| - Awful, awful, awful! I will never go back!
I still don't get what all the rave is about with Cora's. There are TONS of other cool, funky one-off brunch places (with amazing food) to check out in the city, so why resort to a chain restaurant that perpetually has a lineup, and is super tacky on the inside? Can you guess that I am not a fan? :-) Usually I would never write a review so awful (I'm one to usually see the positive side of things), but I feel like this place deserves it. It is definitely not a foodie kind of place.. it's good if you appreciate food like Denny's in the 'burbs.. but it's definitely not a memorable brunch spot for downtown T.O. by any means..
We were here years ago and I am still holding a grudge. First off, the service was terrible. We arrived and waited about 25 mins for the server to take our order (it wasn't even busy). We could see beyond this, as sometimes there are disconnects. The waitress took our order, and table after table started filtering in after we ordered. We waited.. and waited.. and waited... the tables that had arrived even 30 minutes after us were already getting their orders, and we still hadn't. The waitress kept coming over to the table to let us know it would only be 2 more minutes for our food to come... she came over and told us this on 3 different occasions.. again, we waited, patiently... she finally came over, an hour and a half after us arriving and just having coffee, that she had lost our order and wanted to find out what we had ordered.. . Really? Could she have not told us this, um, maybe an hour before.. ? I'm sure she was aware that our order was forgotten, so she could have manned up to save herself the embarassment (did she honestly think we'd forgotten our food and would just leave without calling her on it?!). To say the least, I was highly disappointed with the incompetent waitstaff and the food. When our eggs finally arrived, they were completely unextraordinary and weren't anything to bat an eyelash at.
There were no apologies and they didn't offer to comp our meals. She offered us an additional cup of coffee or a juice, and suggested that we order as that would be free. We asked if our food would be comp'd and she said no, it would only be a coffee or juice. We passed on her "comp" that was almost a slap in the face for making us wait so long. I will never go back here. There is nothing about this place that is worth it. So many more gems in the city to dine at, why bother with this highly commercial chain restaurant, with horrible service to boot.
