"So here's the scoop.. I went out for dinner at Original Joe's Thursday night. I have to say, after having been in the bar/restaurant service industry myself for 9 years in the past, it was one of the best server experiences I've had in AGES!!! From beginning to end, every single person was welcoming, happy, and calmly accommodating, even though the place was completely packed (we even had to park over by Shopper's !! Our waitress (Nikki, a little cute thing with fun eye makeup was super friendly, and took the proper time to explain everything, go through specials, and didn't rush any of our orders or replies even though she was clearly busy. Most places I know of (not in town would have been frantic, edgy, running into each other, treating you like you're a bother, rolling their eyes at coworkers, but the staff at this place all seemed to run like a well oiled machine and really worked great together! Even the bartender took some extra time with a man ordering food to explain each and every single side dish option in detail to help the man decide what to get with his steak, just to help him feel a little more comfortable because he obviously wasn't a regular and was sitting alone. The food was hot, fast and complete, with tables of happy customers turned over ridiculously fast, and I just wanted to give a great big shout out to a great job well done to all of the staff that was there!! Even on our way out, every single staff member we passed took a moment to pause, smile and thank us for coming! I often become very disappointed when I receive crappy service because I would love nothing more than to be able to leave a great big tip every time. Well, last night I felt great about spending my money there and will definitely be back regularly. Enjoy your upcoming trip Nikki and please travel safe so you can serve us again soon!

"Disappointing experience. Reserved a high top table and specified in my booking that I would like it for a World Cup game being shown. When I arrived the seat was nowhere near a television screen as requested or a high top table. I asked the waitress if it’s possible to sit closer to a screen which she kindly put me in a booth near the big screen. The manager came over after we had order drinks and abruptly asked us to move as this was reserved. I informed the manager that I have a reservation to watch this game on a high top table and was told to sit in this booth by the waitress. The manager informed me that the table I was sat at had been booked for months in advance. We moved to a high top table eventually which is front of a screen. A short while passes and a lady walks through the door and the manager informs her we have your seats available, you are lucky as your seats were being stolen and I stopped them. This suggested we took those seats when the waitress kindly put us there in the first place. He said this so loudly that we could hear it very clearly and made us feel very unwelcome. Later on the manager was being patronising to the waitress staff and the whole experience was very unpleasant to watch. There was a number people who also experienced seats in wrong location and asked the waitress and manager several times to move even though there was booths left unused. They advertised they are showing the World Cup games but it didn’t have enough seating in front of screens to accommodate everyone so I wouldn’t recommend going if you are attending to watch big sports events there. The service was quick and the food was a good standard. If it wasn’t for the rude manager in particular the experience was a 3/5 but we wouldn’t come back again to this venue again."
