| - * Not impressed with 'O&B' name - Imperial Buffet and Famoso was better!
* Been here awhile back and returning to see if any changes (visited on a regular night and not summer/winterlicious)
* Waiter never came until 10mins after we seated and disappears for long periods at a time. Not impressed.
* Venison Shepard's pie was pretty good, but for $19 it is a bit $$. so-so impressed
* skip the Smokey pizza as it was 'meh'. Toppings and white sauce was just slapped on like a corner takeout. Large crust area was left. I can overlook it at pizza pizza, but this is not that place. FAMOSO @ Yorkdale was better despite the 'wood stove' claim. Not impressed
* Skip the Sunday roast special (which seemed like no-brainer). York pudding was hard as rock and the whole bottom was actually still soaking in oil! In oil! I could not believe it! Any other 'lower' place I can overlook, but O&B brand name? I would be embarassed if I owned this. Roast was okay. Lacking flavour and you could tell it was medium rare off the roast and pan cooked to medium and up temp. I have had better at Imperial Buffet (seriously). Pan gravy 'sauce' was more like 'pan drips'. I have gotten more liquid from a dairy creamer than what I received. Cauliflower looked 'dead' and was overly salty. One token 'bok choy' mixed in with 4 or 5 string beans. Definitely not impressed.
* $6 pom spritzer and blueberry spritzer was half-decent, but I really came for the food. So-so impressed.
* Complain to the waiter or kitchen? Wasn't in the mood so let the whole thing slide.
* Got the dessert menu and whole dinner was a exponentially negative experience. We let the dessert slide and paid our $95 dinner and ended up down the road having dessert instead. Not-impressed
* Would have had a better, cheaper and a full meal @ Imperial Buffet!
* Maybe we ordered the wrong thing, maybe it was a 'bad' night, maybe we expected too much, maybe I could have better at a local non-brand name joint, maybe there were too many maybe's to really bother with, maybe we will never come back, maybe you are right.
