| - I don't expect wait staff to automatically hop to attention when I enter their establishment, but this place is something else. I live nearby, so I've often compromised my principles and returned, for the convenience, but certainly not the service. One night, when the place was utterly barren, I was refused seating near the windows (I wanted to read) and was told I had to sit in one of the dark, tiny two-seater booths (I was alone--BAD idea in the King/Bathurst area). When I insisted on the window so I could read (every other table was empty), I was still refused. So I left, and they were fine with that. Well, I've gone back a few times (I live minutes away, remember?) and each visit's been a trying experience, I'll tell you. If you're a guy or gal on your own, don't even bother--you'll sit there 10-15 minutes before someone even acknowledges your existence. I walked out tonight and they were seemingly fine with that. Too bad--the menu doesn't change much but the food is good, drink selection more than fine, and the decor (an old bank) spacious and otherwise pleasant. Too bad about the service...or utter lack of...
