Stratford

About the restaurant

Located in the heart of downtown Stratford, steps away from the Avon Theatre, The Starlight is loved by locals & tourists alike. Listed as one of Air Canada’s 2024 Best New Restaurants, our menu crafted by chef Yva Santini is perfect for sharing pre/post theatre. We are bringing the dinner party back and we can't wait to welcome you. Our kitchen is open late 7 days a week to make sure you can dine anytime. To drink: think ice cold martinis, margaritas on tap & fan fave house bottled cocktails, hyper local craft beers & a carefully curated wine list paired perfectly to our menu. The vibe is motel chic meets mid-century modern and once night sets in the candles are lit and the room transforms .. think old school piano bar meets 70's lounge. We host live music featuring local musicians EVERY weekend. Saturdays are local good time bands, Sundays are musician focused jazz & mondays feature monthly karaoke & trivia nights. People watch on the patio in the summer season!

I would have preferred a table downstairs. I booked for the vibe and upstairs was empty and didn’t have any. Steak was really tough.

The food was very good. Our server was very helpful and very pleasant. They were a bit understaffed for how busy it was but that certainly didn’t stop them from providing great service and a good meal. The volume of the music for how early we were there made it difficult to have a conversation at the table or with the server. I would absolutely go again, but would recommend not being in a hurry in case it’s busy.
