| - So, let's start with first impressions. The decor is trying to be upscale but really looks quite cheap, because the materials are cheap. All black and white and sparkly with absolutely no warm touches. This feeling of coolness carried through to the service which felt slightly condescending. We ordered the cajun calamari to start because I really wanted to try it, unfortunately it was slightly rubbery so overcooked yet somehow managed to have mushy wet breading as well. The dipping sauces were sour cream and frank's red hot sauce and the calamari was sprinkled with generic cajun spice mix. Not sure what I was expecting but I was unable to eat more than three pieces so we sent it back with all those complaints and all they did for us was take 15% off that item, so all in all I paid about $11 or so for an item we didn't even eat. All the server had to say was "that's weird, this is my favourite dish here, usually it's quite good." yeah, thanks for nothing.
That said, I gave this place 2 stars because the pizza was quite good, however, the beer selection leaves quite a lot to be desired which I find shocking for a pizza place. All in all, if you want decent pizza and don't want to travel too far if you're in town for a game, you might be happy enough with this place if you just stick to pizza and don't mind drinking swill. Oh, sorry I forgot they do have Guinness on the menu but were out of it that night, also not on tap.
The place doesn't even have a comment card or guest survey, so that combined with the service and the pathetic discount tells me they just don't care about their guest's experience at all and are ok with getting walk-ins only. Worst business plan ever, manager should be fired.
I was also pretty shocked when I got the bill, approx $100 for two people to eat pizza and drink a couple beers. I will never be back.
