Staff were friendly and helpful. The reason that I'm not giving 5 star to them is because the venue didn't have a proper setup for work events. Projector was not bright enough. Lighting was very poor and we could not even read any of our notes. I believe this could be fixed easily if they would like to attract businesses to use this facility for their event and I hope next time I go there I see some improvements. If you go there for personal and family fun day, you'll probably enjoy your experience and will have fun! For those activities I actually recommend them! :)

They have pool tables, some arcade games, bowling, Lazer tag, billiards/pool, and a lounge. The lounge has events such as comedy or sports game nights, and it always ends up being a great time. Each time I have been there, the servers in the lounge have been great with checking up with you to see if they can assist with anything. Keep in mind if you want to go here with a group, it is best to book in advance, because this is a fairly busy location. That being said, each time i have gone here with one or two people, I haven't had to wait long at all. One side note; as this is a fairly busy place, the pool tables have had a lot of use and are not in the best of shape, and some are straight up in need of repair. However, if you are looking for fun, Gateway Entertainment has that for sure. As mentioned above, I have been here many times, and will most likely continue, as it is always a fun time.

Over the years I've been to numerous RFT shows and events though I definitely don't attend frequently. They are currently located in the Zeidler hall in the Citadel Theatre and this venue is pretty much a perfect size for their shows. They sell drinks (including alcohol) and twizzlers/nibs which can be purchased either before the show or at intermission (depending on the type of show, this may vary). As they're located in the Citadel, you can get here easily via transit and there are many parking garages available within easy walking distances (including the attached library parkade).

Comfortable theatre seats. Great viewing. One exit at the top of the stairs and one at the bottom.

Washrooms are clean and modern. Staff are terrific.

Tickets were $10 and $15 respectively, worth every penny. Go while you still can! Perfect for a date or hang out with friends. Plus they have cheap drinks and candy (twizzler/nibs).

Never been - always mean to, but it's always sold out before I remember. Got a Saturday ticket…read morethis year. Really wanted to see Taj in person. Very impressed with the scale of the event. Seems pretty well organized, especially comparing it with last year's unfortunate Blues Festival fiasco. Just one very obnoxious security volunteer at the main stage. Glad I caught Taj at Stage 6 earlier. When I arrived at the main stage, 10 minutes before Taj was scheduled, I selected a questionable spot right next to the walkway, near the stage - mind you, it's just me with a coat to sit on, don't need a lot of room - but I wasn't surprised when one of the two security guys right in front of me told me that wasn't acceptable. So, I spotted a place that was even better positioned (lined up with the center of the stage). It was a tarp free spot about 2 1/2 by 4 feet - plenty of room for a little old lady - and I ask the only guys on the only occupied tarp adjacent to it if I would be bothering them. They said there was no problem. Taj Mahal started his show and everything was good. UNTIL the same security volunteer stands right in front of me and declares that I can't watch from there because I didn't put a tarp there and it wasn't fair to the people that did. (I don't need a tarp - I need a 2'x2' space.) I tried to tell him I wasn't bothering anyone, but I could see that he was bothering everyone and, rather than ruin the show for everyone else, I retreated to spot on the side of the tarps (a tiny sliver mostly on the exit path - but I guess the point was that I shouldn't have a center view, or something). Would you believe that this S.O.B. moved to where he could glare at me for the entire hour and he also sent a junior security volunteer to stand right beside me, after giving them some lengthy instructions of some sort. Well, I ignored them as well as I could and enjoyed the show anyway. I was a little sorry for Taj because he is actually a legend and there were so many empty tarps right in front of him. Anyway, what I wanted to say, was that PAUL HUKULAK (HUKULUK?) security volunteer should: a) take that stick out of his YouKnowWhere; and b) not be anywhere near a folk festival - where people are actually, usually, invested in being decent to each other. BTW, I went back to take a picture of the spot I wasn't allowed to watch from, and a random tarpless person was sitting there in their chair. Good for him - he cheated the a-hole out of that illegal spot while I distracted him.

