| - In regards to Justin G.'s comment about having to walk through the restaurant to get to a host, this predicament has been solved. We were greeted at the mall entrance and asked whether we preferred the bar or dinning room. The dinning room was fairly quiet for an area with lots of traffic going past, but it was a Monday.
The service was attentive at first, but the drink hadn't been updated to reflect their lack of Molson M on tap. I was flexible with my drink choice, but I feel that that information should have been relayed to us beforehand. For dinner, we ordered the sausage ravioli and a cheeseburger. The waiter got my friend's cheeseburger order correct (minus this...add that...etc etc.) which is impressive, but the fries were ice cold and hard. I'm sure they were sitting for quite a while before being serve, a no no in my book. Fries are suppose to be the crispy goodness juxtaposition to a juicy burger. These fries were just sad and I didn't want to go back and steal some more (and usually I steal about half!). My ravioli weren't much better. The filling was dry, instead of being luxious and creamy. I've had better store bought ravioli. There were three sauces over the pasta, basil pesto, creamy garlic and a marinara sauce. The tomato sauce was bright and fresh, but it was overpowered by the pesto. It tasted to grassy and made the whole experience unenjoyable.
I visited this location about a year ago and had a delicous braised lamb dish. This was no longer on the menu (I would have gotten that if it was). And unfortunately the quality of the food didn't live up to my expectations. I might go back for drinks, but I think i will have to be a bit more choosy with my food.
