    The food is better than you expect, the vibe is chill and adult, and it's a great to place to enjoy a drunk and look over the lake.

    We had a very enjoyable meal at Morgan's Bistro. The daily specials were excellent. The Caesar…read moresalad had a good dressing, but the lettuce could have been fresher and cut into more manageable, bite-sized pieces. The service was friendly, attentive. The ambiance was cozy and inviting for most of our meal. However, near closing time the music was turned up quite a bit, which made us feel like we were being encouraged to leave. It took away a little from an otherwise relaxing dining experience. Overall, we had a good meal.

    We visited to celebrate a couple of birthdays, including my 10 year old niece, and what should have…read morebeen a simple family dinner turned into an oddly ambitious attempt at performance art. The evening began with the reservation. I called twice to confirm. On the first call, a young man took the booking, confirmed the patio request, and then asked for my credit card over the phone for the 30 dollar no show fee. I declined and asked that he email me so I could provide it securely. No email arrived. I called again and spoke with a woman who assured me everything was confirmed. Upon arrival, I was told a patio reservation was impossible because they "do not do that." Fair enough, except the patio had an open table for eight. When I asked if we could take it, I was told it was reserved for a walk in. In the three hours we were there, that table remained untouched. Either the walk in was exceptionally punctual in not arriving, or the explanation was simply convenient. Now to the food, which unfortunately did not redeem the plot. Every steak ordered at our table was overcooked, and service pacing was inconsistent. Dishes arrived in scattered intervals, with one meal landing after the rest of the table had already finished. Even on a busy night, timing is part of hospitality, not an optional add on. I can forgive a kitchen having an off moment. What was harder to overlook was the lack of professionalism on the floor. A server's skirt repeatedly rode up to the point that her buttocks were visibly exposed while bending and leaning, including directly outside the glass beside our table. My niece, seated by the window, turned toward a noise and was met with an image no family dining experience should include. My sister discreetly and politely notified our waitress, as one would hope someone would do for them. The issue continued multiple times afterward. There was no manager on duty. We were given the owner's number, and I left a voicemail. If I receive a response, I will gladly update this review. As it stands, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Between the reservation contradictions, overcooked steaks, erratic pacing, and a front of house standard that fell well below basic expectations, the experience missed the mark in ways that were both avoidable and unnecessary.

    Islands Bar & Patio is on Harrison's Hot Springs Property and if you've read my review for it, you…read moreknow I wasn't pleased. The other restaurants couldn't even offer GF, so we skipped them, but we wandered here for a drink. We were pleasantly surprised by the staff, who were so friendly, a large selection of drinks, and a menu that our waitress was able to walk through for gluten free options. Yay. It is a traditional hotel seating area. It's loud, it's fairly unorganized, and it's busy so you wait a while. The chairs aren't all that comfy. But the drinks make up for it and like I said, gluten free options were key for me. The food is traditional pub fare mostly, with a few full size options. They are fairly greasy and cooked at the restaurant next door, so the poor waitress has to go pick them up and carry them over in big covered platters. They hit the spot though and sometimes that's all it takes.

My aunt and mom both got steaks and I just got garlic butter prawns because I knew I was going to end up on food clean-up duty. The garlic butter prawns with ciabatta garlic bread was absolutely delectable!! I honestly wasn't expecting such good food in a hotel restaurant. They were slathered in butter (lol), and it was seasoned perfectly. I wish there was more bread to go with it though. The steaks were cooked perfectly medium rare for my soft mouth and were covered in a pool of a delicious sauce reduction. The bed of mashed potatoes were perfectly smooth and went well with the steak. The vegetables were well-cooked, but pretty plain (the norm for western restaurants). There was a good variety of vegetables though, which I enjoyed a lot! Unfortunately, I don't see the steak on their most recent online menu anymore. It definitely needs to be brought back! Service was impeccable, we were well taken care of by our server. Ambience is typical hotel restaurant vibes--casual-fancy.

The fries were crispy and complemented the meal perfectly. The service was friendly and fast, and the restaurant had a clean, welcoming atmosphere. It's hard to find a place that gets everything right, but this one definitely does. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great burger, and I'll definitely be coming back!

    Checked this place out while visiting Harrison Lake Hot Springs. So other reviewers have stated…read morethat this place is great and you get a huge amount of food for having the reputation of a tourist trap. I will agree and disagree with some of these reviews from a perspective of a tourist but also someone who eats out a lot. The good: food was good, staff was friendly, ambience was enjoyable sitting outside near the lake in the shade. Family enjoyed the food, especially the fish although our pieces were crumbling and falling apart just touching them to move to other plates. Fries were good, tenders were good. Tartar sauce had a slight honey mustard taste which was a nice change. The bad: prices have gone up since last persons post 9 months ago. Items have increased $2-$3 dollars since then. Someone claiming the burgers were huge and could barely finish half of one, also confirmed by staff they were huge, was not so the case. It was a standard size burger I would compare to slightly shorter than a Big Mac at McDonald's. Other critique was the gravy on the poutine was slightly on the salty side as well. Dining bonus they give you 10% of at picnics ice cream and dessert place that is located next door. Overall it was a nice lunch but will cost you a considerate amount being in a tourist area. Our bill was $89 before tips for a family of 5 with a toddler sharing 3 entrees and drinking water.

