Literally the most disappointing food and service. We had a reservation for 5 people today for the…read moreMother's Day Brunch and I feel robbed for my time, money and experience. First, we arrive for our reservation and every table in the room is unclean and disgusting. They tried to seat us at a table with a table cloth covered in stains and crumbs. Two of the chairs had food smeared on them and the employee looked confused when I pointed it out and refused to sit on the dirty chair. So she took us to the next table with a dirty table cloth, but since there was no crumbs on it and the chairs didn't have food on them, it would be fine, right? The food was quite disappointing. Cold and dried out from just sitting there. You couldn't chew through the ginger beef, it was so stale. The sauce for the dried out fish was separated and the fat layer solidified. Soup wasn't hot. You had two options to choose from with the Tomahawk they were carving and serving - either jerky tough well done, or thin sliced fat cooked to medium. It was flavourless. I could literally go on and on. I tried pretty much everything from the spread. There was no cutlery on the tables and I had to hunt down an employee to bring some forks and knives while my family picked at their food. No water was offered or on the table. Took probably 15-20 minutes to get drinks from the time we sat down with our food. Children were running around using their own cutlery to serve themselves, licking them clean in between each station. The employees turned a blind eye even though they were watching this happen (specifically the gentlemen working the steak and ham station). The women's bathroom was filthy. Toilet paper and paper towels all over the floor, not to mention FOUR toilets filled with crap. Like gross massive dumps. I mentioned it to the hotel front desk and all they did was come into the bathroom, flush the toilets and leave. I have been to Rendesvouz numerous times and never experienced this pathetic level of quality and service. I'm beyond disgusted and angry. I can understand why they tacked on the mandatory gratuity for this event, because it surely wasn't earned and I would not have paid almost $400 for 2 mimosas, 3 soft drinks and 5 meals (3 adults and 2 kids) if I knew this was going to happen. We left hungry and completely dissatisfied. Thanks for ruining our Mother's Day.

We went to Flores and Pine for a meal with another couple that I did not know very well. As a…read moreresult I did not want to be "that guy" and raise an issue at the restaurant and even if we were on our own, I likely still don't raise the issue but just simply not return to the restaurant. We dine out a lot so this was not a case of not having comparables. Service was very pleasant and attentive. 3 out of 4 meals were fine. All salmon based dishes that were enjoyed. The fourth was the Alberta Lamb Top Sirloin. I wish I would have taken a picture of the meal. The price was $62 for the entree which I find is in line with mid to higher end restaurants in Calgary and expected. What was surprising was that the entree consisted of two pieces of lamb that each would be slightly above the size of a golf ball. I actually cut it into small pieces just so that it would last longer. There were a couple of slices of potatoes and a small amount of seasonal vegetables. In my head I was saying, "seriously" or "that's it". I would say that since Covid occurred, prices at restaurants have risen about 40% higher and given that we still dine out quite a bit, I have been accustomed to this new pricing but I simply would not return to Flores and Pine given the complete lack of value. It is a shame because the room and ambience was nice and this restaurant had been on our list to try since it has opened. I don't believe I have ever written a review of a restaurant and I have certainly have had worse meals at a restaurant but these were likely at a pub or chain restaurant where I have few expectations. Anyway, as mentioned the other 3 in our party enjoyed their meals and it was only I that had an issue.

They were very pleased with their meals. I ordered the Icelandic Fish which was cod. Very small piece on a bed of Luke warm shredded fennel and onion. 2 patties of something that had been grilled but were cold. The plate was also cold so everything was a disappointment. The dessert was a small tablespoon of fresh fruit on the whipped egg white wasn't even close to a serving. At $18, it was not value for money. The wines were good, but we were refilling our own glasses, which was poor service for a meal at a rop restaurant. When one pays $500 for a meal for 3 people, one expects top line. This was not.

For the owner, I can't say the same He has asked me "so, how can we can we improve at Betty Lou's". No matter what you say, it doesn't really matter. The owner seems to weaponize feedback, which is completely toxic. Sure, you're the owner, absolute respect to you for making this fair in this industry, it's accomplishment. However、please do not ask serving or bartending staff if you don't want genuine feedback. The owner will act against you. We requested one time that Blaine (the owner) does not come on floor if he's had more than two drinks and if he's not dressed in proper uniform. As an owner, sure, to some extent that's fine. But when you threaten a server, who is still new, you will fire them based off how long you're doing menu tours is not acceptable. If you didn't know, menu tours are just running through the drinks and food, which can take a considerable amount of time when you are busy. Now imagine the owner is so disconnected from the reality of the service, is also five drinks deep in the office. The owner will award you back off a few good days, but if you have one review where a customer believes you didn't believe you delivered "a personable experience" you're done. Now, that seems rough, but imagine an owner who values complete bullshit over actual truth. But I mean hey, would I work an environment where the owner can flip a switch, absolutely. It doesn't matter So hey, if you get hired at Betty Lou's, got bless you You can have a good few days, but ultimately, it doesn't matter. There is no HR, no general manger, you know why? They've left, to better and more complete opportunities that Betty Lou's cannot offer. If you're looking for any place to work, please, reconsider Betty Lou's.
