The Point Public House — Restaurant in Calgary

This is a great establishment. Have come here so many times over the years and we make almost every Monday and Wednesday for wings. However the last few times we’ve come in we’ve had Cambridge as our server. She’s seemed to have a very gross attitude towards us and other customers. We’ve ignored it but finally today we came in on a Monday afternoon and it was dead with Cambridge as the only server on the floor. First off it took her ten minutes to even come and greet us (she so clearly seen us and looked our direction many times) and when she came up to us finally she didn’t even greet us. Said “what are we drinking” after slamming the menus down on the table. And then walked away. Gave me dirty looks from the bar. and then when she came back with our drinks, she walked away without saying a word even though we had been ready to order before she even came to us the first time. We ended up by leaving to go somewhere else because the service was brutally rude and super awkward. When I asked for her name to maybe try and discuss this with a manager she scoffed at me. She used to be friendly with a positive attitude who would wave and say hello when we came in but she clearly cannot keep her life separate from work. If we walk in again and she’s the only server there we will not be staying. Crazy to be treated that way when the servers all know us, and the amount of money we have tipped them over the years. Super disappointed. Hopefully someone discusses this with Cambridge as I’m sure we are not the only ones who have noticed her...

The food that offered here is not impressive, especially for the hefty price tag! And the server did not seem knowledgeable about their drinks!!! I asked about available non-alcohol drinks, and she referred me to their menu. When I couldn’t find the list, she showed me where it might be and did not know about what they are like.

1- Rib Dip ($23): Alberta rib eye sounds great, right? I had more fried onions in there than meat. And I am not sure if it was ground beef or whatever it was. Very excited about baguette, but instead I got sub sandwich bun!!! And Daisy Chain drink came in a tiny tall glass, filled up with a LOT of ice. Not much liquid in there either $9!! The part I enjoyed the most was their yam fries, which I believe it was right out of the frozen bag, but decent

2- Chicken Shawarma ($22): we asked if the salad with onions would be on the side, and not in the wrap, and were told that it would come on the side. However, we got onions in the wrap!! The hummus came in a shot size plastic container and was runny like salad dressing. Drink was blood orange margarita, in a short glass with lots of ice again $16 and again the best part of this meal was yam fries

3- Point Burger ($21): we did not find this meal special at all, very tasteless burger!!! Beer was good...

Went on a Saturday afternoon (around 5 pm). Even with the weather being very Calgary-like, the pub was very busy when we arrived and busier as we left.

We decided that it was a pick and mix day. We ordered 2 (large) orders of wings (one wet, one dry) that came with the usual veggie-support. The wings were well cooked, with the dry having a satisfying crust and both pleasing to the eye. They tasted great and had a nice meat to bone ratio. We also ordered the ribs, which were very tasty and a bucket of lager chips that were both crisp and had a nice chew.

My wife decided to order the French onion soup. It came piping hot, in a large bowl, and capped with a puff pastry roof made for tearing and dipping. This looked nice and was certified high on the yummy scale.

There is a nice selection of on-tap and bottled beers that should suit every taste. I found the Zero Issues Nemesis most agreeable.

The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient and definitely added to the overall experience. The prices are reasonable.

All in all, it is a great place for a meal and to enjoy a couple of hours away from the normal routine. We've been quite a few times (fairly regularly since it was still the Point and Feather) and will definitely visit again. You...
