great food garbage service. i used to come toliam'squite often up until a year and a half ago when i moved away from ottawa. however the last few fridays atliam'shave forever tainted my image of this establishment and it would take a miracle of biblical proportions to ever bring me back.
first off let me start by saying i do not usually write restaurant reviews however this time i felt compelled to. the food was great i found the menu to be superb for a pub and when our order finally was take the good was ready within a reasonable amount of time. however the service i received was dismal. there was a bartender and a server working. the dining room was not even a quarter full but i still was waiting as if it was a dinner time rush. the server on the floor was running around dealing with the tables however the bartender who didn't seem very busy at all was standing around constantly on her phone and was over serving this extremely loud and obnoxious girl who seemed like her friend. when i approached the bartender to ask her if she could take her our order she glared at me and stated that the server would be right with me. and she then turned back to her phone.
this happened to me last friday and i thought perhaps she was just having a bad day however when i returned yesterday and received the same horrible disrespectful service from the same girl i realized that wasn't the case. i thinkliam'sneeds really look into who they have running their establishment when they are not around because this is a lovely place but the service just ruins the experience.
