The Dip Pool Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Fredericton

Planned a weekend at the Delta with the intention of spending much of out time out on the patio and the weather cooperated nicely. The first night was perfect. Not a big crowd and the pool bar was closed as it had rained earlier in the day, but we were able to bring our drinks from the lobby bar and had a fantastic time. The second evening was much more lively with the pool bar open and some great music. It was unfortunate that our reservation for a table on the upper level with restaurant service was apparently lost but we made the best of it. The only disappointment was our request earlier in the day to bring a special birthday dessert to one of our party who was celebrating a milestone birthday was also missed. Pretty hard to excuse this. There was a small wedding onsite and the group had reserved a table just down from us. Not long after those folks were seated, a parade of inebriated boaters started to make their way from the boat dock to the hotel via the patio, complete with coolers and beer in hand. Again, it was unfortunate that the wedding party had been seated directly beside the patio entrance and had to watch the boaters literally stagger by. For us, it was kind of comical to watch and take bets on who was going to face plant first. Most were wearing masks but a couple of gents gave a young waiter a hard time when they were asked to put on masks. Bottom line is we were happy with our package, except for the missed reservation, but I wouldn't recommend the Delta for a special event during the summer season. They do not have protocols in place to guarantee what should be a pleasant, non disruptive...

TLDR: Avoid this place at all costs!

It took us 15 minutes to get water. Drink orders wouldn't come for 20 minutes. Overall, appetizers and two drinks took 2 hours. Absolutely shocking service. Drinks were overpriced. An 8oz single Caesar was $11. We ordered nachos and the red pepper dip at the same time but finished the nachos before the dip arrived. The nachos were well garnished but soggy. We didn't get a second sour cream as initially ordered. We mentioned it to the waitress and she confirmed but it never came. The red pepper and spinach dip comes in a two oz bowl. I was under the impression the dip was a side at first. The kettle chips were fried in old oil and were soggy.

After ordering appetizers our menus were taken and we were never offered mains.

It is a great place to watch the sun but the cheap poolside restaurant vibe is counter to the elegance of the Delta. It's a completely contrasted experience with the Stmr...

Waited a long long time for our food. Server checked up maybe once to see if our drinks needed to be filled in 45 minutes. Then started raining while sitting outside, not a big deal since no one can control the weather, but was told to take our plates inside, pointed towards a door, and told to find our own seat. Thought at least since we had to wait to be seated in the first place that at least our server would help us find a seat inside. The food was bland and tasted like it was left out too long, I had fish so it made my stomach turn a little. The tarter sauce I would not recommend as it was oddly sour. Overall, I know the delta aims for better so I was very disappointment by my experience and also embarrassed that I had told my guests from out of town that I recommended this place to eat. Will not likely be making that recommendation again...
