While at the VW van event in the area, formerly knows as Bayfield Volkfest, and now in Goderich,…read moreand enjoying the summer like weather at the end of September in 2025, we ventured out for a restaurant meal and found this gem at the local gold course called The Maitland. I was craving a schnitzel and they delivered. Friendly service from the staff there as they were just opening at noon that Friday and we were asked kindly to wait a bit before they opened. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal while seated at the corner table with windows looking out two different directions over the golf course. That itself, was a fantastic feature of dining her. Parking was plentiful, and the drive was fun going under the little arched train bridge. Worth seeking out in the area.

A hidden gem!!! No really... this place is hidden...down from the top of the hill near the main…read moredrag in Goderich and along a winding little roadway, you drive through an old stone tunnel that opens up to this modest looking little restaurant that is anything but modest when it comes to delicious food, and warm welcoming service. Is the atmosphere modern and high end....no... were we comfortable and had a great view... absolutely... A very cool menu cover opens up to a diverse selection of options to satisfy the whole family with some Eastern/central European favourites that caught my attention....My wife and son went with the seared salmon where I opted for the classic schnitzel....We were all completely satisfied with our meals from the salmon which was buttery, cooked to perfection (that a lot of places screw up) to my extra crispy full of flavour schnitzel on a bed of crispy yet soft spätzle...washed down with a cold Czech Pilsner and a classic gin martini... I was in a very happy place!! But that didn't stop my son from ordering the decadent River fritter... or I think we accidentally called it the River tail... no idea why... but it was delicious!! Looking forward to exploring the menu further on our next visit to Godrich!! Thank you!! Zeke

They have done a nice job sprucing things up a bit and revamping the kitchen. Hope to see the red carpet in the dining room go at some point. A bit under staffed as they get on their feet a lot of work for one person at front of house to manage, quite a long wait for walk ins due to covid restrictions on the dining room. Definitely call ahead for a reservation. Staff was friendly and polite took our order correctly. Our meals where pretty good! We got two orders of the Fisherman's platter. One with fries and one with a Ceasar salad. Breading on the fish was light the halibut was a nice large piece! Cooked perfectly nice and flakey not greasy at all. The scallops and shrimp where cooked well too. Chips where fresh and light. The Ceasar salad was not worth the 3.50$ dollars for the upgrade. They just tossed two strips of bacon with it. No croutons, red onion or even parmasean. Was also dissapointed that they didn't do a home made tartar sauce and also no lemon provided with the fish. At first I was excited to see the paper in the take out bag! Then realized they wrapped the take out box in paper. Hopefully they will cut back on the waste and just wrap the fish in that beautiful paper moving forward. Would really love to see this place stick to fish and chips and sea food options and perfect their sides. Would love to see more fish and seafood meals and stay away from the burgers etc and really specialize on the seafood. There's plenty of wing and burger family restaurants and I think they could really make a go of it if they keep it simple, fresh and refined! Found it a bit pricey but overall enjoyed out meals great piece of fish! This cost us 70$ with tax.

Little did we know it was also next to a park that was celebrating pride month. The only downside was that there were two live bands, playing different music competing with each other. On the bright side, Daphne, our server was super! She did a great job! We ordered adult beverages, my wife, a spiced peach iced tea while I ordered a Caesar. I figured it out earlier that a Caesar is actually a bloody Mary. Their bloody Mary comes with a nice pickle and a big chunk of a Slim Jim and plenty of sea salt around the rim. The bloody Mary was delicious! For our lunch, my wife ordered a buffalo chicken wrap while I ordered one of their seasonal specials, a shrimp and lobster stuffed pita subbing out the french fries for their Caesar salad. My stuffed Pita's were absolutely delicious! And my wife was able to eat half of her buffalo chicken wrap. We had a good time gauging conversation with some of the locals as well. If we would be locals, we would be back!

The food was fresh and delicious. We would not hesitate to return if we are in the area again!

We went out to the patio and so did some other tables. We all sat there for 25 min and no one came to serve us. My partner went inside to order drinks for us and asks if a waitress was coming outside? They said he had to pay for his drinks up front and they would sent someone out. I can understand if this was a busy weekend but the place was not busy. We waited another 15 minutes and I went inside to ask if a server was coming outside to take our order. The woman behind the bar asked how many were outside I said lots of tables. She said oh we didn't know I'll send someone out. In the mean time the owner or manager was making himself drinks and sitting at the bar drinking. Servers standing around chatting after we asked repeatedly if anyone was coming out to take an order. Few minutes later one waiter comes out and stood next to our table. I said hi eager to give him our food order and he looked at me and walked away?! He went to the next able and asked if they needed to order. They said yes they needed to order food and the waiter looked at them and went inside!! At this point I was worried about what the quality of the food would be with this service and such a large menu and looked up the restaurant. After reading other reviews we decided to finish our drinks and leave. We went to the bistro down the road which was a much improved atmosphere and experience. Will not be back here . No one is managing this place. If I could give no stars I would

The cooking oil--which in other places seems to have been around for a while--was also FRESH. That makes a difference. SO tasty. Most of their business seems to be carry out. No problem. It was pleasant to eat our fish and chips at the tables in the central plaza of Stratford--where we could watch the life of the town go by. Someone else mentioned that the portions are LARGE, and while it sounds impossible, one piece really is plenty. I ordered two pieces, and didn't even order chips (just sponged off the kids' portions--they didn't miss 'em). I still had a piece left over for lunch. But if we'd been smarter, we'd have ordered less the first time, and stopped by again for another fresh, hot, and tasty serving.
