Let me lay it all out:
Our friend is new to Calgay so we wanted to give him a fun Saturday.
Insert Downtown Adventure!
Ending the day we wanted to grab a cold beer - We just started walking down Stephen Ave ... then it started raining ... and we had a dog.
Insert Mad Dash to closest patio.
Welcome to Libertine.
Once we hooked our poochie up & gave her water we all got settled at our table. After waiting about 10 minutes a less then enthustic waitress came and took our beverage order. My husband and our friend both ordered pints and I asked for a glass fo water with lemon. She looked at me like I had six heads .... After an awkard pause she even asked me to repeat what I had asked for.
Maybe its because Im from Saint John, NB but where I come from waitresses are humble, nice and do anything to give the customer a great expierence. Because in the end, we are the reason you have a job. Our waitess acted like we were bothering her - to get a refil on my water my husband had to walk up to the bar with my glass ... All this and we havent even ordered yet.
Then we ordered. I was excited, the menu was small but had a lot of things we were excited to try.
We started off with QUESO FUNDIDO.
So umimpressed. I was so excited for the creamy 4 cheese sauce - but when it got to our table it was watery and cold. Maybe im not cool enought to get the "unique food" thing .. but I thought it would have been so much better warm and made with more cheese, i feel like to help cut cost they cut out real cheese. Also, it says it comes with salsa frecso (i think that means salsa ..) and ours came with none. Would have loved to tell this to our waitress but she didnt come back. The corn chips were normal ... I was thinking maybe homemade, but no - out of the bag served with cheese sauce in a cast iron frying pan. WHY THE PAN IF YOUR NOT GOING TO USE IT lol They focus all their energy on making the menu they forget about the follow throug
Ive worked at many chain restaurants and the number one rule is "2 bite check back" . I hate to admit it, but if a huge chain like Pizza Hut can get it together to check on their guests, a fancy place like the public house could. Especially when there were only a handful of people. I would have loved to ask for it to be heated up, or if it was supposed to be served that way or if i could please get some salsa fresco, whatever that means (was stoked to learn from my waitress though)
My husband and our friend wanted to try the duck poppers but after being almost told no by our waitess, did not.
Honestly, we just wanted to get out of there. And it was apparent that our waitess also wanted us out of there.
I heard from a friend you can find really good vegan treats here - thumbs up to the $5 fried chickpeas! - only I didnt get to try it because our waitress hated us.
I felt terrible this was Connors (our friends) first restaurant expierence in Calgary. Especially after we gloat about what a fun expierence Stephen Ave can be and how fun the waitesses are.
Will not be going back. Will not take anymore friends there.
Oh, and words of wisdom to our waitress: Pull the stick out of your ass.
