Was User at Explorer's Lounge a mag?
We were staying at the Lake Louise Inn and were tired and did not want to go far (not many options in Lake Louise) and so my sister and I thought that we would try this place in the Lake Louise Inn. We had Bison burgers and a side salad and it was fine. Nice atmosphere and nice service. It was wings night but I thought I can get wings back home. View all feedback.
What User dislikes about Explorer's Lounge:
I don't really like writing bad reviews but this place was awful. We all thought we were getting pranked. The service was horrible. My friend ordered a poutine and for 11$ he got half a bowl of fries with 6 cheese curds and half a scoop of gravy. The hot and honey wings were so dry We could barley bite into them. The bison burger had to be soaked in gravy to be eatable. If your going to dine here I wouldn't expect to... View all feedback.
That was great tonight. I ordered the wagyu burger $30 plus poutine fries on the side $8. the tuna sashimi honest, but the part was very small for $22. but the service was fast and nice enough. came here in the night before also (on the premises restaurant for lake louise inn) and got the salmon with sweet, garnel and lobster risotto. also calamari was good. the risotto had a few hard bites, but the rest of the meal was excellent. service on Tuesday night was crazy with only 1 server and long waiting times, but I understand time is hard.
We have eaten an ice-cream here and of its kind. it was great. server were helpful and funny. social distancing does not make the best atmosphere, but it was more than good.
Eating was great considering that there are not so many possibilities in the opposite. the staff was very friendly. the steak twice ordered, very well done.
The lounge has a casual atmosphere and is perfect for enjoying drinks after skiing or grabbing a laid-back dinner. The server was well-informed about celiac disease and was able to advise me on which menu items could be prepared gluten-free, even confirming with the kitchen. The server provided excellent service. Although the menu does not indicate gluten-free options, you can speak with the server for assistance. The gluten-free dishes were clearly marked when served. Overall, the dining experience was enjoyable.
I was disappointed with the slow service at the restaurant. Our waiter was friendly, but seemed overwhelmed by the large crowd. The food, especially the impossible burger I ordered, was not good. It was dry and too salty, leaving me wondering how they could get such a simple dish wrong. In general, the experience was expensive and mediocre.
