| - We came to Jack Astor's Dundas Square on Sun Jun 17th. We started out as a group of 7 & had 3 others joining us later. We asked for a pation seat and waited patiently for about an hour. During this time someone vomitted in front of our table in front of the enterance to the patio. The vomit remained there for at least 1/2 hour before it was cleaned up. In this time patrons, including children had to walk through it. Nothing was put down to cover it up nor was a sign put up to avoid it. We eventually got a table on the patio and ordered more drinks. There was an event at Dundas Square so occasionally we would stand up to look at the crowd. Everyone on the patio was standing up but the security kept targetting and harrassing our table in particular. When asked to sit down we would but also asked why only our table was being asked to sit as others stood, hanging over the balcony taking pics, etc. We were told mind our business. After 2 of our friends left to go downstairs for a bit we were told that they were going to take our table. We informed them that we have other people coming to join us shorty. The manager, John, said he didn't care and if our guests weren't there in 10 minutes he's taking our table. At this point our guests arrived. After we asked to get another chair for our guests we were told there weren't any (which there were) and our friends had to leave because they were standing. Again, there were MANY tables with patrons standing around them but only our table was being harrassed. At this point we decided we will get our bill, finish our drinks and leave. As soon as our bill was paid the security guard - a giant black man with a bald head, about 6'5, 350lbs - came over & informed us we had to leave now. When we asked why they told us that we paid our bill 1/2 hour ago & now we had to leave even though we only just received our bill. We told them this and they said too bad. At this point I told him that I just paid for my drink and I will finish it and leave. The security then grabbed me roughly by the arm and contiuned to push and shove me with all of his might out of the restaurant. I am a female, about 5'8 130lbs. This man used all of his might to push and shove me out even though I told him I would go willingly several times and to please take his hands off of me. I also told him that he's hurting me but he just applied more pressure. It was definitely intentional. At the enterance he literally picked me up and threw me out, to the point that I came off of the ground. Again, I'm half his size yet he handled me like a man. At this point I fell and almost smashed my face in the ground. I now have brusies on my arm and a black eye from the incident. Never in my life have I ever been kicked out of anywhere, let alone abused by staff at a restaurant. I have pictures of my injuries as well as witnesses to the whole thing. There is no need for ANY MAN, especially at a restaurant, to assult a woman in that manner. It's unbelievable & and outrage that we were treated in such a way. This was my first time to Jack Astor's as well as the guests that we had visiting from BC, here to celebrate my birthday. And this is how their last day and my birthday celebration was spent - taking abuse from the Jack Astor's staff. This type of treatment is unacceptable and totally uncalled for. To make matters worse, the manager there, John, just stood and laughed as I was being manhandled by his staff. Completely unprofessional. Needless to say I will never go back to any Jack Astor's again.
