We stayed at the Ainsworth Hot springs and tried their dinner restaurant. It tries to be upscale but we were disappointed. The food choices seemed good and we had both good and bad experiences. The mussels were good but the steak and smashed potatoes (not...mashed potatoes) was not that great (especially for the price). Other members of our party had good comments on their food but we weren’t coming back again. The service was mixed. The hostess tried to sit us in a bad table when there were many better tables and booths open. The waiter was good but not very friendly. The restaurant looks nice and there are many food choices so you may have better luck than we did.More

Well, I am beyond disappointed, The items we wanted to order apparently were from the old menu and the menu hadn't been updated yet, so instead of a sirloin steak which would have been 40 bucks they offered a flat iron steak, okay no problem,...then the wings we ordered they said we couldn't have for they have one flavor of wing.... Okay no problem. Place the order then, realized we have no idea what this is going to cost for items we didn't really want in the first place, so we decided just to cancel because we still wanted to hit the hot springs and we were told the restaurant was super busy, when I called back to cancel, I was told that my food was already on the grill, this wasn't even ten minutes after I placed the order, so he wouldn't allow me to cancel. Okay, not the way you run a business, but fine I'll suck it up, then we get the call to grab our food, because they don't actually have room service like it says on the website, my husband went to pick it up, he comes back with 6 chicken wings and a measly little steak with no side which cost us $80.00. I am disgusted. I went to the manager and complained and I was told to e mail the general manager and they would get back to me within a few days. I have also taken photos of this $80.00 "gourmet" meal and shame on u guys, I have worked many years as a chef and even more years in the customer service industry and I am beyond disgustedMore

We have heard and read great things so perhaps we were expecting too much. Their website is out of date so none of our choices were on the menu. Settled for a Ruben which was OK and the arugula salad with salmon. Again OK! Apparently...a new menu is coming. Perhaps we will try again.More

The view is beautiful and the meal was delicious. Service was great. One of us had the duck which came with an amazing sauce, wild rice pilaf and seasonal vegetables. The other meal was the elk dish with a wonderful Saskatoon sauce. Will definitely be...back!More

Great food, fantastic service. Not a huge menu, but, everything we had was well prepared, and presented, and the servings were generous. Probably the largest, and tastiest, pork chop I have ever had in a restaurant. Menu has lot of local products, with a generous...amount of first-nations influences. We had the ice-cream for desert - it was made in house.More

We enjoyed two dinners and two breakfast at the Ktunaxa Grill. The chef is amazing and obviously takes a lot of pride in providing a very memorable meal. Portion sizes are large so make sure to bring your appetite. We had the Ktunaxa Grill Signature...Chicken and The Reuben the first night and second night the Mushrooms on toast, wild rice, grilled vegetables, Bison French Onion soup and lavender cheesecake for desert. The Mushrooms on toast had our taste buds tingling and the wild rice was delicious!! The lavender cheesecake was a great way to end our meals. Breakfast both mornings were amazing served with beautiful homemade jam. The wait staff provided amazing service. Highly recommended!!More

I order fish & chips, for take away. The fish came overdone, a bit burnt. The fries were dry. Totally disappointed, especially when they charged 12% tips and delivered no quality.

The worst service, and they add a significant gratuity to your bill just because. Grumpiest server I've ever met.

We were very disappointed and walked out before being served. We are not sure what we did to get the poor service. We were sat right on time for our reservation and then watched as all the tables around us were served and we were...ignored. We looked at the limited menu which is not very vegetarian friendly. One of the members of our party was vegetarian and had questions about what could be prepared to suit but no one came to help. We had two children with us who were keen to color the colouring sheets we received when we were sat but they had no coloured pencils. We waited to ask for some but no one came. We kept the kids entertained and drank a whole pitcher of water while we waited for service but no one came. When the water ran out we decided leave. We spoke to the front desk about other options and were informed there were no other options without drive a couple towns over to Nelson. We grabbed snacks from the car and ate them in our room. We won’t be back and can not recommend this place.More

The mix of flavors in the food were incredible. The fresh vegetables and fruits make the dishes unique and tasty. Everything had wonderful spices which complimented each other perfectly. The medium rare duck was very tender and the reduction sauce was very flavorful. The cheese...cake dessert with the fresh blueberries was spot on with both cow and goat cheeses. Oh I forgot to mention! The servers were extremely professional, attentive and knowledgeable about the meal. Jules you were awesome! The breathtaking view from the restaurant of the pristine Lake Kootenay and the tree filled mountains. This is a five star restaurant in my opinion and I eat out often. The chef should be submitted and awarded the Michelin award It was a wonderful experience which I will never forget. I hope to come back again! Thanks again!More
