Reviews for Sun of a Beach in Sylvan Lake, AB
Loved it here! We sat on the rooftop patio, it was. Good time of day so the flies weren't hectic. The drinks were phenomenal! We... got the Mermaid fish bowl and the sangria! Both delicious,tasty and refreshing! For food we got the chicken burger and thesignature SOB burger. So filling and the price to portion ratio is so great. Our server Gracie was a gem. Highly recommend! ?? Read more
Great experience, we will be back! Excellent, attentive service (hard to find lakeside), good cold drinks, and top notch food.... The new patio addition has perfect shade for a hot day. Kid's meals and slushies were the best we've had anywhere. Read more
Waited 30 minutes to get seated on a partially busy day, however half the seats on the ground floor at least, were unoccupied... while about 3-4 groups of people are left waiting to be seated. We get seated once our given buzzer buzzes, and then it takesabout 5-10 more minutes for our server (Kelly) to even ask us about drinks. We order appetizers and main courses, admittedly ina hurry as we were hungry, and she made us feel like we were rushing her instead of trying to understand that we waited(pre-decided 30 minutes ago) and it took another 25-30 minutes just for the appetizers to come out, all accurate times as weused a stopwatch. Entrees came shortly after. The food was about a 5/10 at most. We ordered the white pasta, the sauce was toostarchy. I added grilled prawns to my order and they were cooked fine but under seasoned, also felt like it was pricey for 5-6prawns for an additional $12. Had the steak tacos and it was dry, maybe over cooked, under seasoned as well. The fish tacos weredecent, maybe just a little too much chopped tomatoes on it but that?s just preference. The fish was cooked good. We alsoordered a steak sandwich and it was the best out of all the things we ordered, seasoned well and cooked the way we asked, mediumrare. The grilled cheese was grilled cheese, and it was enjoyed by whoever ate it. Overall the experience was rather dull, longwaits, below average food for their prices ($180 food order and left a $10 tip,) and we felt a little neglected more thananything. Our server asked us if we wanted the bill and we said yes. On her way back to give us the bill, she chatted with twoother customers (which was across from our table) with the bill and the card reader in hand, stayed and chatted for about 3minutes, then finally turning around to hand us our bill. All this was right in front of us. The only good things to take out ofit was, they had good presentations for their food and drink, it was very pretty. Portion sizes were decent a Read more
Amazing place! Was there in June so could enjoy the place without crowds. Food: delicious, portions are just fine so if you are... not SO hungry - 1 dish might be enough. The staff is so nice and friendly. The waiter Zuleyma is the best! Highly recommend tocheck out the place! Read more
Went here on a Saturday for lunch and it was not too busy. I love the atmosphere of the place, it?s very clean and inviting, and... they play great music. The service was quick and the server was friendly. The drinks were delicious and the price is what youwould expect at a restaurant. I had the fish tacos which were INCREDIBLE. The fish was tasty and crispy, the pico de Gallo wasso fresh, and the sauce was creamy and delicious. The portion size looks small compared to other menu items but it wassurprisingly filling and I had to take one taco home. A couple of my friends ordered pizza which looked phenomenal. Thisrestaurant has their own pizza oven so you know you?re paying for some good quality pizza. My friends said it was absolutelydelicious. The fish and chips also looked just as good. Took a star off because the truffle parm fries were soggy and thechicken Caesar salad was not very good. Overall, I would definitely eat here again and I recommend this place to others. Read more
A little diamond for great pub style eclectic food. We've been going to Sylvan Lake several years and we usually always bring... our own food for picnic. We had the pleasure of eating here during the Victoria long weekend. Nice venue clean, modern. We hadto wait around about 10 minutes for a table during the rush hour over the lunch period. Asked for the rooftop balcony or acubicle on the ground floor and the cubicle came up first. There is an option to open the windows which are on runners in therestaurant to the street if you would like that. Our food of choice, the homestyle burger, cajun chicken burger their famousparmesan fries and their fish tacos. The fries are phenomenal lighting crisp on the exterior and fluffy on the interior with agenerous portion of Parmesan cheese on top. The fish tacos are excellent just be prepared not to be able to eat politely withoutmaking a mess but they are so enjoyable great flavors and they add a wonderful avocado chipotle sauce, homestyle Burger tasty.The Cajun chicken was rather bland. They would have received a five-star but we were not provided any utensils and had to waitsometime in addition to asking twice. The waitress that served us unfortunately cannot remember her name seemed somewhatperplexed and uncomfortable when we wanted to change our options from the menu which made us feel a little uncomfortable.Lastly, the drinks for Peach Bellini slush was not a slush. Mia the supervisor does an excellent job to ensure you have whatyou need and the food is of good quality. I did advise her that when my friends visit from the UK I promise to bring them backto this restaurant. I recommend this restaurant. Read more

We went on a little mini midweek getaway. Deciding on lunch at Son of a Beach was a great decision. The staff was amazing and... attentive to our needs. The food was good the atmosphere was great as well as having the lake right across the street. The decorwas on point. Especially if you were looking for the beach vibe. I would definitely recommend giving it a try and taking a walkdown the pier at the lake afterwards or stopping for ice cream. Read more
