We have been going annually to the Mayfield for our wedding anniversary for over 10 years now…read more Until now, we have been very happy with our choice, except perhaps for the time they did improv. This year, we happened to go the first week of the new season, Simon and Garfunkle. The show was excellent, the two singers channelling Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle perfectly. The only fault I could find with the show was that the drums were inappropriately loud. I have S&G vinyl that I just played to prove that my memories of the 60's are quite correct: The drums on the original are very subdued. The likely cause is that the program had a long resume for the drummer. Likely his ego was as puffed up as his resume. Where we were disappointed was with the dinner. It's always a buffet and excellent if you arrive as soon as the doors open. This time, we chose the brisket from the carvery and found it quite dry. The baked desserts were stale, as if they had been saved for the month the MDT was closed. Everything elsa was freshly made, salads and the items on the steam tables. Another problem was with the air conditioning. My wife complained that it was too cold in the theatre and was told that nothing could be done about it. Thankfully, the staff brought her a fuzzy warm blanket that she was able to wrap around herself. Before the show started, I looked around and another man in short sleeves was wrapped up as well. There had been a late summer heat wave which would have required cooling one or two nights before. The MDT should have been able to adapt more quickly. Hopefully when our anniversary rolls around next year, the MDT will be back on its game.

My husband and I went to see First Date in February when it was playing. Show was decent but not…read morewhat I would say memorable. It is one of those cute Valentine's type of shows that they play that time of year. Fairly predictable but enjoyable. The service we recieved was excellent considering that it was a buffet but the servers were attentive and our water and wine glasses were always topped up. Buffet is large and extensive. I normally dislike buffets but here they are well executed. Salad bar, a small seafood session (didn't enjoy the sushi rolls), cheese section. What has changed is instead of the prime rib station was replaced with a striploin and beef brisket station. I tried a piece of each. They were certainly not stingly. I am surprised on how much I enjoyed the striploin. But for a girl that doesn't like sweets, I love the Mayfield dessert choices. They are bite size so you can try a selection. I always get the rice pudding. So for a fairly predictable night out for both food and entertainment, which you won't be blown away but you won't be disappointed, try here.

We decided to check out 4 cats clay studio in St. Albert to see how they teach pottery wheel. All I…read morecan say is that it's a waste of money. For one thing if you book a class there is no refund...huh, seriously...so okay fine. It was $30 per person and you only get 2 clay balls to work with. Then if you can even make something it's $20 more for glazing which you need to come back to do in a week. For one thing it's a smaller ball of clay than what we are used to from other classes and it wasn't the greatest of clays. Kinda felt more of a cheap clay. And we didn't have any tools to check clay depth, just a sponge Turning clay standing up with non professional wheels is another disaster waiting to happen for beginners. The wheels had no real control for rotations which makes it super hard to figure out and your back gets fatigued quickly. You gotta be sitting to do pottery, it's supposed to be relaxing and therapeutic. There is zero instruction for when we arrived so we just went for it. Which our projects failed miserably and the so called instructor had only been on the wheel for a week. So basically we were training her...which we felt she didn't care for at all Normally after your done at other shops we would clean up the equipment but she said no (I think to get rid of us faster) luckily she walked away to the front of the store and I told the other couple trying the wheel for the first time to goto Viva Clayworks for a better experience. Save your money and don't go here.

I'd give no stars if I could. Very disappointing overall experience. This was my first time trying…read morepottery, am I to believe all places are like this? It wasn't even a class, it was video-direction on an iPad. (Fair enough. Maybe that was mentioned in the fine print. I never checked.) Additionally, the staff wasn't at all helpful with any questions. I was brushed off. Again, this is my first ever pottery experience. Pretty salty at this point. Second visit was to paint the items. Again, no help. There were other classes going on in the same room (in-person ones, not video.) I had to ask others painting theirs pieces questions. Luckily, they were very helpful! 3rd visit: Pick up the items, (staff was busy and again, brushed off) one item was smashed and the other was cracked. The glaze wasn't even all the way to the bottom of the pieces. Careless? Inexperience? Who knows. (See photos if I'm able to share them here.) Do not recommend this place. Save your money. Go somewhere else.

Definitely take advantage of that as the line at the bar gets quite long. The theater was very comfy and elegant as well. We parked underground at the library. Getting out was worse than hockey games. Next time I would think twice about parking there. It's definitely nice not having to walk outside side to get to your car in winter though.

Website is super clear and was great to know how long the show was, that there is no intermission, where to park, etc.. Since we had to change our tickets we had to pickup from box office but that was very easy to find and very nice people working there. We were in the Shocter theatre I think. It was more tight that I would have liked as it was awkward when we/other people had to squeeze by to get to their seats. Show was 10/10 great, definitely loud enough.

Over the years I've been to numerous RFT shows and events though I definitely don't attend frequently. They are currently located in the Zeidler hall in the Citadel Theatre and this venue is pretty much a perfect size for their shows. They sell drinks (including alcohol) and twizzlers/nibs which can be purchased either before the show or at intermission (depending on the type of show, this may vary). As they're located in the Citadel, you can get here easily via transit and there are many parking garages available within easy walking distances (including the attached library parkade).

The pastry was dry and the salmon was dry. Very little flavour. My husbands beef was okay but lacked flavour as well. But this has been an issue for years. I just wished that after the 50th comment card saying the food needing more flavouring it would say something. However, I understand they are doing a mass banquet style meal, but I think that they probably could do better Show was fun. Place had great murals on the wall and the stage was great as usual. What is disappointing is the service. A few years ago the servers were able to interact with the participants. But now they are not really in costume and we had to wave down a server multiple times. I think they are short staff. We were season ticket holders and left it. Jubilations do better than okay.

The beef dip took a half hour to show up, had almost no beef in it, and was served with a side of potato chips, right out of the bag. Hope you like sour cream and onion! The wings were OK, good size, nice that they're oven baked. Stick to the wings. Drinks are watery unless you know someone who knows someone. I asked for top shelf bourbon and got served a lousy sour mash. Sent it back just to get a song and dance from the bartender that he forgot to add bitters, that's why it's so sour. Total BS. The duelling pianos are missing keys. The only thing to recommend this place is a good big screen projection to watch the game. The Bourbon Room is on it's way out, not worth stopping by to witness it.
