Absolutely terrible service. Waited forever to actually order. The server was fairly friendly, if not slow and inattentive. Then to top things off, someone sitting at the next table ordered the same thing I did earlier, waited far less than I did for my food, and the manager told him his food would be comped. I guess Ceili's in Calgary is synonymous with terrible service, regardless of location. Shame on me for giving this location a chance when other locations let me down so much.
It wasn't all bad. I had the Shepherds Pie, and it was actually quite good. Very hot when it arrived. The salad along with it was good as well. Not a typical house salad, with an interesting vinaigrette dressing. Asking about the salad was about the only time the server spoke more than two words.
Unfortunately the food wasn't enough to make me want to come back. I will continue trying more places as I explore downtown! But someone kick me if I try Ceili's on 4th.
