This is the best bar in Sylvan Lake. Great decor, great food, great staff and the best sound system/tvs for watching sports! Great job Ian!

Do not order the cottage pie. Overcooked, frozen, microwaved and stuck under a grill. The so called minced beef was burned, stringy and inedible. We were a party of seven and two of our ladies saw the bartender/manager use the bathroom and leave without washing her hands. Never again.

I dont even know where to begin ! Horrible experience and I was embarrassed ! Last Saturday went for a bite got there around 545 PM ! The girl at the entrance said 10 min wait ! I said ok then we walked to the other restaurant but that was busier so we walked back and that point there was more people waiting to be seated ! I was blown away how they not able to seat people ! They seat 2 people for a table seat 6-or 8 !!!!!!!! So right there loosing about 30 people and you can multiple by 3 or 4 tables !!! They could separate those tables and then people like us dont have to wait 25 min ! Then we got seated at the side patio ! Then the server told us we have limited menu !!!! Summer time hello what is this place not ready ?? Then we ordered shrimp and flatbread and for starter Calamari ! Young girl said ok then she goes get our Margarita that was a joke too much pineapple ! So she is coming back and told us sorry no calamari ! Ok Np ! Then our food is coming like not warm it all ! But we ate and I checked the limited menu what is a JOKE ! So on the shrimp should be mango ,pineapple and orange !NON OF THEM WAS THERE ?? But if some one not checking they charge you for a full price !!! I told her so we got 3 $ off ! Ask about the atmosphere ? We had that small side patio and next to us people had a dog barking all the time !!! NO DOG SHOULD BE WHERE FOOD IS PERIOD ! WE NEVER EVER GO BACK BAD SEATING HORRIBLE FOOD ! Now I know why people had NACHOS ! I WOULD NOT GIVE EVEN ONE STAR BUT I CANT POST IT WHIHOUT ONE ! What a joke !

The music was great, the service wants good. Had the fish and chips adult and kid size also chicken fingers and fries. I think we had enough fries between the 3 plates to feed 10+ people. Not really a complaint but maybe to save some money and food from getting wasted cut the fries back a bit.

It seems the waitresses don’t really want anyone to come in and make them work!We were quite hungry, and wanted a drink. Took a while to get the drink, so decided against eating! Great atmosphere! Treated the dog very well though!

Food was absolutely amazing! Especially the poutines! Had a bachelorette dinner and the restaurant gave us a round of shots on the house which was really nice! The vibes were good and would come back in the future for sure!

Had an amazing time tonight here! They graciously let us get a last minute reservation for our Bachelorette party, and made the entire experience wonderful. Food was fantastic, and the staff were amazing and super friendly!

We have gone to The Driftwood several times, and usually it’s okay.But I cannot recommend the tacos, as they were terrible. Carrot sticks, a piece of lettuce and fried fish do not make a taco. Accompanied with a pickled chili mango sauce that hadn’t pickled long enough, it was not a great lunch. For ~$20 I was expecting more, and did not think you could mess up a taco that bad.
