This restaurant's sit in an old revitalized church and there is a lot of charm to it. From the stain glass windows to the beautiful chandeliers, it's definitely a beautiful place for any celebration. The staff here are very friendly however we did get a newer staff member who seems to not know the menu well. We had a misorders and the food did take a while to come out. Mind you, we weren't in a rush so it wasn't a big concern and they were very apologetic for bringing us the wrong food, which they corrected promptly. The food itself was good. Everything came out on warm plates and tasted great. We went for brunch so we had brunch/lunch options for food. I will say the food was tasty but nothing out of the ordinary. You definitely come here for the ambiance more than the food. Though despite saying that, the fries were super crispy and hot, and I really enjoyed the duck flat bread which was pretty unique. All in all a wonderful celebration and beautiful space.

Food-wise, pretty average brunch/lunch menus. They did have a nice variety of eggs Benedict renditions and sandwiches. Service seemed a bit slow & not too familiar with the menu, but still pleasant. We tried: -Duck flatbread (5/5, loved the textures and the pickled pear flavours) -Leek & smoked Salmon tart (4/5, I will say the tart had an incredibly tiny portion) -Beef & shrimp eggs Benedict (4/5) -Steak & eggs -fried Chicken burger -monte cristo sandwich -Reuben sandwich Honestly, all the food tasted good and was cooked well. Albeit smaller portions for some of the non-sandwich dishes and prices slightly higher than your typical. TIP: Make sure you walk around and tour their upstairs floor!

Fantastic food, killer comedy show! Drive in from Toronto to…read moredo a comedy show, almost ate Mexican across the street but as a vegetarian and performer on the show I decided to give the falafel sliders a chance. Only $3.50! So I got two and added a $5 quinoa, arugula, apple slice salad. I thought this place was way to classy for the tater tots but for only $3 I threw them into the meal and was pleasantly surprised at how well they paired with the goat cheese dressing on salad. Thoroughly impressed.

Beautiful decor! It is so elegant and heavenly white with classical or piano concerto playing in the background!! The dining area could not have been anymore romantic and intimate. My beau and I loved the open brunch table in the centre of the main dining area, where you can get endless servings of fruits including strawberries, pineapples, and dragonfruits!! We have never eaten dragonfruits for brunch at any hotel before! So exotic! We ate so many slices. Service was a collective team effort and everyone was welcoming, attentive and super friendly. I can tell that they all enjoyed working there from their seemingly genuine smiles and bubbly personalities! The food there was so good!! Everything was cooked to perfection! We had their prix Fixe Easter brunch special and it was worth every dollar!! What a beautiful way to celebrate both Easter and my beau's birthday!! My beau was so impressed and thankful of me for booking and paying for brunch here that he is planning to treat me here next year for his not so surprising proposal!!! When the staff knew of his plans, the receptionist immediately gave us a tour of their suites and amenities!! What excellent and attentive service!! I will definitely come back here in the near future for a couple retreat or weekend getaway!! Stratford is such a cute town with so many good restaurants and hotels open during their famous and busy Stratford Festival season, but this hotel and restaurant really stood out to the both of us!! 5/5 would highly recommend!!

Location/Service Stumbled upon this place while doing a day…read moretrip. This spot is right by the river with patio setup in the summer. Inside is very big and can accommodate large groups (best to reserve in advance). You can also sit by the bar if you like. Typical bar and grill setup - I like the little pieces of decor to spruce up the vibe. Staff were very nice, I'd really like the bartender who gave recommendations for first timers and explain the menu. Food Menu has a lot of typical bar & grill items, but with a Newfoundland twists since it's Newfoundland style. So definitely try dishes that are more known on the east end - like Newfie Fries, Lobsters, Cod au Gratin, Newfie Steak Dinner. The steak is a maple leaf bologna and not you're typical meat - more of the saltier and drier side. Newfie fries is a type of dressing that uses bread crumbs and yellow onions - again more of the saltier side, but it matches quite well with gravy as a poutine. Food pricing overall is very standard and not overly expensive. Portion sizes were very generous, had to pack it to go. Overall a good find if you're in the neighbourhood and traveling, great to explore and learn more about Newfoundland food.

Loved this place! My cousin had his wedding here and it was pretty wonderful. The property is…read morebeautiful as is the old barn! The space was big enough to sit comfortably-inside or out- and dance. I loved the vintage decor on the walls (moose antlers, old tools, etc) and the animals (cows, a horse that stood perfectly still between the sign-super weird- and the cats) were sweet. The venue had a fun, laid back, and warm feel. I definitely recommend this as a wedding venue.

When my niece advised us she was getting married in a barn...we thought to ourselves "ok...this…read morewill be interesting". The "barn" really isn't a functioning barn (although at one time it looks like it was), it's now used more for weddings, shows and dances. We arrived earlier in the morning to assist the wedding coordinator in transforming the venue into something resembling a wedding space. Despite our initial hesitation, the venue is larger than you think, with a main level and upper level. Her wedding reception was around 250 guests, and it was comfortable enough. Anything larger might be stretching it. Loads of character, the ceremony took place in the main space, then a front space was opened for a cocktail reception (while the coordinator flipped the room for a meal). The stage (where bands perform) was utilized for wedding pictures. There are a few negatives: 1) not alot of bathroom space. The mens were two urinals and two stalls. The womans was four or five stalls. Thete were lineups for both 2) its really out of London, so my niece had to book buses (shuttles) for wedding guests. Despite the two negatives, its a pretty neat place for a wedding. She had hoped to get married outside, but the rain prevented that from happening. If you're looking for a wedding space, its unique, intersting and rustic.
