| - Peak top is the anchors place at First Markham place.
They have excellent BBQ , pretty decent Cantonese cuisine ...
But why do the owners have to chase away their clients by Nickel and dime their clients?
I used to Be a peak top fan because they have good food, and even a good server Patrick,who has since left last year.
I have been going to peak top since they open at First Markham and even after they renovated.
The reason why I stopped becoming their fan was because of the same reason why I will not go back again....I went here on December 11, 2015 to give them another chance :)
Again food is good..a but oily but ok.
I ordered their flaming oyster with shallot in a foiled package, BBQ pork, Chinese "hollow" vegetables with CHINESE chili tofu paste and beef.
The server came back and said that the "hollow" vegetables are not in season, and I could pick other vegetables. So I said okay. The vegetable that I substituted was Chinese lettuce which is cheaper than the "hollow" vegetables. The list price for the vegetable and beef was $10.50
When the vegetable plate arrived, it was missing the beef. So the owner guy took it back into the kitchen and it came back with some beef (a bit tough) and overdone vegetables. But I figured that at least they tried.
The surprise came with the bill. They charged us $13.50 for the beef with vegetables, which was exactly what they used to do - changing prices when they felt like. Previously , if you asked for BBQ meat platter, you could not ask for the combination that you liked, I was told that you have yo lay $4 more. This is not the same practice I other BBQ restaurants.
One time I went there and asked for the same tea that I always had, I was told that they just changed the policy and If you want to get a different type of tea, you paid more.
Another time, they ran out of some vegetables and they substituted with vegetables of similar value, I had to pay more, just like this time.
So NO more peaktop... Because until they realized that they are no longer a monopoly of the best BBQ, clients don't feel like being manipulated by their DYNAMIC pricing...or just buy the out BBQ and leave their price manipulation to the owner guy, his sister and wife to have fun with!
Also they NEVER take credit card, ever! So their greedy owners can keep changing prices, and take all the cash!
