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!

About the restaurant

Mira Mira Diner focuses on local, seasonally driven dishes and twists on nostalgic diner classics paired well-curated cocktails & wine. From an elevated brunch experience, to an afternoon get-together on the patio, to dinner dates as the sun goes down, we are both a neighbourhood restaurant and a dining destination for those visiting the beachfront just minutes away. Who says a diner can't be fancy?

About the restaurant

Serving brunch 7 days a week starting at 10AM on Weekdays and 9AM on Weekends. For group bookings larger than 8 or private events, please email info@oldschoolyyz.com.

Dinner is available Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with happy hour and nightly specials!

Home to the legendary Blueberry Hill Pancakes stack - We offer a fresh perspective on the classic neighbourhood eatery, throwing back to a simpler, more wholesome time when eating out was fun, approachable and most importantly, accessible. It brings patrons back to the mid-twentieth century – an era defined by a feel-good, optimistic mentality that influenced popular culture and food. Think Leave it to Beaver, Superbad, and Saved By The Bell came together in the most epic way possible.

The food was amazing and delicious, but our server attitude was a little rude with the attention and ways to ask for our order, general we don't feel comfortable with his attention

Amazing food..try the arancini balls!! The star of the meal! I ordered the caulicrust blue cheese and steak pizza, superb! Super thin crust, crunchy and cooked to perfection. Blue cheese was not overpowering. Size of pizza was just right. Very charming eatery and location was overlooking grand river. Will definitely return!

As always, the food and service are great… Very consistent… Without the patio to be honest the restaurant really lacks ambiance.

We had a great time. Excellent service. My husband’s Croque Madame was too heavy with too much bread. Otherwise all our meals were great and we love the ambiance.
