Reviews for Wainwright Hotel at Heritage Park in Calgary, AB
My family enjoyed the entire park very much, but this place pretty much ruined our experience today. When we were at the... restaurant, we were seated at the very front table right by the entrance. We asked for another table but were immediatelyrefused by the hostess (wouldn?t name her here) saying that there were no other tables available. But there were numbers ofempty tables and other people came in (we knew they didn?t have reservations since we could hear the conversation being right bythe entrance) were seated at the tables inside. I also noticed that a family who sat near us asked to be moved to another tableand they were moved to the desired table right away. Umm, didn't she just tell us that there were no tables available?? So, Iasked my server very politely if she could move us to a different table. She said she would check with the hostess, then shecame back and said that we would have to wait for 20-30mins if we wanted to be seated at a different table. I was a bit confusedbecause there were NUMBERS of empty tables and people were being seated as they walked in, but we couldn?t be moved. Our server,then, talked to another server who could eventually help us move to another table. Not a pleasant experience. During our stay,we couldn?t help noticing that people were just being seated where they desired and NOT ONE guest was seated at the table wewere initially seated at. I am not sure what it was about. I really don?t like taking this type of unpleasant experiencepersonally but also couldn?t help noticing that we were the only non-Caucasian people there and were the only people seated atthe table right by the entrance. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Well, that had me thinking back when we first walked in, thehostess didn?t greet us with a smile like she did with other guests. Additionally, as my server was trying to resolve theseating situation, the hostess didn?t seem to want to be involved in person as she passed by us several times but show Read more
Waited quite long for the meal. Meals came old not very warm. Taste was good and price was reasonable.
Gourmet and ghouls. Did not scan QR code or ask for ID. Very disappointing that public health rules are not being followed ... Food was a disaster. Gnocchi was like rubber. Chicken was dried out. Will never eat there again. So disgusting. For $80 Ithought it would be edible. Tour guide was lacking and boring. January 2022. I still have not spoken with anyone. I haveleft messages. Nobody answers the phone. They offered no remedy They don?t care that the food was disgusting and they didn?tfollow public health orders. I will NEVER go back. Read more
Beautiful interiors, Great service and Good food! Went in for lunch during a visit to the park and every other cafe was packed... in the Historical park. Great service- super friendly and quick! Emma and Nic were great and took good care of us. Food is goodand quite filling. Bread pudding was great! Restrooms are also well maintained and clean. Read more
The price for the brunch is reasonable, but the food lacks quality. A fly was flying around our table, not a good sign. The... food was fatty and sweety, the kind that makes you feel full soon. Everything had just a regular taste, nothing delicious. Read more
Good food, good service and great ambiance. I think it?s cool to enjoy a great meal in a historic hotel in Heritage Park. The... food was delicious. No one should expect a gourmet meal but for the experience being in the park and the prices are reasonableit was good. The restaurant is clean and well lit as well as the washroom. Read more
Absolutely stunning dining room, walls of bright windows and antique chairs, fresh linens and friendly staff. My only complaint... is the disallowing of strollers. We disrupted several diner?s enjoyment with a screaming infant and nowhere to put him down. Offpeak hours when there?s ample room they should be allowed. Read more
I was disappointed. Although the staff and atmosphere was wonderful the food was not. The tacos were so dry and spicy I would... not recommend them without a warning. The angus burger was not a homemade delicious patty it was a burnt dry premade one. I?mtalking black and charred. I think it could be such a place to offer amazing home cooked type meals like pot roast or meatloafand mashed spuds, Turkey and gravy?if I could suggest anything to eat there I would recommend the fish and chips. I think theycould do better here! Read more
