  • 3/5 Lucas van H. 3 years ago on Google
    Reserved a table for 5 to celebrate my divorce. Upon arrival we found that there were no more 5-person tables available and my daughter and her girlfriend had to share the same seat. At one point we had enough and demanded staff bring out another chair; they brought out a children's seat. It was very insensitive to compare my daughter's girlfriend to a child merely because she is suffering from dwarfism. We ordered our food (supposedly the bruschetta is world class) and waited patiently. The service was quite rapid: after only four days our food arrived. It almost seemed like they wanted us gone. We were halfway through the bruschetta (world class) when staff requested us to relocate to the bathroom. While we had to pay 1 euro (19,13 ZAR) to enter the WC and we occasionally had to stand up from our seats so that other patrons could relieve themselves, it was overall a pleasant experience. Upon leaving the establishment, I noticed I left my wallet inside. I wanted to retrieve it but I was prevented from doing so because of my social anxiety. What if people will think I'm an idiot? My wallet is still there. Canadian Steakhouse: It's not the food you come here for - it's the experience. 3/5 stars. "I've had better days" - Stanley Kubrick (R.I.P.)

    The only good thing about this place was the location: in front of the Women's Church. Over €20 for a pasta dish with literally 5 small pieces of meat, cherry tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. The attention was the worst thing, like they wouldn't want to attend to us... even though there were not many people, they took a long time to take our order. They took even longer to bring the food: it was so long that it arrived completely cold.

    I did not like it. The waiter came to take our order late and I asked him to make our order quickly because we were in a hurry. The food came first to the table next to us where there were several people and yet they arrived at the restaurant at the same time as us. The food was not good but I still appreciate the fact that the food came quickly. When I looked at the menu, the food I ordered looked different because the menu had spaghetti, not tagliatelle, which was what he gave me.

    Great variety of steaks, alkohol drinks, etc. Pleasant and comfortable atmosphere inside the restaurant. Seats available although most of the tables were under reservations. Friendly and helpful staff. Good place to visit with family or going with friends😊

    (Translated by Google) Steaks ok and absolutely ok As is customary in system catering, one wants to make a profit from the overpriced side dishes. So overall it was a bit thin. Service very friendly, toilet clean. (Original) Steaks ok und absolut i.O. , wie in der Systemgastronomie üblich, will man über die überteuerten Beilagen den Gewinnn machen. War also insgesamt etwas dünn. Bedienung sehr freundlich, Toilette sauber.

    (Translated by Google) We were back in Dresden and now 3 times in Ontario. It is always an experience. The dishes are of a very high standard. It tastes excellent and even our daughter is delighted. Doe steaks are exactly right, whether medium for the adults or through for the kids. The chef is fantastic, kudos. Also the cocktails, mmhhhh delicious. You have to order a table, of course, as it is always full, which of course is understandable. (Original) Wir waren wieder in Dresden und jetzt das 3 mal im Ontario. Es ist immer wieder ein Erlebnis. Die Speisen sind auf sehr hohem Niveau. Es schmeckt ausgezeichnet und sogar unsere Tochter ist begeistert. Doe Steaks sind genau auf dem richtigen Punkt, ob Medium für die Erwachsenen oder durch für die Kids. Der Koch ist fantastisch, ein großes Lob. Außerdem die Cocktails, mmhhhh lecker. Man muss natürlich ein Tisch bestellen, da es immer voll ist, was natürlich verständlich ist.

  • 3/5 Clumsy S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Friendly staff. Pleasant, casual atmosphere. Worst beef fillet carpaccio we've ever eaten. Some of it was still frozen, as if it had just been thawed quickly in the microwave. A disappointment in terms of taste. Bison steak excellent! (Original) Freundliches Personal. Angeheme, zwanglose Atmosphäre. Schlechtestes Rinderfilet Carpaccio was wir je gegessen haben. Es war zum Teil noch tiefgefroren, als hätte man es nur schnell in die Mikrowelle zum auftauen getan. Geschmacklich eine Enttäuschung. Bison Steak dafür excellent!

  • 4/5 florian b. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a nice restaurant with a good menu. The location directly on the Neumarkt is first class, which you can also see at the prices. For the quality of the food maybe a bit too high. The staff was friendly, the service fast and professional. In general a good dinner for an ok price

  • 5/5 Stephanie B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We ate here very tasty and at moderate prices. The only thing to complain about is the waiting time for the aperitif - it came with the food after a little over 30 minutes. The desserts are spectacular. (Original) Wir haben hier sehr lecker und zu moderaten Preisen gegessen. Einzig zu bemängeln ist die Wartezeit auf den Aperitif - dieser kam gemeinsam mit der Speise nach etwas über 30 Minuten. Spektakulär sind die Nachspeisen.

