Churchill's Prime Rib House — Restaurant in North Bay

A week before our 57th wedding anniversary I made a reservation for June 12th when we arrived there there was nobody at the front door but a young lady came from the back of the restaurant asked if we had a reservation I said yes for 7 she said that we couldn't sit next to the window side because it was full I said for the past several years we've come here and always had the windows side on our anniversary did you specify window side in your reservation I said no she Shrugged and said would you mind a booth we said no she took us down to the end of the restaurant put it in a booth which I couldn't get my stomach in past the table I said I'm not going to sit here so she took us up to the front of the shop sat at a table with a half booth my wife sat on the bench outside I sat on a chair read the menu decided what we were going to have waited another good five minutes before anybody came to take our order for drinks finally I ordered a martini and ask you have three olives my wife ordered Caesars waitr left where did a few minutes comes back ask do I want a dirty martini or straight up ask my wife if she wanted a spicy drink or regular she says a little spicy the drinks come her glass was not rimmed with the normal spices none at all she was surprised and told the waiter so he took the drink back had it done over to my wife specifics finally we ordered our food both of us asked for prime rib beef medium rare it was served with Yorkshire pudding vegetables and look very appetizing problem was with steak knife my wife couldn't cut hers mine was difficult to cut so sent it back waiter comes back said it must have been that part of the roast they've got two new slices mine was now cooked about medium my wife looked Raw still very difficult for her to cut finally we both sent our meals back I have travelled all over United States Coast to Coast in Canada five times I never had to send a meal back I felt sorry for our waiter who was going out of his way to please us the the cost of the roast beef what is $48 for an 8oz piece my wife chose to have a shrimp cocktail five shrimps medium size not the jumbo $24 all in all the bill ended up $138 because hope the food problem they took 25% off of the original bill which was very generous of them to do so but didn't help our appetites our waiter as I said was above and beyond and did everything to please us what we didn't know was that the original owner of the restaurant is in negotiations to sell it they have a new chef and I didn't find things and sneer fulfilling as that times we had been there before unfortunately I do not have a good opinion of Churchill anymore hope this rent isn't too...

I’d booked a reservation online for this restaurant. We were coming in from out of town almost two hours so I wanted to make sure we were confirmed. So the night before I called and spoke with someone who assured me I was booked in, and then the app sent me a confirmation as well. All was good. When we got to the restaurant though, someone had taken my reservation! Not sure how-as I’d stated we were a party of two adults and four children. And there weren’t any children there. So they had to make up a new table-which took another ten minutes. They seated us in the atrium—which in my opinion should be kept solely for Lunch. The ambiance of this restaurant is awesome, and for a real steak dinner-that’s what you want-the old school, dark and brooding charm—not the bright, and sunny view of cars. I can go anywhere else for that. So I was really disappointed that we were put there-along with other people who were VERY loud-and it’s funny bc we had the kids! Anyway, that aside, there were crumbs all over the floor and our seats, the glasses were dirty; and cutlery had to be sent back. What is on the menu was not what you get-as well as not being the same as online. I’d pre-read online and knew what I wanted but then that changed once we got there and seen it was different. (Ie the ceaser salad, scallops) Added to that they were out of stock on somethings we had ordered, so changes had to be made. The wine menu is on an iPad which is absolutely ridiculous. The server was slow and inexperienced-so we had to wait a long while between courses and with four children that was a feat. (Regardless of the children- who were well behaved, it was a long wait bc the server waited until After she’d taken our appetizers away to come back and take our order instead of doing it beforehand) The food was ok. My steak came out well done instead of medium and they didn’t bring out our second order of bread-but charged us for it. The scallops came with a fruity jus that didn’t have any business being with seafood and the dessert menu is lackluster at best-and also mostly contains nuts; which would be a no for anyone allergic. Overall—not what you’d be looking for in a restaurant that charges almost $100/plate. I’m disappointed in going out and dropping all that cash and it not being worth...

I had eaten here twice in the past and had exceptional experiences, however my last experience was very disappointing and a bit creepy. Our server was excellent. I made our reservation weeks in advance and the 4 of us were very much looking forward to a very nice meal to celebrate the marriage of my partners sister to her fiancée. To start we tried to order champagne. Real champagne from France, not a sparkling wine. They had just recently sold their last bottle of our first choice a few days earlier. When we tried to order the second choice we received the same answer. Our choices were then limited to Dom, at $350.00 per bottle or a sparkling wine. At this point I asked, only half jokingly, if the liquor store was still open. This was very disappointing, as one of the things they promote is their large wine selection that is updated weekly. The appetizers were very good. For a main course my partner and ordered rack of lamb. To my amazement we were only served 3 ribs each! Must have been a hell of a lamb! I have ordered this item in restaurants all across the country and other parts of the world, but never was served only three ribs. The ribs were good such as they were, however the vegetables looked like table scraps withsome over cooked, some under cooked and some properly cooked. My partner does not eat very much as a rule, but after bread, appetizer and main course he left hungry as did the rest of us....... then to top the evening off my partners sister forgot her mask and when she returned to retrieve it she was stopped in the narrow passageway by an older man who she took to be the owner and he started coming on to her. He asked her where she was from and what her name was among other things and as she was going out the door he said “call me some time.” She told us this after rejoining us in the parking lot. She said that she and a girlfriend of hers had stopped there once before for drinks and the same old guy invited himself to sit with them for a similar experience. Suffice to say none of us will be back, but if you intend to eat at this establishment I suggest you eat a lunch before you go, bring your own champagne and accompany any good looking young women in your party as you pass by the old letcher...
