Service is great. Our waitress Lily is the best. If she doesn't know the answer, she'll go ask. She's a wealth of knowledge. The menu has a good amount to choose from. Lily recommended the short rib dinner. Fantastic. The veggies of beets, carrots, asparagus were beautiful. Warm and flavorful. Of 3 dishes, 2 would have liked the vegetables to be cooked a couple more minutes to be fork tender. But it was so good I even ate a white beat and I hate beets! But this was mild and good! The Greek salad was reported very good and looked inviting. The rib sandwich was great. The Brie and Korean chicken appetizers were very tasty. My white sangria was the best. The restaurant is welcoming atmosphere. The outside dining looked wonderful. We chose inside for the cool air. Prices were bad for fine dining. I want to return. read more

Came for happy hour while we were waiting for our laundry. Fair prices, delicious food (we had the calamari and the Korean chicken) and wonderful service. Sitting outside near the lake was gorgeous too. There are a fair amount of shaded tables depending on time of day. read more

This is a great place for lunch after the lake boat tour. There's a lot of variety of menu options. The restaurant is nicely decorated, large, and has both indoor and outdoor options. The view of the lake is beautiful. There were 4 of us. The food was great! Butter Chicken with rice and warm naan, steak sandwich with fries, teriyaki chicken bowl with loads of veggies. read more

The tables have a nice view of the water and mountains, they also have tables outside and a couple of wooden swing benches. Our order arrived fast, our server was attentive. We ordered calamari, burger and truffle chicken parmesan. The calamari has a hint of spiciness, serving was small. The burger and chicken parmesan were good but nothing special. read more

The ambience of this lakeside restaurant was outstanding. Service was excellent with our server checking with us at appropriate times to verify that everything was okay. I ordered the New York striploin steak with asparagus, mashed potatoes and root vegetables. Everything was perfectly prepared. While a bit pricy for a Waterton restaurant, the ambiance, delicious food and good service justifies the cost. read more

Lakeside Chophouse - 10 oz. New York sirloin - Diners Near Me - Waterton Park, Alberta

Nice ambiance very cozy. Location is perfect with lake view. Waiter is Ryan, friendly and efficient. We ordered Moroccan soup and Nashville chicken as appetizers. Both are very good. Teriyaki chicken bowl is so so, burger is great, so are the Parmesan chicken, butter chicken, and short rib. A bit on the pricey side but it's to be expected in a National park that only opens a few months in a year. Ordered chocolate to die for cake, it's a bit dry but the ice cream that comes with it is awesome! read more

Not impressed. Service was SUPER slow. Waited forever to get water and menus. Almost walked out at that point. Then a nice waitress said she'd serve us even tho we weren't her table so we stayed. I think she lied. Waited forever for the entree. Salmon was way overcooked, but I was starving at this point. Waited forever to find out the flavors of ice cream they had. You'd think they could serve a scoop of ice cream quickly. No! We waited forever for that. We were almost the only ones left seated inside and requested the bill sever times. Of course, we waited forever for the bill. When we finally got it, they had added an item to the bill. Always check your bill. I felt like they did this on purpose. This place has a nice view, but is run very poorly. read more

Can't beat the views! The patio is right next to the lake and it's so pretty on a sunny day. It wasn't busy during lunch hour on a weekday, service was excellent but a bit slow. Food was delightful and tasty! Fish and chips were really crispy and oily, missing a bit of salt in the fries but yum! Butter chicken was really good too, nothing to say there! Doughnuts were fresh and soft! Thought they would be a bit more mini, but I enjoyed them! Great lunch spot and would recommend! read more

Great food, great service, beautiful view. Fried chicken sandwich was wonderful. Highly recommended

Super fast service with Jasmine. she went above and beyond to meet our needs delicious food. modern and comfortable ambiance. lake view so lovely. I had the beef dip sandwich and my husband had the Kung pao noodles with chicken. Both were delicious. read more

Average food and very subpar service. We came in a large group but had a long standing reservation. The waiter was decidedly unfriendly, repeatedly simply dropped plates onto the table and walked away, and gave the impression that he would rather have been anywhere else. I had the petit filet and if that was actually a tenderloin, it was the first one that I have ever seen that looked that way. The salmon came out borderline cold and it all went downhill from there. Ambiance was fine but if you are looking for satisfying dining, go elsewhere. read more

