| - It's been a long time since I last set foot in here, but it was the chosen destination for a birthday.
We arrived earlier than the rest of the party so we opted to get seats first. They sat us in an area where there was a either a shower or a birthday party going on, and there were a lot of new mothers, young children and just overall noise. I went to use the washroom and noticed that there was ample seating in many other parts of the restaurant which led me to think, "Why would they seat us here?" I know places seat guests based on who's turn it is for whichever server, but in this case.. come on.
We requested to have our table moved, and our server said ok no problem and then disappeared as quickly as he showed up. We grabbed our coats and tried to chase him but, alas, he was gone. So there we were, wandering aimlessly, looking for the server, who we never actually found. We ended up having to go back to the hostess.
So we were seated in a much nicer, quieter area of the place which was good.
Our new server came around to get our drink orders. We ordered 2 draft Heinekens and when they came, they were flat. We let her know, and she took our drinks away. She came back about 5 minutes later and informed us that they will not change the keg because the bartended claimed "no one else had any complaints".. so fine. We ordered bottles instead.
Now down to the food. Holy carb load. I mean, what was I really expecting, it was an Italian buffet. But the food here was mediocre at best. Salad bar, a mess and underwhelming. Only like 2 options for vegetables, one of which was an eggplant parmesan and the other a bland mixture of steamed vegetables. I do like my pasta but there wasn't very much to be excited about here. The dessert was even worse. A bunch of store bought crap, and faulty soft serve machines.
I don't think I would ever come back here (by choice anyway). Avoid at all costs. I'm not even really sure how it's still here.
