| - My wife and I decided to check out this cute looking french bistro one day while walking around Toronto.
We come in, this not so happy host seats us and then says...you will have five minutes to order, because we end lunch at 2:30pm and then reopen at 5pm for dinner.
Now that does not shock me, many places shut down between those hours to prepare for a dinner menu. But the way she said it to us, was like your mother saying "I will give you 5 minutes to decide what you want for lunch"
Anywho, we look and decide to order some sandwiches.
The waitress comes over and says, "the following items are no longer available for lunch and names off a few things. Well our luck, one of them was the sandwiches we decided to order. Well this waitress looked like we told her she was fired. She was so mad and stormed off before we could say anything, and comes back..."ok fine we can make them". She did not even give us a chance to tell her that we would order something else on the menu, but she just ran off in mid sentence to ask.
So we get our food a few minutes later, and are told "hurry and finish up, we are closing in 10 minutes." So we are beyond pissed now, why seat us, take our damn order, make the food and then tell us hurry up we have to close???? Just tell us when we walk in that you are closing.
So then some lights go off in the place, we continue eating and laughing because this shit is just insanity. The waitress comes over while we are still eating, and places the check on the table. So much for dessert haha.
We pay, leave a small tip...because, well the waitress had left for her break...and I said to my wife later, "you know it would have been all worth it, if the food has actually tasted good."
We also wondered...what if we did not eat our food faster? Would they have turned all the lights off and locked us in until 5pm?
Subpar food...awful service...and the craziest dining experience I have had while on vacation.
