| - A few friends and I decided to come here for dinner before we went to the movies (hooray for recliner theatre!). When we first arrived, the Canadian decor was definitely noticeable. The hockey stick railing and the mini Calgary Tower in one corner were a fun touch and worked well with the theme of this place. We found a nice spot and waited for someone to come by. We waited....and waited....and waited. Finally, our server came over and promptly gave us menus and took our drink order. She dropped our drinks off quickly, but then we had to flag her down to take our food order. That seemed to be the theme of the night. We were constantly looking for someone to acknowledge us. Don't get me wrong, the server was nice when she came by. But she lacked a sense of urgency and if we weren't waving at her, she probably would've never come back to check on us. It was busy when we arrived, so perhaps service was slow because of that? But once it cleared out, service really didn't get any better. So I don't know what was going on there.
All that aside, onto the food and drinks portion of this review! I had a red wine sangria and it was verrrry strong. I like strong drinks so I enjoyed it. But if you prefer something sweet that doesn't taste like alcohol, don't order the sangria. My friend's sister got a peach Bellini and it was really sugary. She likes sweet drinks, but found this to be almost too sweet. I ordered the Pulled Pork Poutine. It was HUGE! Our server warned me it was quite large, and I'm glad she told me that so I didn't order too much food. I liked the poutine. A good amount of gravy and pulled pork was tender. Was it the best poutine I've ever had? No, but it still had nice flavor to it. My two friends both got the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. They both found it had waaay too many onions in it and the onions overpowered everything else in the wrap. They were disappointed by the dish and said they wouldn't order it again.
Next time I am in the area, perhaps I would come here again for a quick bite. But the meal just wasn't outstanding, so I would probably just stick to snack food or poutine here.
