| - My DC and I were super-excited about going to this place. I love The Boil in Lower East Side. How did I miss Toronto Boil for a whole year?!
My visit was very disappointing, 1 star. But I want this place to do well, and the problem might be inexperienced staff who are learning the ropes (we did go before the official opening), so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.
In short, there was WAY WAY too much butter in the bag and it made the boil gross. You might think that you can't have too much butter, but you can, and it is disgusting.
We asked nicely about this. Our server told us that the kitchen said they put half the normal amount of butter. Checking out other people's boil on the way, it didn't seem like anyone had anywhere as much as we did.
Our server didn't offer any remedy, and being nice Canadians, we didn't ask for one. But my DC is never, ever going back to this place and I had a bad stomach ache. It's too bad, the okra was really tasty, once I scraped all of the gross goo off, the portions were generous, and the price was great for snow crab. Hopefully they get their act together.
If you do decide to go, ask for low butter and send it back immediately if it looks gross. Seriously, don't be nice, they need to learn not to serve gross food.
