I am easy to please. If you've got cold beer and something edible I will likely leave with a favourable opinion of your establishment. People who eat out with me regularly know that I'm generally happy with whatever I get and rarely complain. But I just have to complain about my shoddy experience at The Bloor Street Diner yesterday evening.
A couple of friends and I went for a pre-movie drink on the patio and it took over 20 minutes to get our drink orders in, a time period in which I would have normally downed my first pint. The time between ordering drinks and receiving them was 10-15 minutes, which oddly enough was the same amount of time it took for my companions to receive the food they eventually ordered. Surely pulling a pint takes less time than assembling brushetta, no? After I finished my first drink, I was left with an empty glass for half an hour. While my group and I were there for almost three hours, we only consumed 2 drinks each, but would have happily consumed more, had we been given the chance. While the server was pleasant, she paid us very little attention and as a result our bill and her tip were far less than they could have been.
So, to sum up - really bad service and I will avoid returning here in the future.
