I've been there a couple of times. For the prices they charge, i'd rather go anywhere else.

In my experience, it's somewhere you pay the same as most places for a slightly less "classy" dining experience... but that might just be what you're looking for.

*shrug* I don't eat out much though haha

[HyperZell]

I've been to both the Beddington and Brentwood one, the latter more recently. It was right before a Flames game (vs Nashville, they lost...)

Anyways, I was quite impressed. It wasn't very busy, but the decor and ambience were more than I was expecting. The food was quite tasty as well - my friend and I both had different types of pasta, and they were both delicious. The servers were friendly, although the drinks did take awhile to fill sometimes. The bill was not too bad either - I'd go back if I was in the area, for sure.

ermmm i went there about a month ago.

and i thought my chicken penne was absolutly disgusting.

everyone else said their food was disgusting also.

the only thing good that our group of 20 got was cheese bread.

:thumbsdow

and our server also had a stick up his ass.

but he must have had a long day so i can understand that.

i would rather go to dennys

I've been to the Brentwood one lots of times, I really enjoy the food there. It's heavy as hell but good.:thumbsup:

I went there a couple years back, nothing special from places like Earls or Moxies in my opinion:dunno:

Prices were similar, atmosphere was similar, food was comparible. Nothing special, but nothing bad either.

[Weapon_R]

I agree - it's a lot like Moxies but more expensive.

[mo_money2supe]

I was introduced to the place like 3 or 4 years ago, and I've been back numerous times since. Mind you, their dinner menu usually tastes better than their lunch and/or Sunday brunch menus, albeit at a higher price. I'd still recommend it though. My gf and I go often especially when we're both at the U.

It's a good backup for when Kilkenny's gets too packed on wings night.

Dishwasher Sharon Flamand said an employee was fired last week after allegations of inappropriate sexual advances on a bartender.


No confirmation on this yet though.
