The Prune

I have many food allergies and sensitivities. The service and accomodation of what I needed was amazing. The food was excellent. My friend and I would recommend if you are in Stratford take the time to make a reservation. You will not be disappointed!!

Wonderful, memorable experience at The Prune. We were a group of 5, and every single dish was delicious and beautifully presented across the board. Flavors were outstanding, from the duck confit to the beef tartare and the salt cod croquette, each dish was well-composed and balanced to let the ingredients shine. The creme caramel dessert was truly one of the best desserts I've had in recent memory - the range of flavors (caramel with, unexpectedly, citrus) and the differences in textures (caramel popcorn on top!) combined to make for the perfect plated dessert to end the meal. The service was also exceptional. Our waitress, Rebecca, was very attentive and allowed us to have a leisurely meal at our own pace, which we always very much appreciate when getting together with friends and enjoying one another's company. The staff were always quick to ensure our wine and water glasses were topped off, and were very helpful with decanting a 2007 bottle that we brought for ourselves (for a corkage fee) to enjoy at the end of the meal. Highly recommend The Prune for anyone looking for an all-around exceptional meal!

Truly a delightful experience. The staff was attentive, personable and exceptionally accommodating to our parties dietary restrictions. Our waiter did not miss a beat and a shout out to Chef Mike for creating a sauce on the spot to help a girl out for getting the duck confit. The food was outstanding - Not a single bad dish on the table for our party of 5. It's the kind of place where you want to go back every week (or more) so you don't miss out on trying any of the dishes on the monthly menu. The flavors were complex and each element of the dish complimented the other. The use of high quality seasonal ontario produce was right on the mark. Would highly recommend - you won't regret going.

The Prune is a very special place to celebrate a very special occasion. The dishes of the prix fixe menu were delightful and well rounded. We kicked the evening off with a perfectly chilled glass of Prosecco. The sommelier helped us match the wines with our main courses which certainly added to the fantastic experience. The wait staff was very attentive, very pleasant and knowledgeable. The Prune is definitely a repeat for the next great occasion.

Truly exceptional. One of the most spectacular meals (and most fancy) we've ever had. Generous portions, amazing service. Love that they mix up the prix fixe menu so you can do 2 apps/1 entree instead of only app/entree/dessert. The amuse bouche and petit four were cherry on top of amazing dishes!

The best dining experience I've had in many, many years. After announcing a collaboration with the Stratford Chefs School, The Prune has reopened a dining room - and it does not disappoint. While you might expect the kitchen of a chefs school to be well run, it was the front-of-house that was the big surprise. It operated better than any restaurant I have ever attended. Our host, Christopher, was extremely gracious, knowledgeable and patient with our many questions. Our server, Bobby, was attentive, engaging and shared many insights about the menu, restaurant and staff. Even the bus staff was in top form and attended to our every need before we were even aware. The glass walled kitchen allowed us to view these master chefs at their craft. Every plate of artistry engaged all of our senses. From the amuse bouche to the final petit four, every one of our dishes was perfect. Standouts include the Foie Gras, the Carrot Terrine, the Beef Tartare, the rack of Lamb and the Chicken Marbella. Each was beautiful, had complex flavors and textures, and was perfectly paired with their reccomended wines. The dining room is on the smaller side (I would guess seating for 45 people) not including a few additional outdoor tables. It has modern, simple decor, and the acoustics allowed us to converse with ease, even in a full dining room. There is also a special, separate table for two in their wine room. This is fine dining at its best. The prices are commensurate. I would not recommend children or very large groups. We made our reservations several weeks in advance for a Saturday evening, which ended up being fully booked. I understand that The Prune collaboration is only through September 2023. I hope that they extend this very successful arrangement. The Prune is an exquisite dining experience that should not be missed. My sincere thanks to the entire staff for a wonderful evening.

Exceptional. I don't mean "exceptional for Stratford." I mean exceptional as in Michelin star-worthy exceptional. The dishes simply glow with love: fresh, creative, beautiful and delicious, served by staff who share the joy of your experience. The uber chill atmosphere invites you to unwind and completely immerse yourself in the moment. The Prune magically appears in May and just as magically disappears at the end of September. You may just find a glass slipper by the door. Shout out to Conor for bringing all of this magic to life. The Prune is a very special place. A delight.

I would give service 6 stars if I could. My wife and I celebrated "not being a father day" and had a great time. My allergies were accommodated with flare and the food was prepared perfectly. Lots of choice on the menu and a good wine list. The wait person chose wine for us to go with our meals and the choices were spot on. Not too noisy, but good energy.
