The Clubhouse at Paradise Valley — Restaurant in Medicine Hat

Sigh...I keep trying to like this place since I enjoy the golf course and the nice restaurant ambiance/views. After a bad experience for Mother’s Day a few years back, I thought it was deserving of another chance. So we took my mother-in-law there for her 65th bday brunch on Sunday. We had a reservation and the restaurant was certainly busy (as busy as it can be during Covid times anyways - about 10-12 tables). As soon as we were seated, we were warned in a rather abrupt manner that it was going to take 45 minutes for our food order - 3 pretty basic breakfast dishes. Why take the reservation if your kitchen and staff can’t keep up? At this point, we just decided to have a nice long chat while waiting for our meals. Good thing we weren’t in a hurry. My omelette arrived and it seems like it had been waiting on the pass for 30 minutes. Hash browns were cold and my omelette was luke warm. I asked for new hash browns and what came back were warmer, very greasy hash browns. I didn’t want to wait any longer so just ate out of hunger. The reports from the other two meals were just okay. We weren’t really asked how everything was so didn’t pass along the feedback. I really really want to like this place but bad service and food seems to prevail. Maybe third time will...

The restaurant at Paradise Valley golf course has an open-air, lots of windows, Cafe style tables for indoor dining or, settings on an outdoor attached deck, weather permitting. Generally the atmosphere of openess is great as lots of windows gives you a nice view of the valley but the noise factor is rather bothersome. Even with just 5 of us at the table, it was hard for all to be in the same conversation. Some sound barriers would be beneficial for the indoor setting. We made reservations for brunch and arrived to reasonably ample parking with wheelchair spots located closer to the the entrance. The greeter at the door didn't seem to know what I was talking about when I gave her my name. A server walking by told her "party of 5". Without elaborating, I'll say the service was mediocre, my order choice of avocado toast was lukewarm, granny had to ask for her tea and they kept wanting to take her plate away, even though she wasn't done with her meal. Perhaps this was just a one off experience at Paradise Valley restaurant that day, but a great golf game on the course would surely be a remedy (when winter is finally...

We came for dinner and will definitely come back. The patio has a wonderful view, the waitress was extremely helpful and friendly, she was also quite patient as it took us quite a while to decide what to order. The place was clean, and the food was fantastic! I ordered the steak sandwich and was thrilled to get 2 pieces of garlic bread! Everywhere else I have ever had a steak sandwich gives only 1 piece of bread and calls it "open face". Open face shouldn't even be a thing. A sandwich isn't a sandwich without at least 2 pieces of bread. The steak was cooked perfectly as well. My girlfriend had the Club Sandwich and it looked fantastic. I had a bite and it was as good as it looked. They certainly do not cheap out on the bacon! We also had the lettuce wraps and they were awesome! I could have ordered a few more plates of those for sure!! Finally the prices...totally reasonable. This place really did earn a 5 star review. I highly recommend...