Food - Excellent flavor and appearance. Service - Adam provided wonderful service to our table and engaged in some conversation which made us feel right at home. Ambiance - on 14JUN25, several deer were walking along the waterfront which is within 25 feet of outside diners. This is a beautiful location on one of the most beautiful lakes in N. America! For the four of us this was a must not miss location and was recommended by the manager at our RV park! read more

The salmon was delicious, if slightly too salty. The service was exceptional, very pleasant, helpful and attentive. Nice place to spend midafternoon catching up on my writing. Since the restaurant has a lovely view of the lake as well as a patio, I would praise the ambiance too. The local berry and brown ales were both good. read more

probably a 4.5 but prices were quite high--even for Waterton. The setting is lovely with in or outdoor seating and several deer share the patio with you!. service was spot on. we started with crab cakes--thank you for no bell pepper but they needed some kind of sauce for flavor. Brussel sprouts were excellent. Butter chicken was tasty but very stingy on the amount of chicken. Short ribs were excellent and a decent size serving but quite expensive. Grilled salmon was enjoyed with a sweet sauce--my son enjoyed it. very nice dinner read more

Nice setting by the lake. Portions were large. We ordered the squash teriyaki bowl and the ahi tuna bowl. Both were good but way too much to eat. Wish we could have taken leftovers to have the next day but we had no place to take them. Service was a bit slow but the view made up for it. read more

Don't bother eating here. Ambiance is the only thing it has going for it. Ordered Lobster Tiger shrimp linguini. The shrimp were NOT Tiger shrimp. Bread was hard and stale. Service was non existent. read more

Excellent food and ambience. We really enjoyed our dinner here. Loved sitting out on the patio. Excellent service.

The tortilla soup was excellent. Highly recommend. Our server Brad was fabulous. Professional and funny. read more

My wife and I stayed at the Kilmoray Lodge which was a great hotel, rooms are great and are clean. We were going to eat dinner there as well but in the end we decided on the Lakeside Chophouse. Tracy and Morgan were very attentive and provided great service and conversation. We both decided on the braised short ribs and they are TO DIE FOR!! So tender you could cut them with a fork, moist and flavourful, some the best we have ever had! Don't hesitate to eat at the Chophouse and we recommend the short ribs but I'm willing to bet everything else is fantastic as well. read more

Solid place for a nicer dinner with a view. The Buddha bowl was refreshing and delicious. The prawns and scallops risotto was really good. The prime rib was solid. The star of this place was Brad. Brad is our hero. read more

Beautiful restaurant by the lake. Good service and quality food. We dined there three times while in Waterton and I'd definitely return. read more

Loved this restaurant! I was there as part of a group so I wasn't expecting much. Everyone at our table was very impressed with the food and service. Salmon was cooked to absolute perfection and a big portion. The mashed potatoes were amazing. We had cheesecake for dessert and loved that too. It is a lovely setting but the food was the star! read more

Stopped for dinner and had fish and chips that were delicious. The order comes with 2 huge pieces of lightly battered fish. Our waitress Dominique was so pleasant and attentive. Would go back just to have the great service we had from her. K & B read more

We visited on a trip to Waterton. We did not sit on the patio because the mosquitoes were bad on our walk to the restaurant. My wife's Caesar salad was generously loaded with Parmesan cheese. My burger was bacon good and flavorful. Our server did a good job while handling numerous tables. read more

What a fantastic end to a day in the mountains. My steak was perfectly cooked. The fresh vegetables were steamed perfectly, and the dinner overall was just perfect. Cocktails are reasonably priced, pairing nicely with the the outstanding service. If you find yourself in Waterton, and need am relaxing upscale meal sitting on a patio watching the sunset over waterton lake.....then this is a must. read more

We had a lovely dinner for 6 on the patio facing the lake. Everyone loved their food, the ambiance and the great service. The food was fresh, not heavy, a nice variety of options and flavor was well balanced. This place was so good that I'll definitely go again the next time we visit Waterton. read more

