| - We had booked a reservation for my daughter's birthday. We had passed this place after a Leaf's game and it caught her eye.
Upon arrival, we were taken upstairs, to a very empty second floor. The Maitre'D looked around, puzzled, then took us back downstairs, (group of five getting a grand tour.) There, more puzzled look and went to seat us at an elevated bar type seating. I told her that this was unacceptable, trudged us back up to the top and sat us at a table. Why she couldn't have done this the first time? I have no clue. She did say: "Don't shoot the messenger." At that point, we should have left, but it was cold outside and we were tired and hungry.
We ordered soup to start. It came cold, with a skin on the top. We had it reheated. Soup was slightly less than par, with or without the skin and temperature considered.
For a main, I had the burger. It was a touch better than ok, but the waitress was totally clued out. Hate to put it this way, but this is the kindest I can be. Disorganized? Call it what you like.
The prices are a bit more than midrange. I would expect that to reflect in the service. I think this is more of a bar for drinks after work to meet one's secretary at. There are so many restaurants in this area, I would find it hard to understand why anyone would go here. No attraction what so ever.
