It was great. The seafood chowder was awesome and we both had the chicken and waffles. So good! Really juicy, so careful of you're on a date. While experience was great. The place had a nice vibe, what can I say?
My boyfriend and I have been coming to this restaurant ever since it had opened a few years back. We have always been a fan of the food, service, and restaurant! But we went on Valentine’s Day for dinner… we have been when they have been slow, busy, and everything in between.
But this night was different… I felt so sorry for our waitress, whom was pretty much taking all the orders of most of the tables, she was practically in tears before we had left. Mind you, this waitress has been there for almost the whole time of this restaurant being open and we have never had any problems with her or anyone at there. From what it looked like, the head chef, guy who was wearing a dark green gray hat, started to yell and cuss out staff during service! There were children dinning mind you, and you can see and hear everything. It completely brought down the whole energy of everyone’s experience. People were walking over to see what was happening. Plates and other pans were being thrown around as well.
Hostile work environment, I have never seen that take place there before. I felt so bad for all the staff effected by this man, I get working in a kitchen is stressful especially on a night like Valentine’s Day but that is no excuse for someone in a leader position to react and act that way towards his team, disgusting behavior. I hope the chef reads this and maybe takes some time to reflect from this.
Not only did this scene take place, the food which is usually great was not up to their usual quality. The seafood chowder, was a third of the size, quality was compromised by being greasy, less seafood than usual, way more potatoes as filler, and seemed it was a bit burnt. The color of the chowder was even different from the normal color (usually is a creamy white color but on that night it was this tan pinkish color.) The fish from the fish and chips was undercooked as well.
Normally, this place is great but I’m not impressed with the chef 🤷🏻♀️.

Our visit was quick, as we had to leave earlier than expected, but... We originally stopped by because we thought it was funny there was a restaurant called "The Smoking Trout", and I'm in a band called Leon Trout. Rather appropriate. So! The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable about daily specials, and kind. The atmosphere was comfortable, soft yellow lighting, the room wrapped in wooden benches, with ample seating for parties of 2 or more. The walls are decorated with assorted artworks, some of livestock and other animals, and some pieces were of a more abstract and creative sort. The bar is large and open; inviting. We ordered the poutine, as we had seen a picture of it here on Google, and we had to try it. We were NOT disappointed. Well cooked fries, laying in a bath of gravy, loaded with melty cheese curds, chopped bacon and scallions. My God. But again, we had to leave early, and they obliged our request, grabbed us a box and the check right away, and we were out of there. Anyway, we'll be back for more.

In town skiing and I have to say as an out of towner I was impressed. Food was excellent. Fresh seafood (really good calamari and sauce), Fresh tasty salad as well with medium rare steak cooked perfectly. We came at 7pm right as happy hour prices were ending and the server offered us happy hour price for our first drink regardless. Excellent service, ambiance and overall a great restaurant.

We took our family here for dinner recently. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. Except me. I ordered steak frites and was very disappointed. For the charge I expected a steak that I would not have to “chew” like rubber. The drinks were good and service was great. However, for the price we dished out it was way out of the ballpark.
