I'd indicated it was a special occasion on the reservation, and that got us a nice thank you card and free cheesecake for dessert (which was great!). I had the fish and chips, which was cooked to perfection (their fries are excellent), and my wife had the baked lasagna which she loved. But nothing was better than the "Apple Pie on the Rocks" cocktail which she said was the best cocktail she'd ever had in her life. We'll be back!   1st Visit: We loved our first visit here a few days ago so much, we're coming back again already! The staff is fantastic, the ambiance is relaxing, and the food was excellent. Our party had a mixture of dishes, including a smoked old fashioned drink, filet mignons, pepperoni pizza, chicken sandwich, and other things. Everyone was impressed with their food and drinks. I had the Cajun Chicken Fettuccine, and it was flavorful and delicious, with just the right amount of spicy kick. Excellent garlic toast as well, only lightly spiced with garlic. I departed with some leftovers and it was even better the next day. The Caramel Apple Crisp was amazing and is a must-try for dessert! The other thing that impressed me was that all our food came out at the same time, and everything was hot and fresh. A lot of restaurants can't pull that off.

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!

We went in for a super late reservation of 9:15pm, because on Wednesdays, they have a nice special dinner for two that comes with an 18 oz ribeye, cheese bread, two salads, two side dishes, and a slice of cheesecake. This place screams luxury. The bathroom has an attendant (sign outside says no tip) that walked over to give me a fresh towel every time I washed my hands. They also had pads, tampons, mints, floss, extra clothes, anything you could think of for grabs! When I got up to use the restroom, my server looped his arm around mine to escort me there. It was genuinely quite insane lol!!! We tried the Waldorf salad and the house salad. Waldorf was delicious - who knew celery, apples, walnuts, and arugula in a creamy dressing would be so refreshing?? The house salad was pretty standard with a nice addition of radishes. Then came the cheesy bread. That was so insanely fluffy and cheesy - literally some of the best bread I've ever had. Reminiscent of the Taiwanese cheesy garlic bread. The steak was very hearty and perfectly medium!! We had the roasted mushrooms and the broccolini. Broccolini was perfect - just the right chew, crunchy but soft inside, with a light lemon butter and garlic on top. The mushrooms were a bit heavier. They came out perfect, but the longer the sat, the longer it marinated. We finished with the cheesecake. This is on the heavier side, and a great way to finish out the meal! Overall, the food was amazing!! This is the perfect date night romantic spot or just for a super nice meal with stellar service!!

Our server Amanda was also very knowledgeable and professional and provided exemplary customer service. The restaurant decor is nice, clean, and modern but had the right amount of Texan Cowboy flare with an intimate dimly lit setting. I was so impressed.

The "baked" potato was microwaved vs actually baked And it was so cool that the butter I put on it didn't melt. Ordered a side of garlic prawns and got 3 small unflavored shrimp instead that were maybe an inch long if you stretched it out. my sons fries were undercooked (some weren't even golden, they were still potato white) And said some of them were kinda crunchy/stiff. I had the owners cut of prime rib and it was smaller than the last two times I had been to smugglers where I ordered a smaller cut (first mate) And it was cold, even the au jus was barely warm. Also probably the smallest Yorkshire pudding I've ever had there. Maybe 1/3 the size you use to get. We ordered desert and it took newly 30 mins for it to be brought out - my son's "warm" apple krisp was cold he said. i have been smugglers at least A dozen times in the last 3 years and more so in the last decade and this was by far the worst experience I have ever had. In both service and quality. As it stands I would not recommend - where as before I always raved about the smugglers inn. For a $400+ bill for myself and my 3 kids, I def expected way better quality, actual warm food and not have to wait a combined time of over an hour for service. It was also my son's birthday, and he found the experience very disappointing and said he never wants to go back. When we booked we said it was a birthday, we mentioned it was his birthday and the server didnt even say happy birthday to him. Oh and it wasn't even that busy when we got there... there was maybe 10 costumers when we arrived. I might try it again due to past visits being great. But another experience like tonight and I'll probably take my prime rib expeditions else where. I doubt my kids will ever go back as the complained how horrible it was the entire drive home. I usually don't give a lot of reviews but it was such a sub-par experience I had to report it.
