So disappointing. Ignoring the Toronto star review and deciding to take the reviews of yelpers into consideration, my partner and I went last night. We were excited for date night and live right next door. To our surprise the prices were less than we expected, however so was the food quality. Before I touch on that, let me talk about the awkward customer service. We came in a bit early (ten mins before our reso) and everything seemed really disorganized and the host was very awkward with us. There are so many people doing all kinds of different jobs for a half empty restaurant which was confusing. Especially because it took a long time to get drinks when it seemed like there were three bartenders? The first cocktail was very nice- non, je ne regrette rien. But we both had a feeling, because of the disorganized atmosphere that we were in for a disappointing meal. Our server was attentive, nice and prompt. She brought bread which was the probably one of the best things we had that evening. We ordered the Louisiana pork and black eyed peas to start which was bland and not cooked well. I suggested we try to the gnocchi because we may have just ordered the wrong appetizer. The gnocchi was mush with absolutely no solidity to it. My partner got the chicken "americaine" and it was pretty pathetic. I got steak frites which was okay but the steak was cold and fries were way too seasoned. The awkward host from before came by as I was taking long with my steak which was okay but not outstanding ( the keg is better) and she said to my partner "is she just a slow eater or does she not like her steak?" What??? So odd. The highlight was the dessert. Delicious. Not worth the 200+tip we spent!
