Read moreWe visited The Shed in Kimberley, BC with a group of ten and hoped to enjoy a family dinner. When we inquired about seating, a staff member told us they didn’t take reservations or maintain a list but suggested we return in 30–45 minutes. At the time, there were two open tables that could have accommodated us, but we were told someone else was “coming in behind us” to take one.
Concerned about the restaurant’s policy that minors aren’t allowed after 9 PM (and it was already 7 PM), my mom asked if we could at least seat our kids early and get their orders in. We were able to seat eight of our group, but shortly after, the same staff member came over to question our children’s ages. She then insisted one child couldn’t sit along the ledge of our table, even though she was seated next to her adult sister and part of our group.
At that point, it felt very clear that our presence wasn’t welcome. Despite my mom’s efforts to make it work, I ended up taking my kids and leaving. The situation was disappointing—not because we weren’t seated immediately, but because the staff made no genuine effort to accommodate us. It felt like we were being discouraged from dining...
Read moreBig fan of the Shed! When I first moved to Kimberley, the shed was the place I met most of my current friends. The atmosphere the shed provides is unmatched and so welcoming! The staff, specifically the servers Carli, Rachel, and Sara, are so diligent and pleasant to be around. And don't get me started on the food! It is so good and fairly priced for the quality! I have dreams about the corn salad and boss hog! As well, the assortment of on tap rotating beers is ideal after a long day of Adventuring in the kootenays! On Sundays, you cannot miss bingo - Jesse will make you laugh until you cry! The joy sheddy bingo brings me is unmatched and I wish everyone could experience it! But if you are a stick in the mud, please do not burden the staff and patrons who enjoy happiness. I've noticed some folk lately in the shed who feel the need to treat servers like they are not humans, it's pretty disgusting - if you or someone you know is like that in any establishment, give your head a shake and go kick rocks :) anywho, thank you shed for being a welcoming ground for all members of the community and visitors...
