    We’ve been to Padrinos lots of time, but this time, the food was not the best. My vegetables were stone cold, on a hot plate, my chicken Parmesan was really dried out and the pasta was like warm. It was really disappointing. Also our server was almost non existent, he came and went only when he was bringing us food.

    The caprese salad was FULL of greens and only had 1 or 2 pieces of basil. I don’t believe greens is on the list of ingredients on the menu.

    Padrinos used to be my favorite place in Grande Prairie to have a somewhat upscale meal. Unfortunately the last few times we’ve eaten there the food quality has been getting worse and worse. This last time everything tasted like it was a few days old. Service was great though.

    You will not find better appetizers in town , the calamari and the prawns are absolutely amazing. The staff are always quick and friendly and the place is quiet and relaxing. The only downside that I would say is the main dishes have slowly went down in size I had the halibut but the last 4 times I’ve gone the piece of fish has gone smaller and smaller to the point I think there was more pesto on my halibut this last time then there was fish which was disappointing for what you pay , even less vegetables than normal this time as well. I will of course return and I cannot complain as overall it is an excellent meal but I will stick with pasta in the future as it is a full plate that is delicious.

    I booked the private dining room. Much to my surprise as well the other party of 6 we were both booked into the "private" dining room. It is NOT private if there are 2 parties in the same space. I would have went elsewhere if I thought for one minute that a private dining room would be shared. So disappointed. We could have been seated at a corner in the restaurant and had more privacy. Great service and great food.

    So disappointed! My favourite restaurant in GP. We have been coming for years and this is probably my first real disappointment in the food. I ordered the scallops and they would have been great if they would have come out hot. There were four large diver scallops that I love. One scallop was cold and the other three lukewarm. Not sure what happened but would like the kitchen yo step it up a notch. Service as always was great.

    Overall the meal and the service were fine, but one of us declined baked cheese on our pasta, but when the food was brought out they unapologetically stated the chef did add baked cheese. Knowingly bringing out an order that was incorrect is not the level of service we are used to. It puts the patron on the spot to accept or deny something they already stated they did not want. All the other orders were delicious and as ordered.

    It was a pleasant experience overall, Staff interaction was very professional. I had the Halibut, very small portion and overcooked (I know Halibut is a tough fish to cook began with but still I thought about sending it back but didn’t want to embarrass my wife ) My wife thoroughly enjoyed hers, the deserts and drinks were good. This is the 7th or 8th time we’ve been there and already planning to go back in the near future.

    Service was poor. It wasn’t busy and we waited almost an hour before the soup arrived, which we had to ask again for. Our meal came and it was Luke warm. It took us 2 hours to order and eat. Seems like a very long time when we weren’t ordering appies and drinks. We won’t be going back !

    Excellent food, salmon and vegys were really tasty, Service was great, they could do a little more to make this restaurant more cozy/private for a couple dining that want some privacy. We hadn’t been back to this restaurant for 3-4 years, we will be returning soon!
