| - Went yesterday for a birthday party.
I want to make one thing clear from the outset, and that is that our server was great! Super nice guy and pretty attentive.
Now, this is my first time eating here, I didn`t even know this place existed until yesterday (but then, I`m never in Oakville anyway). The party was for 9 p.m. and we had a group of about 20 people. We got there around 9:15 and although busy with our group, it wasn`t a full house otherwise for a Friday night.
When it came to ordering, my boyfriend and I ordered the Halibut tacos as our appetizer, the club chicken burger for me, and the spicy crispy chicken burger for him.
This is where it kind of started going downhill.
Firstly, our Halibut tacos never arrived. Ever. At all. Not wanting to make a fuss since we were at someone`s birthday party, we just let it go.
Secondly, because it was a fairly large group of people, we knew the food would take a while to come out as they want everyone to start eating around the same time. No problem. Forty or so minutes later our mains finally arrived.
My burger and fries arrived cold. Again, didn`t want to make a show so just ate it. My boyfriend`s burger buns were cold and his burger had bacon strips in it. The bacon wasn`t fully cooked and several strips were still fleshy and pink. We don`t know how much of it he ate before he realized but he developed a stomach ache after. If there`s probably one item of food that should never be semi-cooked, it`s a pork product.
Needless to say, we likely will not be coming back here to eat. The menu, although decent, is kind of all over the place between tacos, burgers, pad thai, and a bit on the pricier side.
Again, had it been supremely busy, I would`ve understood the blunders. But considering we were really the only people there aside from a few other couples on a Friday night, kind of inexcusable.
