My husband & I were pleasantly surprised...

by the good meal we had at Boston Pizza...we went to see Avatar and decided to use one of our Christmas gift cards to have dinner before the movie.

The food was great...service was excellent.

Your lucky. Last time I was there (it was also the first time I was there, and the last) The service was horrible.

Our waitress treated us as though we were keeping her from something important. She never smiled. She took our order, then that was the last time we saw her until she brought us our bills. The kitchen staff brought our food. We were never asked if we wanted anything else Ie: drinks, dessert etc.

My wife saw her outside several times during our meal leaning against a car and smoking. Needless to say she did not get a single tip from our table. None of us have gone back since.

I have eaten there twice and have never been happy. The first time I thought was perhaps a bad night. All restaurants have them. The next time it was the same story. Over priced for the quantity and quality of the food and very poor service.

I certainly don't mind paying $15.95 for my son to have ribs if he gets enought to satisfy him, but that was not the case.

I don't usually complain to the waitress about the food, but this time I did and she did not even offfer to take a cent off my bill. I will never go back. I know it is not the fault of the server regarding the quantity and quality but she was the one who lost out on the tip because we were not happy. At the very least she should have been more sympathetic or referred me to the manager. I guess you have to be more assertive than I am.

You can't beat Vitos or the Med. for good quality food.

I agree....I love the Med too and we've always had good luck at Vitos..guess we must have just hit a lucky night and a pleasant waitress.
