   Was alright. Wanted substitute a different menu salad (less expensive) on the price fix offer and was told they could not do it☹️

   Food very good and well presented. Wait staff is attentive to only those they perceive as moneyed. Looks can be deceiving.

   Booked a couple months in advance for 6. Ended up with a table near the front, wedged in between 3 other large groups. Service was subpar, wait and service staff seems to have little experience. When we wanted to pay it took 3 attempts to put proper items on the 3 separate bills - Overall, an obvious lack of attention to our table and dining experience. There are better places to go within the Blue Mountain Village.

   Made a big mistake ordering their 10 oz rib steak for $67 . The meat was thin and chewy like a Loblaws steak not what you would expect for the price. The accompanying mashed potatoes were bland and tasteless. Another guest at the table made the same mistake and had ordered the same thing and agreed with me . Ambience is terrific , noise level was fine and the service friendly and helpful. The downside was the food was overpriced and poor quality for the money. Stick to the pizzas and burgers.

   I do not recommend this restaurant. The menu looks fabulous, which is why I gave it a second chance but once again, I’m very disappointed.. During my first visit, I had the calamari with the brown butter, roasted potatoes and vegetables. The bowl was floating in butter and had no flavor. Others in our party also were disappointed with their meals. I gave the restaurant a second chance because the menu does look fabulous. However, once again, we were all disappointed and left the majority of the meal on our plate without wanting to take the left overs. The service was horrible. Initially, when we were seated our drink orders were taken and we were provided with these drinks however, there was no follow up from any server about additional refills. When I flagged down a server and requested a glass of red wine it never came nor was water when we requested it. We and went through our entire meal without a beverage. No one asked if we were enjoying our meal despite the fact that we were not eating. We did not request a takeout bag I needed to flag down a server for the bill. When paying the server asked how things were but I told him at that point it was too late to ask as we were done and voiced my concern. We waited for over 40 minutes for our actual meal, no beverages and no follow up. I did tip only because I know the hostess and the dishwashers get tipped out. This was a very disappointing and expensive experience once again. We will not be back.

   The food is ok, not bad; but it is not very good. The menu is really confused, a mixture of cuisines and influences from around the world, often in the same dish. I had the half roasted chicken; it was perfectly golden brown, but the skin was flaccid and fatty. Weird! There seems to be a problem with management. We waited a while for our table; although we had a reservation and there were many free tables. The dishes also came out in an inappropriate order; the waitress addressed this, but it should never have been an issue. The food options at Blue Mountain and Collingwood are very disappointing. This place is ok, in a nice environment; but still underwhelming.

   Good food and beautiful environment! We had an amazing dinner (family of four). Not sure if our server was new that day but the service was the only negative of the evening.
