Bard’s Steakhouse - Stratford, Ontario

The best restaurant I’ve had in Canada. Really impressive!

Good food ... good location ... but slower than usual service. We had no place to rush to but it took 40 minutes to get our drinks, and an hour to get our apps. They do have a good rather extensive beer list, which is the reason I gave 4 ... instead of 3 stars. The beer was fantastic, frosty cold and served in the proper glass. I'll be back, even if it is only for the beer! (The oysters were great as well ... at $2 an oyster, you can't go wrong.) Read more

Fantastic bread & soup to start. We got the tomahawk steak and shared. Absolutely fantastic! It’s not the cheapest but one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Finished with the chocolate truffle dessert. Our server was great and attentive with everything having a nice spacing to let the food ... settle. Read more

Our server was nice, the atmosphere was great and the food came fast. The warm bread was so good!! When our server asked us if we wanted more I almost said yes but I didn’t want to be full for the actual meal. My boyfriend had the steak and I ... had the grilled cauliflower. Both were delicious! I’m not a big on steaks or meat in general but I tried a little bit of the steak and it was perfect. My boyfriend also said that he should try more vegetarian dishes after tasting the cauliflower. We both liked how the portion sizes didn’t leave us feeling bloated at the end our our meal. I also really enjoyed the music 👌🏻 Read more

Went before a show with a hour and a half. It was not enough. We were never asked if we were seeing a show, but we didn't say anything (at first) because we assumed we had plenty of time. Expect to spend over 2 hours. We split a 32oz. steak. order ... medium-rare. It came medium-well, but we didn't have the time to get it fixed. It was a good piece of meat, just overcooked, and its a steakhouse. On top of the, the truffle oil Mac & Cheese side although rich and tasty, only had cheese crispy on top (oven baked). It seemed to have a lighter cream sauce instead of a cheese sauce. Staff was friendly and it had a nice atmosphere. Likely won't go back though because of the slow service and poorly cooked meat, especially for the price. It just fell short of our expectations. Read more
