But all we had time to eat was the soup, as we were in a rush to get to our play before the curtain rose...the menu looked good, though, and the experience of rooftop dining was very nice.

We were staying at the Queen's Inn so this was a no-brainer. We used our tickets to try "Jalapeno Poppers" topped with caramelized red onion bacon marmalade with a half pint of Creemore Springs craft beer. Needless to say, our tongue's taste buds got quite a workout.

Excellent service. We had poutine and were very pleased. The fries and curds were fabulous. They do use some vegan substitute for St. Hubert's sauce, but it wasn't bad. We did order a couple of the creative poutines, and so can offer our opinion on those. My wife loved her goat cheese poutine. I tasted it and agree that it was quite tasty. But one might question whether it is a true poutine since the cheese is chevre and not cheddar curds (that may seem obvious, but I'm just pointing this out lest a purist look for goat cheddar curds). My poutine had curds, but I elected to have the pulled pork poutine and so had to adjust to a surprise: BBQ sauce! I didn't find the juxtaposition of St. Hubert's sauce & the BBQ sauce so agreeable, and so did a little separating rather than eating my pork with the poutine. Mileage for others may vary. We do recommend this place highly, though, if you are in Stratford. We saw the burgers go by and they looked amazing. The price is a little high, but you do get what you pay for. Bon appétit!

A saturday in october...off to see billy elliott at the theatre after lunch....with that in mind, lunch had to be slightly sped up....the service did not disappoint...friendly, efficient and attentive....unfortunately, the food was just mediocre....sweet potato waffle fries were underdone...the wifes reuben was soggy on the bottom....properly made, it would have had a thin layer of meat followed by sauerkraut and topped with the rest of the meat...this one had the sauerkraut right against the bottom piece of bread....wings were spot on, no problem there....all in all, a rush job in a pub designed for that specific reason....Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your visit to Bentleyâs.Your feedback is extremely important to us, as it assists us in maintaining and improving our high standards.We do hope you'll visit with us again the next time you are in Stratford and we can deliver your meal just the way you like it!

4. Molly Bloom's Irish Pub

My wife and I stopped by Molly Bloomâs for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. We both ordered the Chicken Taco Salads at 18 CAD each It took about 20 minutes for our salads to be brought out and quite honestly, they were a disappointment given the cost of the salads. The greens were a spring mix that contained some wilted and discolored greens. The chicken breasts were rather small in size and the remainder of the saladâs ingredients were typical of what could be found in any other salad on the menu. Aside from a taco seasoned salad dressing, cheese blend and taco bowl shell, there really wasnât anything unique about this salad to warrant the cost. Iâd skip on this salad in the future but would be willing to try another item on the menu. If you found this review helpful, please let me know by clicking on the thumbs up button below. Thanks!

Nice little popular restaurant. We were there for brunch. The food was good but the service was slow. It's a popular place so it was understandable to have slow service. The waiter was friendly but had trouble keeping our order straight. I think they need another wait staff on the busy weekend. Despite the slow service and the confusion with our order I will go back.

Mercer Hall is the sister restaurant to The Prune. Overall the restaurant can be NOISY. It gives you lots of choice and the price point is pretty good. The service can be spotty, sometimes an over-the-top server, and sometimes a busy, havenât-got-much-time-for-you server. They serve food from international places, including a little sushi, pasta, fish, burgers etc. The menu has flair, though be careful what you order!! I really like the vegetarian burger here. Itâs got a little spice. They do pickled onions on several dishes - it would be great if they used caramelized onions too. I also recommend that they use an aoli on their sushi which was bland. The fries are excellent! Avoid their sandwiches which come on extremely bready French bread. Difficult to eat. The fried chicken bowl is delicious though too much rice not enough vegetables. I will return.

We enjoyed our third dinner in three years here; last year the menu seemed lackluster if not repetitive of the previous year; this year we found new dishes to enjoy, including the delightful sausage and quirky and well flavored duck. Raspberry pie was rich and the raspberry sorbet with it was the perfect accompaniment. We always enjoy the service (Dan).
