    Poor service, waited 20 minutes until even seeing a server, server very disorganized and inefficient. Poor menu selection, and menu differed from what was advertised on line. unable to order what was preferred due to allergy on the limited menu, serving stating all sandwiches were made in the morning therefore could not be changed to accommodate the allergy. Who makes a hot sandwich in the morning and serves it for dinner!!?? Substitute order was hamburger, forgot the condiments, hamburger was cold on arrival, and very dry. Second meal was cold also. “ Live” music was atrocious, loud and off tune. Everything totally sub par. I have never ever had to provide such a poor review of a restaurant, this restaurant unworthy of the beautiful facility in which it is located.

    Do NOT eat here, food was terrible and extremely overpriced. And service was pathetic, waited for 20 plus minutes after finishing our meal before our server finally came. And he only came because we flagged down the bartender from across the restaurant for the check. Was there with my girlfriend and I finished my beer 30 mins before we left and wanted another but wasn’t offered or waited on once to order it. Bratwurst was trash, charcuterie was absurdly expensive with only 2 types of cheeses, I thought it was a joke. Smoked meat was decent. Get your stuff together please

    We had a lovely dinner with our 8 year old. Food was great and the service was enthusiastic but once I was finished eating my meal, the waiter took my plate and grabbed my son's plate really quickly and dashed away before my son could say that he was still eating. He literally had a fork in his hand and was putting a piece of his salad in his mouth. The plates were in the kitchen before we could say anything so we just left it - but just a heads up for staff, ask before taking a plate that has an entire salad left on it...

    We were expecting a nice classy pub-like experience, but it was noisy, had no class, lacked atmosphere and ambiance. We were seated near a window, but it felt like we were in a basement and shoved in a corner. Food took a long time to come to table after we ordered. It was ok, but the feeling and noise of the place interfered with our enjoyment of the food. They should say that all parents bring their children to this restaurant, rather than show only pictures of adults dining. We were told to dress ‘smart casual’, yet the dress code really is sweatpants and sloppy. We will never eat here again.

    We were greeted by very friendly staff who were kind enough to seat us 30 minutes earlier than our reserved time as we’d finished our other activities sooner than expected. The customer service remained at a high level through the entire experience. All that we tried off of the menu was delicious and perfectly prepared - we would highly recommend the fried chicken and nachos as starters!

    This place is trying very hard to have a hipster kind of vibe and the menu had much potential. Unfortunately, the food was simply not good. The flatbread was smaller than a cheap mini frozen pizza and wasn’t crisp at all. It was wet and floppy. My husband’s meal also left much to be desired. We dined at other restaurants at this hotel during our stay and they were much better. Try those instead.

    The food tasted terrible- ordered ceviche - had to send back - worst I have ever had. Other did not taste good and tiny portions. Had tacos, ribs, soup. Service was poor. Waiter disappeared for long periods of time. Someone else eventually came with our check. Awful expect. Waste of time and money on our vacation.

    Lake Louise in August is a zoo. Parking lots are full, meaning that you may have to park miles away, take shuttles into town and then walk distances to sights. I say this because it explains why the gatekeeper to the Chateau Lake Louise facilities grilled me about our lunch reservation and (eventually) grudgingly allowed us to pass to the parking facility. Once past that, everything went well. The service was gracious (esp. concierge and restaurant staff), the hotel lovely (if the ideal of an urban high-rise plopped directly in front of a glacial fed lake appeals to), and the setting incomparable. The food at Alpine Social was rustic and very good, the service terrific, prices reasonable by local standards. Well worth a visit. Careful with the boutique shops, though, because one could easily end up with a second or third mortgage to cover one's purchases.

    Alpine SocialResponded on August 16, 2019Thank you for leaving your feedback and review with us on OpenTable! We would like to apologize that your parking experience was stressful - but are pleased it was worth the visit! We are glad you enjoyed the service and food!

    Perfect light lunch before hiking around Lake Louise. Made a last minute reservation before our planned hike so we could see the hotel and be able to park close to the trail. Sat on the heated patio overlooking the lake and had a very friendly Aussie server, nice glass of wine, and small plates. My shrimp could have been a bit better, but then again we live in Boston and are used to ultra fresh seafood. It was a great start to our day on Lake Louise!

    Service was glacially slow. Understand it was the beginning of the season, so *very* inexperienced staff all the way around. It was not packed & drinks sat on the bar ready to go for 10+ minutes, water wasn’t refilled, waitress was a ghost. The host was pretentious. However, the duck confit & pork belly were both delicious!!! Overall, a disappointment compared to other Fairmont properties.

    Over-priced, average food. The Flatbread was good, but the Mushroom Ravioli sauce (sun-dried tomato pesto) unsuitable for mushrooms at all. The price of drinks is absolutely overrated.
