| - I was standing outside Verona, a little panicked. Typical Maha situation: Leave the country without notifying USBank that she was going to be using her debit and credit in Toronto.
The phone call took forever. Finally, a Peter picks up and starts processing my account status update. At one point, he asks, "How do you spell Canada?"
"Excuse me?"
I'm standing in a stairwell - a bustling crowd with nonstop traffic, I wasn't sure I heard this moron correctly.
"HOW DO YOU SPELL CANADA? IS IT CANDA?"
And that folks, is how I will always remember my first time to Verona. I wasn't even in the venue yet and the association was already settled. Ironic that I called USBank of all places, too.
As for the restaurant, this place is expensive as hell and not really worth the price. But with the right company, it could be somewhat worth it. As an American, it reminded me how little the Canadian dollar is behind us in terms of worth.
Was not very impressed with their wine menu, most of which is only and exclusively available by the bottle.
The location is great, the staff is friendly and the ambiance is calm. Food really is delicious. The uppity-rich nature of the venue made me really nervous though, mostly because the waitstaff was anxious it was going to screw up.
