I been wanting to come to this place since I saw it open but it was always out of my way for whatever reason. Me and my cousin finally came here about 2 weeks ago and I can say that I wasn't disappointed.
The service - This is the only restaurant I've been to lately where the hostess sits outside and greets you. A few days before I actually came to eat I spoke to a hostess going by the name "Peach". She was nice and quite informative. The one who seated me did not give her name but she was friendly too. I feel bad because I forgot my server's name, she was great. Not sure if she just liked the idea of being recorded or if she's always like that but I found her to be a gem. She deserves a few raises because she makes people want to come back.
The place - The atmosphere inside is very busy but in a friendly way with lively people. Though this next part is likely by design to make you mingle with people but I feel as though some of the seats are too close to the next table. If I took the initial seat the hostess sat me at, my bum would've rubbed against the girl's back that was sitting behind me everytime i sat up. Happy I got seated at a more spacious area. The music was a little loud and I swear they only played rock, country and pop until halfway into my visit here before they put on about 3 rap songs and 2 hip hop songs. I won't hold the music choices against them though.
The food - first thing I gotta say is that they don't use debit. Only cash or credit card and I was told that's so this establishment can keep the prices low. Considering the prices......I believe more places should use this practice because I though everything was better than just "reasonably priced". On to the food.
So, I started with some tacos for an appetizer and my main was a chicken sandwich with Caesar salad on the side, both of these were good, no complaints. The dessert was cheesecake, which I love all forms of no matter what. That being said, I don't know if it was mint or another herb on top but instead of chopping it up, they should just lay 2 full leaves on top. It's alot more esthetically pleasing.
The drinks - this is clearly where they accel at this place. All the drinks I had tasted very good, usually I would have something to complain about in terms of the alcohol amount or just the taste of the cocktail but this one place showed me something good in every drink I had. Good job on that.
Closing remarks - somewhat loud music but still a decent playlist, good food, great service, great drinks, easy to access location. Nothing much to complain about but this place is more of a bar than a restaurant so temper down your wardobe as such and majority of the crowd on that day were young, not sure if that's the norm here or not
I recommend coming here for the service over everything else but this place is solid all around, you won't be disappointed and you might make a...
ย ย ย Read moreMy delivery experience with Uber Eats and this restaurant- El furniture warehouse was very disappointing. I am not sure about what went wrong- could be the delivery person or the restaurant itself. First, I had placed the order not knowing itโs like 30 minutes away from my place. I realized nobodyโs going o want to pick it up as I had one that accepted it but later cancelled. I was frustrated that I ended up deciding not to cancel. However, UBER wonโt let me refund in full because it says the restaurant has already started preparing the food. That is only in the span of like about 2 minutes. So quick :(. So yeah moving on a driver finally accepted it. I was thankful. When the food arrived, I AM SO DISPLEASED ABOUT THE QUANTITY AND FOOD QUALITY. Opening the boxes the burgers looked like rawdogged. The Works 2.0 only had ONE Patty but in the description, it said TWO. Presentation was so poor. I didnโt even get any sides for the burgers. But the only thing that frustrated me is their chicken wings. Not only that the wings are not that good, THEY GAVE US 7 PCS OF BABY CHICKEN TINY WINGS!!! I freaked out. Description says 1lb but that is no 1lb to me. Tell me the worst chicken wing place in Edmonton and I would say that is by far better than EL FURNITURE WAREHOUSE WINGS!!! I paid like $14 plus tax for 7 pieces of wings, I wonder if those are special kind of wings from a rare specie of chicken- clearly I am mad. At this economy, $2 baby chicken wings is wild. My overall food order I paid like $90 for two below par burgers, wings, and pasta. That is all. 4 items.
I am glad the rigatoni pasta is ok though. Which is the only thing that is good in my order. This place is not recommendable for the price. Please improve your food quality. This is my first time ordering at this โrestaurantโ and I am convinced I would rather try other new places. I also decided to stop using Uber eats after...
ย ย ย Read moreI came here on a whim, I had a dream about a furniture store the night prior, and I thought this was A. A sign, and B. A furniture store, when I arrived on Jasper Ave. It turns out it was a restaurant/dive bar! I asked the hostess more about the background, the name etc. She was kind, but she didn't know the origin story, but she let me ramble on about my piqued interest, and let me know that I was in for "good food for cheap." It took me awhile to acclimate to the atmosphere, I'm not the bar-type, and I don't like to drink in public... it was busy, she sat me at the bar... The menu was straightforward, but I don't remember seeing non alcoholic drinks listed. I'm a bit of daft at times, with crippling timidity, so it was difficult for me to grab one of the barmen to order, once I got that sorted... I got the taco-trio which was good, especially for about $8. Bartenders were pretty cool, they all seemed unique and trendy. It was difficult to tell who was an employee vs customer at times, it seemed like there were at least 15 different women waitressing, but It was busy so that makes sense... but there wasn't a specific dress code, but I guess I'm in kindergarten or something and need my hand held... Bathrooms are single stalled rooms which is great. The layout is kind of confusing and it's a little dark. There's a DJ playing loud music, some current and some old school throwbacks, with music videos on the TV displays which... like... over sports anyday... I like putting on throwback music videos with friends, that's a good time for me. I have some people in mind that I would bring here, but wouldn't come again without chaperone...you know, someone who can hold my hand and order for...
