Golf outing with the boys and decided to have the shrimp tacos for lunch… bad mistake, way over priced for what you get, not even whole shrimp but shrimp pieces. Taste was just ok and the portion size was small. Will not order these again.

We stopped for a beer and wings after the round only to discover they had very few choices and did not even have Kokanee, a local favorite brewed in B.C, on the menu. We then tried to order wings but again they did not have...any? We ended up having some ribs that were tasty and some tuna that I would not recommend. We had two drinks and two appetizers, one which we did not finish, for $170.00. Ouch! Great view.More

Very surprised (unpleasantly) with his restaurant. A group of 7 of us came for dinner and only one person though there meal was even just okay. The rest of us were be very disappointed. The food quality was poor, the price was high and the...service was likewise poor. For example, I had the Waygu beef burger. It was over cooked (dry) and had very little flavour. I am suspicious that it was not Waygu or had been reheated. It was $22 and came with chips. To get French fries was an upcharge. With respect to service, my water glass (all I was drinking) was not refilled once and when someone in our group suggested that the numerous wasps getting into our food and drinks were indicative of a eat nearby, the server simply shrugged. Not a hope that I would ever eat here again or recommend it to anybody. The only meal that was passable was the salmon.More

We’ve enjoyed Happy Hours here before on the patio, but this year they don’t have one. We decided to have the wings, fries and some drinks for our own Happy Hour! Our waitress, Angela, was very efficient and so friendly. We just had a couple...appetizers, but they were very tasty. We’re coming back to the valley in spring, and we’ll definitely be back to Traders.More

After a three year absence we were excited to enjoy dinner at one of our favorite decks in the Rockies. While the view and service did not disappoint, the food quality has decreased significantly since our last visit. The food is over priced for what...is offered in both quality and quantity. This is very unfortunate as there is no better place to enjoy the valley views than this deck. I would rate the deck and service a 5 and the food a 2 at best.More

Ourselves and a visiting couple recently went to Traders at Eagle Ranch for dinner one evening. We were promptly seated, and noticed the restaurant was 2/3 full on this Saturday. The setting as viewed from our inside table was beautiful without a doubt, our guests...loved it, hard to beat it anywhere. As we were being seated, the staff let us know that Traders was in fact introducing a new menu. The new menu looked quite good, though not a huge amount of variety and a bit pricy (especially when it also doubles as an after golf round 19th hole?). Our service throughout was definitely pleasant and efficient. Our meals were delivered after a reasonable amount of time, the presentations of each were nice - grilled salmon (was ok), the grilled half chicken (both who got them found them a tad too over cooked to really enjoy), and the fish and chips (the battered fish was essentially left uneaten - over cooked and tough). Overall, we found the main course portion sizes were too small for the price. The appies we had to start - ribs and edamame were excellent, however. Will we go back..... probably, the setting on the deck in good weather is outstanding, not sure we’d order one of the higher end meals, maybe just stick with their appies or a sandwich/burger for now until the new menu offerings are fine tuned.More

I reviewed Traders in October of last year. As a disclaimer, I am a local and someone who runs two very busy businesses that has the opportunity to recommend places to my guests multiple times a day. Last October, I said I would wait until...this year - perhaps things have improved. The food was boring and the service wasn't great at all. So a few days ago, I had a rare opportunity to get out on my own and decided to give Trader's another try. Perhaps, because they close in the winter, they got some better staff and a better chef who isn't afraid of flavour. Unfortunately, the experience was humiliating. Before leaving, I checked the internet to double-check lunch hours - no mention of any special events. When I drove all the way in to Trader's (just shy of 20 mins for me), there was not one notice that there was a wedding, and I parked. There was no notice on the door, I went inside. There was the usual 'Please wait to be seated sign', right where one would expect it. ...and then I waited. ...and waited. ...and waited. ...and watched 4 servers nattering to themselves and chatting in the corner. More than once, they looked over at me, but I was dutifully ignored. I could clearly see there was a special event, in that there were tables close together and decorated, but again, nothing to indicate that Trader's was closed for any reason - no signs, decorations, notices, seating arrangements, head table - the usual things one would expect. I just assumed there was a large reservation for a group. I finally managed to peel one of the ladies away from their little chattery gathering and they asked if they could help me with something. I said yes, I'd love to have lunch. That's when they said, "Oh. You can't. There's a wedding here." I said that I saw that, but it doesn't say it's closed. So I asked if the patio is open. She looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "NO. We're CLOSED for a wedding." like she was talking to someone a tad simple. Fine. I get it. There's an invisible wedding that you only know about once you get inside and manage to get one of them to hold a conversation with you. Being condescending just convinced me that this place isn't worth my time, money, or the consideration of my guests at either of my businesses. I don't accept rudeness, and I won't subject my guests to that either. Trader's - you need to figure out what's going on. That's twice for me and three times for my business partner. There's something wrong there. Yes, it's a nice place and upscale and the view is outstanding. You have a great menu. The majority of your staff are fantastic. But I'm not alone here - your reviews are slipping, and I really wish Trader's lived up to it's potential. I love having lunch alone on the patio - it's a break from the craziness of business, and also where we love to have our business meetings. We'll find somewhere else, sorry.More

