    We enjoyed our stay here. They treated us very well for our anniversary dinner. We had salmon which was very nice as well as the chicken. The staff were all very friendly and provided excellent service.

    We were a bit disappointed that the menu had changed and our favourites were no longer offered. However, everything we ordered was delicious, just not what we had our hearts set on. Service was fabulous, as always.

    Overall not bad, The pasta had way too much sauce and the mimossas are very tiny. Porkchop was excellent. The ambiance of the restuarant set the price.....not the food in my opinion. Although the staff and atmosphere were above average, We will try eleswhere befor the next play.

    Parlour Inn is a wonderful old Inn. The ambience is great - beautiful stained glass windows throughout. . Food is a bit pricy but very good and serving sizes are ok for the average appetite. Wine pairing suggestions --- Enjoy that they serve local in season foods . A birthday celebration so a special dessert was GIFTED to us . Have been many times over the years as I visit the Theatres and will be going again . The young man was excellent in his caring for us. As it got a bit busier he had to scramble to fit in all his tables .

    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.
