JoJo's Cafe - Okotoks

I did not enjoy my experience at this restaurant. It was poorly marketed and not at all what we were expecting.

The food was overpriced for the portion size. We ordered the crab cakes, which cost $11 for two, and they were served cold in the middle.

The risotto cakes were fantastic! However, the ravioli was delicious but we found the portions to be quite small for the price. The desserts were also enjoyable.

We like to support local restaurants and were very excited to try Jojo's cafe. Our first visit was quite disappointing. The wait for the food was quite long and when the food did arrive, it was not of high quality. The service was very poor and the staff were not very friendly, nor did they make us feel welcome. Our experience did not reflect their website at all and sadly, it's not a restaurant I would recommend. It's unfortunate, but at least there are many other local restaurants to support.

We showed up at 1 o'clock, to let the lunch rush dissipate. Ordered the salad special and the Greek pizza special.We waited a fairly lengthy time for the food to show, then finally went to the counter to find out what was wrong. It was sitting in the back waiting. So the pizza was cold and the salad was warm. Go figure.Had to sent the pizza back as it was cool to the touch. Tried the salad, and the first thing up on the fork was the stem the cherry tomatoes were plucked from. Yuk. Went and talked to the chef, and I will give him credit that he seemed truly sorry for our meal. They refunded the cost, and offered us a new pizza. When it finally showed up, the pizza was swimming in tomato sauce, had a VERY thick serving of mozza cheese, a few sliced olives, not a hint of an onion, and there was absolutely NO feta cheese involved at all. But at least it was hot. After trying a few bites, we realized we would never eat here again. Ate as much as we were able to, and left.On a final note, the front end staff seemed quite confused as to which table and patrons the food was to be delivered to. A very disorganized staff.All in all, a very disappointing lunch at what had seemed to be a highly rated restaurant.
