We had a great time at FireLake, with a more accurate score being 4.5. The ambiance was great, our server was thoughtful and attentive, but not overbearing, and the food was quite solid. Everything was fresh and tasty, with the farm to table functionality really elevating things. My burger wasn’t the best burger ever, but it was very good, even if the yolk wasn’t over easy as I had asked. And the sweet corn was delicious. The highlight though, was the mega pretzel. It is a two-pound monstrosity that stands as probably the best pretzel I’ve ever had. It’s a gimmick but it really works and the beer cheese and honey mustard that accompany it are both top notch. Things fall off a little with anything fried, as it all came off a little soggy and not quite to the level of everything else. The fries were boring and clearly from a bag and the fried fish had a flavorless batter that was just kind of mush after a minute or so. Also, the hostess, Fatima, was a little unpleasant, seeming actively startled by my family showing up and having a reservation and seeming hesitant to show us in. We were dressed down a little, but nothing bad. It was just not a nice way to start the meal. A little more of a hospitable approach would help. But overall, we will definitely come back. They mad the birthday celebration we had something special and the food really was above the norm. Just don’t get anything fried and you’ll be satisfied!

Came in for lunch Saturday and was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. Ordered a burger, fries, and a coke, and it all came out to about $20 before tip. Was not crowded and was well-catered towards the solo diner as it is in the Aqua hotel so there are lots of travelers. Burger was cooked perfectly to my preference and service was fast – received the food about 10 minutes after ordering. One additional plus I don’t get to mention often is that I noticed that my clothes didn’t stink of grease or other pungent food smells after leaving, which is typically what happens at other restaurants. I enjoyed my visit and will be back soon!

This place is inside The Radisson Hotel. The food was fresh and hot off the grill. The beer-battered cheese curds were big cheesy and crunchy. The chicken wings had a hint of smoke covered in a sweet and tangy sauce. The salmon over a bed of quinoa, arugula, and fennel.

From day 1 to day 4 our breakfast always something surprising and always in huge portion. Friendly staff who always look after us. Always table for two and a half and half coffee for my boss

Only the onion rings were good. The beet salad was okay. The chicken club with avocado came without the avocado and was not very good. When we were done eating the manager had the audacity to bring us an avocado on the plate. The cheese board had American and salami. The chef sent out the entree before the appetizer. We had to give the appetizer away to another table since we weren’t hungry anymore for it. The management made our server cry. Their cocktails are made with syrup and not fruit. Will never go there again.

Food was delicious and very well seasoned. Waiter was funny and worked hard to make sure everyone sitting was happy. Not only was the food well seasoned but it was cooked to everyone’s desire perfectly.

The cheese curds were incredible! The chicken pot pie was very good though super decadent. I came with a large group, and all of the other food (burger, flabreads) seemed fresh and well executed. We appreciated the friendly service, as well. The one challenge was the acoustics–the restaurant got a bit loud. Overall, an excellent choice for an in-hotel meal.

The grilled chicken sandwich that I ordered off the menu was SO good that I came back for lunch two days later and ordered the exact same thing!

The food didn’t really have much flavour. The service was quick and attentive, but food quality was disappointing. A few of the whiskey drinks were not available which also added to the poor rating.

I took a group of 8 people here. Food was very basic. Terrible value for money even given the prime location. I realized later that evening that they had auto-grat checks. Meaning I tipped over 40%. There was zero indication from the staff or signs related to this policy. I gave the restaurant several weeks to remedy, called, let full cheque information, went through their contact us form on the website and still nothing. I will never eat here again and I’m going to make sure everyone at the conferences I’m at knows this place is terrible.
