| - LIve in the area and have walked past many times. Finally decided to take my wife for dinner one Friday evening.
Outside presentation - Building looks historic, which is nice, but walking south on Jarvis, if you miss the obscure entrance to the patio, you have to walk all the way around the patio. There is no central opening which lead pedestrians to the main door. Bad design. Secondly, the main door is this narrow unwelcoming entrance. I had to ask a smoker if this was actually the door to the restaurant. I walk up to the door and there is half a door handle. LIterally, there is a lone thumb latch which opens the door minus the actual handle. Not a great first impression.
Walk in and the greeter is nice, but I ask for a table for two and with open tables in the dining room, she asks if my wife and I want to sit at the bar. Strange. Also, it's Friday night at 7:30pm and the restaurant is at 30% capacity. Across the street at the Keg Mansion, you have to wait 45 min for a seat at the bar. Not a good sign if the restaurant is empty.
Time to order. The menu is totally different than the online version. I was expecting to order a 14oz T-bone, but no such thing exists on the actual menu.
Sit down and notice there is no fork at my wife's table setting. Not a big deal, but given the experience so far, a bit annoying. Further inspection of the dining area and I see 3 inches of stacked coasters supporting a table. Naturally the coasters are ripped, mangled and dirty.
So I ordered French Onion soup as my starter. Soup was warm. Not hot. Cheese was minimal. Bad combo for French onion.
I ordered the 10oz Rib eye that came with Mash potato and veggies. I look around my table and realize there is no salt or pepper and once I try my food I know why. The mash potato's and steak are extremely seasoned with salt. Half way through my meal I stopped tasting my food because of this. I am a salt over sugar kind of person, and this was still too much for me.
My wife ordered the Salmon and was given the option to sub mash for more veggies. She opted for more veggies, but when the dish came, the waitress acknowledged that potato's were put on the plate instead. She asks my wife if that's ok or if she would like veggies....Umm, yeah. Please bring her what she ordered. If the waitress noticed this when she brought the plate to the table, when didn't she just have the dish re-plated with the correct order?
Anyway, I was dying to stick around for dessert to see what else could go wrong, but we decided to pass. I paid my bill and tipped 15%, but I won't be coming back.
