| - When bier market first came to mississauga, I was so excited. I Love the one downtown, even the one in Etobicoke is pretty good. I don't know how these guys have managed to screw it up so badly. Here is a breakdown of the few times I've been here, over the past few months-
1) The first time we came, we went for oysters and fries. Husband decided he was still hungry, got some kind of sandwich (can't remember which now, sorry!).. fries were fine, but they should be. They're fries. Food is actually predictably good (read, not bad) but nothing special. However, I didn't like that I had to basically walk the server through his job- we had ordered 12 oysters, 4 from each bay, and I had to ask him which were which. Then, like a flash he started to leave (um, it was mid afternoon, not busy!), and I had to call him back because we wanted to know what the accompaniments were. Plus, it took a really long time to get our beers, and my poor water glass never got refilled. Anyway, no big deal- they're new, servers are new, managements new- they just need to catch their flow, right?? If only....
There were a few times from this point on when I grabbed a quick drink and a bite with friends. If I could rely on consistent service, I would have been happy. Nope.
2) this time, night time. I (regrettably) convinced a friend to move his Saturday evening birthday celebration to bier market (he had wanted to do Failte- another failure place in my eyes). I ordered food- salad (their salads are all pretty decent)- but it took over an hour and I just ended up cancelling it as I had to go and was tired of waiting. The bar staff was much better at this point though, they were quick, friendly and knowledgable. So, again, not sure if it was a wait staff problem or a kitchen problem, but I don't appreciate ordering food and never getting it. Poor form.
3) ) husband and I came BACK, for another mid afternoon lunch. We just don't learn, apparently. He didn't like anything about his poutine. I got my standard salad and some blonde beer. Decent. But the length of time it takes for the food to come out makes me wonder what would happen if the restaurant were busier.
Oh, and why do the little girls at the front always seem to have an attitude? Firstly, attitude in the service industry doesn't fly. It particularly doesn't fly when you're a suburban convenience, as opposed to a downtown destination. Get over yourselves and do your jobs please, kids.
I know this review comes off as mean. But my point is, there are less expensive options with friendlier, faster, better staff, and simply offering convenience and decent food just doesn't cut it. In the afternoon, the place is empty and everyone looks bored, and at night it's too crowded and the staff still look miserable. The crowd at night is disgusting, too. Like, just people I would rather not have to be close to in public.
I'm over this place.
