My in-laws took me and my husband out to Stavely Slate Steakhouse for what they called a tasty…read moresteak dinner because it was recommended by a few of their friends! The dinner was my in-laws way of expressing their appreciation for all the hard work over the holiday season! We drove over an hour to reach this restaurant because of its good reviews and recommendations. Unfortunately, I think my in-laws were ill informed! The service provided by the serving staff was impeccable! However, the food left something to be desired! My husband and in-laws ordered the New York Neptune meal and they were happy with the steak itself, (even though not one of them got their steak the way they requested it be cooked) but the crab topping was definitely from a can and was not eaten by any of them! And then to top it off I was given a meal that I didn't even order! I ordered the most expensive steak on the menu which was the 14 ounce ribeye steak medium rare, which cost approximately $64. The steak I received was the furthest from a ribeye steak that you could get. It was about 3/4 of an inch thick if that, was definitely not a 14 ounce piece of meat and was in no way, medium rare... How could it be, being that thin? And the flavour was something to be desired! It was so disappointing because none of us had had a really good steak dinner in some months and were all looking so forward to it. Plus travelled quite a distance (over an hour) to get exactly that! I would not recommend this steakhouse to anyone! Seems they are trying to substitute your order with something that you didn't order (obviously much cheaper in value), as well as not being truthful on their menu items and are hoping you will not complain about it! I would definitely not ever recommend this restaurant to anyone and personally will not ever be eating there again!!! And want to note that there is no way in hell that the silver slate steakhouse should be listed as the #1 steakhouse! The Longview Steakhouse, as well as Longview's Bistro definitely hold spots #1 and #2 as the top two steakhouses in Alberta!

If only it were open on Sundays then we could have returned home with some meat for our fridges and/or freezers on our return trip through town. None-the-less, it was a delicious lunch stop on a recent road trip. While I suspect that my fruit salad side had been sitting in the case display for a bit longer than is optimal, my sandwich was very flavourful, with just the right amount of pulled meat on a delicious multi-grain bun. It was great to have so many options at this stop on our trip. Staff seemed genuinely happy to see us arrive at a non-traditionally busy time (it was early for lunch but late for breakfast) and all of us ordered beverages with our meals. The coffee drinker in our group had his mug refilled promptly which was nice to see as well! The snacks available in the grocery part of the shop were varied and fascinated our group as we waited for our food, which was a great marketing technique as well! Overall, this place is definitely worth a visit if you're hungry on your way through town.

We walked in and should've known. Under new management. No cars in the lot and no one in the restaurant at dinner time. I ordered a club sandwich which is pretty tough to mess up. Well they managed to do so. I asked for a side Caesar salad and ended up with garden lettuce tomatoes and Caesar dressing. The sandwich was cemented together with so much mayonnaise is literally was disgusting to eat. I will never be back. What a shame to lose such a great place as this. Not to mention while we try and digest the awful food the waitress sits glued to her phone playing candy crush. Feel free to hit up SUBWAY, you'd be doing yourself a favour. This is the bill for a coffee. A can of pop for 2.25. Fish and chips for 12.95 a special cheeseburger for 9.50 and a disgusting clubhouse with a ton of expired Mayo. Not even an inquiry as to the quality of the food at the end of the meal. Lastly please see my reference photo of the so called "dinner rush". Now if you'll excuse me I need to find a washroom.

Tonight we visited a local restaurant that we've supported several times in the past, hoping to…read moregive it another chance despite previously poor service. Unfortunately, this was our worst experience yet. My fiancé ordered a lobster tail, and I ordered a buffalo chicken Caesar wrap. We waited a long time for our meals, and when they finally arrived, the lobster tail was severely overcooked and extremely difficult to cut. For my wrap, things were even worse. When I started eating the second half, I took a bite and immediately felt something so hard that I thought I had broken a tooth. When I spit it out, I discovered it was a small rock buried in the middle of the wrap. We informed the waitress, who apologized and said she would call the manager and remove the wrap from our bill, but no explanation or concern was offered about how a rock ended up in the food. We've tried to support this local establishment multiple times, but between the consistently poor service and now a foreign object in the food, we can't justify returning. Extremely disappointing experience.

Saturday 11;00am and the…read morefirst thing i noticed was how busy it was outside at the gas pumps and how very quiet inside at the restaurant, only two tables being served. We were seated at a very delapidated seat at the window and given menus. I noticed a lot of east indian meals listed. Our order was taken by a nice young waitress and brought out in short order. My order consisted of sausage/eggs/toast and potato chunks. The plate looked quite bland, not extremely appealing, the sausage was dripping so much oil that i used two napkins to soak up the residual. The eggs cooked as requested, the potato chunks were dried up as if left over from the previous day. I have never before seen assorted jams repackaged in small containers and left out on the table. This was the first time i have been offered a visa machine to pay where the tip starts at 15%. Next time in Nanton we will not return to the Bridge but try another restaurant.