This event is something I tell everyone about. I not only attend but I volunteer and thoroughly…read moreenjoy the weekend. Simple put, it's a great atmosphere to be part of. It's a family friendly event too and being where it's located, there's a playground behind the main stage by the community hall. Main stage is where the up and coming and big acts preform. However with amazing music for 4 days be sure to check out the smaller stages. They give you the opportunity to listen to the various artists, in what I can best describe as grouped themes or as solo artists throughout the days. The festival has an app so you can plan a bit ahead of time what stages you want to be at. If you're lucky enough to be there early in the day, you can participate in the tarp run. It's really hard to explain until one actually experiences it first hand but image a very calm line waking in from the gate with bagpipes leading the crowd. Cool right? Then music stops and all of a sudden a stampede of people ensues upwards on the hill. The whole hill goes from grass to a patchwork of tarps in a couple of hours. Everything from totems, stuffed animals, blankets, chairs and duct tape is used to mark/help identify the individual tarps. Amazing is all I can say about that. Being a volunteer on the hill to help supervise proper tarp placement gives a very unique view point on that creativity. If you stick around for the big acts, you'll see the lantern parade in the evening. They march up to the middle of the hill and make their way through the crowd. It is definitely worth the wait and believe me, buy a candle (or two) for the evening. It makes the hill magical seeing it lit by candles as music drifts through the evening air. As a volunteer, I haven't had much need to try the various food vendors but have heard good things. There's a separate tent for volunteers and we are kept very well fed (yes, there's volunteers that even work in the kitchen to feed all the volunteers on site - pretty amazing!). For those looking for some shade and a cool brew, I can say the beer garden is very popular. There's always a line up of eager people waiting to enter. If you are one of them, I do caution you to double check that you don't accidentally end up in the bathroom line up (which conveniently is closely located to the beer gardens) and avoid giving your friends a good laugh when they hear that happened. So long story short, pack for the day or come for the whole weekend. You won't regret it.

We came here for a dinner theater and again we weren't disappointed…read more The place was full and fun. And also made for people who want to be home by 10ish. The show was so funny and the owners are so funny and hospitable. We have always had a great time. Food is 100% better than any other dinner theater we have went to. Really you can't go wrong on the menu. I have had the vegatarian dish and it was excellent. I had the seafood dish and it was excellent. I have had the beef dish and it was excellent. The desserts a lovely. And the soup and salad to start are fresh and flavourful. I won't go into details on what we specifically ordered because the menu changes for each dinner theater. What I will say if you love beef go with whatever beef dish they are doing. Their beef is excellent. However I went with the seafood boulibase and it was good but it was a little skimpy on the seafood. That is probably the only slight complaint that I have had in all the years I have been going here. If you like dinner theaters come to this one. Worth every penny.

It is one of those cute Valentine's type of shows that they play that time of year. Fairly predictable but enjoyable. The service we recieved was excellent considering that it was a buffet but the servers were attentive and our water and wine glasses were always topped up. Buffet is large and extensive. I normally dislike buffets but here they are well executed. Salad bar, a small seafood session (didn't enjoy the sushi rolls), cheese section. What has changed is instead of the prime rib station was replaced with a striploin and beef brisket station. I tried a piece of each. They were certainly not stingly. I am surprised on how much I enjoyed the striploin. But for a girl that doesn't like sweets, I love the Mayfield dessert choices. They are bite size so you can try a selection. I always get the rice pudding. So for a fairly predictable night out for both food and entertainment, which you won't be blown away but you won't be disappointed, try here.

We have been going annually to the Mayfield for our wedding anniversary for over 10 years now…read more Until now, we have been very happy with our choice, except perhaps for the time they did improv. This year, we happened to go the first week of the new season, Simon and Garfunkle. The show was excellent, the two singers channelling Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle perfectly. The only fault I could find with the show was that the drums were inappropriately loud. I have S&G vinyl that I just played to prove that my memories of the 60's are quite correct: The drums on the original are very subdued. The likely cause is that the program had a long resume for the drummer. Likely his ego was as puffed up as his resume. Where we were disappointed was with the dinner. It's always a buffet and excellent if you arrive as soon as the doors open. This time, we chose the brisket from the carvery and found it quite dry. The baked desserts were stale, as if they had been saved for the month the MDT was closed. Everything elsa was freshly made, salads and the items on the steam tables. Another problem was with the air conditioning. My wife complained that it was too cold in the theatre and was told that nothing could be done about it. Thankfully, the staff brought her a fuzzy warm blanket that she was able to wrap around herself. Before the show started, I looked around and another man in short sleeves was wrapped up as well. There had been a late summer heat wave which would have required cooling one or two nights before. The MDT should have been able to adapt more quickly. Hopefully when our anniversary rolls around next year, the MDT will be back on its game.
