Rocky View Brewing Company — Restaurant in Town of Cochrane

The vibe of this place is great, after hearing rave reviews I was excited to try it. To start with our server acted like he hated us from the minute we sat down, before words were even exchanged he acted like we were a personal inconvenience to be there. Every question was met with hostility. I want to premise we were sat inside and there were 2 tables inside when we sat down this was not a super busy evening. I understand everyone has a bad night as a server of many many years myself I get that but I wouldn’t even serve my worst enemy with the attitude he gave us. Now onto the food, the menu states about the chef and gluten-free food well the gluten-free crust was one of the worst I’ve ever had, the topping fell off the crust so easily it was almost impossible to eat. There are so many places doing way better crusts now it might be time to talk to the supplier. Gluten-free always cost more and I understand that but with the cost you expect it to at least be good. Normally I would have told the person taking care of us this but I couldn’t because I couldn’t stand another hostile encounter. Drinks were room temperature (I understand they were draft and this is a downside). Overall a very...

Food is actually not bad. The salad was fresh, the pizza was really good. Drinks were a little bit on the expensive side. Staff were friendly. What I did not like was that I was not told beforehand that because I was part of a big party group that there was an automatic gratuity/tip automatically added onto my drink that I bought without a choice of giving a tip. Having that forced on me was very unprofessional and something that made me feel uncomfortable. What if a person bought something knowing that they only had so much in their bank account but then was forced to pay an 18% gratuity which made it so that they weren't able to pay it. The reasoning was that it's common for every place to do this. In all the years that I have gone to business parties or events I've never had someone force a tip/ gradituity payment ever. So I'm not exactly overly impressed about that underhanded move. It would have been much more accepted if if the owner and the server were upfront about that and not just at the end when you're paying your stuff. Had I known that I would have chosen my payments a lot differently and my choices of what I wanted to splurge on much...

First I'll start with the good. the beer was good servers were okay the place looks like it could be fun on a Friday night -food was ok

Now the bad the Caesar was subpar the servers and kitchen were not trained for dinner rush if we were as big as a of a group as the one next to us, we would have been served much better. They placed more importance on their group. We were 6 adults and 2 kids. That seems like a big enough group to keep happy -if you can't provide all you can eat, don't make it a special for the night. We went for all you can eat fish and chips and I might as well have gone anywhere and paid $20 for two pieces of fish and a handful of chips. Basically what it seemed like is that if we wanted all you can eat fish and chips, you would have to order as much as you think you can eat right away. They were not ready by any means to be serving all you can eat fish and chips much less one portion for everyone

In the end my wife and I had to leave before the extra portion of all you can eat fish and chips arrived. Needless to say I did not eat all I could eat.

Honestly...
