Revival House - Stratford, Ontario

It is a very unique setup. Great place to see entertainment. The food was great. The service was good as well. They could have maybe used a few more servers to help out as it was a full house. Will definitely go again. Limited parking in the parking lot beside the building. But lots of parking on the street is available.

There was no heat - we had to eat with our winter coats on, as did everyone else - never have I ever! They should have advised us when we arrived for our reservation and given us the option to leave for another establishment. They chose to seat us and let us suffer through our meal - honestly we should have left but we thought it was just us from being outside walking around and didn’t realize until after we had ordered. When we asked, our server told us it was because someone left the vent turned on in the kitchen overnight. We went for brunch and the eggs Benedict were cold. The service was seriously lacking as well - we had to repeatedly ask for a spoon for our tea, lemon, ketchup and more. The salt shaker was filthy. the entrance from the parking lot had not been shovelled or salt put down and it was solid ice - they clearly have no focus on customer service or any manager overseeing the quality of the food being served. We will definitely not return .

Our server was excellent! The food was also great. I've seen weddings here before and was curious to try. One person in our group had a slight issue with their food but the manager and server were very understanding and responsive. for me, my home cut fries were well seasoned, and eggs revival was flavorful and good. The upstairs is mostly empty and people can go up to look around.

This place was amazing. An incredibly unique experience to dine inside a church. The food was as good as the atmosphere. I rarely order a chicken dish when I go out since I eat it so often at home. But the chicken I had here was definitely something I couldn't replicate myself at home. Just wish I could have gone when they have someone playing the piano.

We just dropped in on a Sunday at 6:00. The place was half full. We parked next door at the Chiropractor. It’s connected to the restaurant and the restaurant parking lot was full. The outside of the church has beautiful well kept grounds with flowers and shrubbery. The inside is quite large and spacious. At the front of the church is a large stain glass window. The hostess seated us. The server was very friendly. I ordered the vegetable linguine for $26 and my husband ordered the Korean chicken for $36. It came with kimchi which my husband didn’t like. I enjoyed my vegetable linguine. The server also brought over bread. We didn’t have dessert because they only had one item, which didn’t interest us. The server was nice enough to talk a picture of my husband and I in front of the stain glass window. This restaurant is worth the visit.

Lovely old church conversion. The bar below the organ pipes with chandelier is immaculate vibes.

The food was delicious. Many of the dishes we had were interesting combinations well balanced and we really loved the flavor combinations.

We had the Brussel sprouts with porc and kimchi and maple. So good and the mushroom and sweet corn gnocchi, perfectly balanced and fried. The chicken ravioli came deconstructed with the most incredible smoked balsamic sauce, highly recommend.

The food itself was pretty good. I feel anything you order here would be pretty decent. The highlight would definitely be the bread pudding. It has a caramelized bottom and with the ice cream it would’ve been superb.

The ambiance and setting is already really beautiful and relaxing

I was going to give this a 5 star until the dessert came around. It took about 20-30 min for the dessert to arrive, and in the mean time we were just waiting there. The waitress did not refill any coffee or water and trying to get their attention was pretty bad as the place is so big. We were sitting there thirsty. We were ready to tell them to cancel the desserts as we had other engagements to go to. The waitress sees my hand and she brings out the desserts. Pretty ridiculous. Service wasn’t great. And she knew I wasn’t happy.

Overall I would visit this place for the ambiance and food but don’t expect quick or regular service from the waitress.

Amazing food, gorgeous atmosphere and such great service. So much care taken in putting together a delicious menu and creating a beautiful ambience. Went for a pre-theatre lunch and can’t wait to go back and try the dinner menu! Chef Dylan is amazing
