| - I went with a friend and used my Teambuy.ca voucher ($17 for $35 worth of food). Before purchasing this deal I already done my research and read reviews on Yelp. Even before stepping into Le Commensal, my interpretation was this place was either a hit or miss.
Unfortunately this place was a miss or wait, did they even shoot the arrow?
CONS:
- The atmosphere was dark (not all the lights were turned on) and it was prime time for dinner (We were there around 6PM). The poor lighting made the food look pretty sad.
- Everyone on Yelp raved about selections. Seriously?! The selection was NOT as much as I would have imagined (most of the food look the same with a minor colour and veggie difference). If you go to a typical buffet like Mandarin there are more selections.
- Price - If you checked out my pictures you will be amazed on how little food we got for $35. Thank god I used a coupon and I didn't pay full price. I could easily spend less money @ Fresh, Kings Cafe, etc and get better quality food and I actually feel nourished.
- Taste - HOT BUFFET are meant to be "Hot", right? Well at Le Commensal not all the food are "that hot". I tried one of their dishes and it was lukewarm. AVOID the un-meat ball, it hurt my teeth. SUGGESTION - Don't just cook and fill up the buffet IF NO ONE is there. Cook as you see people coming in so its ACTUALLY fresh.
- Taste P2. - COLD BUFFET was a huge disappointment. Nothing out of the ordinary here. I could have easily bought those items at Metro, Loblaws or some specialty store for less (and better quality) and enjoy it outdoors or at the food court.
PRO:
- Dessert - Thank God the dessert was good, although it may look quite unappetizing (no wonder its more expensive too). The date square = Thumbs up.
(Did you noticed the PRO, and not PROs because there's only ONE PRO)
THE VERDICT
RELATIONSHIP PROSPECTIVE - If you are looking for a place to show your date/enemy/hated ex or friend a bad time, take them to Le Commensal. You will enjoy the fact they will pay a heft price to eat very little and if you help them scoop a couple of "Un-meat balls" you will see them suffer as they will have no idea whats stuck inside their mouth.
DEAL PROSPECTIVE - I seen this deal on GroupOn before and now on Teambuy. I am certain it will be on another daily deal platform. If you're a true deal-logist this is not the deal for you.
HEALTH PROSPECTIVE - If you are looking to shed some pounds because you're wallet is too heavy - Le Commensal is your answer.
REPEAT BUSINESS - No I don't see myself going back to Le Commensal. During my brief time there I actually wanted to tell the staff "The food here's really bad, have you tried them before?". I really don't get like that people! First time in my life.
