Winterlicious at Kalendar? No thank you. I haven't been since 2011 when I moved from Toronto but it remained one of my favourite restaurants in the city. Until today. I hope that it's just the winterlicious menu... but I'll be honest I'm afraid to try again with so much other choice in Toronto. Starter was ok, the entree (steak) was pitiful. I could have made a better steak at home, never mind that one third was inedible (cartilage or fat) and the sides that came with it were Swiss-Chalet worthy. The dessert was not even worth mentioning, I should have stuck with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Instead I asked for the tiramisu which looked like someone else's leftovers. Even after having it sent back and being told that was the last piece (which explained a lot) I was not even offered a coffee or a real apology.
It's a shame that for such a beautiful place they have such terrible service..
Food came out very slowly and service was slow even though the restaurant was not busy. Had to ask for dessert after rudely being served with our bill immediately after the entrees. The waiter was clearly having a bad day but there is no excuse for lazy cold service, and I cannot excuse Kalendar for throwing together such a below-average Winterlicious menus. For 10$ more I could have eaten at a far more
superior restaurant. Wholly disappointed.
