This is one of the most popular restaurants in all of Kingston, and one of the few places in uptown for adults to party in big groups. I went on a Friday evening so it was busy. This was a last minute decision as I never dine alone and wanted something that was a step above McDonalds.

My server Sierra was very welcoming and friendly. I almost didn't notice I didn't get a refill of my water until after I paid my meal. I understand as a one party customer on the busiest night I'm not the highest priority and my meal came quickly which was very nice. However aside from checking in at the beginning to provide utensils which weren't there (the meal was brought to me by a different server) I never saw her until it was time to collect the Bill however when she did arrive and refilled my water she was courteous.

As for The King Kong Club that I ordered; the turkey was very dry and was mostly an unchopped breast that made it awkward to chew. It would make sense though if that was part of the design of the sandwich. I like club sandwiches and Peter Jackson's King Kong is one of my favourite movies. How could this go wrong (haha). There wasn't a lot of Mayo and the cheese just looked like a thin store bought cheese slice thrown on. The sandwich lacked flavour and cohesion which is a surprise given its selection on the menu as one of Raxx's favourites. Next time I might opt for the Teriyaki Stir Fry.

The pool hall was full by the time I finished my meal at 7:30 so I opted not to wait. I like the prices but heard there's nowhere to put your drink which I understand given the spills and stains that happen at other venues. Next time I'm back I'll check it out.

This was a huge improvement from my first and last visit 8 years ago when I went day drinking with a newfound co-worker who turned out to have some issues and was cutoff on my second drink. Next time's visit won't be as long a wait I'm sure. All the staff this time were extremely welcoming and contributed to a friendly atmosphere where everyone around was having a good time. This was much less loud than other bar & grills due to carpeting, open warehouse concept and higher ceilings. No wonder I've been picking so many people up there for years.
