I've eaten at the Flight Deck a few times now, and the only word I can think of to describe it is "inconsistent."

The first time we tried to make a reservation, but we were told that they weren't taking them yet. We didn't have the required 45 minutes to wait around that night. The next time we went, the food (steaks, scallops and a chicken burger for the eleven year old we had in tow) was incredible and the service was outstanding. Visit number three (which, I guess, is visit number two) was to the bar upstairs. The pub fare was tasty, our server was a sweetie pie and we were thoroughly entertained by the diverse clientele. The last time we went, our poor server looked terrified, she was run off her feet, and we watched tables walk out because food just wasn't coming. Could the honeymoon be over?

We both ordered their curry bowl, which was the oddest thing I've ever tried to eat- picture a steak sandwich steak (complete with Montreal steak spice) sliced up over top of an odd assortment of vegetables with a sad, sad attempt at a curry sauce on a mountain of white rice. The manager was happy to replace it with pizza, which was pretty good. We're going to give it another chance, to see if the schizophrenia has been resolved. I'm still looking forward to giving their patio a try.

My husband and I had read the various reviews and decided to see for ourselves. We walked into the restaurant and were seated, but our ears were assaulted by extremely loud, unpleasant music. We decided that this wasn't the place we wanted to be and left immediately. There was an Italian restaurant within walking distance where we shared a delightful meal, and perhaps found a new favourite when we come to see a movie iin Calgary.
