    We came about 6:30 on Saturday night. Got seated as soon as a booth was cleaned and ready (our choice). Our server (who I thought was named Nathan) was absolutely awesome. He was so nice, polite and efficient. The food was excellent. Atmosphere? I couldn’t do 5 stars for atmosphere. We could tell they were seriously short staffed. Tables stayed uncleared for far longer than what I would consider normal. We could also tell that our server was running around like a chicken with a missing head. (Sorry no pun intended). Despite being short staffed Nathan got everything right and was quick and accomodating when my wife and daughter’s drinks didn’t taste very good. Thank you Nathan for your great service. Management perhaps need to address staffing levels.

    I ordered through Uber. I recieved only half my order. Yes I get that the main problem is Uber however contacting Uber is impossible so I called the restaurant. I was just looking for assistance to reach the driver or the company, as a business you should be able to provide some kind of help to your clients. I will NOT be ordering through Uber again and I will NOT go to this location again.

    Swiss chalet is one of our favourites. Our server Hannah went above and beyond, it was a busy night and we could see she was working hard to meet everyone’s needs.

    My family and I love going to Swiss chalet, specifically the Woodland location. Their food is simply delicious and always well prepared. On our last couple of visits, we were assisted by Nathanael and also by Nathan. They are both amazing. Both of them are super polite, friendly, helpful and with a happy attitude that is contagious. The most important part for me, is that they always bring my son's food first and vey fast. Nathanael and Nathan, they both make you feel welcome and they totally show that they care about their customers and the business itself. Note: On our last vist, we almost left the restaurant due to the attitude of the lady at the front desk. Her face expression for when we requested a booth was totally unacceptable. Thanks to Nathanael, we stayed and we had an amazing dinner experience... kudos to him.
