What Manley Ryan likes about Picante Cafe:
I seriously underestimated the portion size. My wife and I would just have split a record and still be full. The food needs a while to be served, but you can't rush to perfection. Plating is beautiful, eating tastes amazing. Service: Dine in Meal Type: Dinner Price per person: CA$30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5. View all feedback. What Paul Johansing doesn't like about Picante Cafe:
Disappointing.Dry meat balls, chewy over cooked ribeye.The Italian bruschetta was fine and the potatoes were passable.I've had better chocolate cake from a grocery store.Drinks and service brought this to 3/5 I guess.I'll come back and try something different next time. View all feedback.

read moreThe restaurant on the lake offers a stunning view, but the low ceilings can make it noisy during busy times. Some patrons have had average meals with overcooked meat, while others have experienced delicious food and exceptional service. The portion sizes are generous, and the desserts are a must-try. Overall, the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable, with friendly and helpful staff. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and the portion sizes. Some have found the restaurant's menu to be a bit fancier than expected for a cafe setting, but the experience was still pleasant. Reservations are recommended due to the popularity of the establishment.
