The boyfriend and I were headed out for date night and went to our fave spot, The Winkin’ Owl. We forgot they had a live band and the sound was so loud it was uncomfortable to say the least. The band itself was phenomenal but the volume was so extreme, it was more for an elderly couple whom struggles to hear and not for fully functioning ears that didn’t want to scream over a short table at one another.
We figured, let’s try something new. We pulled into the parking lot which was clean and well maintained. We walked to the front door and had a very well kept elderly man say, “come on in to the best looking couple I’ve seen in awhile.”
We walked into a very nice vibe with classic music and an MC we later found out to be a man named Travis. We sat at a table near the entrance and were soon greeted by a stunning server we later learned, named Jasmine.
Jasmine was very attentive, knowledgeable, and personal.
The boyfriend ordered Mac and cheese bites to start. He likes his KD lol. I can’t stand KD but the bites were actually great and the chipotle dip was delicious.
I ordered a half order of nachos with ground beef and extra cheese, no olives. The boyfriend had a double decker burger with sautéed onions, jalapeños, donair meat, and an egg with a tater tot poutine.
I didn’t get to try his burger because that disappeared quickly, but the tater tot I grabbed from his poutine was fantastic.
My nachos were perfect and I was happy.
MC Travis was very in tune with the crowd and noticed I was looking at a wheel on the stage and wondered what people were stamping at their tables. There was a music bingo happening and he asked if we wanted to play. Absolutely we did. Sounded fun. He had cards and dabbers brought over and we joined in the game.
We didn’t win but had a blast playing while we enjoyed our meal.
We finished eating and I asked Jasmine for a to go box. She was amazing a grabbed a pizza box with to go ramekin lids for the sour cream and salsa.
** This is a smart server!! A customer should never have to ask for lids to ramekins to bring home. **
We did not once have to ask for ketchup, salt, pepper, side plates, napkins, cutlery, extra napkins, etc. Jasmine checked on us multiple times throughout our meal without being intrusive and was the prime example of what a server should be.
Hats off to this entire crew!! They’re amazing!
All servers in Calgary should be trained like Jasmine. Great job doll!! You rocked it!!
Oh!! And I went to the bathroom before we left and OMG their bathroom was fully stocked, clean, and beautiful!!
Mind blown!
See you next date night...
Read moreWent with my girlfriend and sister on the weekend. The redhead waitress spilled a whole beer on me and tried to blame my sister for hitting her hand. While sitting there I saw what happened and my sister grazed her hand, like a soft rub by accident and the waitress freaked out and let go of the whole beer right into my lap. Without apologizing she left the table immediately (assuming she went to grab a mop) I went to the bathroom to line my pants with paper towel as the whole beer was emptied onto my pants, sweater and shirt. By the time I came out she was walking passed me (still hasn't cleaned up the mess around and on the table and my chair) she says it was "her fault" meaning my sister.
Finally after using the paper towel I brought out to dry myself, I used to clean up a little bit of the huge mess on the chair I was sitting on and some of the table she still hasn't shown up.
The lady hosting karaoke comes up to apologize even though she had nothing to do with it and after a couple minutes the waitress finally comes back with a mop to clean up, still says nothing and doesn't even look at me she mops up the beer and leaves again. We ask for bill, still left with no apology, she brings the bill, charges the full amount and still says nothing.
I was at Ieast expecting an apology and finally got one (from the bartender) after I spoke to the bartender to explain the situation and I left feeling extremely disappointed with the lack of customer...
Read moreI heard the wings and pizza were great here. I ordered a 14 inch Reagal Beagle donair pizza. The deluxe one. It's supposed to come with cheese, donair meat, black olives, onion, fresh tomato, fresh lettuce and sweet donair sauce. It's also supposed to come with TEN "free" wings. I also ordered a side of hot sauce. Well I picked my order up for $42 dollars and change. Thought thats a bit pricey for what you get but hopefully it will make up in quality. Got it home and guess what? Only got 9 out of those 10 "free" wings. And my pizza? Well someone forgot the fresh tomato, fresh lettuce and donair sauce on it. Phoned and talked to the guy that I ordered from, he said the TEN "free" wings are by weight? So that's why I got 9...riiight. Then why say (6)(8)(10) "free" wings for the 3 different sizes of pizzas? Theres no mention of weight there....Hmmm. Also told him about the three missing items on my pizza. He didn't seem to care. One thing here too, I was a chef for years. I understand rushes. I understand things can get missed when you are busy. When I walked in it was dead as a doornail in there. For that money and what I got and not being busy (not even close to mid range pizza and wings, best thing I got there was the hot sauce.) and the checked out response when I called to talk about it. This place is not worth it. Not your time, your money, or your patronage. Unless you want to be duped. I will not be back. And I will tell...
