    We had an excellent dinner at the Parlour Inn. The food and the service were both fantastic. We are already planning our next trip back to Stratford and the Parlour Inn is in our plans. Now, to the bad part……..the Raspberry Truffle Martini. Whatever you do, don’t try this as you’ll end up having FOU of them like we did!! LOL. One of the best mixed drinks we’ve ever had. We would recommend dining here to anyone.

    My mom is in a wheelchair and I mentioned that at the time of booking. They were so gracious in accommodating us (party of 4) at a window table where mom could sit easily. The food was great! My husband proclaimed that it was the best restaurant food he’s had in a long time. He had the French onion soup and the pasta special. Our server, Faith, went above and beyond. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back !

    Food was excellent although it was not piping hot. We had the Easter dinner menu - choosing chicken, salmon and roast beef (up charge of $20). Service was great.

    We went to the Easter Brunch. The food was delicious and plentiful, some of the staff were pleasant. Our server was definitely not one of them. We were appalled that at $55 per person the coffee and juices were not included. And we were not told that it was extra. Now looking at the menu again coffee and juices were not listed but it never occurred to us that at such an exorbitant price we would have to dish out more for coffee. We will never return to the Parlour Inn.

    Service was spotty. The extra Parmesan requested for the salad took almost 20 minutes to arrive, server admitted she forgot. The water was tap water and tasted horrible. Requested sparkling water which took at least 30 minutes to be delivered. Prime rib wasn’t medium rare as promised and the gnocchi was poorly seasoned. Overall, not the best experience.

    Undoubtedly the best place for Fish and Chips in Stratford, and their Pavlova is an absolute must if you have some room left for it. Good value, good food and good service.
