    This used to be a solid joint but like many places in Central Alberta, seems to have gone steadily…read moredownhill. Our latest experience will have been our last, and I'm actually hoping that someone from there will read this. I realize going to a bar for brunch is rarely going to be stellar so our expectations were measured but even so, the Benedict's were extremely bland an flavourless. We did mention this to our server but asked for some condiments that made do. However, that's not what prompted this review. It started with the curdled cream in our coffee but of course that can be forgiven as it happens for sure. The issue was how it was handled. Started with a look at the coffee and a "wow, you're not having much luck today" as a response from our waitress... followed by... nothing!! No removal of the coffee, no replacement of the coffee, no acknowledgement or removal of the coffee from the bill! Now our server was friendly enough and I don't put this all on her - this is poor management and subpar training. A simple bit of education could have turned our experience around easily and avoided our comment. Get it together and help your staff!! We saw you in there doing basically nothing - brutal. You hear the industry complain about all the external factors that are hurting the industry but sometimes you have to look within.

    I can't give a zero so I have to give a one star. I give…read morekudos to a decent Scotch collection and German Beer on tap. But local beer at $8.75 a pint??? I better get good service!!! Not a waitress too lazy to walk the two feet behind me and make me pass food to other members of the table. And why's as "how was your steak?" If my reply was "tough cut with no fat the salad was the best part" only to reply "that sounds good let me get you the bill". Is this still a community college town???

    I highly do NOT recommend. Food is great, however after 2 hours of patiently waiting between tiny…read moreportions and not receiving half of what we asked for, we eventually left still hungry. Through our dining experience, we got the impression that after tasting the 10 meats and getting our sides, that we should be done and to leave. Our waitress seemed surprised when we kept wanting to make orders. It was not too busy either. We dined for two, and even asked for double our portions, with our waitress saying "no problem!". What we received after asking for double, was less than 1/3rd of the portions every time after with 20 minutes wait each time. This photo is an example of what came when we asked for the Rib Eye, Rump Steak, Pork, and bacon filet migon. We only got one pork, and one rump steak. And this happened pretty much every time we made a request for more food. I was blown away. We asked 3 times for more garlic bread and such too, and never received any. This was extremely disappointing, and given that you pay a minimum of $50 each on weekends, this is a LAUGH. We even had planned on desert and to get the digesto shots, but after getting incredibly annoyed after 2 hours, we decided to give up and leave. We could have gotten completely full from normal portions at any other restaurant, and not have had to wait 2 hours. After making our 3rd or 4th order, our patience left and we gave up trying to ask for anything because we were not going to get half of it anyway. I couldnt help but wonder if they were laughing at us from behind the scenes. I am so sad to say that I do not recommend dining here.

    We have been watching this being built for a while so were eager to try it when it opened…read more We walked in and were met with a very serious looking grumpy man who immediately asked for our phone number with no explanation. ....no warm welcome there. We were shown to our table which was one of only a few tables for two. Pampas is just a big open space so it is VERY loud. The lighting is terrible, a candle on the table would be better. When we go out we like to have good wine and conversation. Not possible in this place. The menu is weird. A choice of 11 meats ( $85) or 3 meats ($45) and a salad bar. We didn't want that much meat so we opted for the salad bar. There were lots of nice flavors, a couple of bread options then some awful hot options that resembled prison food ..... not edible and the mashed potatoes were water mush. All this for $36 each! Couldn't wait to get out of there. Horrible place.....we won't be back.
