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!

Food was excellent! Pickerel in a wonderful cram lime sauce and the not too sweet tender fall-off the-bone ribs were delicious . Highly recommended!

Came here for dinner on a Friday night with a friend. We sat in a lovely patio area along the side street. This was great as I do not enjoy sitting on patio right next to a main street. Patio seating was adorned with cushions, standing umbrellas, fencing, and a bit of greenery that provided a little bit of privacy from the patio and the sidewalk/street. The service was excellent. I think our server’s name was Joe (at least that was the name on our bill). He checked on us periodically, but never hovered or left us alone for too long. We shared a Burrata appetizer, the rigatoni à la vodka, chicken schnitzel with mashed potatoes, and a tiramisu. The dishes were fairly simple and well executed, apart from the tiramisu which is brought in from elsewhere (still tasty though). If you’re driving, parking can be a little tricky as it is street parking only. We had a lovely evening and I can’t wait to go back.

Food was amazing. Fresh, hot, well cooked. The veggie/fruit starter for the kids was a nice touch. We didn’t have to wait to be seated. Food came out quickly. Nickeisha was hands down one of the best servers we’ve had in a very long time. She was attentive, efficient, funny and was so good with the kids. A few of us at the table are former servers so we are the most critical! She deserves a “raise” or an all expenses paid vacation ;)

Our friend recommended Capeesh earlier this year, and we have been back multiple times. The menu options are amazing, and we always love what we order. If you love pasta and meatballs, we highly suggest the Buccatini and Meatballs! It is delicious! We also love the cheesecake. 10/10 love this place.

Financial District

About the restaurant

The Loose Moose is a lively bar in downtown Toronto favoured by locals and out-of-towners since 1989. Their fondness may have something to do with its beer selection. After all, with over 65 varieties on tap, repeat visits are kind of a given, especially for lovers of Canadian craft. Beer isn't the only thing we have to brag about. With inventive plates, generous portions and the cleanest taps in the city, this is a bar you’ll likely come back to — plan or no plan.
