| - I've wanted to check out The Tilted Kilt after the chain was featured on an episode of 'Undercover Boss', but had to wait until my most recent trip to Toronto as there aren't any locations closer to where I live.
Just before I headed back home on the night of May 26, 2014, I parked a street away from The Esplande and walked to the location, which, contrary to Yelp's listing, is at 42 The Esplande, not 38. I walked in and was promptly greeted, and after being led a short way was allowed to choose my own table, as most of the crowd that night was out on the patio. I picked one near the back.
To get down to the rest of my experience, the shepard's pie that I ordered was pretty tasty, but I have no basis for comparison as I'd never had one until then. Service took a little longer than it should have all-around except for my first Diet Coke, especially while waiting to request my bill and to pay it, but I fault the servers less than I fault management for having just two servers on duty at a time when they should have had three.
As for the decor, it wasn't exactly special but it did add a nice touch. Also, the tvs were easily viewable from my vantage point, and the ones that I was watching were showing baseball and hockey. The bathroom setup caught me by surprise, as I've never seen a unisex sink/separate stall arrangement, though it works well.
While I wasn't entirely enthused by my experience this time, I'll give this location another chance at some point because neither the food nor the service was bad.
