Xs Lounge And Grill - Calgary

When we saw the buffet from inside the hotel, we went in for dinner and were waiting to be greeted or seated. After awhile and nobody in sight, we walked through the buffet past endless dirty tables to get to the lounge. There was only one server/attendant and the language barrier was rough. She explained that we could sit down to eat but we would have to leave within 15 minutes as it was 9:45pm and they closed at 10pm, typically in restaurants once the kitchen has closed you can no longer order anything else, but guests can finish their meal in the restaurant so that felt unwelcoming. Instead decided to just go somewhere else. In the morning we got up early and headed down for the breakfast opening at 6:30am. We could see the attendant inside the buffet area but the doors were locked. We tried to signal to her as it was now 6:40am and she just stared at us and ignored us. Finally as we were walking away we heard the door unlocked so we went back in. We wanted to order from the restaurant instead of the 16$ continental. She seemed super confused about this, and we explained we were ordering to go. She then had to go ask the chef if that was okay, then she gave us the menus. We had questions about the menu items and everytime she had to go back and ask the chef, she had no idea anything about the menu. I understand if she's a breakfast bar attendant and not a waitress, but nobody was on shift in the lounge to properly serve us at the restaurant. Which wasn't a cheap meal. After waiting what felt like forever we got our meal, and took it up to our room to get the heck out of there. It was such a weird and uncomfortable experience both times in the eating area there. I'd recommend bringing your own food or going somewhere else, especially since continental breakfast isn't even included unless you get the coupon.

Terrible service, average food. Server has an attitude problem, young girl who seems to have a chip on her shoulder... Sadly the norm with people not wanting to work these days, anything with a pulse is the face of a business.

Stopped here for an early dinner (sat at the bar). My husband had the dry ribs with a Cajun spice. They were very juicy and delicious. I had the stuffed chicken breast and it was phenomenal even the sautéed vegetables they served it with were done perfectly and seasoned just right. The only slight downside with my husband’s meal is he ordered a side of sweet potato fries, they weren’t great-tasted a bit old (they did let us know that that is no longer on the menu. Plus they removed it from the bill). The servers were excellent, they were very friendly and accommodatingLloyd and Renuka.
