I met my sorority sisters here yesterday evening and we had a nice time.
I went to STA about 5 years ago, for a work team building gathering at which we shared a large number of appetizers and enjoyed them all! I recall the giant pretzel with the cheese dip being a big hit! It certainly is jumbo and is served with monkeynaut mustard and bro jo beer cheese dip.
Yesterday, my sisters shared the house made BBQ chips, the Montreal poutine, and the Asian ribs and fries. Everyone raved about the poutine, which was nearly gone by the time I arrived, and they loved the ribs, too!
Everyone enjoyed their beer flights, and the restaurant itself, was clean, well-organized and the staff were efficient and friendly.
They have a really good-sized patio in the back which has heavy duty plastic coverings and large space heaters, making it really comfy this time of year and we passed a couple of video games and a monkeynaut cut out where you could put your face where the monkey's face would be for a photo, which was cute. They offer a lot of STA merchandise (t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc.).
Why no 5th star? It's my personal preference, I don't drink beer. I asked about their wine selections, and they only had 2: a red blend and a chardonnay. Their chardonnay, described as "Sassy and full of herself...gardenia blossoms burst from her...hat...she hasn't seen a lot of oak, but she's mature," was really bad! Not in terms of oxidation, it was just flavorless. I choked down a couple of these bad $6 glasses and called it a day.
Also, I'm not sure if there's anything they can do about the sinks in the ladies' restrooms (please see picture) but they are kinda gross. They actually made me feel I was back in middle school, with all the stains on them! They likely are the original sinks from when Campus 805 was Stone Middle School. Still, not a deal-breaker, just not squeaky clean.
