| - Jamesons, oh Jamesons. You were so close to a 4 star review.
I stopped in last Sunday with my rec Ultimate Frisbee team. We were greeted promptly by one of the managers. He was great! He helped us set up some tables to accommodate 8 of us. One of the guys was hoping to catch the last bit of a curling match, so we had a prime spot right next to one of the TVs. He had no idea what channel the game was on, so the manager went in search of it. He didn't end up finding it (it could've possibly been over by that time), but he came back to the table to let us know a few minutes later.
I like the layout of this Jameson's location. Plenty of TVs around at a variety of angles if you're there to watch sports, or a section in the back that's a bit more private that would work well for a group booking.
Our server also started out on the right note. She was friendly, and timely with our drinks and food orders. I couldn't resist trying out the fried pickles on the starter menu with a house ale that was on special. The beer was ok, although not something I'd buy at full price. The pickles were tasty. Battered and deep fried, they were hot, but still maintained some pickle crunch when I bit into them.
When it came time for us to head out, our server had all but disappeared. Our table had been cleared, and we were pulling out our wallets to get ready to pay. It had been a good 20 minutes since we last saw her. In the end, we flagged down one of her coworkers who found her for us. She came over and was apologetic, but disappeared again after printing out our bills. Another server to the rescue, she saw our cards waiting and picked them up to ring them through for us. We happened to be sitting right behind the front desk and took a peek at the sections each server was assigned to. It looked like we were the only ones in her section. I'm not sure what was going on with her, but on a slow Sunday afternoon, there's no reason the service couldn't have been maintained from start to finish.
