| - This Boston Pizza is located in Shawnessy, SE of Calgary. When you walk through the doors, there are another two doors inside, one door to the lounge and one to the restaurant. When we dine at BPs, we usually head to the lounge.
This time around, when we visited, it was BUSY in the lounge because of the Grey Cup. We were definitley lucky because when we walked in, we found a empty booth among the crowd of people!
Moving on, it did take a while to get noticed, because it was quite busy but when we finally had a server, she was great! We ordered drinks and our food didn't take too long to come. They have a "Naughty but Nice" promotional menu, which this month they offer: Butternut squash and pumpkin soup, New York strip with prawns and scallops, Tuscan pork chops with fettucini. (Just an FYI!). I tried the butternut squash and pumpkin soup which was OK, though, I wouldn't get it again! I didn't really get much of the pumpkin taste. Also, I had the Nachos...they're exactly what you expect from a lounge. Spence got the buffalo chicken sandwich with caesar salad, he said it was pretty good. I'll take his word.....
Moreover, we had room for dessert. To get into the Christmas spirit they have the chocolate brownie with raspberry and chocolate drizzle with bits of candy cane on top. We weren't interested in the candy cane and raspberry, so we got the regular one. It's never a let down! Two soft moist brownies, drizzled with caramel and chocolate with two small vanilla bean ice cream scoops, toped with whipped cream! DELISH!
All in all, BPs is mediocre food, but it's what you expect! Its a good place to go to when you're hungry and don't know where to go. Lots of different selections from chicken, steaks, pastas, salads, sandwiches, soups, pizza.....
We shall be back!
