Wilfrid's

We had a small gathering on Boxing Day. The 10 of us were split into two tables of 4 and 6 side by side. Very comfortable and roomy. Our tables were on the upper level and far away from other tables. We were all having the Discovery Menu. The parents had wine pairing, and the grownup children ordered cocktails. Every course was excellent. We were very impressed with the Turkey! It was the best Turkey I have ever had! Very very tender and flavourful. The wine pairing was excellent too. The service was impeccable. They didn’t have the buffet because of the pandemic. However this Set Menu was perfect for gathering. I highly recommend it!

Came here for a brunch on a Sunday, and the experience and food was amazing! A friend had mentioned that they used to do an all you can eat brunch, which would’ve been amazing to try, however this was just as good! We were seated quickly (with a reservation) and was explained how the menu worked. We got everything on the menu, and they brought it out course by course. Something to note, you are offered one drink per person however if you want a different drink after (like coffee or tea) you’re charged extra and we weren’t told about this beforehand. It was a very unique experience and I would do it again for a special occasion! Highly recommend coming on an empty stomach to make the most of the food!

I enjoy Wilfred’s. The food is excellent. We really enjoy the meat offerings and are looking forward to their continued offerings as they now have an in-house butcher shop. I will say that our service has been very hit and miss. I understand the restaurant has gone through a lot over Covid, and that they likely need to work out kinks (we were actually told as much). I took this into consideration with my review and did not deduct more. I am hoping for improved and more consistent service during future visits, as the menu offerings have been excellent each time.

I’ve been at this place for Brunch and it has been amazing , (before covid) and food was amazing , so many varieties… I went today and the buffet looks so sad , not too many items like before , presentation was awful. It was just a SAD buffet. And then the bill $88 for 2 … I won’t come back , I can have better food at Cora. So sorry guys very disappointed.

Mother’ day brunch at Wilfred’s was very underwhelming, especially at $95/pp. the staff were kind but overall the meal was very mediocre. For the price, it was not good. Nothing was hot; not the coffee, not the egg dishes; the seafood tower we ordered, came after 45 mins and we had finished our meal. (Hope someone else received it). The washrooms were not dirty, but they hadn’t been attended to. Overall it was a real disappointment. We won’t come back, nor recommend. I never post reviews.

It has been a tradition in my family to go to Wilfrid’s weekend brunch for my birthday every year. We hadn’t gone for the past two years because of Covid, so we were really looking forward to our brunch this past weekend. The experience was stressful because we arrived half an hour late because of the highway closure. We called them in advance to notify them, and they said it would be no problem. Our reservation was for 1:30 PM, and we arrived close to 2 PM. Once we got there, we were told the Buffet closes at 2 PM and it’s better if we go to Zoe’s instead. Their website shows the weekend brunch at Wilfrid’s closes at 3 PM. Also, when I was booking online, they had reservation timeslots for 1:30 PM and 1:45 PM, which doesn’t make sense if the Buffet is supposed to close at 2 PM. How would someone eat a Buffet in 15 minutes if they have a 1:45 PM reservation? The staff finally told us that they’ll let us in but we won’t be able to grab buffet food, we can only order from the menu. Once we sat down, they said they’ll leave the buffet open for us for the full experience. They told us we had to order from the menu right at that time because the kitchen was closing. We quickly ordered some items from the menu, but we never received everything we ordered. Towards the end, when we wanted more coffee, they told us there’s none available but offered to make a latte. We felt quite rushed and stressed during the time. It wasn’t comfortable and welcoming. It definitely wasn’t the usual Fairmont customer service that I’m used to. I’m not sure if I’ll be going back next year. We were disappointed.
