We decided to go to Anchor Bar after Kelseys closed down. We watched with anticipation as they were renovating, waiting for their opening.
On Saturday Oct. 22, we were driving by around 4 pm and noticed that it was finally open so we decided to have an early dinner.
We were greeted promptly and offered a table or a booth as it was not busy.
That is where the good part ended.
Our Server came over and took our drink order and within a longer time than we thought it should take, we received our drinks. We were about half way through our drinks when our Server returned to take our order.
My wife ordered Chicken Tender Melt and I opted for the Wing Dinner, because Anchor Bar invented the wings in Buffalo.
Our orders arrived and placed on the table. Our Server left and my wife looked at her plate and questioned me if this was what she ordered. We both received a Wing Dinner!
We looked for our Server and she was no where to be seen. So we flagged down the Receptionist and she found our Server.
Our Server came over and my wife told her that this was not what she ordered. Our Server immediately told her what the order should have been.
She removed the incorrect order and took it away. While she was gone, we discussed that possibly the Wing Dinner I ordered may not have been the flavour I ordered. As I have no reference, I could not say, but we both suspect that our orders were actually for another table and we both received some else's order.
To say the least... we were not impressed and feel that with all the other great wing places in Toronto - Wild Wing, Wingporium, Buffalo Wild Wing and St. Louis Bar to name a few - that Anchor Bar will not be hurting their business any time soon.
