Weird...just weird.
A bartender suggested the Drake Hotel's rooftop to us for a Sunday Funday Toronto style. We arrived and proceeded up the stairs to the rooftop. We were greeted by a "door girl" with a clip board. We quickly told her we just wanted to hang at the bar and started to proceed. She stopped us and said that there was a 20 minute wait. I clarified "the bar" part to her again and again was told 20 minutes. There was absolutely NO ONE seated at the bar at this time. NO ONE!!! We waited awkwardly by the door for about 3 minutes before the "door girl" came back over and said she had received approval from the bar for us to be seated. WTF does that mean? Whatever, we were approved. We ordered our drinks and just sat for about 15 minutes and watched. The bartenders and servers were never rude, but just never overly friendly. We also watched as this whole bizarre door scene played out 5 more times with arriving parties. We decided we had had enough. We paid our tab and went downstairs to wait for the rest of our party.
Our party arrived and there is 1 high top table open. We proceed to sit and are told to go ask the hostess if we can sit. She comes over and says there is a 10 minute wait. SHUT THE FRENCH UP! Again? Really? So, we stand there for 15 minutes as we watch 2 other parties try to claim that table and each are denied just as we were. So, she finally comes back to us and seats us at that same empty table we tried to sit at 15 minutes ago.
The food was just average...definitely didn't hit the spot and most of us left hungry still.
Overall, a very bizarre experience with just average food.
