Valley View Restaurant — Restaurant in New Brunswick

This restaurant is found on the second floor of the Grey Rock Casino, in Edmundston. There's plenty of seating for groups of all sizes and the dining room is usually very clean. During this visit, the place was packed and buzzing. Great atmosphere offering a view overlooking the city on one side of the dining room and the slot machines on the other side. The service was friendly but a bit slow and disorganized. I was there for a little over an hour, seated at the bar. I had an appetizer, two drinks, a main dish, and a dessert. I chose the spinach dip for an appetizer. It was good but just a bit too much cheese for my liking. I ordered the Carbonnera with chicken as my main dish. However, I got shrimp instead of chicken. Not a big deal, for me, as I like seafood and there was no extra charge. They make the Carbonnera with fettuccine pasta, which is a bit different and a bit more filling than the traditional spaghetti option. I topped it all off with a piece of chocolate cheesecake which was pretty standard. It was a good meal. Everything tasted nice and fresh and the portions were okay. In total, not including the tip, my meal cost me about $70. One person could eat for less but I wouldn't expect to eat here for under $40 per person. So far, I haven't had a bad meal here but I haven't had anything that makes me crave coming back, either. I'll be back to try something else and maybe spend some more money...

Showed up and first noticed the over head music was LOUD. When seated I asked for a table away from the music. I was told speakers are everywhere and would not be able to escape the music. Next request was can you please turn it down. Apparently the staff cannot adjust the volume. Ordered the chicken cordon blue, Veg where boiled cold (butter not melted) and previously frozen, chicken looked like the frozen ones and was processed chicken, and the Cesar salad had soggy croutons. The baked salmon the salad dressing was on the bottom, the sauce drowned the salmon was starting to crust over , baked potato served with butter and sour cream. The salads are premade Since we where starving we dug it. It was ok, barely. The server came up and said, "oh your food is good by the way you eating it" I looked at her dumb founded. My first thought of reply was "are you surprised we are eating it" Instead I said it was Just ok. She liked that answer and said enjoy as she walked away. Guess she was surprised we eat it. I know should have asked for the manager but was tired and have stayed in the hotel before but wanted to experience the restaurant. On my way through next time,will get a frozen dinner from the...

Food 5/5. Service 1/5.

We were here last week and food and service were both excellent. Tonight that was not the case. We had a reservation but we’re treated like inconveniences when we arrived. Very unfriendly. We were shown to the worst table in the restaurant, despite the fact that most tables were empty. We asked to be seated at a window table further from the noise of the casino. We were told all tables were reserved. Only one had a reserved sign, and in fact one of the tables did not have a single person seated at it for the whole two hours we were there.

Our server was uncommunicative and offhanded. Our plates were quickly slapped down on our table and the server barely stopped by our table in a cursory way. Very disappointing. We are usually 20% plus tippers, but in this case we left no tip. We will likely not return to this restaurant, unless there is no other choice in town. And we will certainly not recommend it to anyone else. Two thumbs down....
