Elegant, comfortable, and delicious aptly describe the fabulous Short Table Dinner event hosted by Stratford Chefs School at the stunning The Bruce Hotel on Sun...day September 20th. Adapted from our annual Long Table Dinner as a "friend-raiser" for these times, guests dined comfortably - and at an appropriate distance - in the spacious and beautiful Dining Room of The Bruce Hotel, given the cool evening temperatures outdoors. "Everyone at our short table thoroughly enjoyed last night’s dinner. We felt that the service, the food and the environment were just right. Thanks for getting us settled into a new stage of indoor dining. We would happily do it again." - Guest feedback Thank you to all who were able to attend, we truly appreciate your support, and you all looked wonderful en blanc!
