The Dam Restaurant & Bar

We love this home style and friendly atmosphere. Great food and service!

Yesterday we went for restaurant week. We had 6:00 reservations.. they didn't seat us untill 6:30.. we ordered drinks and our 3 course meal immediately. It took a untill 7:05 to get our first course and our drinks came after that! Our second course arrived around 8:00 which they tried to serve it to 2 different tables before they figured out it was ours. The meals were cold when we got them. The pasta was a hard clump of noodles. The steak although cold was very good and the appetizers were delicious especially the birria tacos! It was 3 hour experience that should have taken an hour so so. The people that worked there were very pleasant but the service was unacceptable.

In my quest to find the perfect Nachos I have found them at this establishment! Cozy restaurant with a truly kootenay feel. We ordered a half Nacho and when it came out we thought they made a mistake and gave us a full order. That wasn't the case, the half order is ridiculously large I can't even imagine how big the full order would be. Well worth the money in this tight economy. Staff is also awesome to boot!

Much better everything over the last few months. The wings are at least twice (or more) the size as they used to be and are now consistantly cooked perfectly. Their poutine is very good for pub style poutine and, as seen in the attached photo, are not lacking on the cheese curds. The staff are, and allways have been amazing as is the ambience, the patrons, and most importantly, the beer!

Really like the atmosphere of this place. Service was very good too.

Had the baked beans and they were mostly dry. Wasn't a huge fan. Rest of the food was very good

Edit: they were the roasted beans with chili sauce

Emily was amazing. She recommended the special "Tacos" and omg they were spectacular. So much flavor. We loved them so much we came back the next night & ordered them again. We got Emily again and she is such an amazing lady. She was so hospitable and fun. We asked Emily what the secret was to these tacos and to thank the chef. She did and chef came out and explained how to make them. What a great guy he was. Where else would you get this service. Your team rocks.

Had takeaway! fries where wet! Never again!

Sadly weren't able to visit as they didn't open till 3 on the Friday of the long weekend.

What great delicious food and wonderful welcoming staff. It’s our favourite spot to go to relax and get pampered with amazing food and service after an intense week. Rob has the gift of making innovative specials every weekend. Definitely a must stop this summer if you are in the Kootenays. Great patio and takeout drive through.
