Our meal last night at Swiss Chalet was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the warm welcome at the door to the cozy, inviting atmosphere, everything set the stage for a perfect evening out. Our waitress was amazing — friendly, attentive, and always right there with a smile to make sure we were taken care of.
I ordered the chicken and rib combo with a loaded baked potato, and it was a meal worth raving about. The chicken was perfectly cooked — juicy, tender, and full of flavor — while the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender with that tangy, smoky BBQ sauce that made every bite irresistible. The loaded baked potato was everything you’d hope for: fluffy on the inside and piled high with melted cheese and real bacon, plus plenty of butter and sour cream on the side.
And of course, no visit to Swiss Chalet is complete without the famous Chalet Sauce. It’s honestly addictive — rich, savory, and so unique that I found myself dipping everything into it (chicken, ribs, potato, even the bread!). It ties the whole meal together in the most delicious way.
Even the sides were spot on. The coleslaw tasted so fresh and homemade, with that perfect balance of creamy and tangy. You could really taste the care that went into preparing it.
Altogether, this meal was bursting with flavor in every bite, and the service made it that much better. Huge compliments to the staff and kitchen for such a tasty and memorable experience. Job well done, Swiss Chalet — we’ll definitely...
Read moreWeird experience from the beginning. The hostess looked at me like she was confused why I was there. She said "hi" and then just stared at me. As the hostess is about to seat me the server (short, long blonde hair and glasses) in that section waved her hands and said no. To speak to your coworker in such a way is unacceptable, but to do so infront of guests is grounds for termination. I was sat at a dirty table and waited 5 mins before a server approached me. Not once did my server offer to wipe down the dirty table for me. I finished my first soft drink very quickly and I was not offered another. I had to ask for one when my food arrived and my empty glass stayed on the table until I left. My server had 6 tables and every new table waited a minimum of 5 mins before a server approached them. Every staff member looked miserable and stressed out the entire time. I finished my meal and drinks and sat there for 10+ mins before I was approached again by my server. When he did come over he said "just the bill?". No mention of dessert or another drink. Clearly my business isn't welcome here. Waited another 5 mins for my bill to arrive.
This place desperately needs a floor manager and to re-evaluate who they employ. This place has been on the decline for a while now but this was easily one of the worst restaurant experiences I...
Read moreThis used to be our favorite swiss chalet spot in hfx. We've been dining here for several years. However, the last two visits we had was only met with disappointments. Today, we dined it around 8.30pm for my child's bday. We asked the waiter if kids eat free and was told yes. Apparently this is not true. We got charged for the kids meal even though it says "Kids eat free during their bday" printed on their placemats. We only noticed the charge on our receipt after paying. I brought this to the attention of our server whom by the way for some reason always gives us a snotty feeling or attitude during our last two visits. I was told they don't offer the kids free meal during birthdays. Well if you don't, then don't tell us in the begin that kids get free meal during birthday. We asked our server ahead of time before ordering. I was told they only give a small birthday cake and not free meal anymore. The funny part was our server didn't even mention that we got charge for it and no apologies whatsoever. He asked us if I still want the cake ; I was surprised knowing they're closing in 10 minutes. Of course we declined the offer considering they are closing soon. So, Take a look of the picture that says "Kids eat free during their bday" that is printed on their placemats. Apparently that's not...
