Went in for lunch. Meeting a group. Was seated fast and asked for drink orders fast. Was seated near the bay door when outdoor seating is but the door to outside kept blowing open. Food order came out relatively quick. Sconewich I ordered was covered in balsamic sauce so I couldn't pick it up and eat it. Did not expect that. Ordered a side of chili which was delicious.
Went here for a retirement dinner celebration. They weren't sure where to seat us even though I made a reservation and they were very short staffed. Took over 30 minutes to be able to order. Food was great and so was the view from our center table but on a Saturday night the service was a bit slow and it wasn't very busy overall.
Went here before a flight and had the fried bologna sandwich with cheese and mustard. I also had some type of fresh or house made soda/limeade which was delightful. They had so many favorites to recommend and I had a hard time choosing but was delighted with my final choice. I also got there about 10 minutes before the rush and this place is POPULAR. I can only imagine how packed it is when the weather is nice.
Went by here to watch some of the evening curling and the business seems to have some very distinct organizational challenges. People that setup, register, work with each of the activities seem very well organized and competent. The bar and food staff seem VERY understaffed and extremely disorganized, and overburdened with too many distinct functions happening simultaneously.
The bar selection of drinks was excellent though, and I think if you're going here for curling, axe throwing or fowling you're going to enjoy those activities and experience. I can't say the same for the bar or food.
Came here for coffee and a breakfast meeting. I'd already had breakfast but everything looked so good. I settled on a veggie breakfast pocket and would gladly go back for more. I also got a nutella flavored latte which had good flavor but wasn't specifically nutella to me. The book sales inside the building had a wide variety of very cheap books and the staff won't bother you if you're working while eating/drinking.
