I actually made a yelp account just to review this restaurant. That is how disappointed I am with it. As a business owner myself, i hope that this is a sign to do some improvements.
We had a table of 10.
For tapas style food, the food really needs to keep flowing, at no point should you really be sitting 15 minutes between plates. It is understandable for larger tables, however one of my friends had the clam dish and her dish only came after everyone was finished their food. Were they defrosting the clams?? Because they were all rubbery.
-Branzino was good
-Romanesco was good
-Carbonara, the pasta was definitely from a box and was undercooked, not al dente
-Octopus and bone marrow was solid
-Wine list was like they chose any random bottle off the lcbo rack
-Waiting staff was quite nice and pleasant
I don't mind paying alot for dinner. I've had $400+ personal dinner bills before, but when you are paying a premium for dinner. You are not just paying for food, the premium needs to encapsulate the entire experience. Use those high margins to improve your restaurant, because if you don't you wont get repeat customers. No one at are table was impressed & none of us will be coming back.
