Upon checking in, host told us we did not have a reservation for level 2-fine dining (we did as I booked on open table). When shown the open table reservation again she said she would have to check with another host. Another male host approached us and said that our reservation has now been changed to level 2 but it was level one before, when that was not the case. They could have handled the situation better about the seating. Small portion sizes but food was good.

The only reason I rated food lower is because my husband asked for medium rare on his steak ($37) and it came back well done. We kinda hated to complain but at this price he did want a good steak. They did bring him a new one plus extra shrimp and veggies. Noise level would have been ok except the table beside us had a dirty old man and his wife that had too much to drink. ( I felt sorry for the waitress). But overall it was good.

I love going to the Water Tower Grill. All of the appetizers, entrees and desserts that I’ve tried have been delicious. The prices are at the higher end, but not higher (and probably lower) than similar restaurants in Lethbridge.

Our waitress explained the dinner special as Steak Neptune which we ordered. When our order was served it was Steak Oscar (shrimp instead of crab) Somewhat disappointing. When we asked about the mix-up she told us that the crab was gone. A dessert was offered which we appreciated.
Water Tower Grill & BarResponded 3 days ago
We apologize for the mix up and thank you for the feedback! If you like crab, we will soon be featuring a special Caesar cocktail that comes with it's very own crab claw as a garnish that is pretty tasty if we do say so ourselves :) We hope to see you again soon!

Food is excellent. The view is spectacular. The only complaint I have would be the air conditioning. Needed to keep your coat on and the cold air blows directly onto the food. So you better eat fast before your meal is cold. Other than that it’s a great place to eat.

I tried to go with my wife and one year old for Mother's day. We were seated and no one came over to us for 35 minutes. We informed the manager that we were leaving. The manager apologized. The restaurant was not overly busy and there was no excuse for the poor service we received. We decided to go to Moxies.
Water Tower Grill & BarResponded on May 11, 2022
Hi Tyler, We sincerely apologize for the miscommunication. Unfortunately there had been a misunderstanding between servers which lead to one thinking the other was taking care of the table. We really do apologize for the error, and we have made our servers aware of the incident so it does not happen again.

Slow Service, after being seated, it took 20 minutes to be greeted at our table. We were there for 2:10 and we only had main dishes. The swapped our order for a different dish without asking. the couldnt take credit cards They didnt offer the happy hour that was on their website Slow to get into and out of the restaurant due to one small elevator for guests and service staff.

Food was good but waited 1.5 hours for it! Service was terrible, and I had to ask for a discount because we waited so long. No manager walking around or service staff even remotely trying to do anything to appease the wait. And even though we got a discount- it was slight. Super disappointing considering the cost of the meals.

Waited an hour and 40 minutes and still no food. The table next to us was seated an hour after us and they had received their drinks, appetizers and mains all within an hour. Kitchen needs someone to track orders to ensure these wait times do not happen. Such a disappointing experience for such a cool looking restaurant.

Unfortunately, our visit for Mother's Day had a few things go sideways. We had a reservation, so were seated right away - that was a plus. We didn't have to wait long to order drinks, and our food; however, the wait for food was over 45 minutes long. Had we known this, we would have gone elsewhere, as our kids were extremely hungry by 1:30 when we finally received our order. The coleslaw with the junior fish and chips had no dressing, and was very dried out/seemed old. 2/3 pieces of fish were overcooked, and dried out to the point where my kids couldn't eat it. The adult meals were absolutely lovely though. We had very sporadic service throughout the dinner, and our server did not even bother to refill the kids' drinks, or to ask if we wanted them refilled. The worst part was at the end of the meal, when we were informed that the wifi was down, so we would have to wait or go to the ATM to take cash out. We opted to wait, and were told about 15 min later that the machines were up and running. Unfortunately, our server chose to visit multiple other tables to deliver their bills and explain the issue again before finally coming to us after another 10 minutes to say that they were back down again. Our entire lunch took us over 3 hours from start to finish, and we didn't even get an apology from our server. I was really disappointed, and this was such a great opportunity to showcase a local restaurant to my grandparents, who drove 5 hours to be with us for the weekend. They were very unimpressed overall. The only bright spot in our visit was the host at the front - Emilio. He was very articulate and professional, and did his very best to stay on top of things, and I think he bore the brunt of much frustration yesterday.

Had a 4 spot booked for mother’s day, there is a narrow menu, understandable because of the volume. We expected the few items on the menu to be done well, however we received food that was cold after waiting about 30-40 minutes to get it, and of course it was missing salsa (an ingredient listed on the menu it was suppose to have), we asked for some on the side and we’re charged $5. Ended up having it made “fresh”, was sub par at best for price to ratio. Drinks were all good, as a plus. Overall likely not to return.

Generally very good, a little disappointed in quantity, quality was very good, potato’s were supposed to be shredded but came cubed. Will go again

Thanks for the feedback! Our hashbrowns traditionally are prepared cubed-style–apologies for the confusion! We really look forward to seeing you again, thank you for your support :)

Meal was Great, service was great although alittle long in time. But then they were busy for a Saturday night. View was excellent with sitting alittle high could see farther. Would i recommend it... yes of course. Just remember prices have jumped, but is a great place for sit down dinning. Remember to book ahead for reservations

The meal was great. I ordered salon special was a bit over cooked and my date ordered chicken cordon bule. It was over cooked also. The chicken was dry.

The reservation online was easy to make we got the table that we wanted. But the appetizer was outstanding, both of our entrées were very good. The service was also very good and friendly. On the whole it was a great experience except for or after dinner tea. That was tepid at best the water had not been boiled at all. But I would go back definitely! And I recommend the warm chocolate cake or oh it was so good
