Overall:
Do not attend this place on special occasion.
It is good if you are planning to break up with someone - plenty of room to throw knives - have never seen a crowd there.
Great for single tourists trying to kill time over good food in am "Italian true wannabe" until the nearby bars open.
Has to be great for newcomers from Europe - the same "I do not care attitude".
Setting: My daughter's grad from High School.
Reasoning:
My child: "Mom, let's just go have a dinner where the food is good and they don't lock the doors on you until speeches are done". (as opposed to a banquet at Telus Center). And we had a special trip planned for her grad night, so just needed a good dinner before we left the city.
Food: The only good thing. Pretty fast for custom ordered. Awesome temperature (I ordered a selection of seafood on vegetables for an appetizer, it can be tricky - you still want your shrimp crispy sizzling yet the lettuce and lemon must be crispy cold). My baby's b/f (OMG, dont get me started on that one... Whatever made my girl's day happy) ordered a medium/well steak and it was served medium/well and he would not shut up about how delicious it was. I am really not so much jealous Mother. My ever pickiest eater ordered some fancy chicken. And... she ate it all. My God, the first one, really.
Service: aaaa.... ehhhh....
OK. I mean, my daughter is all dressed up in her custom ordered grad dress. The girl did not sleep the whole night. She was waiting for this day to make the Statement of Youth and Beauty and Achievement. The waitress could have at least inquired what the whole dress up was for. No. Not very smiley, either. Burger at MacDonalds is served with better attitude. Actually, no one makes you welcomed there. And the interior is shabby. The tablecloth had some poor bleach attempts evidence.
Pricing: GOOD. $ 110 for 3.
