Review from Kristin K.
Edmonton, AB
Arrived at noon and found the parking lot packed but the restaurant pleasantly spacious.
We ordered one of their new pizzas - the Meat Overload and was pleasantly surprised by both the flavour, variety, and amount of meat. I'm not usually a meaty kind of girl but hubby was super excited to try this one! I like the crust - chewy but light and the sauce was flavourful!
My toddler had a kids' meal of chicken strips with steamed veggies for a side and there are onions in the veggies - BIG THUMBS DOWN! What toddler likes steamed red onions in their veggies! Also - the dessert options with her kids meal were truly odd - my daughter chose the chocolate pizza which turned out to be a little chocolate in the shape of a pizza (think chocolate coin) - not what I expect at a restaurant. Perhaps pictures of the options would be helpful. I mean - they didn't even offer a small scoop of ice cream as an option for the kids dessert and how much could that really cost them?
They would get 4 stars for the pizza but 2 stars on the toddler meal so it averages out to 3 stars for my overall review.
Service was a bit slow - I inquired about eggs in the meatballs because my baby has an egg allergy and it took nearly 10 minutes for the server to get back to me. At first she said there wouldn't be eggs in meatballs but I asked her to check with the chef anyway, and sure enough, their ingredient book listed it - not too surprising as eggs are frequently used as a binding agent.
Hubby and I shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert which was delicious but the ice cream scoop on top amounted to maybe 5-6 spoonfuls - quite pitiful. The Sticky Toffee itself was yummy but we could have used a little more ice cream.
As a side note, I took my daughter to the women's washroom which smelled atrocious! Whatever chemical they used in there smelled like a freaking urine cake - I seriously wanted to vomit.
So I'm left 50/50 on this one - Pizza was quite good, toddler meal was disappointing, and dessert was good but needed more ice cream. We would have liked to order the special of the day for an appetizer (1/2 price wings) but it was quite difficult getting our server's attention for normal things like napkins and water refills so we never did get to order the Wings not that we needed any more food! Between the two of us we only ate 1/2 the large pizza.
I think we will try them again but without a kid or two in tow.
I uploaded pics of the pizza! (And I did her another patron talking with the manager inquiring as to why the Wi-Fi wasn't working and the manager noted they had been having difficulty with it lately).
