| - I was very optimistic when I came across the Yelp reviews and photos, but our experience was sub-mediocre to mediocre. I will give this restaurant the benefit of the doubt that perhaps we came in on an off-day on a Friday night.
Seating: We were the last to be sat at 6:30pm, but the first to be served. Not a good sight for the other patrons with drinks and no food I'm sure.
Staff: Understaffed. Tried to sell appetizers hard, but we didn't bite. Didn't know why such insistence at first, but then we knew why... (see next section). When we left, there wasn't a goodbye, thank you, or anything. No words.
Food prep: Inconsistent. My partner ordered identical item, but he had no issues with the flavouring of spices.
Wait Time for Food: Long. Was in the throes of getting up to put on my coat 30 minutes later when suddenly arrives...
Chicken and Waffles: The flavours did not work well together. I am NOT speaking of the chicken + waffle + syrup---I am referring to the spices, flour batter, kiwi bits, and meringue dots. My first impression when the plate was set down was, "This portion is fantastic and large but Oh my God there is a whole, 8-pointed anise sitting on my plate...I better not be biting into whole anises throughout my meal or my tastebuds will suffer greatly".
Batter - premixed batter for deep fried chicken that is used at lots of bubble tea shops' snack menu
Spices - didn't go well with batter, every bite was a different, upsetting taste experience of cloves, anise, pepper flake, if you are really insistent on using these spices, try a pestle & mortar. But flavours are uncomfortable and shocking.
Kiwi - did nothing to compliment anything. It's like this kiwi was the last kid picked in a gym class.
Black half-cut fruit shapes - I couldn't figure out what fruit this was. My guess is grape or blueberry cut in halves.
Waffle - pre-made. Not fresh. I am -almost- tempted to say they tasted like they had been pre-made, frozen, and then warmed up again prior to serving.
Meringue dots - cheap pink and white meringue cookies that tasted like...not meringue but more like...flouride...the cheap ones they sell at chinese bakeries.
To be fair, I will try Smash Kitchen & Bar's chicken and waffles and write a review later on to make a more proper comparison. But this review was definitely not a comparison, but simply my honest thoughts about my own dining experience. Brutal honesty may be better than saying nothing at all and watching this place crash and burn.
