Possibly one of the best table in Stratford. On our annual week long visit, Lovage has become our lunch stop before the theatre. The staff couldn't be more attentive and pleasant, and what comes out of the kitchen is brilliant. They knock it out of the park every single time. Bravo to all!

Unfortunately the experience was very mediocre. Food was poorly prepared, menu uninspiring and service was what you would expect at a Denny’s. Perhaps a victim of high expectations but was surprised at how much I did not like this. Way too many better options in Stratford to settle for this.

Fried Squash blossoms with ricotta and herbs were very memorable. Fantastic spicy margarita.

Great food and apparently the menu changes every week. Fresh and all home made food, nothing is packaged. Nice relaxing restaurant, highly recomend a reservation.

We were suggested to try this restaurant by a financial advisor in Goderich of all places. It fit into the theme of our trip perfectly, so we made a reservation and had dinner.
I ordered the shrimp Taglioni and my husband had the smoked trout salad
I think my meal killed me. I think I died and went to heaven. The shrimp was cooked to perfection. It wasn’t soft and it wasn’t rubbery. It was PERFECT. The tomato butter sauce was so light and subtle and the pasta was cooked to perfection. I really couldn’t find a single thing to say was less than.
We ordered glasses of wine, me an Italian white that wasn’t a Pinot Grigio but very similar (cannot remember the name). My husband ordered an orange wine that wasn’t a deep white equine with citrus notes and a tiny bit of tartness to complement the flavour.
My wine with my meal - perfection.
Our server - Dana (day-na) was friendly, attentive and informed about the dishes and ingredients. She even started by asking if we had any allergies or dietary concerns which honestly, I can’t remember the last time anyone asked that at a restaurant.
Lovage is a must-go for a nice French inspired dinner in Stratford.

The food was disappointing. We ordered scallops but the almond sauce was overbearing , masking the dish flavour. The zhug on the halibut had too much cardamom and was not complimenting the savour of the halibut that was served on the top of overcooked braised beans and zucchini, swimming in an orange broth. The sweetbread, accompanied with corn and some chanterelles, swimming again in a broth was somewhat tough and overcooked. The waitress was attentive. The patio lacked warmth and not overly inviting

We visited this restaurant last Friday and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. I ordered the roasted chicken, but it was not cooked enough — the meat was chewy and unpleasant to eat. I returned the plate to the waitress, and she offered to take it back to the kitchen to “cook it a little bit more.” This surprised me even more, as I don’t believe this is an acceptable fix; once the chicken has already been served with all the ingredients and sauces, reheating it is not the right solution. Overall, the food quality and handling of the situation did not meet my expectations, and I left feeling unsatisfied. When I made the reservation, the booking form asked if there was a special occasion for our visit. I selected that it was my wife’s birthday, but during our visit, no one from the staff acknowledged it. Overall, the food quality, the handling of the situation, and the lack of attention to detail made the experience disappointing.

Atmosphere is nice, food was DELICIOUS. We split the strip Loin steak. Another two friends had the bass and shrimp. All delicious. Would return next time we come to Stratford!!
Fabulous food. So-so slow service. Easily forgotten once seated. Martinis served in demitasse glasses. ? Really ? Would not return.

We stopped by for lunch since dinner reservations were impossible to get. Everything we ordered was top notch. Service was impeccable as well. I love that they have a rotating menu based on what is in season. Definitely a must visit when in Stratford.

I've dined at several restaurants around Stratford and I have to say that Lovage is in my top 2. Their menu changes frequently which I love. The food is seasonal and there is always something new to try! The atmosphere is wonderful and I always recommend to friends.

The menu seems to be always changing so I won't bore the read with what we ate, but we had apps and some lunch mains. Everything was delicious and elevated, this is not your average brunch or restaurant spot. It's cozy, welcoming, and the food will wanting you going back for more.
