Lakeside Chophouse & Wine Bar

We had an absolutely wonderful breakfast at Lakeside Chophouse during our visit to Waterton. The setting alone is worth the visit — sitting lakeside with a panoramic view of the mountains while enjoying a peaceful meal is hard to beat. A big shout out to Christine for the service as it completed the experience. I ordered the turkey sausage hash and was genuinely impressed. The pesto brought a fresh, herbaceous note that elevated the whole dish, and the sunny side up eggs were perfectly cooked — the yolks added a creamy, velvety richness when mixed in with the crisp potatoes and tender turkey sausage. Every bite felt thoughtfully balanced and satisfying. Our server, Christine, was outstanding — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made us feel right at home and her service made an already beautiful meal even better. Between the delicious food, the stunning view, and Christine’s amazing service, Lakeside Chophouse is easily a must-stop if you’re in Waterton. Highly recommend!

The food here is absolutely delicious, and you can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. We ordered steaks and a seafood linguine, and I can’t even describe how amazing the steak was—cooked to perfection and incredibly flavorful. The seafood linguine was also excellent. The atmosphere is lovely, and the place is very clean, which adds to the overall experience. My only suggestion would be for the staff to be a bit more welcoming and friendly. Overall, highly recommended for the food!

This restaurant was gorgeous and had great customer service!! Would definitely return to try another dish! Our server Eamon was very kind and enthusiastic, he made us feel so welcome! The food was great and was reasonably priced for the portions. We would definitely come back! Also loved the view!

Normally when visiting a smaller town or just travelling in general especially for a short time I would never go to the same restaurant twice. We were only in Waterton for 2 days staying at the Prince of Wales hotel and both nights we had dinner at Lakeside because of the service, the view, the drinks and most importantly the food. I wish I had taken pictures of the ribeye (feature for the weekend) the first night as well as the calamari which was the best I’ve ever had (regular menu). But we went back the second night and got the chicken tikka masala and the lobster and prawn linguine, both of which were amazing even if not quite as good as the steak the night before which was 11/10. Our servers both nights were excellent (Adrian and Eamon), but on the Sunday night Adrian even got us the last of the feature desserts (they were down to 3) they had over the weekend even though it was no longer on the menu. It was like a giant coffee crisp chocolate bar with a mocha ice cream/cream filling and was so good we had it both nights. Highly recommend this restaurant for the view, the food, and the service. We got to watch half of a wedding reception in the grassy area beside the restaurant and a bunch of baby deer canter by on the paths by the lake. One of the best restaurants I’ve been to.

Food, service and vibes all were great. They tailored to my husband's need as hus stomach senstivity to have no dressing and he immediately suggested on side olive oil, which was absolutely right. My dish was so rich and delicious too. On the other sunny days, I saw weddings going on in the back yard.

Wow! What an absolutely wonderful experience. I had been planning to come here for years as I used to frequent Waterton about a dozen times in a summer. Unfortunately, I never did have the chance until a couple weeks ago. First of all, the atmosphere is wonderful. Having the restaurant situated on the edge of the lake makes for a very picturesque and romantic spot. The decor is classy yet comfortable. The wine and cocktail selection is beautifully curated with options that are not overpriced. The food was well prepared, beautifully presented, and made with love and attention. Both of our meals (I had sirloin, my partner had the braised short rib) were extremely tasty well seasoned, and fresh. I wasn't sure what the experience would be like overall since we were visiting very late in the season and they were closing down within a couple weeks. The staff was absolutely incredible, both being friendly and kind, but also very knowledgeable on all aspects of the menu. Making great recommendations. Thank you again! We had a wonderful experience and plan to be back the next time we are in Waterton.

We loved Adam!! Our server. He listened to our detailed order and it was perfect. We also requested to move inside due to the weather and he was very gracious about it. He checked in with us during our dinner time, but not too much. He is a keeper, a gem! He was also very supportive to his other collegues that we works with. You are certainly blessed to have time serving at this spot. We will certainly be back and hope to have Adam as our server.

The last time I visited this restaurant was back in 2019, and it still stands as the best in town. Located by the lake, it offers delicious food and excellent service. However, be aware that there are many flies this time visiting Waterton Park.
