Doc Lance Stopped by Scaddabush Guelph for a late-night bite during their last seating on a Saturday night (Dec 27), and overall it was a really pleasant experience.
The seating was comfortable and the atmosphere was generally warm and inviting. I also noticed that the layout at this location is a bit different from other Scaddabush restaurants in the franchise (different in a good way). It had a different bar seating table connected to the bar and felt more accommodating.
We ordered three appetizers (Polenta fries, charity bread, meatball) and one pizza (the Butcher), and everything came out looking great and tasting just as good. The presentation stood out, and I honestly felt this location was operating at a higher standard than some of the others I’ve frequently visited.
Service was friendly and relaxed. Since it was late and close to closing, we let the staff know they were welcome to carry on with their closing duties while we took our time, which they appreciated. They told us to just flag them down if we needed anything, which made the experience feel very easygoing. That said, our server still checked in periodically, which struck a nice balance between being attentive without hovering.
I’ll definitely be back again because next time ill have to order my usual favourite, the Zucca Ravioli. This visit was more about sharing plates, so a full main didn’t quite fit the mood, but it’s on my list for the next round.
A solid late-night dining experience and a location I’d happily return to.
