My third visit to Buster's Sea Cove finally warranted a review on Yelp. I work in the area and often visit the St. Lawrence Market for lunch. This is my third time in a half a year eating here. I've had the fried calamari and the bluefin fish n' chips before. Normally there's a crazy lunch lineup but on Tuesday, there were only a few people in front of me.
I ordered the halibut and chips and got my order quickly. Meanwhile, my friend ordered the grilled calamari and chips and waited way too long.
Issues:
- The line cook at the grill used the same pair of tongs to handle raw fish/seafood and the cooked fish/seafood (cross-contamination)!
- The line cook grilled the calamari for around 10 minutes, leaving my friend to chew and chew and chew and dumping her meal after the first piece of calamari.
- The head cook/guy who expedited was rude when I asked about my friend's meal ("he's cooking it now!")
- The order for #120 (grilled calamari and salad) was called out and given to the client before my friend's order (#108). How rude!!
- My fried halibut was massacred and was already so on the tray the fryer cook used to transport for plating.
- No finesse, no care in the handling of food. Yes, you're busy, but dumping food on a plate and serving underpar food makes you lose customers, reputation and gain shitty reviews like this one.
