All around not a bad spot, seems to be more suited to the older croud. The beef dip was different, good but different. Beef dip had the ojus already mixed with the beef, and the beef could have been more tender but flavour was good.

I always remembered it as being a nicer restaurant, although it’s been years since I’ve been.
I had the chicken cordon bleu (pictured) which was tasty but not plated very nicely. Potatoes lacked flavour and I feel like there could have been more veg.
Wasn’t impressed by a few things: - The first thing I noticed walking through the door was the smell of cheap cleaning products - Server wearing yoga pants and t-shirt, hair not tied back - unprofessional look from the moment we entered. Maybe try dress pants, a polishable shoe, and an appropriate top? Let’s not forget that the average person sheds 100 or so hairs a day. Tie it back. - Music was staticky and kept cutting out into commercials. Pay a couple bucks for Spotify and you’ll have thousands of suitable playlists that don’t cut to commercials - Our food (chicken and a burger) took almost 40 minutes to come even though the restaurant was not busy (3 tables) - My friend ordered burger and a soup (which came on a checkered diner style paper) - the soup (Potato Parmesan) was terrible. Had absolutely nothing in it, no taste, and was the consistency of milk. It was confusing actually. Even if you blended a potato soup to oblivion, it would not be as thin as Gumby on Ozempic. - Server did not check to see how food was, so after we finished eating and she came by several minutes later to clear plates and bring the bill, my friend mentioned the soup and the server did offer a different side, but it had been too long and we had to get going. No discount or anything towards a future visit - Ketchups, dirty half full salt and peppers, and diner style cutlery roll ups on every table diminished the atmosphere. - To add to last comment - don’t get me wrong I love a good diner, cafe or truck stop, but this place (I didn’t think?) was going for that. I’m not sure what they’re going for tbh. It’s like it used to be something else and new management didn’t uphold those standards? That’s my best guess. It lacks identity. I would not know how to describe it to another person.
All in all, I might return but I now know that it’s far from a higher end restaurant. I’ll give them this - the prices are reasonable. But slooooooow service, at least from the ones working when I was there.

I wasn't impressed with the service or the food here. The waitress that served us was not nice at all and was slow. The food was sub-par as well. I dont recommend this place if you want to have a good dining experience.

The pizza crust was uncooked and doughy. As well, it was lacking pizza sauce very badly. Overall - not great. Service was good, but the food needs a lot of work. Everyone at my table agreed that the food wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.

Came in to grab a quick to-go pizza. The gentleman that served me was polite and even made our pizza special by adding bacon at no charge. The pizza was HUGE and loaded with topping. It was delicious and we will definitely come back.

A friend had suggested this Awesome (Local) family Restaurant and I was truly impressed by the ambience, excellent service, delicious food and a lovely bar. Being an International Chef myself for almost 20 years, I do recommend this hidden gem in Camrose to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a homely atmosphere, served with fresh and local ingredients…….will be back soon……
Juicy and flavorful, every bite was a treat!” The customer service was exceptional

Fantastic service and such delicious food for our family get together. (Wish I had taken a photo of my meal). The chef and cooks took great care in the preparation of the food, even offering us complementary salad as we were some of the first customers of the day so it was a small wait for our food (we wanted to visit anyway, and the wait was not too long). My starter was a cup of tomato soup that had a wonderful savoury complex flavour. The entree charbroiled salmon had crispy skin and melt in your mouth texture. Fries toothsome and crisp. A varied mix of nicely seasoned veggies on the side. Finished off with coffee and cream, very smooth, not bitter, perfect temperature, in these beautiful generous cups. All my relatives similarly praised their meals, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Calm atmosphere, elegant yet cosy decor, and not noisy so we could all visit easily. Thanks Monte Carlo! Will be back 😊

We had higher expectations for this restaurant. Went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This is a more casual restaurant with a really huge menu. The service was great.
All around not a bad spot, seems to be more suited to the older croud. The beef dip was different, good but different. Beef dip had the ojus already mixed with the beef, and the beef could have been more tender but flavour was good.
