Swiss Chalet on Valentines Day? We hadn’t planned on going out for dinner, so it was last minute thing. When we got to the restaurant, there was a bit o a lineup, and we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table, which wasn’t too bad.
SWMBO chose the Chicken & Shrimp with a Rice Pilaf. It was the usual, good rotisserie chicken (white meat for her), with about eight plump, grilled garlic shrimp. A tasty dish.
I selected the Sweet Heat Salad. Lots of colours, textures, and flavours, with the Mandarin oranges, roasted red peppers, julienned carrots, corn and lettuce, topped with a sliced rotisserie chicken breast, on top of a bed of green lettuce. The “heat” comes from a Thai glaze on the chicken, and the salad had a lime kiwi dressing. My mouth was happy.
Chicken Empire. This place has become one of my all time favorite places for dinner. The biscuits and gravy are free with soup and food, buns are amazing, and even their coffee is good!!
I really dig the head waitress. She makes me think of walking into some small town diner. Even the locals gave me that feeling.
If you are some Oriental food snob, this is not a place for you, but if you like a good, cheap, and hearty dinner where kids get a break (and so does my wallet) then check Swiss Chalets out.
This past Thursday I received an e-mail from Swiss Chalet promoting their line of gift cards for the holiday season. Near the bottom of the e-mail was a promotion for Scene Card holders could obtain 6 points for every dollar spent on gift cards to Swiss Chalet, Harvey's, Milestones, Kelsey's and Montana's. So looking for a gift for one my friends I thought this would be a great idea. After hitting our local Zellers on Friday night we cruised over to Swiss Chalet (9350 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill) for some chicken and a gift card. The wait for dine in was 30 minutes to be seated. We inquired about the gift card and was told it was at the take out only. So about face and headed towards the door where the take out was. We stood in line for about ten minutes to order the chicken.
