If it wasnt for the staff that had been at that 142st location forever and will he missed, that locations disaster would be absolutely hilarious.
Imagine buying a store, that has all the equipment you need for what you do, a loyal clientele, and a great location, and manage to mess it up that bad. All while taking over a restaurant and a seperate building in the same strip mall. Absolute disaster

Solar has been dropped from Downtown Dining Week, so it sounds like they won't be opening in time.
A pity, because I was looking forward to trying their veggie benny and their orange mimosa.

Well off people also know how to get to Costco too and do notice if prices nearby diverge too much from elsewhere. I agree the problems were scale and perhaps trying to do to many things at once.
Restaurants, especially starting up, need a lot of attention so probably took away some from what should have been their main focus.

Sure, Ian, flaunt your ability to eat solid food. That grilled cheese sammich almost makes me weep...

Had dinner at Lawson's Fish & Chips tonight. The food was quite good. The fast-casual setup is similar to Brits, which is still alive on Argyll Road.
My only 2 gripes:
- Hours: They are closed on Sundays and on Saturdays during the day.
- Location: They are located in the western outskirts of the city, almost on the Henday. I wish they were located closer to the core.
Lawson's is good enough a for a repeat visit, although the next time I'm craving fish & chips then I'll sooner go to Winston's.

1000%. There is this woerd mentality that well to do people dont know the price of things that arent luxury products.
For the west end L'oca, they really dodnt understand the neighborhood.
And for the restaurants, they failed to acknowledge anyone actually from Edmonton.
Its unfortunate because the concept could have easily worked

I like that the fish comes wrapped in a newspaper when you get it to-go. Helps me get a bit of extra solvents in my digestive tract.

Lawsons is good. Ill have to try winstons again. Lawsons I like because I only need one piece of fish.
But when I crave fried protein. Ralphs gets my vote.
