    Our server, Kathy is always friendly and efficient. She remembers our orders and gets it correct. Corina, the hostess is friendly and welcoming. We are regular customers and come back largely because of them.

    One of the only locations in our region that the service is always great and food as well! I will drive by Ira needles in Waterloo to go to Stratford every time.

    Booked a reservation for a bus of seniors at my long-term care home. We showed up early, and they had given our tables away. A bus full of hungry, disappointed seniors from St. Mary’s who come once a year to Stratford to come to Swiss Chalet.

    So, the food was good, no problem there. On the other hand the service was awful. We were seated at 5:30pm and were served at 6:25pm - my wife thinks it was 6:30pm for a round hour of waiting. Our server Tom never came by to tell us of the delay - other customers were similarly inconveniences - and when the food was delivered, no apology or explanation was given. We were in town to go to a show at 7pm, so we tried to eat quickly which was not enjoyable and also pay so that we could leave when finished, with the waiter standing over us. Still no apology. So we asked for the manager, Frank, who made a half-hearted apology and a 'kinda' offer to accommodate us the next time we came in..... But he didn't offer to comp anything, even a drink! Not even another Lindt chocolate each!! Nothing. We got seated for our concert with seconds to spare. I get it that thinks happen in kitchens, etc., but we certainly did not feel valued as customers at this Swiss Chalet location.
