    Delicious coffee and great service. Beautiful quiet place ! But poor quality coffee (and no espresso) kind of brings it down.

    Upon arrival it was evident that the server was not aware of the seating request by the fireplace area. After a brief conversation with her, and with an outstanding effort on her part, she was able to reconfigure the tables to our request. She apologized emphatically for not reading the request, as I informed her, that I phoned in the previous day to ensure the request would be doable and that the request was written on the open table forum. The service was rare standard outstanding also. Her attention to detail, initiative and communication skills were above reproach, plus her personality oozed confidence and an attractive demeaner. All this said, I gave her a 25% tip. Give this young woman a raise. Outstanding Ambassador for The Bavarian Inn.

    The ambiance was warm and inviting. Server was very pleasant but missed a few serving items like a cup for the tea, some silverware and hot (not cold) water for tea. I had the small Wiener schnitzel and the portion and vegetables were excellent - the schnitzel a bit grisly.

    It was our 56 wedding anniversary and I booked a table to celebrate the occasion. In spite of our table not being ready when we arrived at the reservation time, the wrong meal coming to our table and no bread (they had run out and it was just 7 o’clock ) the meal itself was very good. I might have to think twice about a future reservation.

    My parents visited us from Houston and since this is my Mom's fav restaurant around Calgary we came for dinner. We had an amazing time. Excellent food and wine, as always. The ambiance is also fantastic, low piano music makes for a wonderful classy dinner. The staff was super attentive to all our needs and wants. Thank you for a lovely experience. We can't wait to be back very soon.

    My husband is originally from Calgary but moved to the US in 2005. Every time we are in town to visit his Mom in Calgary we come to this restaurant. He frequented this restaurant for years before moving. The food is always outstanding and we have always enjoyed our visits there. On this trip our server was outstanding making excellent wine and desert recommendations. We enjoyed it so much we are going back for a second visit before we head back to the US. Wish there was a restaurant like this in Maryland.

    This was a first date and it was a wonderful experience. The service was just right-leaving us alone but checking in at the right moments. The food was superb. I had the kale Caesar and schnitzel-truly amazing. I could’ve done without the woman next to us watching a loud video on her phone but that was over quickly and no fault of the restaurant. I will definitely return

    Sadly our appetizer was extremely cold and had to be returned, and then it took longer than expected to get a replacement. This in turn delayed our main course delivery. We had to ask for things to be removed from the table , including menus, to make space for what was a very good meal. Sadly the lack of an experienced wait staff degraded the dining experience. The pleasantness of our ‘very green’ waitress made up for the overall poor supporting wait staff responsiveness.

    Have been here several times before. Food is generally good. Service is OK. One thing I noticed is that the servers appear somewhat "unprofessional", sort of like they had just come in off the street. it would be a good idea to have some sort of dress code for the servers to amek them appear a little more professional. Does not have to be anything fancy - black pants and a shirt perhaps provided by the establishment.

    The Bavarian Inn RestaurantResponded on August 2, 2019Dear Norm, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent experience with us! We appreciate your feedback. We have a rather loose dress code for our staff for a number of reasons - the biggest being that I like to see our staff comfortable and confident in what they are wearing. We find this way our servers are able to truly be themselves with our guests and provide the personal touches of service we strive for. We do appreciate your feedback Sincerely, Shannon, Assistant Manager
