| - My wife and I visit the Browns Sociahouse restaurant in Chestermere every four months or so. In the past our meals and service have been excellent, but not on our visit on 19 Apr 2018.
Our server was very friendly, professional and thorough, she was the only positive part of our visit. We ordered Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings for an appetizer, they were properly cooked and well plated but they were far too salty and were also spiced with rosemary, an unexpected and unwanted spice, I ordered salt and pepper wings and expected salt and pepper wings. Nothing more nothing less.
My wife and I then split an entree, we ordered the large size Fettuccine Carbonara with Alfredo sauce, bacon, sweet peas, blackened chicken and garlic toast. This entree has also been excellent in the past, but not this night. The entree included approximately 1/2 of a chicken breast, split between the two of us and the pasta barely had any Alfredo sauce on it. There was NO Alfredo sauce in our bowls and the pasta was barely coated. If I wanted pasta without sauce, that is what I would have ordered. I brought this issue to the attention of our server, she apologized and stated there were other issues with the pasta dishes coming out of the kitchen and she would have to speak to the chefs.
Last but not least, our favourite dessert, the Oreo Jar. Again this dessert is normally excellent, but this time the bottom of the jar was barely covered with oreo crumbs, which normally take up about a 1/4 inch or more. Overall the dessert lacked a variety of textures because of the lack of oreo crumbs.
We were quite disappointed on this visit, but given the track record of past visits, we will give this location one more try to determine if our experience was a "one off" or a sign of decline for the restaurant.
