   Our sever, Chris, was a lovely fellow. Very attentive and fun. Also witnesses the team handling an unreasonable guest at the table next to us - they did an expert job in trying to appease someone who was unappeasable - kudos! Great non-alcoholic menu. Gnocchi was great - maybe add another vegetarian option.

   This was not my first dining experience at Chairman’s, but was definitely my last. From the snooty and dismissive greeting to the seating at an undressed table (no setting, napkins, cutlery) it was evident this was an off night. The server was eager to get us started with drinks and then rushed to take our order without the traditional display of their beef cut offerings. We ordered appetizers and cocktails right away and the entree within 15 minutes after. This was a celebration dinner for my daughter’s University convocation and we rushed in from Lethbridge to make our dinner reservation booked for 7:30. We did our part. As stated on the reservation, my daughter is vegetarian and has a dairy intolerance. A feeble attempt to explain her options was offered (no one would want based on how it was described). We felt unwelcome. I usually order the same thing each time (petite filet), my son the Bison filet, my daughter - mashed potato’s and broccoli with a lettuce salad to start. We waited more than an hour for our entrees with the explanation that “the kitchen is really backed up tonight”. My adult kids were indifferent with their meals and mine was terrible. I ordered medium and it came well and hard to cut. The brocolli over steamed, the sauce was so salted it was inedible and the tenderloin had grissel. That’s when my meal ended. The waiter was informed. The manager went to someone else’s table to discuss the problem with our experience. When she correctly came to ours, the response was “sorry, the kitchen is really backed up tonight”. The the waiter came back to ask if we wanted dessert “no thanks we’re done, just the bill”. When the $240 bill came my meal was removed and they did not charge for my daughters cocktail (as a congratulations). That’s all. After tip, this was an almost $300 poor choice for the event. The experience was so disappointing- I apologized to my kids. We left (finally) at 9:40. Too bad. But never again Chairman’s.

   We went here for our 33 anniversary, it was nice, a bit overpriced but the food was good. It would have been good to be able to have the lake seating as requested (there was a couple open for a long time after we arrived) Steaks were a bit overdone but the taste was good.

    This is the second time in a row that one of our three orders had a gristley steak. In neither instance did the person who got the bad steak send it back.. not really wanting to cause a scene. It was truly disappointing yesterday.. as we had raved about this restaurant and it was my niece's first visit on our recommendation. When the steaks are good they are fanatasic... but surely disappointing when they are bad.. didnt know there was a problem until I talked to my sister today.

    We went to Chairman's for the first time to celebrate my son's 22nd birthday and his girlfriend's graduation. There were 6 of us and we had a lovely round table in the center of the room with a nice view of the lake. We ordered drinks and they were priced from $9 (Gin & tonic) to $27 (a 6 oz glass of cab sauv wine). My husband ordered an IPA beer, but unfortunately, they were out of stock. To start, my husband ordered the Hamachi Crudo for $23 and it was good but a small portion. I ordered 3 plates of Chairman's Cheese Toast (2 per order) for $10 each, and they were very good. Our meals were all fairly good and the best deal is to order the Signature Dishes which come with a protein, starch, vegetable and sauce. Otherwise, if you order from the Chairman's Cuts, they come with the protein and one side. One of our guests ordered the Chicken Supreme from the Signature Dishes and for $35, was definitely the best value. My husband and myself shared the 36 oz Bone-in Smoked Ribeye for two which came with two signature sides (we chose the Potato Rosti and the Broccolini). This meal was $150, takes an hour to cook and the steak really wasn't all that special. Not for that price. The sides were delicious, however. We ordered the Hennessey Peppercorn Jus which was $7 and absolutely not worth it. It was a very small portion and wasn't really that flavourful. Our server forgot to bring the Jus so we had to remind her. Because we were celebrating a birthday, I thought my son might get a complimentary dessert but that was not offered. We were very disappointed especially considering we had spent $748 by that point! With a 20% tip, our bill came to $898.00 and we won't be back. We've been to other steakhouses (especially the outstanding one in Longview) where the food is fabulous and the prices are much more reasonable in terms of the food and beverages.

    Confusing dress code. My wife had a cap on but was asked to remove the hat in the dining area whereas the lady across from us had uncovered tattoos of snakes and other designs on 80% of her body but wasn't ask to cover it up. I would have thought exposed tattoos would have been a bigger issue than caps but I guessed wrong.

    It was excellent all the way around. The view was very nice and suited the ambience. The Hamachi appetizer was light and refreshing for the summer. The beef tenderloin, halibut, and scallops were cooked to perfection.

    My girlfriend and I came in for our five year anniversary and had an amazing time! Our server Michael was very friendly and personable and guided us through the menu while accommodating my girlfriends gluten allergy. The food was incredible as well! We shared the 18oz ribeye, chairman fries, brussel sprouts and mushrooms and all of it was delicious! Thank you again, we will definitely be back!

    I am a frequent patron, anytime I have clients in from out of town I take them here as it checks a lot of boxes. I typically give it a full 5 stars across the board however, last night I was a little disappointed it the steak I ordered. Typically, the fillet is 5 star but last night I had to give it only a 4 star rating, both quality of beef and cook where off the normal. It won't keep me from returning as I understand every once in a while things are never perfect.
