Boston Pizza

Met a colleague for light dinner last night at BP. We shared the jambalaya linguine which would have been quite nice if it had been served hot. It was a slow nite (everyone must have been home watching the Jays win) there were only four other tables seated so can’t imagine why our food was cold. When we mentioned it to our server (who was very pleasant and attentive), she took it back to the kitchen to have it warmed up — came back tepid. By then we were so hungry we ate it as is. We told her again and specifically asked her to let the kitchen know. And that was the end of it. No apology, nothing. I live within walking distance of this BP but given all the other restaurant options in the neighbourhood, it will be a long time before I go back — if ever.

I normally hate BP’s; it’s a franchise — enough said; too many franchises in this city. Franchises typically have a lack of creativity and passion, and offer little support for the local community.
That being said as far as Boston Pizza’s go this is the BEST in south Calgary. Consistently good food, drink specials, and a really good management and staff.
They will also modify most stuff on the menu for you if you ask nicely.

I had a quick lunch here. I ordered the chicken quesadilla. It wasn’t bad, but I thought it was a little light on the filling. The service was good though. All in all, it’s not a bad place for lunch when you’re in a hurry.
