We took a group out from the office for a goodbye lunch for a colleague and decided to go to Spring Rolls. Normally we go to the Spring Rolls at Yonge and Dundas but for some reason we decided to try to location on Front Street--what a mistake.
When we arrived the host seemed to be confused about where we were sitting. After a lengthy wait and discussion they decided that we were sitting downstairs. As we descended the stairwell you could already smell the bathrooms--the stench filled the basement. We sit down at the table and the hostess tells us about the "All You Can Eat Special" for $14.99 per person. We all agreed to the special. I will spare you the all of the details but suffice it to say that they provided very little food and what they did bring was not up to the standard of my previous experiences at other Spring Rolls locations.
There was only one full-time staff in the basement so there were huge waits in-between courses. In short it took her 2 hours just to bring out the 3 courses so there was no possibility of ordering more than 1 serving since you are required to finish within 2 hours. All You Can Eat? Methinks not. I ordered 1 9 oz. glass of wine and all together my tab was nearly $30! (including a mandatory 15% tip!) What I received was certainly not worth $30 in either quantity or quality. This was a total rip-off and the worse restaurant experience I have had in Toronto in quite sometime. I don't think I will ever visit the Front Street location ever again.