Employee or owner here was super nice and friendly. Made adjustments for us as needed, even took another persons walk in order past closing time at 8:30pm. We ordered 2 large chefs special and wings. Honey garlic wings were tasty. I ordered sauce on the side so the chicken wings were marinated and season in some herbs. You get about 10-12 small wings per order. The pizza had a dough ball in the middle of the pizza which was interesting. Overall pizza crust was tasty and toppings plentiful. My only critique was that the sauce was a bit bland and could use extra herbs and seasoning. Family of 5 we only went thru 1 pizza and had a whole pizza untouched remaining. Recommend buying only 1 large pizza and an appetizer if your party is small or have kids as a 2-3 slices were filling.

While in Hope, we had decided that we were going to try this restaurant during our Harrison stay. Daughter and I found the restaurant had moved to a new location since our last trip, and into a building that we were familiar with, and much larger than the former one they occupied previously. With the signage and all, it looked good to us. We called one afternoon to ensure they would be open at the time we wished to dine, and in a couple of hours were there and settled in for what we hoped would be an exciting new dining experience. We were not disappointed. Our host/server was very friendly, cordial, and sure helpful. We went in knowing quite little about Indian food, but had studied their menu beforehand back at the hotel, and took it with us to the restaurant. We showed her the dishes we had checked off as 'possibles' and sought her suggestions. This worked out perfectly -- we discussed all dishes, narrowed them down to a nice variety, and ordered. For a first time experience, I believe we did very well. We ended up with a rather nice selection of dishes - from appetizers to main dishes - a good variety of introductory tastes, and wonderful flavours. We had ordered 'mild' - the foods were definitely spicy, but about perfect for the three of us. We hope to have the opportunity to dine there again, and now have a good idea on how and what to order, and are looking forward to it. I know one thing for sure, we will each have a samosa - the samosa we shared this time was so good!! Thanks to our host, her good service, and the exciting food we tried, we much-enjoyed our dining experience at the Royal King Indian Restaurant.

Despite it being quite busy, the service was remarkably fast, efficient and friendly! The environment on a Saturday was definitely "pre-party" in that the music was loud (but just under being too loud), the crowd was happy and having fun. I saw at least one round of shooters going by to a table of older folks, lol! If you have an aversion to loud places, try the outdoor seats or maybe wear Loops or other such gear. It is a pub, but kids are allowed until 9pm. As for the food, we just ordered the calamari and the wings (salt & pepper as the hubby can't eat chilies). We were really surprised at how good they both were. The calamari had a thin, crispy coating that wasn't too greasy. The wings were properly and fully cooked without being overcooked. So many busy pubs serve half raw wings, so I was really pleased with the wings. Also, I thought the chicken was of good quality, not something I usually notice with this dish.

I tip even when I pick up. Tonight, I'm putting in my order online, which I have done for years and years, at precisely 8:20 pm, and as usual I pick up about 8:45, as has been my mode for years. But tonight - my order is canceled at 8:23 pm as I get a notification "Restaurant is closed". It's Thursday, Jan 8th. Online says they are open until 9pm. I call to make sure it's not a weird holiday, and they answer. Yes - they are open until 9. But they stop taking orders at 8:30. I explain to them that's it is not even 8:30 Now , as we are speaking - and my online order was canceled. The young person on the phone says, 'that's just how it is. But give me your order now over the phone'. Am I wrong to be frustrated that I had already spent 10 mins online choosing from the menu and inputting my choices into the checkout.. another $100 dollar order, to be told to repeat this process while they are 1) still open during the window of receiving orders (before 8:30, tho this news to me), and 2) no apologies, just a reprimand on a policy that hasn't even taken effect at 8:20pm. Not an outrageous order, not a lot - just spendy things. I've always gotten my order in 20 mins, so they would still be open. Anyway - i told her - no - I won't be placing an order over the phone I already spent 10 mins making online and am in checkout. I'm sure this kid doesn't have the ability to fathom someone spending 20k at a restaurant, but I'm sure the managers/owners do. Simple math. Get your policies straight. Fix your online system. Do these things quickly. Your competitor with the same hours are more than happy to take orders at 8:20. Cheam Sushi has had some 'fishy' sushi etc once or twice, but 99.9% of the time they are out of this world, hence my loyalty and hard earned $$$. I would like an explanation why the online system is bouncing back orders at 8:20. I'm frustrated because I was truly looking forward to them tonight, my 1st order of 2026. Not a good start.
