Port Moody Legion Club 119 — Restaurant in Port Moody

[Service scored low due to water policy Vs. 5 star interaction. We will not spend money on food due to policy.]

We came to this Legion to attend a Saturday night salsa dance event.  We regularly attend Legion dance events in Vernon, Enderby, and Salmon Arm.  Ar these smaller events, water and coffee is freely available. With the same entry fee, and four times the attendees, one would think the Port Moody Legion would be supportive of the event.

On arrival, before the event start, I went to the bar to order two beverages, along with glasses of water. I was informed that management had just instigated a policy of only selling bottled water. I have run across this policy before, when one is only requesting water. I have never been refused water with a meal or a beverage order before.

To reinforce a poor management decision, the manager chose not to be available for the inauguration of this policy.  This is unfair to the employees, who must face the sour customers. Luckily, the bartender had good customer service skills dealing with the unfortunate position he was placed in.  I guess the bartender will either find a better establishment for employment or become the manager at this Legion.

That said, there is no mistaking or missing the "Legion awesomeness" upon your first glance in the place; clearly the Legion mission to honour our Vets is not overlooked here.

As for the food? Just like you hoped it would be. Simply the best combo of "Legion home cooking" combined with that pub grub you crave on a Saturday night.

Can't wait for the darts and pool tables to open; this is going to be my...

I have read the reviews and thought I would give it a try. Not the friendliest of places.Not sure if you have to be a member to get service. The first time I had a very salty stuffed Yorkshire. Makes you want to drink more. The last time we were in, we got our own menu and waited to order. The server was serving others and chatting it up. She passed us a few times not making contact. Finally we got up to leave. That's when she rushed over apologizing. Too little too late. Sorry but are so many other places in Port...
