| - Since moving to Calgary about 8 years ago, I have always wanted to go to jubilations. I had heard good things, and that it was a really fun group experience. So when trying to think of something fun and new to do with our friends, we looked into it. Once we found out they were doing a "friends reunion" we all decided to go, because we all loved the show "friends" growing up. So we figured it would be a fun Friday night activity, better than the regular dinner night out.
On the website it gives NO information on how long the shows run, it just says seating times between 6:15-6:45. We arrived at 6:30. We didn't get out of there until 11 pm!! It was horrible!!! Honestly, I will never ever go back because of how awkward the whole experience was.
The servers aka the "additional cast" are just creepy, not funny. At one point one of the girls came to pick up finished dinner plate- she commented on how I must like a lot of meat (I ordered the prime rib- very fatty), then started to lift the giant chunks of fat left over with a fork, and hovering above the plate, and making the same comment about loving meat to the point where the fat chunks almost fell into my lap? Wtf are you doing chick? In the show there was a part where "Joey" is running around in his boxers, this same girl was running after him trying to look up his boxers, and then afterwards ran around yelling "I SAW IT!!! I SAW IT!!" And then ran up to me and yelled that she saw his dick and it looked like Mount Everest. There were children there, it was beyond inappropriate. This isn't funny, it's just annoying. There were many many more awkward points with the servers, but it would take too long to explain them all.
The food was not good, soup too salty to eat, salad was about 6 lettuce leaves, a couple bacon bits, 4 croutons on the side and a little cup of dressing on the side. The beef was ok, and the cake was ok. Drinks were over priced and they messed ours up several times.
The show had a few funny parts, but honestly there is no reason in the world there needed to be such long breaks in between, and the show was just drawn out, with a lot of parts that made nooo sense at all, and related nothing to friends either.
At 10:00 we were begging to leave, but it really does feel like you're held hostage. We wanted to try to leave and clear up our bill for the drinks but were told we had to wait for the manager in the additional actors crew to spilt up our bill first. We didn't get to leave until 11 pm. My god what amateur show needs to be 4 1/2 hours long? Our legs were cramping up, it was sheer torture to be honest.
All in all this was about $100 each person, go spend your money else where people, not worth it! I'm giving 2 stars because if the servers weren't "acting" the experience could be better, as well as if they shortened it all up to about 2 hours, it could have been fun. But with the way things went, I feel legit ripped off. There is no reason to charge this amount for what we got.
