"I love going to the Banff Springs for High Tea, and this time they were able to accommodate our request for a window seat and my gluten-sensitivity. All of the food was excellent. I wasn't super crazy about the devilled ham sandwich but I highly enjoyed everything else, and I always love the scone, cream and preserves. While I absolutely love Darjeeling tea, I find their particular selection a bit weak. I've had Darjeeling tea all over Europe and this one just tastes weak, even if you continuously steep it. I've had it twice and both times it was just, meh. I do think they should consider allowing take out boxes for anything you don't consume. They kinda force you into a food coma, as you've paid $90 for this tower of food but you're forced to eat it all there. I also think that a warm up on the tea should be available. You only get one pot of tea and once it's cold, that's pretty much it; either drink it cold or leave it there. Our waitress was nice, though I wish she had been a bit more attentive. The wait for our tower seemed a bit lengthy, which I don't blame her for. She just didn't check on us that much. I'd also recommend a good sweep down of the chairs before seating the next guest. We sat in the green chairs next to the window and my chair had hair on it and a random piece of popcorn. There was also a dead bee in the window. I swept the popcorn off but then I had to ask a server walking by to pick the popcorn up off the floor. A number of servers just walked by the popcorn on the floor, as if it wasn't noticeable. They don't serve popcorn at high tea, just saying. All that said, I would definitely go back when another special occasion calls for it."

"This was a very unsatisfying meal. Here is I reserved the table more than a week in advance. But I could not reserve for a Thursday at and instead, had to reserve for I reserved online. The restaurant called me to confirm my reservation days before the meal. I confirmed the reservation then. I then received a confirmation request via email days before the meal. I confirmed the reservation via email. Then, I received another telephone call on the day of the meal asking me to confirm once again. I found the requirement for separate confirmations for my reservation was very intrusive and I reserved asking for seating in the dining room and NOT the bar area. When we arrived a party of people, about minutes before our scheduled reservation time, we were told that our table was not yet ready and were asked to wait in the bar area. We were asked if all of our party was over the age of to which I responded yes. After waiting for more than minutes after our expected reservation time, with nobody letting us know about our seating time, I asked when we could expect our table to be ready. I was then told that they would try and find us a place to sit. A table was the made ready in the Bar area and we were seated approximately minutes after our reservation The noise from the DJ and music was so loud that it made the dining experience terrible, as we were unable to speak with each other at our table, and the music was repetitive crappy dance pop, and there was nobody One of our group received a salad with a human hair in it. When this was pointed out, the server quickly removed the bowl and returned with a replacement, and our bill was credited with from our total.These problems ruined the experience for our group. Although, the food and service were very good, this will be the last time we will visit your establishment. We will NOT recommend BB to anyone.Sincerely,Alex"

"Unless you're a bonafide member of the aristocracy you will not be able to afford frequenting Rundles on a regular basis -- but for a special treat/occasion, it's an exceptional dining experience we all deserve now and then. Go in with your eyes open; check the table d'hôte menu online to ensure their options appeal to you, and then forget about the price. All my choices (smoked trout app; rib steak main; assorted cheese dessert) were absolutely delicious and reasonably portioned, as were my wife's (seasonal corn soup; lamb; grilled peach dessert). Service was professional and attentive (e.g., excuse yourself to the restroom and return to find your seat pillow has been fluffed while you were away). Decor is decidedly post-modern cool which lends itself to the quiet, elegant atmosphere. My only beef was getting charged $6 extra for the cappuccino at the end of a meal which, IMO, should come included in the $125 prix fixe. C'mon, man... gimme a break! With one cocktail each and a bottle of one of the less expensive wines on their eclectic list, my wife and I exited poorer by $450 after tip. That's fine: you get what you pay for. It was all truly great, but I have had modestly better meals and service for less money. That said, Rundles offers a unique and rare experience (at least within southwestern Ontario) that you should try to visit before they close shop or pass on to new ownership later this year as the proprietor is retiring. If/when they close their doors, Stratford will have lost a treasure."

"I frequent Olive Garden, pretty regular. I have one right around the corner from where I live, but I don't go there. I travel to go to the one near Parma town, which is where I lived for 20 years. They always have parking. They always have plenty of staff the place is always neat and tidy, except for that darn front door that they continue not to fix so us people over 40 can open it easier and get inside. This is a pretty good place to dine. I've been here probably six or eight times in the last 10 months and I don't review every time I go, but I went here again by accident since red lobster up the street had just opened and they couldn't see me because they had to wait for a table to dry, really?? So went here got seated in the farthest table in the farthest corner, which I thought was hysterically funny Maybe I didn't fit their decor cause I had a T-shirt on today it was 70° out. They change the menu again and unfortunately they haven't changed the prices on their websites because everything was much more expensive on these this menu than it was on the websites I ordered chicken margarite not knowing what that was but I had spaghetti twice yesterday, so I don't know why I went to a spaghetti place, but I did, the chicken margarita came with broccoli and ended soup bowl so I had a couple of bowls of soup and I ate the broccoli and unfortunately the chicken was not cooked thoroughly so I set it aside and the server made note and told the manager who is over in no timewho got me new chicken but no extra cost and I would've never asked for all that service, but boy did I get service today again never disappointed no matter how often"
