| - ** my review was in limbo in another location so moved it where it should be
This location has just opened where the Swiss Chalet used to be at Danforth and Carlaw. They have done a semi reno, blowing out the kitchen area replaced with a bar. The table and chairs, some art work, and design are somewhat a recycled version of what was there. I`m surprised that a place that has only just opened in the last two weeks is not that clean. The dust on the retractable doors is an eyesore, the floors are mucked up and it`s not even winter, the bathrooms were not fresh and the pictures on the wall already have spot stains.
On to food. We were the only table being that it was 4pm. We ordered 3 Large Wings, mild, medium and hot&honey. We asked the server how hot was the medium compared to mild, she said that there was no difference in heat that the mild compared to medium was in the amount of sauce. Never heard that one before.
She was great to the kids and very friendly, but who has given her the cue to wear a skirt so short that as she walked by you could actually see her underwear.
The large orders consists of about 16 wings and comes with fries (big chunky crinkle frozen jobs), and their signature dip (dill mayo sour cream mix). I don`t really like the sterile packages it comes in feels a bit cafeteria instead of pub.
We really just couldn`t understand how the wings arrived luke warm!! We were the only table and they should have been piping hot to handle. They were overcooked dry, except for the hot and honey which were saucy and I think masked the dry bits.
I'm going out on a limb here but I think this franchise restaurant is commissary style. Those were not fresh cooked in the least. Another funny thing you get about 10 fries with each large order thrown on top of the wings. Not that you need a tonne of fries but you would assume large wings, large fries.
This neighbourhood is family all over it and I don't think a dirty pub with big screen TV's badly cooked over priced wings and sexy servers is going to cut rug. Good luck to them, but I will not be back.
1 star for our server who worked hard and one star for the company I was with.