We stopped at the Lakeside Chophouse for dinner on Sunday afternoon. While all the tables on the patio with umbrellas were occupied, we were seated at a table with partial shade from the building. Within 20 minutes of being seated our table was mostly shaded and the sun was beating down on the umbrella tables from a Westerly angle. Being lakeside, the water and mountain views were magnificent. The food? Well, magnificent, as well. I had the Braised Short Ribs and my wife the Kung Pao Bowl with Chicken. The portions were huge. Boxes transported Sunday supper. The food was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Having had some CIA training, I am a tough critic of food prep and seasoning and these meals were second to none. While the prices seemed high, the portion sizes made them quite reasonable. The service was spot on. Definitely a gem in Waterton village. read more

Great breakfast buffet! Jane was an awesome server who made us feel welcome and special. She photographed us as well as entertained us with her conversation about life in the hospitality industry in Waterton. All the while, she kept our table cleared and our coffee cups filled with hot coffee. The breakfast buffet presented all the usual American favorites, and nothing was substandard or above expectations, but the view of the lake from the patio and Jane's hospitality was worth all of these 5 stars. read more

Lakeside Chophouse - Lobby taxidermy, a cougar shot by James Garner. - Diners Near Me - Waterton Park, Alberta

Not a bad place to eat! One of the fancier restaurants in town. We dined here on a Sunday night and it was bustling with people but not overly busy. Service was friendly and quick, menu had many delicious options to choose from and everyone's food around us looked amazing! My friend and I both had the top sirloin and it was done to perfection (medium rare) however the cut wasn't the best considering the price. And $8 for a side of mushrooms seems steep. But, you're in a small tourist town... so expectations weren't all that high. Very nice view from the restaurant. We were all satisfied with our dishes; not amazing, but nothing much worth complaining about. Would eat here again. read more

We arrived about 20 mins early for our reservation. Assuming that would be annoying, we figured we would just grab a drink at the bar. The staff from beginning to start was completely amenable and friendly. In short time we were at our table, Brad our standup comedian/server was a blast. Food was the best we've had in 5 days since being in the park. Spoil yourself at least once on your vacation and eat here. Sorry I don't have a food pic. I was hungry and ate it before it crossed my mind. read more

The wine list has a fair selection from all over the world. The menu is very diverse, spanning Italian to Indian to steak. The Kobe meatballs and spaghetti is tasty but the meatballs are bland. The bison ribeye is a thin cut, very lean but tasty. The butter chicken, one of my favorite Indian dishes, was amazing!! Better than one of my favorite restaurants at home. Great job! Natasha is an excellent server. Very sweet and attentive. read more

Stopped here for breakfast and the food was okay. The waffles were dry but the chicken was amazing! A bit over priced in my opinion read more

Lakeside Chophouse - Chicken & Waffles - Diners Near Me - Waterton Park, Alberta

Ordered the bison bibeye. It was cooked the way I wanted, medium well, but it wasn't seasoned enough. A dry rub of some kind, even salt, would have helped. The steak had a lot of gristle and even a hint of tendon. Maybe a better grade of meat next time?? The garlic mashed potatoes were really good. Service was excellent, the place was really modern and clean, but that doesn't make a low grade of steak become Prime. For that reason I can only give 3 stars. read more

Started with a nice lunch, and ended up going back for dinner on two different occasions. I had a a tasty salmon sandwich and my wife had a Cajun chicken sandwich. Both were good and the generous serving if fries were delicious. The side salad was very nice. We went back for dinner twice, having stir fried shrimp (it was ok) steak au poivre (tasty, cooked perfectly, but barely a choice cut of meat) salmon and ling cod (both very tasty, but both over cooked). Deserts were awesome: a chocolate cake to die for and Saskatoon berry pie. Service was very attentive and the setting, overlooking the lake was just perfect. read more

You can't have a better view while dining in Waterton (except from the Prince of Wales hotel). We were able to snag an outside table on the Friday of a holiday weekend without a reservation. Why people didn't want to sit outside baffled us given it was reasonably warm out. The fish and chips were solid - the chips were actually quite good. The short ribs were ok but not as tender as they could have been - certainly have had better elsewhere. Our server was friendly and efficient. Come for the patio view! August 2014 read more

