Went here for a show last week and decided to dine in the Retro Bar first. I ordered the Steak…read moreFrites which was an eight ounce ribeye served with steak fries. The plate looked rather plain but the fries were hot and crispy, My steak, though slightly overdone, was tender and juicy. It had a lot of flavour and I suspect was marinated for a long time beforehand. There was a serving of garlic mayo on the plate which I assume was for the fries (and that is what I used as a dip at any rate). I don't think I would come here as a dining destination, but I would eat here again if I was going to another show, simply because of the convenience and reasonable prices.

Service was…read moreforgetable...in terms that they forgot about us, nothing special about the restaurant in terms of being welcoming etc. Food was okay. My husband had the prime rib which was the better of the two meals. Prime rib wasn't really flavourful and the veggies were underdone. Mine was the beef dip. I found it dry. Really dry. Fries were nothing special either. The prime rib was on special, and so I would say that was afordable. However for the quality i had for the sandwich it was poor value for the money. Probably will not eat here again.

Review: John @ Starlight Casino (Thursday Night)…read more Okay, can we talk about John for a second? Because I hit the Starlight this past Thursday and honestly, finding a bartender who can actually keep up with my energy is like finding a flight deal to Tokyo for $400--rare, beautiful, and slightly miraculous. John is absolute chaos in the best way possible. The man was moving faster than I do when I hear "final boarding call" at the airport. I watched him handle a drink order that sounded like a chemistry dissertation while simultaneously nodding along to some guy's very loud, very wrong life story. The level of "professional hostage-taker" patience he has is truly a gift. (Tru story); At one point, I'm pretty sure he made three drinks, grabbed a fresh bowl of limes, and cracked a joke that had the whole bar wheezing, all without breaking eye contact with the shaker. If that isn't worth a massive raise, I don't know what is. Seriously, pay the man more before I decide to pack him in my suitcase and take him on my next solo trip as a personal hydration specialist. John is the literal jackpot of this casino. 10/10, no notes, give him all the money. See you next Thursday!

The Buffet is inside the Starlight Casino lobby area in West Edmonton Mall. Since it's not in the…read morecasino it's open to children and there were a few families when we went to eat. With my Player's Club card, I get coupons including a 2 for 1 Buffet one, which makes it $20 for dinner for 2 which is a pretty good value. The breakfast and lunch prices are $10 and $15 respectively. There have theme nights, Tuesday is Mediterranean, Wednesday is Indian, and Thursday is Asian. You pay when you arrive so you can't check our the fare first. They also ask for a tip but we didn't tip at that time as we didn't receive any service yet! We went on a Tuesday and the upper seating area was about half full. They also have seating in lower area accessible by stairs but they closed off that section while we were there. The booths are roomy and comfortable. The buffet itself is small. There are 3 rows with the first having 2 soups, 5 different salads but were on small plates, rolls, and condiments and cutlery. The middle row had the hot foods and that night it included rice, roast potatoes, green beans, other vegetables, beef souvlaki, roast chicken, pita and various dips including hummus, gravy, spanikopita, and a person there to cut you slices of roast lamb. The third row had an ice cream machine and toppings, fresh cantaloupe and honeydew melon, pre made mini cupcakes, a few different squares, baklava, and a peach crumble. They also have self serve coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and one of those soda machines that you select many different kinds of flavoured pop. The lamb was the star of the show, it was tender and not too gamy tasting. The beef was dry and hard and chicken was cooked well but not very flavourful. Couldn't really go wrong with the green beans, spanikopita, and potatoes. For dessert, the peach dessert was so bad I had to spit it all out as the peaches were so sour as they were the canned type. I went back for a piece of baklava and it was stuck on the plate. I wiggled a piece free and since it was so big, I wasn't able to finish it. It was pretty cold as they probably took it out of the freezer a few hours earlier but still good. The service to start with was awful and based on that, I would have given this 2 stars. There was a woman walking around and taking away plates and acknowledging other tables but not ours. When I did have a dirty plate, she removed it but not the cup. The woman who came by after her was nice and efficient. The first woman was terrible and I don't see her lasting long. The food was just alright and the price good with the 2 for 1 coupon.

Ice district was awesome for checking security to make us all safe. I didn't like how they didn't have roaming bartenders to serve the front row like they do at most outdoor concerts. Or even come around for water. This really made the concert experience less fun for sure. Loved how I could get up close to front row for free and security made sure there was no pushing or anything like that. Vibes are good. People friendly and nobody was getting into eachother space at all. People are quite respectful

They first taught us the basics of Texas Hold'em and then led a tournament for our guests. Nothing like learning by doing in a risk free environment. They bring in the standard dealer tables and all the trainers are well trained casino dealers. Our group of 40 was comfortably accommodated. They created an authentic environment for our beginners tournament. Our guests loved it. The only surprise of the night was that guests couldn't put their glasses or dishes on the tables, and there weren't quite enough extra tables to set down the treats for the evening. A small hiccup in an otherwise perfect event. I highly recommend this organization for home parties or networking events.
