| - I created a Yelp account JUST FOR WISH because of how disappointed I was with it - especially a Summer/Winterlicious-listed restaurant/lounge in the illustrious Yorkville neighbourhood.
Was super excited to visit this restaurant since I moved into the area almost a year ago: Finally went for my and 2 other friends' birthdays. Made the reservation for 9 a week in advance, and asked about the birthday special that's on the website (if the bday person has a bday within 5 days they get a free APP and ENTREE).
Was really excited to try the seared scallop risotto. Got there, nice atmosphere, very quaint and cozy. at first all the waiters seemed nice and cheery and very accommodating (we had one person come by about an hour late). We ordered drinks and a couple of appetizers. I ordered the charcuterie dish and my friends ordered the calamari. Charcuterie dish was great, nice presentation and tasty overall. The calamari tasted like fried chicken.
When we finally were ready to place our orders, I was told they were SOLD OUT of their scallop risotto. Heartbroken, I ordered the striploin steak instead. It was remarkably mediocre. I asked for rare, and it was quite on point in terms of finish, however it was bland, and very unimpressive.
A friend who ordered the lobster bisque had to send it back because it tasted so watered down and rather lemony. When we raised the issue with the waitress she had a nonapologetic attitude and it wasn't until we had to SAY it didn't taste good that she finally got the point and asked what she would like instead. Still didn't apologize for the terrible-tasting bisque.
at the end of the night, the bill was a mess. I wanted to make sure they would honour the birthday special so I asked an older waitress about the special and she questioned me a few times about when i had "made this deal with the restaurant" and when I indicated that it was on the website she shrugged her shoulders and said "i don't work here, I'm just helping out" with a HUGELY dismissive attitude.
The girl who was originally helping us brought our receipt out - however both my app - the charcuterie and the terrible bisque were on the bill. When I asked about the bisque they removed it straightaway however I was told rather snobbishly that they wouldn't honour my free app because "i had shared it with other people" and if I had finished A WHOLE CHARCUTERIE PLATE by myself, then they would have honoured it. we left very very dissatisfied.
The food was mediocre at best (except for the seafood chowder - it was very nice) the service was terrible and overall the attitude was snobbish and condescending. Thanks for making my birthday dinner memorable for how terrible the experience was.
