| - Not cool. We were a group of 10, and they put us up on the 2nd floor. Given that there were two or three parties up there, I would think it would make sense to have at least one server up there at (almost) all times, but this wasn't the case. They also don't have buzzers, so if we wanted service when there was no one upstairs, we had to go downstairs and flag someone down. Considering that there was a minimum charge of $4.95/person, and they charge a mandatory tip of 15% if your group is over eight people and spend over $80, I expect service to be much better. Oh. They're also cash only even though they have Visa and Interac (I think) signs up on their door.
A number of us ordered drinks. Some of us ordered desserts. A few of us also ordered meals. I ordered their salt and spicy combo ($8.99). Beside the menu item, there were a number of assorted foods in a bracket. Generally, this means menu item description, no? When I ordered, the waitress said I could pick three of the assorted food items in the brackets. Nowhere on the menu (at least in English) did it say that I could only pick three. I thought I was getting them all. Not cool. I still ordered it. I got the Taiwanese sausage (which really didn't need the additional salt and pepper, the fried tofu, and the popcorn chicken). It was alright, but misleading.
Drinks: I heard the lychee slush (?) was super sweet. It looked like it was 70% foam, and 30% liquid. Not sure what that was about. When the server put down the drinks we ordered, he just deposited six drinks on the table and just walked away. He didn't tell us which ones were which. We had to flag him down to tell us. It's a good thing we did, because there was a drink there we didn't order, and one of the girls was missing her drink (dragonfruit slush). When we had all received our food, she still hadn't received her drink, so I asked after it. The server went to check on it, then came up and told us they didn't have that drink that day. Okay. Why didn't they tell us that as soon as they tried to enter it into the machine? She opts for an avocado and banana juice. The waitress says she doesn't think they have avocado, but she'll check. She leaves and doesn't come back, so we assume they have avocado, or they've forgotten about her again. At this point, we're assuming the second but hoping for the first. After we're done all our food, desserts, and other drinks, they still haven't brought her drink. We ask again. They go downstairs and check, come up and tell us that once again, they don't have her drink. At this point, we tell them she's not ordering, and we pay and leave. We still pay the mandatory tip for this lack of hospitality. It's quite sad, really. For the number of patrons in the restaurant and the number of servers I saw, they should have had more than enough manpower to serve us properly. I don't know if this can be attributed to lack of training or lack of management. Either way, I haven't had service this poor in a long time.
That night really wasn't that girl's night. From her seat, she could see into the kitchen. She told us she saw one of the kitchen people pour something into a blender, stick his hand in, then lick his hand. I'm inclined to believe her.
The food was alright, but given the atrocious service, I wouldn't recommend Destiny's to anyone. In fact, I might go out of my way to convince people not to come.
