Me and the wife tried it for the first time last weekend. And honestly no bs best restaurant meal we have had.
Very original ideas that taste absolutely amazing.
The Staff were also great the whole time.
10 out of 10.

The food was stellar. The highlight for the table was the cold roast lamb with the eggplant caponata. It is hard to describe the flavour profile, but the combination of flavours blended together so well!
But for us, the true highlight was our server. Not only was she spot on in her recommendation of drinks (I was pleasantly surprised at the pairing of a lighter bodied chilled red wine with steak), but she was also thoughtful and attentive. Eating out with any food allergies and food sensitivities can be very stressful, and when traveling with my friend, we often try to find places to eat that are within a certain distance to the hotel. But this time around, my friend ate with ease and it's been awhile since I saw her enjoy her meal and be so relaxed. The server and the kitchen team marked up which foods she could enjoy worry-free and which foods they can make adjustments for her on the menu, so there would be no surprises.
So many chefs often create a dish and are very strict in how they want their patrons to enjoy it that they won't make any exceptions. Thank you, LOVAGE, for valuing inclusivity. Your team is doing a wonderful thing and we are truly grateful. We can't wait to come back soon!
Dietary restrictions: Our server asked us if we had any dietary restrictions and sensitivities, and when my friend mentioned that she's sensitive to dairy and prefers minimal butter, our server went to the kitchen to ask and came back with a menu that was marked up with what my friend could eat and which dishes could be modified.

What a wonderful place for dinner. The menu is limited, but is full of innovative dishes we just would never make at home. Coupled with a solid wine list and friendly, knowledgeable service, Lovage provided a memorable evening.

A five star dining experience! Came for a delicious French lunch. Menu is seasonal and changes daily. We had the most exquisite squash with stracciatella cheese. Omg! We devoured the fresh pie oysters as well. Excellent service and fresh sourdough. Will certainly return! Thank you!

To eat at Lovage is a culinary experience. An adventure for the taste buds. First time at Lovage. It was difficult to decide because everything on their menu sounded so good and different. We eventually settled on a local cheese/apricot jam and crackers, followed by 3 shared platters. Smoked trout, fried green tomatoes with jumbo shrimp, roast cabbage and one dessert each. Burnt cheesecake ..really ? Yep .. outstanding. And the panna cottage/feta and watermelon. Amazing. Savoured every unique flavour. All made in their own kitchen. Exceptional. Add the knowledgeable and welcoming service of our server, I would give Lovage 20 of 10. A very satisfied customer. And will be a regular customer, whenever I visit Stratford. Unfortunately some of my favourite restaurants have closed but Lovage is a new and unique addition. Good luck and continued success to the Lovage team. Thank you.

Here for the first time and came for lunch. Fantastic experience. Would definitely come back
Our server was fantastic and was very patient and helpful in helping us with the manual since this was the first time at this restaurant. Apparently, the menu changes daily. We had what our server recommended which was the fried green tomatoes and panzanella. We left both. My favorite was the fried green tomatoes.
It was not terribly busy on a Friday afternoon and we had a seat in the back patio which was nicely shaded.
Parking: The closest lot is actually located right behind the back of the restaurant. I recommend parking here.

Excellent presentation of dishes rich with flavour
My girlfriend and I eat out often and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal at LOVAGE. One of the best we’ve had. Tremendous service, food and experience. The bread was insane.

Minimalist decor, knowledgeable staff and an interesting wine list. Based on two visits one year apart, food remains inventive and satisfying with deep flavours and a focus on the local and the seasonal. To be recommended.

Fantastic service, great food with big flavor, great wines, no complaints! I’m in Stratford once a year and this is the best meal I’ve had in town in ages.
