I went to Red Star Saturday (June 26) with my partner and another couple for dinner and drinks. The food was decent, I had the Farro salad. My partner and I had pork sliders and mini burgers. All tasted good, nothing incredible but overall it was decent. The patio is nice, shaded with umbrellas.
Unfortunately, that's where the experience ended. The service was pretty awful. For whatever reason, 3 servers were serving all 10 tables together. You would think that it would make the service better as someone would come by your table every 3 minutes to see if you needed anything. The servers did not communicate with each other or with the bar either. 5 drinks and 1 meal we ordered throughout the night never showed. Every round of drinks would have someone's missing. And what did eventually come to our table was wrong. We worried how messed up our bill would be and we were right to be. The first bill we got was for $600 between the 4 of us (the proper bill once amended for all was around $250). The server came back again with amended bills and there were still 3 random drinks on there that none of us had even attempted to order. She amended them again and told us she comped a drink on each of our bills but our bills were so messed up we felt like we ended up paying the same anyway. It would make more sense if servers owned their section rather than wandering around asking everyone if they want to order... and then not bringing anything.
It's honestly a shame since the patio and food are decent, but we...

Pub/restaurant/coffee shop/music lounge a few stair steps below Jasper Ave and 105th street. You can’t miss the big red star. Pub entrance after 5pm is to the left.
It’s my love affair between the perfect ambience, food quality and exceptional service experience.
The authenticity and hospitality served up with some intelligent conversation is unlike anything else.
From the perfect lighting, classic wood interior, sound of music and cozy warmth of the room temperature…this is my number one for peace, connection, work and contemplation.
A coffee shop by day, pub into the evening and music lounge experience on weekend nights, they serve up impeccable service and have an unequivocal vibe.
Their newly renovated washrooms are heavenly, and the COVID-19 precautionary measures are perfected down to a tee.
I highly recommend frequent visits, however their take out and pick up is just as tasty as the dine in.
A visit here will surely soothe your soul, no matter what time or day of the week (except for Sunday and Monday...they are closed to take...
Read moreLiterally went to this crazy place that I wouldn’t even visit, I blame myself for going there when I should’ve gone home, food took forever to arrive, I had to request a takeout instead and I told the server to bring my bill, I paid my bill plus tips and was already outside before the unprofessional server came out to stop me and accused me of not paying, I had to open my bank app as I didn’t collect the receipt when offered, this second hand embarrassment is so crazy💀 I don’t know what customers you have at that venue to make the server stop me, luckily the one star is for the Amazing security who deserves somewhere better than that...
