This was our first vacation away from home for 2 nights at a nearby resort. We found this…read morerestaurant by a casual search. We love reading menus and this one struck us as both uniquely varied and unpretentious. We made a reservation, asking for a patio seat. Despite it being a Saturday night some space was available. We were seated promptly and presented with the interesting menu we had researched previously. But let me cut to the chase before I give you the full review. This place would be worth driving in from Toronto (1.5 hours) just to dine! We ordered 2 appetizers. The first was a fresh loaf of French Bread served warm with an appropriately crispy/chewy crust. It came with a delicious olive tapenade, that was well oiled with an excellent and abundant olive oil. Needless to say this is not a 'repas minceur'! An excellent opening to a great meal. Our other appetizer was home made Chicken Pate with a smooth consistency. It was plated with baby gherkins, acidulated sweet onions and a small decorative and tasty salad. It was served with thinly sliced and lightly toasted French bread. A great, smooth pate, with a subtle yet extremely pleasing taste. And then came the main courses. My wife opted for the grilled calamari and a beet salad with chevre both of which were appetizers. The calamari was tender, nicely charred and the portion was extremely generous. The beet and chevre salad was untouched as my wife was fully satiated! Forage serves large portions. We will both enjoy the salad tonight! I decided to order the seafood curry because a curry featuring shrimp and scallops sounded delicious. It was also something (the scallops) not usually found on an Indian restaurant menu. I was in for a treat! The vegetable were cooked al dente. It was a nice marriage of carrots, courgettes, onions, and small florets of broccoli and cauliflower. On one section of the plate a mound of basmati rice completed the dish. It was awesome! Finally a curry that was not overpowered by too much (any?) coconut milk, and unique in its ingredients and preparation. This is not a spicy dish for all of you who are somewhat reluctant try curries. The next big decision awaited. Desert....but we had been defeated by the portions and the great dining experience. This experience was enhanced by pleasant, professional but relaxed outstanding service! In conclusion: what are you waiting for reserve and eat there! You will not regret it.

You can also buy sandwiches, quiches and crepes. They take orders, so you don't have to worry about things running out. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, during COVID you can't eat there, but there is some nice sitting both inside and out on their patio. We can't wait to come back in the future to try more of their amazing offerings. Reviews of what we tried: Crossiants sandwiches - good equality brie, while not as flakey as some places, flavour was great. Almond croissant - crunchy with lots of almond filling. Pain au chocolat - nice dark chocolate filling. Specialty coffees - smooth, flavourful. Breads - Crunchy crust and soft, chewy interior. Slightly smaller loaves than what you might find in other places, but that means you can buy several like we did! Tarts - really enjoyed these. Fairly large (you can split between two people easily). Great variety available.

The walls are flesh colored, full of pin and nail holes, the kitchen staff were dropping F bombs just on the other side of the door where we sat, the bathroom had dollar store quality tissue, an old Febreze air freshener, a ripped baby changing station.... For such a swanky place at price point, I would like to feel like I am in a special place, and this was sub par. Your art work is placed so weirdly high. Wouldn't go back for the money vs atmosphere.

It simply didn't feel like a fine dining experience. There was no coat check offered, which is a basic standard for a restaurant of this caliber. On top of that, the parking validation wasn't working that day, adding a bit of frustration to the end of the meal. ​Tip: If you do go, try to visit on a Sunday so you can park on the street for free and avoid the garage fees.

The soup was rich and comforting and paired well with bread. The baguette came with some seasoned butter.

I was craving something a hearty and rich, so the croque monsieur was perfect for that. The burger was also good, but we asked for sauce on the side and it still came on the burger. Both entrees came with crispy thin cut fries which gave a great textual contrast. For the food quality, the prices are actually quite reasonable. 4/5 would happily return.

Mom got adventurous and had the halibut which she enjoyed every bite with her eyes closed to enhance the flavours she described as phenomenal. I had, the only vegetarian (not vegan...as there is no vegan option on the menu) option, the Ukrainian dumplings... all I can say is WOW!!! The flavours from first bite to final notes were fresh, creamy and delicious!!! The prices were a little steep, and a little taken aback to have to pay for bread and butter, but even their home made focaccia was moist and crispy at the same time and the perfect tool to ensure all the sauce was where it belonged from our plates to our tummies! Our dinner was paired with a bottle of their cabsauv without any regrets. Make the reservation... your taste buds will thank you!!!

We didn't stay at the hotel, but got a nice tour of it and liked how many nooks there are to read or play games in, how different rooms/floors are Shakespeare-themed, etc. It seemed very well thought out - not just another basic hotel chain. Steel Cut Porridge: If you love dessert for breakfast, this is excellent. The banana is caramelized (flambeed?) and the oats are perfectly cooked and sweetened with the birch syrup. I got this twice and it's just the right amount. Avocado Parfait: This was weird, but edible and very filling. I wouldn't get it again - the avocado was a weird choice. Like a sweet guacamole? Pain au Chocolat: Fresh and warm, a little soft (I like them a little more crispy on the outside and soft inside). Decent amount of quality chocolate inside. Crispy Smoked Bacon: Okay this one was maybe not as well priced as you only get three pieces of bacon, but it was tasty and I didn't have any regrets. Thin cut, wide, fatty slices. Maple Breakfast Sausage: No complaints, nothing too special, so it was a little pricey at three sausages. Better of course dipped in maple syrup! Bruce Blend Tea: This was quality black tea, but also just okay for me personally. I appreciate that they tell you how long the tea should be steeped and give you a timer for it. Apricot Tea: I liked this a lot on its own, but I liked it even more with some maple syrup, which made it taste like peach rings. Lychee Tea: This was nice and also I liked it better with a little maple syrup. Fabulous service. On weekends you get hot towels, which I thought was kind of funny. There is a path just outside that leads to the Stratford Festival Theatre, which is nice. I don't know that I could afford to stay at the hotel, but I would definitely come back to the restaurant.