We had buffet breakfast and a dinner here. Service is friendly, and the restaurant has a warm ambiance. Lovely views of the lake. Food is decent, not bad, not thrilling. We had an uninspiring salad. Chicken with mashed potatoes, and pie for dessert were delicious. Strong three star rating. read more

this was a wonderful meal. we had been hiking in glacier and struggling to find places to eat. We made our way to Waterton Provincial Park and we're lured in by the menu. we had a terrific meal and our waiter Brad was more than helpful. we ordered steaks and the tuna stack--both super yummy. I highly recommend. read more

This place has a gorgeous view. It is the only restaurant on the water. However, it leaves a lot to be desired. First, we ate outside at approximately 1:30 PM. The outside tables were full. There was absolutely no one seated on the inside of the restaurant. It took 15 minutes to get menus. We gave the server our drink orders. This time it was 20 minutes before we got my iced tea and his beer. Already, we're over 30 minutes. Then it's another 15 minutes before our order gets taken. He had a sandwich and I had the poke bowl. Both were excellent. But guess what?? How long does it take to fix this when no new customers are coming in and you have none on the inside?? It's another 50 minutes at least before we get our food. We keep asking and Michael (we think that was his name keeps saying it will be right out. So we eat and enjoy the view and the food but are frustrated as we had other places we wanted to stop. We're done. And we're waiting. We get our bill and we're waiting. Another 20 minutes before we finally get up and leave. So, who comes racing over within a minute?? Michael! It was an awful experience and even the gorgeous view would not be enough to convince us to go back there. Someone needs some server training. read more

Be aware for bill scams! Terrible experience. We were traveling to Waterton from Glacier NP in the states and stopped by to eat at one of the few places still open at the end of the season. The wait staff was poor, we sat inside but continually had flies and bees bothering us as we were dining. The food was average and a bit overpriced. Worst part was that restaurant gives only a 110 to 100 exchange rate between Canadian and US dollars and doesn't post that anywhere visible. We asked our waiter to verify the price in US and Canadian and if paying cash was okay, but then when I got my change back it was far less than I expected. I asked for my money back and then paid by AMEX to avoid the steep rate. If you want to soak me because I'm a Yank and all, fine but at least make I'm informed to the exchange rate before i pay. read more

This is a followup to my previous review of the Bayshore Inn, where I unfortunately stayed during summer vacation. One star is for the lack of customer service and lackadaisical attitude of employee at both locations. When I called the front desk to make me dinner reservations, they suggested the wine bar that is affiliated with this property and told me that I don't need reservations. We wandered over there only to find that the "Chophouse" restaurant is where dinner is actually served and you do need a reservation for that. For those that don't know, the hotel, wine bar, and restaurant are all connected in one large unit. The owner responded on my previous review "I am sorry that when you called the front desk they told you that you didn't need reservations for the wine bar, but to their defense , the wine bar does not take reservations so they did answer your question correctly." I DID NOT WANT A RESERVATION FOR THE WINE BAR, I WANTED TO DINNER. I was very clear about that, and I did not even know there was a wine bar until the front desk suggested it. After the fact, I sincerely felt that the receptionist was just too lazy to make us a reservation. When we arrived at the wine bar, we were told that we needed a reservation at the "Chophouse" to eat dinner. After identifying the front desk of the restaurant, we continued to wait for over ten minutes before being greeted, despite the fact that several hosts were just standing around at the desk. One of the hostesses was dressed in an extremely tight and skimpy and torn black dress that you'd expect to see on a street walker. The owner seems to think it is unfair to say this, but I honestly don't know any other way to describe what one looks like when they wear a dress several sizes too small that is fraying at the seems. Her look reminded me of Anna Nicole circa 2006 (remember that bizarre clown makeup trend?). Eventually a gentleman who appeared to be a manager roamed over and appeared surprised that we hadn't been helped with all of the hosts still standing around. He was the only person that seemed to be aware of his surroundings (and have any customer service skills) and promptly had us seated. We had bison sliders and a bison reuben on a gluten free bun. Our server, Natasha, was a little odd and seemed surprised that we requested med-rare cook temp. Apparently at the Chophouse, everything is prepared to a charred extra well done. Service is extremely slow. Food was okay. Drinks remind you of something you'd see on a chain restaurant happy hour menu, full of artificial food color (reminded me of kool-aid). The panacotta was gluten free and easily the best part of the whole deal. Only other positive is that we got a dinner discount for being hotel guests, but I wouldn't suggest coming here even if you get the discount. read more