I've been to this restaurant a couple of years ago and had a positive experience. I dont usually leave reviews, but today's disappointment needs to be communicated to the powers that be to get them back on track. The cod was tasty but literally 3...cm by 10 cm. ridiculous portion. The Niçoise salad was a soggy vinegary mess- not like any nicoise we have ever had. The short rib sandwich was burnt totally black. Portions of all meals were terribly small and pricey. The wait staff and view however were excellent.More

The building and patio are still 20/10. However: Food: is meh and it's all fish and or mushrooms except for the burger or the pasta. The house salad is half mushrooms, the sandwiches are almost all mushrooms even if they say ribs. If it's not...mushroom it's fish. Even the poutine is mushrooms. With a fish allergy it was concerning how few dishes were left as choices. Gravy is one of the worst I've had in awhile. The only upside was the cute pickle jars they include on each plate this year. Staff: Smiley and cheery but didn't ask us if we wanted drinks. When we did order drinks we had to go up and ask for them 20 minutes later. At the end we wanted to clear the plates to make some arm room while the others finished up but were told they don't do that and wait until everyone is done. Service was just meh considering this years slogan "service beyond promise". Price: overpriced!! Charged for pop refills. So if you have a coke its $3 a fill and a small glass. Food is fairly bland and uniform. Was impressed last year and others past but not worth the mediocre meal this year. I've been here three times this year and I've been disappointed every trip. Enough after is enough after the most recent trip. We have been coming for years but skipping anymore trips this summer. I'd rather have a good meal and the view just isn't worth the cost this year.More

After trying out multiple eateries and lounges in the area. We decided to try out Trader's at Eagle Ranch as we've never been. We were just looking for a place to have a few appies and a drink. Initially we thought the lounge was closed...as there were no vehicles in the parking lot but we went up and tried the huge entry way doors. Much to our surprise, Trader's was open and we were immediately greeted by our server, Dylan. We were very impressed with the open timber beams throughout the interior and the scenic vista views. It truly is a beautiful place in an awesome location. We ordered Caesars, mushroom poutine, bacon parmesan wings and "jars". Everything was great especially the jars which is a small mason jar of a spread served with crackers and chips. The duck pâté and ginger was very good. Overall we were very impressed and the pricing was on par. It was a great place to chill, munch and visit.More

It is greatly unfortunate that the stunning views of the mountains and Lake do not match the quality of the food. I have been here on business three times in the past couple of months, and both times I tried something different to see if...there was any improvement. There has not been. The food is boring and bland. There is no flavor, and everything is lackluster. The food is so bland in comparison to last year, I have stopped recommending this place to my guests as the best place for food. The ingredients seem very fresh. Why on earth they can't seem to season the food, I have no idea. With great tools there should be great food. Something is missing here, and I don't know what it is (besides flavour).More

Spectacular view and wonderful patio, but it goes downhill from there. My husband and I had the fish and chips. Should have sent it back. The batter was greasy and soggy, almost black in color.The chips were like cardboard. We have not had a high...quality meal there in years. Many menu choices are baffling. Last year predominantly Asian food in a golf lounge? We used to dine there regularly a number of years ago. Wonderful food and atmosphere back then. Miss it dearly.

Have been coming to Eagle ranch for years. Another bad experience. Over an hour to get the pasta feature and a burger. Calamari was worse than something you buy at the grocery store and cook in your oven at home. The view is always great...but the quality sucks and the service was almost as bad. Some years it's been a great experience but sadly not in 2016.More
