Has anyone been to Watermark Irish Pub lately?

A friend of mine wants to plan a group event there, with an expected 50 or so people to attend. Wondering how the food/service is at Watermark and if my Chow friends would recommend it.

Is that the one down at Queen's Quay in the Terminal building? If so I was there this past summer meeting friends for drinks. It was a good thing it was only for drinks because the kitchen was incredibly backed up and the hostess prior to seating us told us right away that we wouldn't get food for at least an hour if that was what we were looking for. For drinks it was fine, just your typical bar (like a Firkin). The service was friendly and efficient.

Hi - work near there and have eaten there a few times - food is terrible, just usual bad bar food. nice place for drinks in the summer though.

Anyone else have any experience w/ the place? I'm close by, but haven't tried it yet. You'd think w/ a prime location like that they'd step up their game kitchen-wise, but I guess they think all tourists are rubes, and the office workers and locals won't care what the food tastes like after 3-4 drinks.

I work upstairs so it's the office local.
Food is mediocre at best and service is slooooooooooooooooooow.
Which is fine if it's the summer and you've got a nice spot on the patio, but I can't imagine a group of 50 in the winter would enjoy it much.
