   Garlic fingers App, A beer, Child breakfast, Olympic Stir fry, Brisket poutine - All amazing Beef Dip was only okay - the dip was overly sage Experience was great, service was great and perfectly timed. Never felt interrupted or intrusive. The forks were neat in esthetic, but awkward and heavy. Though served from a kids menu, the place isn’t a family restaurant but not unfriendly either.

   Service was slow but understandable as was Valentine’s Day. Food was good. Our child’s quesadilla came with chicken when we never asked for chicken so it did take a long time for them to remake it. Also drink refills were lacking

   First time visiting this restaurant. The atmosphere was excellent. Could actually hear each other talk. I had the Chicken Alfredo and my husband the Sheppard's Pie. The food quality and taste was excellent, but the portion sizes were small considering each portion was about $25. I paid extra for a piece of Texas toast garlic bread which should have been included considering the price of the meal. The restaurant itself was spacious and clean. I can see this restaurant having live bands playing or events due to the size and the location. Too bad there is no outside space for a patio. Our server seemed a bit nervous but that was fine. Maybe she was new to the job or the service industry. None the less she was pleasant. I'd recommend to my friends and we will be back again.

   + Greeted and seated quickly and only a brief wait before server came over. + Server was quite pleasant and tried to be helpful. - TWICE during our meal there was the sound of breaking dishes and some noticeable rushing around by service staff. When I asked our server about it, she responded "Really? I didn't hear anything. I work in a restaurant and that is kind of normal I guess ...". This was normal? + I ordered the Rib Eye special Medium. It was a perfect Medium. It was the best cooked steak I have had in K-W in a long time. + Good selection of beers domestic and imported, on tap and bottle/can - The steak also required a lot of cleanup to eat. Rib eye is a fattier cut and I am fine with that. I had to work around inedible silver-skin, large gristle concentrations, and sinew. There was a lot of it and the Medium steak was tougher to cut and eat than overcooked pork. It was veey disappointing. + My partner had the Chicken Parmigiana with extra cheese and finished in the oven. Her meal was excellent and I she will have it again. + Portion sizes are excellent and other patrons seemed quite happy with their meals. It was not a "cheap" meal but you do get a lot of food for the price. One appetizer - Tailgate Taters One main - Chicken parmigiana w/ extra cheese One special- Rib Eye steak (20oz) Two soft drinks One beer - 12oz Mill St. No desserts or other extras. ->> $90⁰⁰ before tip. We will probably go back. The food generally is good. My steak was the only dark spot and it was not really the kitchen's fault. After bringing up my disappointment with the steak, I told by my server that Alberta beef can be different.

   Don’t waste your time going here what they say in the reviews are true. We went in with an open mind. We were seated promptly and got our appetizer within 10 minutes. They kept the drinks coming, and the server was quite nice. After an hour, we still hadn’t gotten our food. There was only two of us. Everybody else had gotten their food that had come in later that us though. We decided to leave and just pay for our drinks. We took two bites of the appetizer it was absolutely disgusting in the server did not ask if anything was wrong with it. We will not be back.

   We have been now 4 times since it opened. All other times have been fantastic. This last time the French onion soup was burnt and so salty you could not eat it. We also waited 1.5 hours for our food. Not sure what happened here. No real apology from anyone. Pretty sad. This was for our grandsons 14th birthday which I told them upon making reservations so they could announce it and put the red lights on. They did put the lights on after I asked them too. Then not 5 minutes later they do it for someone else. It really upset me. If you don’t have grandkids you would not understand.
