It's been a few years since I've been to Fairmont and ate at the Black Forest restaurant. Have had…read morethe Schnitzel Champigon and at that time it had a dark mushroom sauce which I loved and remembered. Last year when we came I had ordered the same Schnitzel but it came with a bearnaise sauce and I didn't enjoy it because of the taste. So this year on Wednesday May 20th I had asked the waitress if I could have a different gravy (should have said sauce). I was told that they didn't have that. When I said they used to she informed me it has NEVER come with that type of sauce. To me it felt like she was arguing the point with me. She then said do you want another server and I said no that's fine. She walked away and a short time later another waitress (Grace) came to serve us. The first waitress obviously didn't want to serve me and I felt this very insulting. I then ordered the Special which was the meatloaf, which had the type of sauce (gravy) I was asking for. Which was very delicious. If it wasn't for the very pleasant young girl who met and seated us at our table and Grace, the experience was very unpleasant and upsetting to a point that I was not going to come back.

Both were good, but had their flaws. -The schnitzel Scandinavia was dry but the sauce was very good. -The Traditional breaded pork cutlet I had was very good but I found the sauce was too lemon forward for my liking. -The spaetzel was good, I like a little less nutmeg. -The cabbage was spot on and very flavorful. Overall a good experience but be sure to make reservations early as they didn't have many spots available and we saw them turn people away.

Having only one waiter isn't an issue if the interactions make up for it but it feels like they see a lot of tourists so they're going through the motions. The schnitzels appear to be the thing to order, as others enjoyed those. I had the venison, which the waiter asked for a cook temp (med rare) but delivered well done. It also stated it would have chanterelles but instead came with button mushrooms. The waiter didn't come back to check in for over 15 minutes so I couldn't even raise the issue. At that point, it felt unhelpful. If the menu item has altered, tell guests before they order, especially when it's for such a less expensive ingredient. And don't ask for a cook temp if you can't meet it. Wouldn't return given the price point. Better restaurants in the area.

Our server seemed a bit hurried. She was out of breath and not super friendly. They have a wide variety of options on the menu. We decided on the Cordon Bleu schnitzel with chicken instead of pork ($3 upgrade), jagerspatzle and a cup of their mushroom soup. The food was delicious! The chicken Cordon Bleu was the overall hit. My husband really enjoyed the Dunkel beer. I ordered the chocolate mousse, but was disappointed as it tasted like a Jello pudding mix chocolate. Not the rich dark chocolate mousse I'm used to. Overall a nice experience. The music playing in the restaurant was a German song on repeat! It played the entire time we were there...yikes! I politely recommend they get an entire album with a variety of songs. I loved the German themed music, but one song playing over and over again was annoying.

The pizza is thinner crust, good yeasty flavour and chew. Ask for Parmesan and it'll fill out the flavours on your pizza. Fish n chips are beer battered, with the same fries you'd find at Costco. Not gourmet/high end. But if you've just rolled in after 8hrs of driving with the hangries, it's good enough!

tldr; EVERYTHING…read moreABOUT THIS RESTAURANT IS CHEAP EXCEPT FOR THE PRICES. Servers know NOTHING about the menu and are all but absent from the front of house Chef can't season a meal to save his life ZERO attention to detail ------------------------ I can't begin to describe how awful this restaurant is, but let me try. I took my wife to Radium for our anniversary, and I asked the hotel concierge to make romantic dinner reservations for us. The package I bought also included a complimentary breakfast, so the idea was to eat at this establishment twice (BIG mistake). When we got to the restaurant, there was no servers on the floor, and no hostess at the front desk. They had been open all day, and the place was empty.. I suppose this should have been our first hint. We seated ourselves, and when the server finally arrived, she brought us waters in the ancient plastic cups. This would probably be OK if we were at Smitty's, but we were not, we were supposedly eating "Fine Italian Cuisine". Every time the server came to the table (drinks, orders, etc), we inevitably had questions about the meals... she had NO answers, and had to ask the chef about everything. Also, many items that we wanted to eat (Items that WERE on the menu), were unavailable, and we had to make alternate decisions (this should have been our second hint). When the complementary bread arrived, we were given re-heated rolls and plastic single-use butter containers instead of a nice whipped butter dish. With the bread, we ordered some calamari, and when it arrived, it was terribly undercooked and quite disgusting. Dinner arrives and out comes my wife's $32, 8oz, medium rare steak... it was well done, completely unseasoned, and dry as chalk. WHO PAYS $32 FOR CHALK??? My chicken was average, I ate it and paid for it, but we sent the steak back. We went back the next morning for breakfast, simply because I had the voucher and it was free... well not quite free. The concierge told me that it was a complementary breakfast, but gave me a $25 voucher... this voucher will NEVER cover a breakfast for two when you're charging $3 for a coffee and an average of $10 / plate. ANYWAYS, against my better judgement we went for breakfast, and again, everything my wife asked for was UNAVAILABLE... at this point she was DONE. No more eating, just get out of her face. I chose to try the soft basted eggs, toast, hash browns, and bacon. The hash browns were completely unseasoned (just like the steak from the night before), and the eggs were like slime... I actually gagged a little when I saw them. Now I have NEVER sent a meal back in a restaurant, so sending my wife's steak one night and my eggs the next morning was very out of the ordinary for me. In conclusion, this is the last restaurant on the planet that I would recommend you eat at. In fact, our server from the first night even suggested that we eat elsewhere...

It took us a while to be seated although there was a lot of room. The manager seemed overwhelmed and was flying around. When I asked him what he liked on the menu he answered eggs, which is fun because eggs weren't even on the menu. Food came out slowly and servers were fine i just think they could have used a few more. my husband had a burger with fries and i had the falafel wrap with Caesar salad. Hubby was appreciative of the burger and said that it was "fine". My falafel wrap was excellent. The falafel itself were a little mushy on the inside but flavourful. The sauces and the home made pickles made an extrodinary combo. Totally reccomend this dish. The Caesar salad was lightly dressed, fresh and crunchy. A fantastic lunch. Come here for the view. Stay for the food.

However our meal was not one of the first served as some of our food was missed delivered to another table. I didn't feel that the bread and butter was outstanding for the price as it was over toasted. We did like our main course choices as all of us cleaned our plates. The view was outstanding as we were able to see both mountain and river. Expect the cost to be higher because of the location and the view versus just the food itself. Well we enjoyed our meal we did find that we enjoyed other places that cost a little less more while on our trip. Also our service was not bad but our server did enjoy chatting with other tables which might have led to some of the delay of our food being bright as we were in the restaurant for approximately 90 minutes total time from sit down to paying our bill.