    (Translated by Google) As with every visit to Dresden, this time to eat with the most beautiful view of the illuminated Frauenkirche ... always a pleasure, for many years a consistently high quality. Great steaks, handmade side dishes and my highlight this time - the mango basil sorbet. Very fine. We would love to come back. (Original) Wie bei jedem Dresdenbesuch auch diesmal wieder zum Essen mit dem schönsten Blick auf die beleuchtete Frauenkirche...immer ein Genuss, seit vielen Jahren eine gleichbleibend hohe Qualität. Tolle Steaks, handgemachte Beilagen und mein Highlight diesmal- das Mango- Basilikumsorbet. Sehr fein. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

  • 4/5 Ragesh R. 2 years ago on Google
    A nice and cozy restaurant with good Canada food. Service is also good from the staff and quality of food is worth the price.

  • 5/5 Alexandra T. 1 year ago on Google
    What a lovely evening. Perfect burger, nice beer and a very friendly staff.

  • 1/5 Hamzah A. 1 year ago on Google
    We tock a seat, we had our Water bottle with us. The Weiter approached to us in a very rude way to tell us that we are not allowed to drink water in the restaurant from outside. It is okay if that’s the role, but the way he approached us was not acceptable. We didn’t order and got out. Thank you for being polite. Not going there any more

  • 5/5 Maria S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice tender strips of beef with parmesan and pasta.

  • 3/5 May H. 2 years ago on Google
    A bit of a tourist trap. They advertised the ribs as being 400 g but what we received was far less than that. The menu wasn't particularly Canadian either other than the over priced bison and moose meat.

  • 4/5 Rob T. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed lunch here al fresco. The service was very good and the food and drinks were good as well.

  • 3/5 L6Tatar 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant is located in a perfect place in front of the Frauenkirche. One of our main reasons for dining in was the name of the brand. Service was solid. Our dish was good. We can not give five stars because we waited approximately one hour (if not more) to get our meat. In the meantime, new guests came in, ordered drinks and mains and were served even before us. The server asked if we are fine, which was somewhat pathetic while still waiting. We ordered four steaks. One flanksteak, two rumpsteaks and one rib-eye-steak. As sides we ordered fries with onion sauce, they were good. A la carte says: „if there are no wishes, the meat will be cooked medium“. I asked to have all three medium and the rib-eye-steak should be medium-rare. Mine was fine but I guess the kitchen read that all should be medium-rare. Nevertheless it was still a delicious experience but to much No-Go‘s for five stars. At home I saw that they also charged us for a „Rauchsalzbrot mit Knoblauch“ which first; I did not ordered and second: did not get (?!). Nevertheless, we gave the server a good tip, but to be honest it was not well deserved. Maybe, our second visit will be better. (We still have the bill for reference but won’t post it online so that the server does not get any problems)

    Best burger I had in Dresden so far because it was properly cooked as medium to rare. However, way more expensive than other restaurants. The creme brûlée Chocolate was tasty but there was too much whipped cream and not enough ice cream or cake, and it was more expensive than makes sense. Service was great!

  • 5/5 Gretchen M. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is one of the best I’ve ever been to. Absolutely top notch food and beverages. Memorable. Great atmosphere as well

  • 3/5 Lukáš L. 1 year ago on Google
    Steak was realy tasty, but that is all positive I can say about this place. Service was very confused, almost half of out orders wasn't realized correctly, they don't know words like "good afternoon" or "goodbye". Never more.

  • 3/5 Sarang D. 11 months ago on Google
    Ambiance and service are nice. The food, however, is average. There are more authentic German restaurants around the area.

  • 5/5 Claudia K. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent

  • 2/5 Nedim A. 3 years ago on Google
    Ambience nice but due to location and Dresden itself, less by restaurant. Worst Rumpsteak and pepper sauce I have had until now. No taste at all, medium ordered..got well over medium and dried. Not really sure if it is cooker mistake or the quality of meat was low. I would give it a try once again... We will see, next time.

  • 5/5 Liliya & Bernhard L. 3 years ago on Google
    We spontaneously decided to have a snack at the Ontario and were not disappointed. Various versions of hot chocolate along with Canadian sweets specialties on offer, and all of them delicious. Friendly and hospitable service along with tasty food and drinks!

  • 5/5 xlobotomyman321x 3 years ago on Google
    Waiter (bald male) was cute and super eager to take our order. Got the menus immediately and then bailed. Five stars.

  • 5/5 Daniele R. 4 years ago on Google
    All I can say is it's the best place for a meal around the square. Food is excellent. Service really good. Prices very reasonable. What more do you want. I had moose the one night, it was soft and melted in my mouth and for dessert a marshmallow chocolate cake. Well as I don't normally eat dessert, the next night I ordered it again. That's how good it was. Also had a burger, you could taste every aspect of it. Thank goodness, this restaurant is not near where I live, because I would be there constantly.

