Dinner

The dining experience at Fairmont Waterfront's Arc restaurant may not be worth the high prices according to some of our guests' reviews.

The steak tartar was a standout but some felt that the actual steaks were just average. Additionally, some guests found the hotel restaurant's food to be appealing but lacked proper preparation resulting in cold dishes. Unfortunately, the restaurant's noisy atmosphere made it difficult for some to relax so they chose to dine elsewhere.
