Le Skratch Laval

Food is quite good, decent selection of beer on tap, service is good as well. The pool tables are not perfect but the overall atmosphere is quite conducive for a good night out with the boys and a few quick games.

Came here on a Saturday night in September. It was a fight night but we showed up early and had no issues getting a table. The parking lot is large and you don't have to worry about finding a spot.nnThe waitress was very friendly and accommodating even when it started to get busy.nnThe food is what you'd expect at a billiards bar but the price was on the lower end. Worth grabbing a few plates I'd you're hungry.nnLooking forward to returning for a few games of pool.

I usually really like this place. I was here last Friday and had a great time; the food was good, the service was good- not a bad thing to say.nnI came back the following night however, and had a completely different experience. My group of 3 started by ordering drinks and a plate of fries to share. When our server brought this out, she asked us to pay immediately. I told her we weren’t ready to pay yet as we intended on ordering more and also we literally just got our stuff??? Like chilll…then she said it was their policy which like????? It wasn’t the policy literally the night before so what was different now?? And THEN she said it was just to protect herself and she asked if she could keep one of our IDs. Like….no????? We literally JUST got our stuff and it felt like she was accusing us of dining and dashing or something. Like for what reason??? Then finally, when I was ready to order some more, guess who was nowhere to be found? You’d think someone who was so accusatory would be more present. I waited for what I felt was a reasonable amount of time before going to the bar to ask if I could just order through them since we didn’t know where our server was. The staff at the bar were friendly and they sent the server back our way.nnThen later, when it was time to pay…I got my bill and noticed that the drink I ordered which had been listed on the menu as “8.00” was on there for $8.24. Now I know 0.24$ isn’t a lot, it’s hardly anything really but it’s the principle. When I brought this up to the server, first she said “we raised our prices” cool but that’s not reflected on the menu. I ordered that drink under the assumption that it was $8 and not 8.24. So then she said “oh that’s the price with taxes.” Like…girl no it’s not. I found myself explaining to her what subtotals were and I even took out my calculator to show how all the things on the bill added up to the subtotal which is the price BEFORE tax and therefore 8.24 was not the total price. So then she literally gave me a physical quarter to rectify the price situation. Like??????nnBUT WAIT, there’s more!nI had a gift certificate that I wanted to pay with. When I presented it to the server, she initially refused it and told me I had to pay my bill and then present the gift certificate to the manager who would give me cash equivalent to the value of the gift certificate. Like….excuse me WHAT? That’s the most nonsensical thing I’ve ever heard. I’ve never heard of a gift certificate being used in that way. Like what the actual heck? So naturally I challenged her on that and FINALLY after some more back and forth, she returned with a new bill having deducted the amount of my gift certificate.nnAnyway, I’ll probably keep going to the skratch as this was really the only negative experience I’ve had there but I will go out of my way to not sit in a section that that particular server is assigned to.

Amazing place. Lydia was an amazing serveuse. Perfect for table tennis, pool and golf. Drinks are very good too. Must visit.

Pretty cool places around for depends on the day... Awesome waitresses tho, anecdotally speaking, um personality too :P
