Based on the positive reviews on Yelp, we went to MLT for din.
The front foyer was paved with colorful crafted tiles. White table cloth tables. The place was classy.
The attentive hostess offered us to put away our coats when I obviously scouting for a place to hang my coat.
We ordered a few drinks from a rather cheerful gentleman. Beers from a cask were different for me. A quick review of their wine list, all drinks and cocktails appeared to be all in order. The price was your typical Toronto mark up. No complaints there.
The choices in the menu covered a large range of variety. Grilled meat, specialty pasta and etc. Beers had arrived. Only a pint and a half available. Another wait staff announced that the half pint is free. Free beer? We love free beer. I took the large one as my pal had to rush back to la belle province after dinner. The beer tasted good.
Food was served and our night had gone down hill from here. Homemade sausages were served in slices. A few slices. They tasted alright, nothing ordinary. It was rather expensive for a few slices. The mushroom soup was ok, but I had better somewhere. Two of us ordered the "la nouvelle" lasagna for main. The dish was dried and burnt. I strongly suspected our serve forgot about dishes and left them under the tanning light for a bit. We had to wait for 45 minutes between our appetizers and mains. I couldn't finish my main. It was really dried.
The bill came. We were charged for the half pint and a bottle red from the next table. The server was kind enough to take my beer off the bill. It was a nice touch.
Guess what? We could not find our coats when we leave. The nice hostess had gone home for day. The server finally located the costs from the booths.
It was rather a negative experience.
