    My wife stayed at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort on a 2 Day Bed, Breakfast & Dinner package. The…read moreaccommodations and resort hot springs pool were great, the service provided by staff, also great, all were very friendly. The food, NOT so great overall, we had all of our meals in the Mountain Flowers restaurant. On Sunday, my wife had the New York Steak with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables for dinner. I had the Glazed Atlantic Salmon with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The steak was wonderful, the salmon was wonderful and well portioned and the garlic mashed potatoes where absolutely Devine. The seasonal vegetables for both our entrees were too "woody", they were not even cooked al Dente, they were hard and difficult to cut. On Monday, we both ordered the Glazed Atlantic Salmon with garlic mashed potatoes for dinner and asked for extra mashed potatoes because we did not want want raw seasonal vegetables again. Our server came back and apologized and stated the kitchen did not have enough extra mashed potatoes for two, so we ordered soup as a substitute for extra potatoes. Then our server came back about five minutes later and apologized again and stated they were out of mashed potatoes. My wife then ordered rice for her salmon entree and I ordered fries, both of those decisions were a disaster. The white and wild rice combination had no taste whatsoever, it tasted like it was cooked in water, drained and thrown on the plate, no seasoning, no stock ... no nothing .. It was bland to say the least. On the Sunday night, I was served a very generous and appropriately sized portion of salmon but on Monday, both of our salmon portions were about 1 1/4" wide, much smaller than the night before. It looked like the salmon was portioned smaller and rationed so the kitchen did not run out. I have attached photos to show the two salmon entrees from from Monday night. I am very surprised that a kitchen can run out of mashed potatoes, a root vegetable that lasts forever and is easy and quick to cook, especially for a commercial kitchen. It was an option for 9 out of the 10 MAIN entrees in the Mountain Flowers menu. On Tuesday morning, I had the Belgian Waffle for breakfast and my wife had the Hot Springs Style breakfast. My waffle was not a Belgian waffle, it was a regular round waffle, with one strawberry on top and a ramekin of berry compote and a ramekin of whipped cream and a mini carafe of syrup. My wife ordered her eggs "over medium", they were not even cooked "over easy", the eggs still had uncooked albumin in them. Our server dropped his cleaning rag on the floor, my wife brought it to his attention, he stepped on the rag, picked it up and he as well as another server used that rag to clean tables after that point. Staff were great but management really need to tune up the efficiency, hygiene rules and quality control in the kitchen. I have had no problems with food at a Denny's and I expected more of this restaurant.

    This restaurant is now called "Antlers" and is really bad. Portions are very small and basic for…read morethe price they are charging. My 7 oz steak was dry and bland. My daughter's "Margarita" pizza was plain cheese and sauce, no basil or tomatoes as advertised. Service was really slow for having almost no other guests (guess everyone got the message about the quality except us!!). Avoid this place if at all possible!

    Overview: We came here on a week night and were surprised to see a live band playing in the…read morerestaurant! The atmosphere was lively, the waitresses and waiters were helpful, and the drinks were great. We would definitely come back again. Food: 1. Fish and Chips: The dish was well cooked and had great flavours. The fish was crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Would recommend. 2. Veggie Burger: The beets and sauce inside the burger really gave it a nice flavour. Would recommend. 3. AAA Alberta Beef Melt: The beef slices were very tender and melted in my mouth. The au jus was well seasoned and tasted great with the sandwich. Would highly recommend. 4. Cod Tacos: The fish was well cooked, but lacked some flavour and tasted bland. 5. Heid Out Burger: The BBQ sauce had a nice flavour, but the beef patty itself was a little under seasoned. 6. Char Siu Beef Wrap: The portion size was good and the enoki mushroom had a great favour. The beef however, lacked some flavour and tasted bland. 7. Spicy Pickle Sticks: Well seasoned and the pickles were still crispy. Paired well with the cider. Drink: 1. Red roof cider: This was probably one of the best cider I've tasted. It was a little on the sweet side, but I would still recommend it. 2. Flight of Beer: A great way to taste some of the restaurant's beers. Atmosphere: Lively and a good spot to relax after a long day of work. Service: The staff were very friendly and the food came fast.

    Great food and adult beverage options. Server was helpful and love the environment…read more The place was packed on a weekday night but the service and staff were Awsome
