| - I had Thanksgiving dinner here and I was a little disappointed with the meal. The description sounded wonderful: turkey with mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, brussels sprouts, sage and apple stuffing and cranberry relish ($28).
The portion of food was incredibly small for $28. I saw half of one brussels sprout on my plate (after searching for a minute, though) and there was about a tablespoon of gravy on the plate. Flavours were ok but the carrots were still crunchy and the stuffing (served in individual muffin portion) was lukewarm.
They had a Sunday roast dinner on as well, served with Yorkshire pudding, which I love, so I asked if I could have one with my dinner. The waiter said he'd see what he could do. It arrived on my friend's plate, and it was cold. Not good. Even worse was when I found out AFTER (when the bill came) that I was charged $2 for it. If I'd known I would be charged for it, I'd have asked for it to be warmed up.
For dessert, I had their special sticky toffee pudding with rum raisin ice cream. It was good, but definitely not what I'd call a pudding. It was like a muffin/cake with sauce poured over it.
Nowhere near as good as my home cooked turkey dinner, but since this is my first Thanksgiving in Toronto, I certainly wasn't going to make a turkey dinner this year. Maybe next year when I know more people!
Service was decent, but I didn't like how the server refused to make any substitutions or modifications. One of the guests at our table is vegan and asked for a pizza with no cheese, but was told they were "too busy" to accommodate her request. I've never heard of a cook who was too busy to leave off an ingredient. Bizarre.
