The Bel Lago Ristorante is located right downtown  Waterton. It was our 10th anniversary and the Bel Lago was recommended to us as the best place to eat in Waterton boasting the best service in town. I reserved the best table in the place the day before and we were looking forward to a really nice meal.

We did enjoy our table as it had the best view of the restaurant as well as the downtown activities.

The wine list was very limited but we did manage to find a good Malbec for you dry red wine lovers. We had mussels as an appetizer which were just OK. MY wife had the Osso Bucco which was a lamb rib dish, It was EXCELLENT! I ordered the rib steak medium rare. Sadly it came medium well to well. I showed the waitress who did not seem to know what the difference would be. She says “oh, is it not done right?” I did get a new plate after about 40 minutes that had a closer to medium rare steak on it. In the mean time my wife and I shared her lamb…..YUMMY! We then shared my steak which was neither as tasty or tender as I make at home.

The service was extremely slow and there was no apology whatsoever for the problem with the steak and the time we had to wait for a properly prepared one. I think this was about the first time EVER that I left a $0 tip. I am a very generous tipper for those who deserve it….this was not the case at all. Don’t be in a hurry at Waterton!

We rate the Bel Lago Ristorante in Waterton as a 2 1/2 star restaurant. Definitely NOT worth the $125 tab!
