The restaurant called me shortly after placing the order to tell me they were out of wings, which we replaced for something else. Then they called an hour and a half later to tell me they were out of the mac and cheese, but that was a pretty big one for us, we were REALLY excited for the mac and cheese and my boyfriend and I were raving about it to his parents :( Then finally when the order arrived, a lot of the things came in these tiny little cups, so much smaller than what we were anticipating. When our friends placed the order, it was massive portions in pie tins which is what we were expecting, so for what we paid vs. the portions we received, we were pretty disappointed. I can accept that I wrongfully assumed I ordered the same thing my friends ordered, clearly they did something different, but it would have been nice if the website had more specifications so that this could have been better prevented. And it also would have been great if we were told about the mac and cheese being sold out earlier because at that point it was way too late for us to decide to order somewhere else that actually would have had our order in stock.

I completely disagree with some of the previous reviews. We had an outstanding overall experience…read moreat this restaurant, and we ate in a lot of BBQ restaurants all over the USA. The ribs were moist, flavorful, and tender. The brisket was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The chicken wings were lightly breaded, crunchy, and delicious. The pulled pork was incredibly well done and tasted delightful. The loaded potato and the coleslaw were very good. The service was excellent; the manager came to check whether everything was okay. This place has a really cool vibe and nice decor. I will come back to try more delicious offerings. I highly recommend it!

Gord and I had lunch at Montana's BBQ & Bar on Wednesday…read more I had Buttermilk Fried Chicken (Tender, seasoned chicken: marinated in buttermilk and hand-tossed in our signature breading. Served over garlic mashed potatoes, freshly baked cornbread and topped with country-style gravy.). The potatoes were a tad salty and most of the batter on the chicken was the texture of solid rubber. This was my go-to when I went to a Montana's ... this time not so much. Gord had a Chicken Burrito Bowl (Fire-grilled, seasoned chicken breast on top of a bed of rice, roasted corn, beans, cheese, red peppers, guacamole, house-made Pico de Gallo and garnished with a creamy cilantro sauce and crunchy corn tortillas.). We realized long after we'd left that Gord's meal was missing the tortilla chips.

The Ewenwich was the best sandwich I've ever had and was great value as a lunch item, we even had leftovers. We toasted it in a pan when we got home for an extra level of crispiness. Don't miss out on this one! The crepes were more of what I would expect from an average place for a fair enough price, I would've appreciated more caramelization on the mushrooms and onions, as well as more cheese or greens to bind the filling together, but the accompanying side salad of the day was a nice touch and big enough to split! Restaurant experience: 5/5 Ewenwich: 5/5 Savoury crepes: 3.5/5

A date night treat for sure (don't come hungry or your wallet will cry, but you will still have no regrets). Service was great. Our waiter Luke was very friendly and gave us several local recommendations since we are from out of town. Scallops: They taste like pizza! Fancy pizza :) You get three scallops and they are perfectly cooked. Smoky with mild heat, and mildly sweet. Biltong Pizza: Savory biltong, sweet/tangy/savory balsamic, and cheese. Simple and INCREDIBLE. We had I think three of their pizzas at an event and this one was definitely the best. You can definitely fold these pizzas as they are a little floppy, but not too greasy. Plant (with Boerewors): The ultimate combination of several flavors from different countries. It teetered on the brink of too much, but somehow managed to balance with utmost grace. I've never actually had jollof rice before, but it met my expectations for being a tomato-y and spicy rice (it felt a little undercooked to me, but that might just be the correct texture). The sweeter savory curry and helped curb the spicyness of the rice (only slightly). There was A LOT happening with this dish and I can't accurately describe the flavors, but it was good and you must try it. This dish doesn't need boerewors, but we wanted to try it. It was okay! A drier/crumbly and herby savory sausage (I'm personally more a fan of a sweeter and dense sausauge like kielbasa). Duck: We love duck because it's slightly gamey, very rich, and silky soft when cooked right. This dish succeeded yet again in combining just the right amount of sweet and savory, which always pairs well with duck and brussel sprout dishes. Malva Pudding: Very delicious but I would say get one for yourself instead of sharing it :) Wish there were more almonds and jam ratio for the cake, but it was all very nice and sweet (just above not too sweet). The almonds added an extra crunchy and sweet (toffee-like) texture. The jam added a slightly tangy and sweet flavor. Though I have to say, I love a decadently sweet dessert and while I would get this again, the toffee pudding at Scran & Dram in New Hamburg wins in the battle of all desserts ever for me :)

Booooring. Good service, typical boutique / tourist destination restaurant pricing (not cheap),…read moremostly small plate servings...but overall a disappointment. We ordered: blue crab hashbrowns (the only standout; would definitely order again, except that I won't likely return), salt roasted beets, brussel sprout caesar, scallops, and duck breast; then we both had creme brûlée and espresso. We tried the three white wines, one was a forgettable Chardonnay and the other two...were equally forgettable, notwithstanding being less common grapes. Only the duck was a main-size serving, and we only chose it because when we ordered there was only one order of scallops remaining (for a 5:30 seating!). I want to say "just as well" because the scallops and sauce were bland so we got to try something else...however the duck was not merely uninteresting but the red pepper sauce didn't complement and contributed nothing. The scallops were priced like a main but only four little guys on the plate, the one upside if we had both chosen them we'd have had room for another order of those crab hashbrowns. The beets were also dull, no idea why the word salt is in the name because it was absent from the dish. No tang to anything except the brussel Caesar. I've seen the brussel sprout restaurant renaissance of the last 10-15 years, this dish is pretty common now. This one was on a par with many others I've had but no improvement, and some might be put off: fully half the outer leaves are charred to the point of becoming a mouthful of ash. Not crispy, just dry ash. I guess that's different...and maybe this is the root of the problem. This restaurant makes a point of changing their menu constantly; not just seasonally, but weekly, even daily. So maybe they're just trying out stuff that pops into the chef's head. With the exception of the crab, every dish seemed to need something to make it interesting or appealing. The espresso was good, but the creme brûlée was another ill conceived concoction, with some kind of raspberry trifle thing on the bottom and the creme was a strange thick porridge-like texture and not quite the typical flavour. Last complaint: their self-description says Elevated Comfort. No. Mundane bistro look and ok seating, but that steep and poorly lit descent to the basement washrooms is the opposite of comfort. Hey, maybe we just picked the wrong items from their evolving experiment of a menu. The people are all nice, the service was good, and none of the food was bad...just meh.
