| - This place looks very appealing when you walk by and has a cool interior downstairs, but I felt my visit last night was just alright and nothing spectacular.
We arrived around 9pm last night for dinner. One of the servers said please choose any table for 2 only, meaning my friend and I couldn't sit at a table for 4. Which is understandable but there were so many empty tables of 4, empty tables in general so I'm not sure who they were saving it for. It seemed like they tried to squish as many tables as possible on their patio making it super tight and uncomfortable. Once we sat down, we got waters right away and ordered some martinis. I would say the martinis were good value since I think the alcohol was free poured or something lol.
For our dinner, we ordered the pepperoni and chorizo pizza and the sausage pizza. We also started with Caesar salads. The salad was disappointing, didn't have any bacon or croutons, but I guess it was their take on the salad (had radicchio in it I believe). It wasn't bad but I guess I wanted a classic Caesar salad. My friend was there a few weeks ago and he wanted something he had last time so he asked the server if they changed their menu and she said "we're always changing our menu". She wasn't very friendly. I think she was over worked and tired, a little cranky but trying to hold it together lol. My friends pepperoni pizza was good, mine was lacking something. Just didn't have a lot of flavour. It was just salty meat. Also they put cilantro instead of basil on top. Guess they ran out.
We decided to grab another drink but felt pressured because the waitress was turning people away because they were closed (it was only 10pm). I guess King St. shuts down early. With 2 drinks each, 2 pizzas and salads, the bill was about $108 before tip.
I think next time I'll try something else on King. Service wasn't the best, and food was decent but lacking something. Overall an okay experience.
