| - I came here with a couple people to join some friends who were already here. After we joined them at the table the bad service began. Not only were we never even greeted by our server, but we were ignored long enough for each of us to take a turn reading in full the one menu that had been left on the table. Finally after what had to be at least 20 minutes we succeeded in flagging down the server to take our orders. When we could get her to come to the table she was nice enough, she just wasn't very observant leading us to have to flag her down more often then I care for.
The food itself was ok. It tasted fine, like most standard pub fare, there was just nothing memorable about it. After we had finished our server informed us that she was finishing for the night and would have to bill us out. We wanted to order some more drinks and dessert, but since she hadn't offered this option we decided we would order from the next server.
At this point a band was setting up so we moved to a further table so it wouldn't be too loud to talk. Well the service in the new section made me feel like I was dining in the ritz before. After we finished what beer we had left we waited for our server. Not only did she never greet us, but I had the pleasure of watching her "work". She would visit one table, always walking with her eyes cast down so I couldn't catch her attention, and take their order returning to the bar to wait for the drinks to be made, then delivering them. This continued at the slowest pace possible, and not once did she look up at any other table while taking care of the one she was dealing with at that moment. I watched as three separate tables sat down, grew tired of never being served and left. Eventually I checked the time stamp on my bill from our previous table and was shocked that we had been waiting for 43 minutes without even being looked at. And with that we saw ourselves out to find a place that actually wanted our business.
I am graciously giving pub Saint Paul one star because they do have a wonderful view of the water since they have large open windows and are situated on the second floor. But I can only suggest sitting there if you don't mind a dozen loonie sized spiders building webs over your head and periodically coming down to run on the table or nest in your hair.
After my experience, the only possible reason that I can understand why the standards are so abysmally low here is because the management and staff want to get the pub shut down as fast as possible. If this is the case they should keep up the bad work and they will reach their goal soon. As for my friends and I, never again.
