    Fantastic experience at Montana's in Bayers Lake! Our server Chris was amazing. He was friendly and attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without us ever having to ask. My partner had the all-you-can-eat ribs and I had a chicken burrito bowl, and we both enjoyed our meals. The atmosphere was great and we really enjoyed our time there. We'll definitely be back and will be asking for Chris!

    Hark, good gentles all, and lend thine ear to this humble scribe’s tale of a feast most wondrous, where the fare did sing, the service did shine, and the very air did hum with mirth and grace. The Food: A Banquet Fit for Kings The victuals served were nectar to the tongue, each dish a sonnet crafted by the gods themselves. The meats, tender as a lover’s whisper, did melt upon the palate with such savoury delight that even the most discerning of lords would have raised their goblets in praise. The vegetables, fresh as morning dew in an English garden, added colour and crunch to a tableau most pleasing to both eye and appetite. And the desserts—oh, what sweet alchemy!—were like poetry set to sugar, leaving one’s soul content and one’s heart full. The Service: Attendants Noble and Swift The servers moved with the grace of courtiers in a royal procession, ever attentive yet never intrusive. Their smiles were as warm as summer sun, and their knowledge of the menu rivalled that of a scholar well-versed in ancient texts. Each request was met with haste and cheer, as though fulfilling the wishes of nobility rather than mere mortals. Truly, their hospitality was a performance worthy of the Globe itself. The Atmosphere: A Stage Set for Joy The ambiance did wrap around us like a velvet cloak, rich with the glow of candlelight and the murmur of happy voices. The decor, elegant yet inviting, spoke of timeless charm, as if the very walls had witnessed centuries of such revelry. Music played softly in the background, a gentle lute to accompany our feast, while the air carried the scent of herbs and spices that promised delight before the first bite was even taken. It was a place where time seemed to slow, allowing every laugh and every clink of glass to be savoured like a fine wine. Final Verdict In sum, this establishment is a jewel in the crown of dining, a place where food, service, and atmosphere unite in harmony most divine. Whether thou art a lord, a lady, or a humble traveller seeking respite, this tavern doth offer a feast for both body and spirit. Go forth, good friends, and partake in this culinary sonnet—for it is an experience most worthy of praise and repeat visitation.

    Came here for my bday dinner. Arrived at the front door and no-one was there to direct us to any seating. A lot of servers were just walking about for a while and no one bothered to even say, we'll be right with you, or anything. Bad start. My friend & l ended up walking up to take our seats at the bar hoping to get the servers or anyone to notice us, still took a while. One then came by and asked if we wanted to move to a booth and so we did. For food definitely loved the hocking beef rib (a friend recommended it to me). Honestly, recommend going there for casual, chilled outings not for anything special, just my opinion.

    Went in and they sat us at a booth on the bar side. The server was prompt in taking our drink order. When he brought us our drinks he told us he had to settle up some bill in the private room that would take about 10 minutes. We told him no problem. He took care of those people then went to the kitchen, then stood behind the bar, then proceeded to a new table. We decided we would take our drinks and go to the bar as now we have been waiting over 20 minutes and were feeling forgotten. We took our drink and sat at the bar where the bartender(which is what I do for a living) totally ignored us while chatting with a lady. Looked our way but did not at all acknowledge us and the fact that he saw us get up and move with drinks and menus in hand. We wanted a few more minutes and the original server saw us and proceeded to make the drinks for the new table. When we asked for our bill for the pop and lemonade telling the bartender we felt like we were being ignored. There was no apology and what could he get us for to eat. He just asked the other server what we had and gave us our bill. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE SERVICE!!! We love Montana’s but will not be returning to Halifax.
