The Red Rabbit - Stratford

Been to The Common 4 times over the past 2 years. The consistency at a high level is as remarkable as it is rare. Times visited have varied, as have staff engaged. Have seen every dynamic in those visits. Doesn’t matter, they run a tight ship front of house and outstanding quality and skills back of house.Whether a terrific cocktail, unique appetizer or creative main, the food and beverage is precise and on point. Staff is friendly, attentive, and professional, strikingly different than other establishments who are uneven.Indoor dining is great, sometimes with a live band, which is a nice touch, and the patio is truly magical in ambience, comfort and perfect playlist music.Some comments say pricey, not for the service and quality, frankly it is right on the mark. Worthy of a Michelin star? Darn close IMO, but with that comes a delta in customer demands that may not be worth it to be honest.The Common sits in a rarified space so good to surprise and delight, but not pretentious or underperforming. It is hard to compare it, which tells me Tim and the crew know what’s what and nail it while Cass and staff perform so well that you leave feeling as you should: pleased, satisfied with just a titch of special.The Common punches above its weight class and may, in fact, be misnamed it is uncommon a welcome experience that is hard to find and harder to replicate.Highly recommend!

Will definitely be making the 45 minute drive into Stratford for this amazing spot! We all really enjoyed the theatre menu and our server was amazing he explained every dish perfectly and respected our 8pm show time. I can’t wait to return and explore the other menu items!

Stopped in with a friend tonight and thoroughly enjoyed the Red Rabbit. The decor is fun and interesting, seating was comfortable, our server was excellent. He answered all of our questions about the menu (which was interesting and very appetizing) and was on top of our drinks. We never ran out of water. The food was delicious. The fries and veggie burger were excellent. I will be returning

A creative menu with interesting flavours. The cocktails are perfectly crafted and delicious. Staff are attentive and friendly, this is an employee owned facility and you can feel the pride! Good wine selection, the dinner biscuits are exceptional and the chocolate cake dessert divine! Appetizers, especially the squid and fried green tomatoes are wonderful. The mains are especially delicious. A well priced, friendly place, good food and certainly a destination when in Stratford.

This was one of the best meals I've ever had. We went for the after theatre menu and the chicken and steak were amazing. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We'll be back for sure!
