Balmoral Hotel

I understand the Bistro is closed pending sale. Not surprising, scolding customers who leave a less than stellar review by telling them to eat at home next time is never a good business plan. We can relate, as we tried to eat here once but bailed after over an hour and a half of waiting for a salad and sandwich. Looking forward to new ownership, will try it again then.

Was there for lunch, table of 4, restaurant was not busy and to get the attention of the server was impossible. Cost of meals was high and the food was nothing that wowed any of us. The fish tacos was nothing but a piece of over breaded cod with little flavour in the slaw that accompanied it and the nacho chips with it were stale and the pico was watery tomatoes with no flavour. The ‘wild’ burger that was a mixture of bison and other game was dry and again without flavour. First and last time for us I ams sure.

Was visiting my home town for a talk at the local HS and got in the night before. Though the room was cramped, it was VERY clean and when I messed up the TV remote, someone was there almost immediately to 'set me right'. Ate that night downstairs and though the menu is limited, the food was great. If someone were wanting more variety, there are many eateries within a 5-10 minute walk. On a sidenote, this was the same place where I was kicked out of the bar for being underage in 1979!
