very quick service, very pleasent server, food was top ten
Living in Toronto, I shivered at the suggestion from friends for New Years dinner in Stratford. "It's the winter!" I protested. "Anything good is closed!" I couldn't have been further from the truth. Arriving at nine o'clock to a handsomely lit bar and smiles from all around, we endulged in a pre-dinner cocktail in a cozy leather sofa and chairs. Perfect beginning! Into the dining room. We sat in a wrap around window table with sultry lighting and quiet street views to ourselves. Dinner starts with an earthy mushroom terrine with lavash white truffle oil, the perfect size for our ensuing three courses. Next, melting in the mouth crab cakes with smoky spicy chipotle mayonaise, cut with tart green apple. Delicious! A succulent lobster tail arrives atop a perfectly cooked beef tenderlion drizzled with red wine jus and accompanied with a decadent potato gratin. Desserts don't disappoint, but the steak shines! Friendly, knowledgable, curtious service reminds me I am out of the city! Thanks Fosters for a great begining to the new year and I'll definately see you in 2007! Ariel Dax
Our party arrived to an almost full restaurant. We were lucky and had made a reservation a few months prior. We were given a table in the window. We asked why we received this table, and the host replied that the most popular tables are assigned first. We were asked if the host could take our jackets, and were then welcomed by our server, who explained the specials. I was told about the steak, so I asked what cut of steak I should order and the server replied "well, that depends on how you like your steak cooked?". I chose the tenderloin and frites with bearnaise sauce. It was cooked to perfection. The server came to the table after our main course arrived and asked us to check if the steak was properly cooked and then presented a tray of condiments for the steak! Wow! We had great wine, great service and felt very welcome. The patio was hoppin' busy and as a result the atmosphere was just what we wanted for a night out in Stratford. Highly recommended! Congratulations!
Definitely the best breakfast in Stratford! It's not greasy, reasonably priced, the eggs were cooked properly and the homefries were real! We had the heuvos rancheros, an interesting and very delicious breakfast...I am actually craving it as I type! A tortilla with homefries, cheese topped with fried eggs and sour cream and salsa! Apparently, Foster's signature breakfast! My sister had the french toast. It came topped with caramelized apples and cheddar cheese between the generous portion of french toast (bread was also homemade). A great combination! We will go back this weekend and make it our breakfast spot! Thanks Foster's for a great breakfast(and made to order-we were told the hollandaise sauce for the eggs benedict is even made to order!).
I always try to make Foster's my number one destination for a meal out when I visit Stratford. Normally, I'm a dinner guest who orders the Calamari (always fresh with amazing aioli) to start, 12oz striploin (cooked just how I like it - a true medium rare) with frites (nice and crisp but not overdone). This day I went for lunch and I had the Calamari (of course) and a caesar salad (excellent at a great price). The wine selection is great and the service has always been knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Definitely, a favourite restaurant of mine!