  • 1/5 John G. 3 years ago on Google
    Filet mignon was good, but where’s the service, eh? Couldn’t get a reservation two nights in a row. Finally walked in the second night and were seated right away. Ordered bruschetta and some drinks along with our steaks. After about 20 minutes, our drinks arrived followed shortly after with the drinks. The bruschetta arrived about 10 minutes later. I ordered a second beer and it never arrived. They were nice enough to not charge us for drinks in the end, but I do not see why this place is so popular.

    One of the best.Super restaurant with nice fresh beer and lovely food. Perfect staff(Melanie,Lotar und Manuel) but everybody was perfect. So frendly place with nice atmosfer.

    Welcome and professional staff, fast service, very good Canadian wine and delicious food, though place is for sure touristy, still enjoyable

  • 2/5 Ze S. 3 years ago on Google
    Hello, the place looks cozy. we asked if we could play sommartider but the waiter didn't react to it which is a pitty. We got a nice menu card but we bailed out so we don't know if it tastes well (not the cars lmao but the food😉) It looks like a solid 5/7 or something, idk. Fin

    (Translated by Google) By far the best steak house around. You can also see that in normal times during the week you always have to make a reservation in the evening.

    (Translated by Google) Great food. Is worth the money. You can pass with luck, but there is usually no space. It is best to reserve a table. (Original) Super Essen. Ist sein Geld wert. Auf gut Glück vorbei kann man, ist aber meist kein Platz. Am besten Tisch reservieren.

  • 3/5 Robert M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Pleasant, but really very slow service. Excellent sweet and normal potatoes, the meat in the burger is much cooked, while the staff did not ask how to cook. The taste of the meat was not recognizable and that is a pity. Disappointment on the price relation. (Original) Příjemná, ale opravdu velmi pomalá obsluha. Vynikající sladké i normální brambory, maso v burgru hodně propečené, přičemž obsluha se na způsob propečení neptala. Chuť masa nebyla poznat a to je škoda. Na cenovou relaci zklamání.

  • 4/5 Tim W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Our seat with a view of the Frauenkirche was really great. The price level is high, which is usually the case with a steakhouse. The dishes tasted okay for the price, but I expected more. Points are deducted for slow operation. We had to wait about 25 minutes for our dessert. (Original) Unser Sitzplatz mit Blick auf die Frauenkirche war echt toll. Das Preisniveau ist gehoben, was bei einem Steakhouse aber meistens so ist. Die Gerichte haben für den Preis ganz okay geschmeckt, hätte aber mehr erwartet. Punktabzug gibt es für die langsame Bedienung. Wir mussten ca.25mim auf unser Dessert warten.

  • 5/5 S. H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Despite a long wait, we were served friendly. The food was very, very good. We would love to come back on our next vacation in Dresden. The view on the 2nd floor was beautiful in the evening. View of the Frauenkirche. (Original) Trotz langer Wartezeit wurden wir freundlich bedient. Das Essen war sehr sehr gut. Wir kommen beim nächsten Urlaub in Dresden sehr gerne wieder. Der Ausblick in der 2. Etage war wunderschön am Abend. Blick auf die Frauenkirche.

    (Translated by Google) Short waiting time, very friendly waiters, pleasant selection on the menu. Due to the weather, we only sat outside to enjoy the view of the Frauenkirche. But everything looked very clean and tidy. The food, I had a burger with sweet potato fries, was prepared with great care and skill. A clear recommendation. (Original) Kurze Wartezeit, sehr freundliche Kellner, angenehme Auswahl auf der Speisekarte. Wir saßen wetterbedingt nur draußen, um den Blick auf die Frauenkirche zu genießen. Aber alles wirkte sehr sauber und ordentlich. Das Essen, ich hatte einen Burger mit Süßkartoffelpommes, war mit viel Sorgfalt und Können zubereitet. Eine klare Empfehlung.

  • 1/5 Till N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Service inadequate, with a salad the menages are on the table, asking twice is really poor. The salad and the steak ordered afterwards were almost unseasoned. Half of the steak of the two meals ordered was fried in English instead of medium, and the Bernais sauce was so sour that one lost your appetite. As a former restaurateur, I was very disappointed with the visit and especially with the price. But as you can hear, this quality is not an isolated case, whether for lunch or dinner. What a shame !! (Original) Service ungenügend, zu einem Salat gehören die Menagen mit auf den Tisch, 2 mal nachfragen ist echt dürftig. Der Salat und das anschließend bestellte Steak fast ungewürzt. Ein steak der beiden bestellten Essen war zur Hälfte englisch statt medium gebraten und die Soße Bernais war dermaßen sauer, daß einem der Appetit vergangen ist. Als ehemaliger Gastronom war ich schwer enttäuscht von dem Besuch und vorallem bei dem Preis. Aber wie man hört ist diese Qualität kein Einzelfall, egal ob mittags oder abends. Sehr schade!!
