Wainwright Hotel - Calgary

Delicious food and amazing service!. We'd been hearing rave reviews about the brunch at Wainwright Hotel at Heritage Park so we finally decided to give it a try this weekend. Friends had told us that wait times could go up to an hour so reservations are recommended. My husband called at 10 am and booked a table for 5 for 11 am. We arrived on time and let the hostess know we were there. After waiting for 10 minutes, we reminded her again that we were waiting for our table. She was very apologetic and told us they were just cleaning up our table. At about 11:20 (20 minutes of waiting), the manager came up to us and profusely apologized about the wait and told us he'd give us a $25 gift card. We were then shown to our table and the manager actually turned up with a $50 gift card! We were pleasantly surprised and very impressed with the service. A lot of restaurants have made us wait 15 20 minutes even with a reservation but the fact that the manager apologized and even made it up with the gift card really made the service stand out.The buffet had a large variety of items freshly baked goods, scrambled eggs, french toast, waffles, pancakes, breakfast potatoes, sausages, bacon, freshly churned butter, jam, a cheese platter, an omelette station and a decadent fruit and dessert station! Of special mention are the breakfast potatoes, waffles and to order omelette station. To be honest, I was so stuffed by the time I'd finished breakfast I didn't get a chance to try any of the dessert! My husband however tried the mini tiramisu cup and the chocolate swiss roll and said both items were amazing and the swiss roll was out of this world!To the staff at the Wainwright hotel, thank you for the impeccable service and delicious food! We'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend the brunch!

Good Christmas Brunch. It's a family tradition to visit Heritage Park during their Christmas event and we always have brunch at the Wainwright. The food is good, nothing to wax philosophically over, but better than some of the revolting brunch buffets one may find out there. There is a decent selection of food that should satisfy everyone and the staff are quick to come around and refill coffee or deliver orange juice when you need it. To conclude, I could probably recommend about 1000 different restaurants to people looking for a nice sit-down meal, but this place should satisfy for breakfast/brunch at Heritage Park.

The Sunday brunch buffet at Wainwright's is a delightful choice even for those who prefer more gourmet options. While they may not have a wide variety of dishes, everything they do offer is prepared with care and skill. The buffet is cleverly positioned away from the main dining area, ensuring that the food remains fresh and hot without being crowded by other diners. The menu includes delectable items such as fried hash browns, crispy bacon, house-made sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, pancakes, waffles, berry sauce, cheese platters, fresh fruit, baked goods, and pastries. The service is top-notch, but be prepared for a slight wait if you arrive during peak hours. It is best to arrive early to avoid any delays.

We waited a while for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was not very hot. However, the taste was good and the prices were fair.

Good food, good service and great ambiance. I think it’s cool to enjoy a great meal in a historic hotel in Heritage Park. The food was delicious. No one should expect a gourmet meal but for the experience being in the park and the prices are reasonable it was good. The restaurant is clean and well lit as well as the washroom.
