| - It's a Wednesday night, the place is practically empty and it still took about 10 minutes for someone to notice we were standing by the door waiting to be seated. Do you seat yourself at Queen Park? I'm a first-timer, actually, most of the women I was with also were, so we patiently waited.
Finally, we sat, and our waiter greeted us. He was a friendly guy and brought waters to our table promptly. Things seemed to be picking up. After checking out the menu, we placed our drink orders, but one after another the drinks we requested weren't in stock. As a cider drinker, our waiter suggested another cider and I agreed to give the alternative a shot. When he came back, everyone else had their bevs expect for me. He said he didn't hear me. *eye roll* So, he came back minutes later with my drink.
Before placing our orders a friend mentioned that she is gluten-free and asked if they have a GF menu. They don't but the chef can accommodate, said our waiter. With that, we placed our orders. The food came out centuries later, or so it felt like that. With my GF friend her salad had croutons on it...nope. She sent it back, and the salad came back a little too quickly for me to think they re-made it rather than just plucking the croutons off the salad.
Sadly, the food was nothing spectacular. I ordered the nachos and as a vegetarian, I firmly believe that veggies should be added for free or a reasonable additional charge, not $3. The nachos were weak and soggy with the amount of cheese poured over the chips.
I can't say I will be coming back to Queen Park Social for a dining experience, but I will come to an event or maybe to partake in games. With the level of service we received when the joint was dead, I can't fathom what the service would be like when this place is hopping on the weekends.
