| - Our hockey team has been to this place many times. Why? Because it's the closest bar to the nearby hockey arena. No other reason. It certainly isn't because of the overpriced food, which is merely serviceable, and the generic beer selection.
But last night hit new lows. We arrived at about 7:25 and promptly ordered. We asked for large fries to share before the main courses, and beer. The fries, which are merely a handful (I kid you not), come in a "cute" little fryer basket. Sorry, don't care about the presentation. Save your money and instead get us more fries. The fries were not hot and we sent them back. Still no beer. Then the beer comes. Then we wait.
And wait. And wait. The server, who was kind enough, explained that there was a big birthday party and that our order (only four food orders) was coming. But for some reason, the party of two sitting beside us, who arrived about 10 minutes after us, got their meals fairly quickly.
So we waited some more. Got another round of "birthday party" excuses. Three of us finally had had enough and left. It was at this point that the server came over to the remaining three of us and told us that everything was on the house. We sat a few more minutes and then she returned and asked us if we still wanted our food. Odd question. Why, we asked? Because they had still not yet started the order. One hour later, and they had still not started the order.
We left. I'll advocate for the team that we find another place.
Have you ever seen 3200 Dufferin? It has to be the ugliest example of semi-suburban malls: endless concrete, drab, grey, and designed for cars. It's hideous. A perfect fit for Shoeless Joe's
