Swiss Chalet is great food but the plate size and portions are smaller but pricing hasn't changed. Nothing against the Swiss Chalet as I'm sure this is a necessary evil due to costs involving labour and the food itself her in Canada due to Government mismanagement the last decade. Our waitress was great as was our food.
Our dinner was good. Hannah M honestly deserves a raise if she hasn’t gotten one. She was pleasant, kind, speedy and made the dinner experience great. We’ll be back hoping she’s our server again.
April welcomed us warmly, she provided the best service and the food was delicious - another wonderful family gathering at Swiss Chalet!
