Customers have spoken, as the Strathmore Station recently received a certificate of excellence from TripAdvisor, which shows the station’s dedication to customer approval and good food.
The award was an unknown and pleasant surprise as it arrived at the Station early last week. The reason for the award was stated on the paper along with the certificate that stated the Strathmore Station was recognized by customers as one of the best in business.
Currently there are 130 reviews for the Station on TripAdvisor with a four out of five star approval score. Most of the reviews have given it a four or five star review with a 48% excellence rating.
“For someone to go onto TripAdvisor and actually comment, they are taking some their time to do so,” said Peter Klironomos, owner of the Strathmore Station.
“It is nice that we can get that from the customers it is a vote of confidence.”
The Station’s popularity goes above the reviews received, as many people do not comment and instead give their opinion through word of mouth. Klironomos said he has received many questions about the restaurant even from some places in the States. In summer they receive many tour buses that pull off from the Trans-Canada highway to eat there. When asked how they found out about the Station most will say they heard from other tour drivers.
This kind of conversation between travellers is great advertisement for the restaurant as well as the town of Strathmore.
Klironomos said that they work very hard to stand out as a good restaurant and a good place to go eat. He states that they try to stay up to date with the latest culinary and health trends. More people are watching what they eat either because of allergies, dietary needs or refusal to eat hormone-filled foods. Klironomos and the restaurant make much of their food fresh and in-house. They make their own hamburgers and hamburger buns, they cut their own meat that they get from a private butcher and they get vegetables from local producers.
They try to keep things fresh and delicious, as they want customers to leave with a good experience.
