatelle which was to die for. We also got the tuna tar tar, Caesar salad, and baby gem salad which were are delicious. Lastly, we got the Ontario pork, the burger, and the bucatini which shocker was amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant as someone nice to eat!

Best date night spot in Orangeville! It's great food, great service and amazing drinks. Will definitely be returning,

Okay, $36.00 for an overrated pork chop that was so sodium heavy I couldn't eat it. Served will a soy (More sodium) based sauce and A few julienned vegetables. So disappointing.

My wife and her friends were just there and were informed that grated parm for pasta is a $3 charge, we won't be back.

We had a delicious meal here for my husband's birthday. Service was great, the restaurant is beautiful and all of our food and drinks tasted amazing! Highly recommend going here for a special occasion.

We ordered the House Made Hummus, Parmigiano Reggiano Frites, Sautéed Mixed Mushrooms, Saffron Shellfish Risotto and the 10oz New York Striploin. Everything came out hot and was delicious though I found the risotto to be undercooked a little bit the flavour was great with good sized pieces of seafood. The steak was a good cut but didn't have much flavour, maybe it just needed more salt to bring the flavour out? Idly I did not enjoy the 2021 Malbec Septima (I usually love Malbec) so I exchanged it for the 2019 Pinot Noir Benton Lane (Willamette Valley, Oregon) which was also pretty dry but much better. The waiter and multiple waitresses that brought us our food were friendly and polite. We would definitely come again.

Amazing steak. The rosemary fries were awesome too. Great patio. Classy; upscale, recently renovated. Great wine list, you can go from $40 to $800. Private parking. Definitely will come back.
