    The food was very good . My complaint was the drink, I ordered a mammas lemonade, which was Sucky sweet and I returned it, telling the waitress to bring me lemonade. She brought me sparkling water with vodka, which had little flavour. I will return for the food and be careful on ordering a drink again, as the bartender isn’t very keen

    Had a group of children the staff were patient and attentive. We mixed up how we read the menu and I was thankful for the staff for getting it right! They had everything they needed and it was a great experience. Ty

    Great service at Montana’s Nanaimo. We were 5 minutes late for our reservation, but they kept our table and sat us immediately. Very efficient and friendly waitress, food was all served together for the 6 of us and everyone enjoyed it. Food was delicious.

    In a restaurant you do not expect a medical show to be playing while trying to eat. We had to ask our server to please change the channel as us and 2 other tables were disgusted with the tv. My salad came with barely any sauce and wilted romaine.

    Great service but fairly bland and generic food from a flavor perspective.

    The only reason there isn’t a full 5 star rating for service is because we never saw our waitress after the food was dropped off. So no drink refills and no opportunity to ask for more ribs unless we were to get up from the table and search for her. It was fairly quiet and no other servers walked by the area except once when we asked her for a water for our son. That said…our server was friendly and otherwise very good. I actually suspect she went on break and no one that covered for her checked on us.

    Food was very good! One of our drinks had to be sent back but was dealt with very quickly and with complete understanding of what the problem was. Our server? We could not have gotten a better server. She was happy to see us, looked after ever detail big or small, efficiently. She made us feel like we want to come back more often. And we definitely will. Great experience.
