Terrible experience.
I was told how to order my drink and salad. I was denied my request for "dressing on the side". Was told the salad would be "lightly dressed". The salad was swimming in dressing / barely edible.
payment got all messed up. Our credit card was charged but for someone else's bill. We now have 3 charges on our credit card and should be one, working that out.
Food was good BUT our waiter was horribel and acted like he was better than us and very condescening!! When we tried to ask a question or make a request, he made faces like he was so irritated with us. It was tough!!! Jonathan was his name.

We have eaten at La Fontanella on Winkler several times now. The last time was last night for Mother's Day. It is a great "Special Occasion" restaurant. They have a private room where you can have a large party seated. Mon-Thur. they have a great happy hour special if you are seated by 4:45pm. On Wednesdays they have Jazz entertainment.
We highly recommend that restaurant.

The food is always excellent. Servers can make such a difference in the dining experience. We have had excellent ones for the most part. Last night was not one of those times.
