Went for Valentine's Day dinner, and the food was definitely good but both the entree and dessert were missing ingredients from the menu with no mention of it until after it was already at the table. For the price point just kind of figured there would have been more accuracy

We used to love Westlake Grill. We even got engaged there last year. We went for an early Valentines date night, on Saturday. My hubby's steak was absolutely disgusting. 3/4 was fat. Mine was ok, but not even close to worth the money. We were given a $30 gift card, when I complained. His meal was $80. We will definitely be choosing a different date night spot, for the future. Can't believe the difference in quality, from last year until now.

We have stopped here many times as it's a half way spot to meet with family. We've always been pleased with the food and service. It's a quiet cosy spot for a visit. In the summer if we have time we add a walk through the connecting trails.

We were a little apprehensive bring three children into Westlake Grill, knowing its a 5 star restaurant with a romantic vibe, but the staff were amazing with our girls and the quality of food wasn’t lost on the kids. We were all blown away with each course that was placed in front of us. From presentation to taste and service. All above and beyond. We have highly recommended Westlake to anyone asking for great food, atmosphere and service.

This in our minds is Red Deers hidden treasure. If you want romance,if you want amazing food, if you want impeccable service. If you want ambiance this the place and the sad part was on a Friday night it was only 20% full. Tell your fiends about this place I know we are telling ours

Saturday afternoon around 2 pm....not another group to be found in the restaurant. Was seated promptly, but I was able to hit the washroom and answer 3 emails before the waitress came to even introduce herself. Order just water and was ready to order food as well. Ordered a salad, and she said thats it?" Ummmm, yeah, was I supposed to be ordering more?Meal came quick enough, but she didn't refill my water and then disappeared for the next hour...not kidding. Parched from lack of water, looking around with our plates on the table wondering if anyone worked here anymore, she finally came. Took plates and asked if we wanted dessert. I said just the bills, please, and she was quick with them. Now, this is the weird part...I paid and left no tip, neither did my friend. She asked if I was ok, ahhh yeah, I just wanted to leave after being here for 2 hours to have no water and a salad!! Then I asked if she did something wrong, so I told her... we had no service, like none. She said she got busy, and I assumed the downstairs got busy, but nope. Not a single soul down there as we walked out. She 100% forgot about us. Will not return for that reason...and my friend had goodish meal but bad service trumped that. On top of that, they play horrendously loud country music, like obnoxious and hard to have conversations.Zero stars if I could for atmosphere, service, and 2 stars for the $17 salad made with 1% cranberries and 1% feta/pear and 98% lettuce. Bravo on the markup ?*edit for the response of Manager.Nice to be blaming bad service on a few places I have reviewed on my account on me, the customer, adding that I should seek out management on site with the problem? Im the trend? How about the trend is that some restaurants have bad service and high prices on low quality food!! I shouldn't have to go looking for management after being ignored by your staff. The gentleman working behind the bar and the lady at the front hostess desk were both miserable looking to us as we headed out. We just wanted to leave a bad place behind us and then a bad review because people deserve to know. That's why google reviews exist. Try to better next time, and not blame the customer. The trend according to some of your reviews is bad food and poor service... the good reviews are the lucky ones. Oh, and incredibly shamless advertising your change of decor on my review and that people should come in.I expect good service, quality food for the high price of food these days, and to not be forced to eat ice cubes because my friend and I were dying of thirst.

We've been here many times before but this experience was truly terrible. This restaurant is absolutely beautiful but the service, menus and food needs attention.A friend and I booked a reservation for brunch. Our server was attentive at first however we took a while to order and the service went downhill from there.At the beginning, we received the brunch menu. There is only 4 options available and none of them are allergen friendly.We then asked the server for a lunch menu, which we had to request more than once to get. When it did finally come we found it totally overwhelming. The menu lists a bunch of ingredients for each item without clearly identifying what the item actually is (same for the brunch). One of the items was an omelette that didn't even mention eggs. We had to ask the server to clarify what it was. The menu would be much better if it was clearly defined.I am not able to eat eggs so I asked if the pancakes had eggs or if I could get them made without. The server acted appalled that I would suggest they don't make the pancakes from scratch. They weren't able to accommodate me for the pancakes. Unfortunately all other items on the breakfast menu had eggs. I then asked about the burger and was told its made fresh and has eggs as a binder for the meat, they couldn't accommodate this either (or the server wasn't willing to try). I then asked about the French onion soup, which was listed on the menu but I was told this was a special and it wasn't available today. I pretty much gave up at this point. The server never tried to offer any sort of solution. It was truly disappointing.I know allergens can be difficult and I try to be super flexible when I go out to eat but this was just terrible. I could have had a 40 or 50 dollar steak for brunch but that wasn't something I wanted at 11am. I have been here many times before and have never had a problem finding something to eat. So this place has changed and not for the better....After all of this, we were asked to pay so the server could leave. I don't mind paying so a server can go off shift but it'd be nice if it was done in a friendly and professional manner. We were treated as of we had worn out our welcome.It's too bad to see such a historical place go this way, especially when Red Deer has few high end dining experiences. Sadly, I don't see a situation in which I would return again.Dietary restrictions: Limited options for those with allergies.

Wonderful halfway spot to meet a friend from Edmonton for brunch or just to come for a day trip. The restaurant is cozy with nice views of the park outside, the food is very good and the portions are extremely generous. The bonus is that the Heritage Ranch is a lovely place to go for a walk after eating!
