Boston Pizza

3.0

I'd give Boston Pizza 3 out of 5 stars for our recent visit. While it's a good spot for families, with lidded glasses to prevent spills, crayons & coloring pamphlets for the kids, high chairs, & plenty of parking, the overall experience wasn't great. The manager's service left much to be desired. She seemed visibly annoyed by children & was rough with my son, never once smiling at any of the guests during our time there. That's not something you expect at a family-oriented restaurant. As for the food, it has its pros & cons. The nachos were skimpy on cheese, even after requesting extra, & the grilled chicken club sandwich wasn't the classic club sandwich with three layers but served on a sub roll. The pasta was overcooked, & the Caesar salad had way too much dressing. Most of the menu seems catered to general tastes, with heavy-handed portions & overcooked pasta instead of al dente. On the positive side, they offer unlimited soda refills, & kids get a free ice cream with meals from the kids' menu. But if you're ordering a scoop of ice cream for dessert, be prepared for a tiny portion that's not worth the $3 price tag. All in all, Boston Pizza works as a convenient family spot due to its kid-friendly features. However, I wouldn't choose it for a night out with my wife. It's a place I'd consider returning to only for the kids, but definitely not for a date night.
