I must say I was quite taken back by the price of a cup of coffee today . $3.75 seemed high to me. The coffee also was not that good. I surmise they have changed their supplier. I have had many cups of coffee there...and it certainly didn’t taste as good as usual. Better to keep the price down and sell the coffee than raise it like they did and sell a lot less. As for myself I’ll just stick to a glass of water. I’m sure when tourist season rolls around it’ll go up to $5.75. I realize food costs are going up, but I refuse to pay that for a coffee.More

Highly recommend! The food is great, Allan, our server is fantastic! He expertly managed a very busy floor with patience and attention. If you own the bar, give him a raise. If you just did that, do it again. He’s a keeper!

Don’t not come here it is the worse bar in Stratford. There are many choices for food and drink do NOT make this one of them. You will have to ask for a drink instead of being served. The liquor is watered down, I urge...do not go to this bar. I can’t give it a negative str so one star begrudgingly.More

Our family of 3 stayed and dined at Bentleys while in town for a figure skating competition. It is centrally located in the heart of downtown. Lots of nearby places to and shop. Stayed in loft 105 which was great for three people. Lots of...space and well appointed. Very clean. Short walk downstairs to the bar / restaurant did not disappoint. The staff was great along with the food. More of a heads up than a complaint. The underground parking is across the street. If you stay unload in the rer lot then move your car. Two minute walk. Would stay again.More

Just popped in for lunch . Been here multiple times . Years ago . Ordered French onion soup , a classic rueban . The soup arrived and sandwich quite quickly. So I broke the crust on my soup and all I found was more bread.... By the time I pulled the bread out of the bowl there was still another piece of bread in the bowl 3 + pieces o bread wow . No broth was left . It's to bad because the half spoonful of broth was tasty . Had no words for the waitress when she said it looks right three pieces of bread . May be the kitchen manager should google classic French onion soup . As for the rueban not on rye bread . Hardly any thousand island dressing . Not toasted . Google that too. And my strong bow cider was flat.. .More

I love staying at this boutique inn, but unfortunately for all three nights of my stay I had three separate loud guests: the first night there was the couple next door who argued loudly until 2:30am, the next night there was a family reunion in...three rooms who had ten children all together who they left unsupervised to play hockey in the hall for 3 hrs while they hung out at the restaurant downstairs (after the kids finally went to bed the parents decided to socialize in the hall until after midnight, as if they were the only guests in the hotel), and on the third night a guest arrived next door at 5:30am and proceeded to talk loudly on the phone until the sun came up. I understand that noise is to be expected in such a small space and with thin walls...but the hotel staff didn't seem to care or - the one time I could actually find somebody - they didn't make much effort to remind people that this is a hotel with other guests. The problem also is that I'm not sure if there's anybody even at the front desk over night, so you're kinduv on your own. I had hoped to escape my 4 year old twins for a QUIET long weekend BY MYSELF after 2.5 years of pandemic life - to catch up on work and SLEEP. Sadly, I picked the wrong dates or maybe the wrong hotel :(More

Some reviews on here say food ok I would not even say that . To put it in a honest way is the food was terrible. Avoid it this was once good but not anymore

The food at this restaurant is okay, not great but okay. I eat there whenever I am in Stratford due to its location, it's a convenient place to meet up with old friends. I love the addition of the patio! We ate there twice recently,...once on the busy patio when the sun was shining and once inside the equally busy restaurant when rain was falling. Inside for some reason is super noisy so we prefer the patio! They have a great selection of beer, and it's always beautifully cold. The service is terrific, we have never encountered a problem in that department. Food is overcooked and rather bland but not bad enough to send back to the kitchen. Washroom is quite dingy and could use a facelift!More

Your experience at a restaurant is influenced by 2 main factors, both equally important. The food at Bentley's was good (4 star) and represented excellent value for the price. We had the sandwich special (chicken parmigiana on ciabatta and the stir-fry coconut lime Thai noodles)....Both dishes exceeded our expectations in quality as well as portion size. As for the service it was exemplary (5 star) - professional, polite, accurate and fast. Our server (Terilyn) made the experience at Bentley's perfect although the restaurant was full and she was extremely busy. We will definitely return to Bentley's on our next visit to Stratford. Management should do everything to hold onto servers like Terilyn, because they turn a good experience into an excellent one.More

We were a group of three having a mid-afternoon meal that was either a late lunch or an early supper. We chose Bentley's, which is centrally located on the main street (Ontario Street), which is pretty busy in the summer, and we sat on the...patio, where you can experience the attractive downtown of Stratford and also do a lot of people-watching. Gluten-free alternatives were well identified. We found the food okay though not distinguished. The Thai noodles were a bit pasty in texture. The jambalaya, although it had chicken, shrimp, and sausage, and was fully satisfactory, was more like a modestly spicy but dryish stew served on rice than the real deal (even accounting for the fact that there's more than one way to make jambalaya). The portions were fairly sizeable, and the value for money was good. (We had eaten the evening before at Mercer's across the street, where the same amount of money bought us very modest portions.) Bentley's has a few well selected beers on tap, and a range of cocktails including some Bentley's inventions. My main reason for writing this review is to recognize our server, whose name, as we gathered from the bill, was Adrianna. I see a 2017 review on Tripadvisor that also speaks highly of an Adrianna, so I gather she has been around for a while. She seemed to be in charge of all the tables on the entire patio, which was pretty busy, and she was incredibly efficient without giving the impression of being rushed or overwhelmed at all. Just as we arrived, a good table became available, and she claimed and cleaned it for us immediately, answered our questions about the menu helpfully, took our orders quickly and accurately (without needing to write anything down), brought our meals quickly (remembering who had ordered what), and finally, when asked, brought the bill quickly and then the credit card machine. From what I could see, she was equally efficient with all the other tables. She was friendly without being at all artificial or obsequious, and when one of our number decided to tell her a story, she seemed engaged and interested, although she must have had a number of tasks on her mind. She stands out in my experience as a really skilled and gifted server.More

Want liquor? It’s semi fast. Want a table for two? No chance. Want a waitress to stop and actually take or order rather than let you know shes to busy to do so. You got the right place.

So grateful for the steadfast institution! The restaurant and bar were still hopping at 9:45pm on a Sunday with a full patio. Every other place between Bayfield and Stratford closed their kitchens by 8 or 9pm. Somehow, despite all the troubles of the last few...years, Bentleys manages to keep on going and bail out the late and disorganized and hungry. We were trying to have a family birthday dinner out after an evening sail, and just about failed. The servers were running at top speed, and cheerfully doing their best to get food and drinks in front of the crowd. In the end we had 4 fun cocktails and tasty filling dinners. Lots of choice on the menu, and everything was as it should be that we ordered. Thanks again for the friendly and hospitable late night save!More
