Fail...
Came on a holiday Monday.
6 ppl seated in an empty restaurant.
Ordered some beers and some caesars, caesars took 20 mins. Ordered 6 meals. 30 mins went by, nothing. Asked one of the two servers working, what was going on. He shrugged and said "patios busy..." clearly didnt give a shit.
After 45 mins our first plate came, then 5 mins more for the next plate and so on. A six person table served one at a time over the course of the next 25 mins.
The table of 6 behind us were also getting agitated, and they just upped and left.
Again, as we keep seeing in Toronto, the necc personnel are not given shifts to save some owner $100.
Saving $100, and losing $1000's in repeat business is bad for you. The economics are quite simple.
On staff at clintons on a holiday Monday:
1 slow female waitress
1 indifferent male waiter
1 line cook
0 bartender
Required (cut personnel as needed, but be cautious when doing so)
Min 3 waitstaff
1 bartender
2 line cooks to help each-other in their "tiny kitchen"
And the food was as good as the service...
